School:
I walk to next period with Lillian. She seems to want to get to our next class quickly, and I'm fine with that.

"I said something really weird last period that Lucy was in trouble to get back at Iris. Alex was there too, and both of them thought something was wrong with me," Lillian says to me.

"That's weird," I reply.

"It was. I have no idea why I said it, it just came out. It was really random. I regret saying it now," Lillian says.

"What if she really was in trouble?"

"Why would she be? Isn't she good at... You know... Leaving school?"

"You don't have to say it like that. It's not some secret that she skips. I doubt she would be in trouble, as she knows how to fend for herself," I say.

"She is, I'm sure."

We enter our next class and we take our seats. The teacher let us pick seats, and Lillian and I sit next to each other as we are best friends. Cassandra is also in this class, but she doesn't sit near us. She would talk to much near us, so she was moved to a different seat.

I watch Lillian take out her binder right away. Soon after she does, I do as well.

"I don't understand why some people don't like school. Learning is fun," Lillian says to me.

"Some people don't like learning. And some people argue that we aren't going to need most of this stuff when we are older," I say.

"I'm fine with learning anything, as long as I'm learning. That's why I like school."

"Most people only like learning what they want to learn, you know."

"I know. I personally just enjoy learning. Everyone had their own opinion."

Class then starts. The teacher does the lesson somewhat lecture style while asking us questions on what we think happened or on what he was talking about. I am neutral about this style of teaching, as I don't hate it but I don't love it either.

Once the lesson ends, I go to my next class.
