"You're happy today" My brother noted while he drove us to school.

My change of mood was clear just for the fact that I said good morning to everyone with a big grin on my face, and then because I turned up the volume of the song on the radio and hummed along with it. I had a lot of reasons to be upset, but I chose to focus in what made me happy. That means, I chose to focus in what happened yesterday night.

"I told you that you just had to wait until my bad phase fades away" It wasn't entirely true, but that was all the explanation Jonathan was going to get.

"Are you... bipolar?" He arched an eyebrow, and seemed insure about asking me that.

In his eyes, I actually seemed bipolar. One hour I was fine, and the other I was breaking down. I totally understood why he thought that, but there was another option: I hide what happened in my life from my brother, and that was the right option. Once I told a member of my family the truth, everything could fall apart. So, I decided I wouldn't tell anyone so soon.

"No" I chuckled "I'm not bipolar"

"Okay..." He seemed not to believe me.

I rolled my eyes, but didn't discuss with him any longer while we continued our way to school. Today was Friday, and he reminded me all the drive we were going out with our friends tonight to some club so we could drink and dance. I wasn't drinking, but I knew Kaden was going to the club too, so I didn't complain about it.

When we arrived, I was about to walk into school when someone yanked my arm and made me almost fall off of the stairs from the front of the building. I sent a glare to Will's direction, who was smiling like a lunatic to me.

"What?" I asked when realized he wasn't saying anything.

"Good morning to you too" He said sarcastically "I want you to fill me up on your romance. You ran away from my house yesterday. I need some updates, which I'm pretty sure you have"

I knew Will knew about me and Kaden, but I didn't feel comfortable talking about it with him when Kaden wasn't out to anyone yet, and I didn't know if he would be okay with me talking about this with my best friend.

"I'm fine" It's what I settled for saying.

"Does that mean you two are back together?" His eyes sparkled with hope.

"That means I'm fine" I arched my brows, signalizing I didn't want to talk about this any longer.

"Boring" He rolled his eyes "Whatever, I'm going to figure it out anyways. You two are so obvious; I'm clearly the only smart person in our group"

"Excuse me?!" I crossed my arms over my chest and cleared my throat.

"What?" He frowned "You're pretty dumb too"

I snorted at this. I wasn't dumb. Sometimes I was a little stupid and made questionable choices, like getting drunk to forget my problems, but I wouldn't consider myself dumb. My grades were all great and I didn't even study!

Ignoring Will, I went to my first class, feeling the energy to pay attention for the first time in two weeks.

"You must have one" Kaden was sitting on my bed, with his legs crossed while he leaned forward. He should be doing his homework, which was in front of him, but instead he was just watching me while I searched something to wear to the Halloween' party we were going that night.

I had invited Kaden over when Jonathan told me he was going out to meet with some girl he was into. He told me her name, but I didn't memorize it. Nancy, maybe? Or is it Cindy...?
