The bell rang. I can't believe that I have to make a sculpture or drawing with Madison. I went to my locker to put my things away and head to lunch. I looked around to see if any teachers were near. I took out my phone and texted Mikey.

"Hey where you at?" 

"Still in gym I'll be there in a little bit" Mikey replied. I stood at my locker for a little while. I went through my schedule again to see which class is next. Drama. I wouldn't say that it's my worst class next to art but it's fun at times.

"Mikayla!" I heard someone scream across the hall. I turned and saw Mikey jogging his way towards me. "Ready to go?" I nodded my head and started walking.

Mikey and I both paid for our lunches and went to a table way across the cafeteria. I put my tray down and sat down.

"So how annoyed are you in class right now?" Mikey asked.

"I'm not really annoyed but I am kinda." I said.

"What happened now?"

"First I was late to English. Now I have to make a sculpture or a drawing with he who shall not be named."

"You're kidding right?"

"Nope." It stayed quiet for a little while until I broke the silence. "So what time are we going to Brooklyn on Saturday?" Mikey didn't answer. I turned around to see how filled the cafeteria was and I saw Madison coming in our direction.

"Hey guys!" Madison said. "Is it alright if I sit here?" Mikey and I didn't answer. I moved over. "Thanks." Again Mikey and I stayed quiet. "So uh Mikayla do you have any ideas on what you wanna do for the art project?"

Finally I spoke. "I think we could do a drawing. Sculptures take too much money to make."

"Good point. Now what do you want the drawing to be?"

"I don't know."

"How about we meet up today after school and try to work something out?"

"Sure."

"Alright I gotta go before I'm late. Later guys." Madison walked out of the cafeteria.

"What are you thinking?!" Mikey said.

"What? We have to work on an art project sooner or later."

"But still, you act like nothing happened."

"I'm just being nice okay."

"Fine."

~End of the day~

I put my stuff away in  my locker and waited for Mikey. I felt sore so I started to walk home, alone. I still don't know my way around so I'm sure I'll get lost. I went through my pockets to see if I had some money left over from lunch. Only $2 left. I decided to call my aunt.

"Hey sweetie. Are you out of school yet?" my aunt said.

"Yeah I just feel really sore right now and can you come pick me up?" I asked.

"Sure you're at the school right?"

"Uh I kinda walked off and got lost."

"Usual Mikayla. Okay what street are you on?"

"Wilson I think."

"How did you end up there? You're all the way across town."

"I don't know I just walked and ended up here."

"Okay so where exactly?"

"I'm near ICON."

She hung up. I sat down at a near bench. I looked around to see if my aunt is anywhere near. Nothing.

"Mikayla!" I heard someone scream far away. I looked around to see who it was. "Hey." Madison said.

"Hey." I said.

"I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Listen I thought of some ideas for the drawing. We can make this mix of some drawings I drew and draw them on a poster." Madison handed me a sketchbook.

"You drew these?" I said as I flipped through a few pages.

"Yeah. I needed something to do while I'm bored." I turned a few more pages and saw a drawing of Madison and I. Together. Hugging. Smiling. I saw a picture taped on the other side. Nearly identical. "I drew that after I found out that you left. So uh what are you doing here all alone?"

"I was going home and I got lost." I said and chuckled a bit.

"When don't you get lost?"

"I don't know."

"What about you? Are you stalking me or something?"

"Yeah right. I was on my way to ICON."

"Did you get in trouble with GEO again?"

"No. I just needed to review a routine. Okay I gotta go I'll see you later." Madison said. I expected him to just walk away. Well wasn't I wrong.
