"hey Tatum?" I hear Kodi say from behind me. I turn to him with a small ghost of a smile making its way to my face.

"wasup?" i ask him trying to be funny.

He chuckles slightly and slings his arm around me. My eyebrows crease in confusion but i quickly ignore it trying not to read too much into anything.

"so i was thinking" he says

"that's scary" i joke

"hahaha" he muses with little humor.

"so, what do you need?" i ask

"so Robin, Andrew, Asher, Stacy and I are all going to the South Brooke diner about 3 miles from here after school to get milkshakes and stuff. Do you want to come with? Andrew and Asher are going in one car, Stacy and Robin in another. Lastly, if you agree to go you'll be riding with me. Asher's sister might come because she has a weird and unhealthy obsession with me but it'll be fine just ignore her and you will be okay" he says and i think about it for a second.

~go, you need to start making friends, remember the promise you made me~ Ciara says in my head

~okay Cece okay~ I say back to her.

"alright I'm in" I say making my way to history.

"good, i'll meet you after class" he says

"wait, aren't you in this class?" I ask

"eh, I've heard it all before" he says and i laugh

"okay, hotshot i'll see you then"

"bye" he says walking backwards and then turning around and leaving the hallway.

"Okay, now that everyone is here we can get started" Mr. Armstrong says.

I look at the rows of people and stop when I see Stacy arguing with a another girl. She has unruly curly hair, freckles all over her face, and light skin. her eyes are an ugly hazel...no offense and she's got braces with lime green around them with rubber bands.

"hey, what's going on Stacy?" I ask warily glancing at the unknown girl.

"Meaghan wants me to invite her to the diner and she wants to ride with Kodi" she says with an eye roll.

"yeah, and I'm gonna get it too. Or i would if this bitch would invite me. I don't want to seem desperate so i need an invite. I need to spend more time with Kodi if we're gonna be married with 3 kids" she says and i snort

"OMG, i didn't even see you there hi its nice to meet you i'm Meaghan. That's spelled M-E-A-G-H-A-N it's Irish like my ancestors. And I'm related to Pocahontas, it's proven through all kinds of records and my daddy has a bunch of mattress stores. Do you know Sleep Away Mattress store? Well that's us...cool right? My daddy gave Mearheart its mattresses. It's what you sleep on. But it's nice to meet you" wow she's a name dropper...and related to Pocahontas I don't think so. She's probably got some old blood from England there is no way she is part Indian, not with that hair.
~If she says my daddy one more time I'm going to throw my shoe at her~ I think to myself. Once she finishes she out stretches her hand to me. I look at it like its a foreign object and back at her.

"its not doing anything" i say to her making Stacy snicker and Meaghan glare at her.

"no, silly its a hand shake" she says

"no offense, Mega-han I'm not really a handshake type of person" I say

"wow, no need to be rude. And it's pronounced Megan like the normal spelling" she says

"Yeah I'm not saying that" I counter

"You're such a bitch what did I do to you?" She asks

"well, for one you called Stacy a bitch and she's my friend I don't like it when people are mean to my friends. Two, where did you get married to Kodi with 3 kids from going to a diner for milkshakes? and lastly, if Kodi wanted you there he would've invited you but he didn't so get over it and move on" i say and she huffs and starts to walk away "and one more thing... you mess with Stacy you mess with me and I can assure you I am someone you do not want to cross are we clear?" i ask and she fearfully shakes her head and goes to sit down.

~that's right bitch, abort your mission and go sit down you weird obsessed fangirl~ i think to myself...

~was that harsh?~ i think again...~nah~

Tae...you've got to stop having conversations with yourself. Here I go continuing to talk to myself. "So, about the diner...is it something normal you all normally do?" I ask her.

"I mean yeah, we've always had a tight knit group ever since my fling with Robin" I give her a pointed look "moment of weakness, it doesn't matter because his dad and his aunt both basically called me a gold digging whore and he sat there and did nothing. He didn't defend me, his 14 year old sister did. He's an ass with no backbone, he can't stand up to his daddy so I decided that it would be best that we not see each other anymore. He tried to talk me out of it and when I said I couldn't he agreed and we never went on a date again."

"Well can I offer my opinion?" i ask

"Yeah sure"

"I think to you, it does matter because you wouldn't be this upset if it truly didn't matter" I say oh dear I sound like my therapist.

"Damn, your good" she says

"Years of therapy, but damn that still sucks" I say

"yeah it does because I-" she stops and takes a breath "I really liked him"

"yeah, do you ever think you could give him a second chance?" I ask looking into her eyes I see sadness and longing.

"no, not if he can't defend me to his parents, I'm not a gold digger but he sure as hell made me feel like one. I can't be with someone who doesn't stand up for someone he's supposed to be 'dating' I just, I don't know i guess if he was willing to fight for me i i guess we could try but if not then i can't" she says and i nod.

"what was that?" I ask

"what was what?" she retorts

"the quotation fingers on dating" i say

"ohh well we were together for about 3 months before i met his parents and then we argued for a month before i called it off we never talked about the labels so I'm not giving it any."

"I-" i start to say but am cut off by the bell.

"alright, lets go" i say

"Ms. Jones?" I hear Mr. Armstrong say from behind me.

"Yes, Mr. Armstrong?" I ask

"I'll let you off with a warning this time. But, next time i see you talking in class instead of listening to my lesson i will not hesitate to give you detention" Mr. Armstrong chides.

"Yes sir Mr. Armstrong sir" I say using a mock salute and he lets out a chuckle.

"yeah, okay now get out of my classroom" he says motioning to the door with his elbow.

Once we leave the classroom I turn to Stacy. "Did you see that or was it just me?" I ask her.

"Oh yeah I saw it, he completely singled you out number one and he kinda I don't know he doesn't really treat you like a student. And the way he threatened to send you to detention he almost made it sound..." she insinuates and i shiver.

"yeah i know its been like that ever since i got here. i have no idea what his problem is but its starting to make me uncomfortable" i say still feeling uneasy.

"yeah, i understand why...anyway enough about creepy teacher let's finish today and go get milkshakes" she says and i nod.

The rest of the day is smooth sailing...luckily Stacy and i have all of the same classes due to the fact that she's my SCIT. At the end of the day we all agreed to meet in the parking lot.

I walk over to the black bugatti and i think i'm gonna cry.

"so you like my car?"

"do i like your car? its a Bugatti la Voiture Moire that is sold for roughly 19 million" i say and Kodi raises his eyebrows.

"yes i like your car"

"can i tell you a secret?" i ask him and he nods.

I look over my shoulder at Stacy and Robin. Robin is staring at her while she's staring at the car and typing on her phone. The way he looks at her is the way she looks at him. With adoration and longing. Okay new goal get them together.

"what?" he asks looking at them.

"I ship Sobin" I say with a smile.
