were paired
up on. I’m putting my bag over my shoulder when I feel a slight tug
on my back pack when I look back, I see that Aurora has slid
between Ryan and I, “I’m so happy to see you Rori! I’ve missed
you!” I squeal throwing my arms around my best friend.
    “ I’ve missed you too! Two
weeks seem like forever!”
    “ How is your
gram?”
    “ Well she got to go home,
after a week in the hospital where they pumped her full of
antibiotics for pneumonia, which is much better. So they let her go
home a few days ago.”
    “ I’m so glad to hear that.
When did you get home and why didn’t you call me?”
    “ Well it was after eleven
when I got home, I was pretty sure that you were
asleep.”
    “ I actually wasn’t but I’ll
let it slide this once.” I feel another tug on my backpack, Rori
has a sly grin on her face. I turning to look at who pulled at my
bag, I’m shocked to see Liam with a little grin on his
face.
    “ Hey Liam, How’s your day
going?”
    “ Good I saw you two in here
on my way to lunch, thought I would come and say hi. What do you
two say you, want to join me for lunch?”
    Rori and I both say “Sure” at the same
time. With that we turn to head over to the cafeteria, when I walk
in I see Ryan sitting at a table, scowling when he sees Liam walk
in on right behind me, his scowl deepens as Liam put his hand on my
lower back leading me away from Ryan. Liam gets his lunch and sense
Rori and I bring our own. We decide to take a table outside in the
nice warm sun. Lunch is almost over when I catch a movement on the
side of the school, turning to look I see two of Ryan’s fighter
buddies talking as if they are waiting for something to happen.
Just as I start to scan the courtyard for Ryan, Liam snaps his
fingers in front of my face trying to grab my attention.
    “ What Liam?”
    “ Where did you go
Gracie?”
    “ Nowhere. I’m going to throw
away my trash, want me to throw anything away for you?” Rori hands
me her little brown bag of trash while Liam just watches me and
shakes his head no. Walking to the trash can that happens to be
next to Ryan’s friends, when Ryan comes out of nowhere and cuts me
off “Where are you going Gracie?” as I lift the two bags that are
trash in front of his face. He cocks a brow at me and steps away
from me allowing me to pass just as Beni and Richie step forward
with a sigh I stop turning to look at Ryan “What do you want Ryan?”
he just looks at me never saying anything so finally Beni steps
forward, “Gracie you shouldn’t be hanging out with Liam, he’s
trouble. It’s not safe.” This causes me to laugh, causing them to
scowl. I’m finally able to get ahold of myself and just look at
him.
    “ Really Ryan? You want to
tell me, who’s good and who’s bad for me to hang out with? Maybe
you should take a look in the mirror and stop coming over and
talking to me. I know you do shady shit, so what makes your shady
any different than anyone else? What makes you special?” With that
I throw the trash away and turn around and walk away.
    I hear Rori and Liam say something as I
grab my bag, but I keep walking and head to my locker. I don’t have
a book for Econ, so I just grab a new notebook and head to class
with Mrs. Cooper. I pay no attention to who’s around me, I just go
to class, I don’t pay attention to who’s in this class or what’s
going on in class and before I know it the bell rings. Next I have
P.E. so I don’t even bother going to my locker just head to the
locker rooms.
    When I get there Rori’s there. I’m
excited that we finally have a class together
    “ Hey Rori.”
    “ Hey what happened
earlier?”
    “ Nothing, just Ryan being an
over baring ass hat.”
    “ Did you bring your gym
clothes?”
    “ No, I forgot.”
    “ Well you’re in luck I
grabbed two shorts and two shirts.”
    “ Ha, leave it to you to
bring double.”
    “ Well I knew you would
forget.”
    “ Whatever! You always do
this! You’re almost
