more poised, then leaned back into her chair, pulling her hair over to one side and looked at Avery.
    “Well, do you want to?”
    “Ya… if it doesn’t rain.”
    “I hope not.” Avery took a bite of her food.
    Aira looked back over at Israel, her attention pulled to him like a magnet.
    Joshua walked in and Avery became aware of him right away. She watched him diligently as he grabbed some food and walked over to where Israel was.
    Israel lifted his head and offered him a chair to sit down. They had a few classes together and seemed to click, which is good because Joshua could never relate to Jaidas and his friends, or anyone really. He couldn’t seem to fit in anywhere. Jaidas and his friends irritated Joshua, and talking with the smart kids about the science fair for half a year before it would even arrive was completely out of the question. It was about time Joshua found a friend.
    “He’s never gonna talk to me, is he?” Avery looked back at Aira frustrated.
    “Why don’t you just ask him to do something?”
    “Are you kidding me?” Avery answered like that was a far-fetched thing to say.
    Aira laughed. “Avery… it’s been six years.”
    “Exactly, and I can count on both my hands how many conversations I’ve had with him, if you could even call them that.”
    “I’ve seen you try and talk to him, and he looks really happy when you do. You’re the one who gets awkward and ends the conversation, he’s just shy.”
    “That’s ridiculous,” Avery scoffed.
    “You’re ridiculous… and awkward.” Aira gave her a light smile.
    “Speak for yourself.” She smiled back at Aira, then let out a small laugh and continued to eat her lunch.
    Aira looked back only long enough to see Israel look over at her and notice she was looking. He started to talk to Joshua and must have said something to him because Joshua looked over at them.
    Aira quickly turned her head.
    The day went on. P.E. was her last class.
    Finally the bell rang and she walked to her locker. As she started to open the lock, she could hear Avery coming up behind her talking about Joshua.
    “Is it me? Is there something wrong with me or is he just completely clueless?” Avery instantly stopped talking when she seen Joshua walking with Israel towards them. They just finished biology. Avery was also in their class.
    Aira looked to see why she had stopped talking and saw Israel. Aira froze just like Avery and they both just stood there.
    “Confidence,” Israel nodded to Joshua, steering off in another direction.
    “Ya, man,” Joshua laughed, “I’ll see ya later.” Israel walked the other way and out of the school.
    Joshua walked towards Aira and Avery.
    “Hi, Josh,” Avery smiled.
    “Hi, Avery,” Joshua smiled and he walked past them.
    “Ahhh, I give up.” Avery groaned with frustration.
    Joshua stopped, and he turned around.
    “Hey, Avery!” he shouted.
    Avery, with her back towards him, looked at Aira with widened eyes, then slowly turned around and looked at him.
    “Can I give you a ride home?” Joshua smiled at her.
    Avery turned back and looked at Aira. “Is he being serious?”
    “Go!” Aira said, pushing her a bit.
    Avery turned and walked towards Joshua as if she had been waiting for this since elementary school. She looked back at Aira one more time, smiled, and walked out with Joshua.
    Aira smiled, happy for her.
    Grabbing some books out of her locker she started putting them into her bag and Jaidas walked up and leaned against Avery’s locker.
    “You should come watch us play hockey tonight.” Aira paused for a second, then continued putting things in her bag and shut her locker.
    “I’d love to… but my mom and Barry want me to help do some cleaning outside or something, and I got a ton of homework.” There was an awkward silence.
    “Okay,” he answered blankly. When Jaidas tried to sound disappointed, the emptiness in his voice was a sure sign of recurring patterns. She could feel it. “I’ll text
