"Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone" I chanted to Mason as he followed me down the schools hallway.

"C'mon Kate!" He hurried after me "I really need your help with this one"

I stop dead in my tracks and come to face him.

"What do you want?"

"Please help me study for the English test. I really need help with it, please?"

Ugh. Don't you just hate having to studying with your friends, just kidding. But seriously Mason can be very annoying.

The thought of money crosses my mind for a second or two. I mean, I could use if for me and Amanda's grand plan to escape home. Well not escape, but you see what I mean.

I tug at the sleeves of my blue fluffy sweater and answer him "What's in it for me?"

A sly smile is smeared across his face, I can tell he's holding in his laughter. "An invite to Glen Coco's party!"

"Ugh, are you kidding me Mason"

"You've got to admit, that was pretty funny"

Maybe. No it's not funny Mason.

"I really don't appreciate the Mean girls reference Mason"

"You're no fun" he sighs almost giving up.

Sadly he's not done yet.

"Please help me Kate" he pleads "I'll get you free tickets to the Steelers next game in Pittsburgh"

"OMG, really!" This is way too good to be true. I love the steelers almost as much as I love food. Although food is my number one bae. "Can I bring Nash? Oh we can have a double date with you and Lily"

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes" I give in sourly "don't you and Nash have football practice after school?"

It's like someone dimmed his lightbulb because he seemed to forget he had football practice "Oh" is all he says.

Yeah...oh.

"I have work today and tomorrow, so maybe after school tomorrow afternoon you can come over to my house to study?"

"Sounds lit" his lame attempt of sounding cool.

"Really Mason? did you just say 'sounds lit'. I can't believe you" I start to walk to Trig which I have with Molor.

"What?" He calls out after me "what'd I do?"

"Everything Mason, you did everything"

I take the corner leading to where all the spare lockers were kept. While the other lockers were round the hallways. I push the door open to the class and plop my bag down on the table next to Molor's.

She seemed engrossed in this book she held close to her nose. "What are you reading?" I say while arranging myself in my chair.

"Mm?" She sits up "Oh, um I'm reading The Clockwork Angel" she laughs quietly before continuing "It's a bit of a adolescent book but I still like it"

"Cool, and stop using big words such as adolescent. You're making my brain hurt, and making me feel dumb"

"I thought only math made your brain hurt?" She asks staring up at me from her book, clearly amused.

"Yeah, but a lot of things make my brain hurt"

"I know that already, you make it quite obvious"

"Hey!"

"Shhh" she hushes me for the fifth time this morning "Mr Junders will soon be here"

And surely enough, Mr Junders walks in with his heavy brown briefcase. Only lord knows what he keeps in it, he carries it with him all the time. He sets it down on the table up the front of the classroom. Mr Junders then turns to the class and nods at every single one of us before turning to face the board and starts off talking down today's notes.

I pulled out my notebook from my bag with remorse. I hate school. We take down notes for about half the lesson, with occasional shouts from Mr Junders, directed to Molor and I.

"Hey Liam, can I borrow a pen?" I whisper to my friend beside me.

"Sure" he pulls out a blue pen from his black pencil case and hands it to me.

"Thanks you saved my life" I punch him lightly I the arm while laughing my obnoxious laugh.

"I'm pretty sure I saved your schooling life but other than that I'm cool" he laughs along with me.

"Thanks"

"No problem"

I return back to work on polishing up my work but that obviously failed. I feel like suing whoever came up with Math or School. I mean you spend more than half your life working. My minds made up, let's sue them.

After several minutes of trying to polish up my work, I try conversing with Molor but she hushes me up again for trying to disturb her focus. The lady has hushed me up so many times, like I get it, you want me to shut up, but I never will. I'm just that awesome.

"Hey, don't you work at Macy's?" I turn to Liam who is the only person that actually wants to talk to me in the class.

"Yep, I'm stationed at the cash out area"

"Me too"

"Are you working today?" He asks.

"Sure am" I reply "Weren't you the person with the red cap under the mess of dark brown hair?"

Too much detail Kate. I think to myself almost cringing in my mind.

"Yes I was that person" he smiles while writing down his notes "do you need a lift to work?"

"Yes please, my boyfriend has football practice"

"Nash Whitler?" He asks.

"Yep, he's my boyfriend"

"He's a good football player, good future ahead of him. Is he going to play professionally for college next year?"

"I'm not sure, what college are you going to next year?" I ask.

By now I was so intrigued in our conversation I stopped all the work I was doing.

He looks up at me for a second before answering "I'm thinking of going to Michigan state or Wayne State. I like Wayne state because it's right in Detroit-"

"Which is where we live, Detroit, Michigan" I cut him off shortly.

"Exactly" he continues "so it would make more sense to go to Wayne State university, since it's right close to home and I can still live here"

"Well, a few months ago Nash and I agreed on going to Wayne state. That would be so much fun if you came too"

"I know right, everything is much fun with me"

"Oh my gosh Liam" I laugh so loud "you're my spirit animal, give me a hi-five"

He gives it to me and we burst out in uncontrollable laughter.

"Excuse me, Miss Kate and Mr Liam be quite or I'll be forced to give you detention.....AGAIN" shouts Mr Junders.

"Sorry Mr Junders" we both say in unison before returning back to work.

After an intense hour of Trig it's time for the seniors free period. I finally get out of this death hole of a class room.

I sling my bag over my shoulder and scurry out of the classroom before Mr Junders sees me. I head to my locker and put my bag in. I only take my laptop out because I've got nothing to work on this free period.

I head down the hallway and outside the back door which leads to the field. Where our new group hangs out now. I wouldn't call it much of a new group, just adding new friends to it. The bell finally goes and in the first one out except for Heidi and Chris who are sitting under a tree at our usual spot.

"Hey guys" I say as I sat down cross legged on the grass.

"Hey" they both answer at the same time.

"Okay, you guys have to stop doing this twin telepathy thing"

"We're not doing anything" Heidi laughs "Any normal person would've said Hey"

"No" I disagree "Any normal person would've said Sup or Whassup"

"Are you sure you're normal Kate?" Chris pipes up.

"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure"

"You made no sense at all" They said together..AGAIN.

Twin telepathy people, I have no idea how they can't hear the thoughts inside of each other's heads.

"Whatever you say" I sigh in defeat.

Later on the rest of the gang join a in. I could obviously see Molor checking out Chris, and Mason and Lily had their occasional make out session. Heidi and Chelsea chatted off with each other while Nash and I talked about life.

So far so good.
