"is that el?"

"the freak?"

"dude are you blind?"

"no, look!"

"holy shit."

"i already said i didn't need you to drive me. now you're drawing attention, you dummy." el mumbles to kai as she grabs her stuff.

"what? have they never seen a lambo before?" he chuckles as she groans.

"tell mads i said good morning, alright. i'm late, i need to good." she says, holding onto her bag and fixes her top.

"alright janey. and wear a jacket, your boobs are popping out."

"says the guy who made me wear a v-neck dress to a ball. this doesn't even show that much."she points out as he rolls his eyes.

"those girls are staring at you. along with those boys." he nods his head at them and pulls off his sunglasses.

"everyday, i know. they're high school bullies or whatever. it's fine, i really have to go-"

"i'm going in with you then." he says.

"what? why?" she asks.

"show them who's boss. literally." he says, parking the car and exiting it. "come on, janey."

"no. what's wrong with you? i'm not showing my ugly-"

he pulls her closer, "come on, don't you want to show off a little and show them who's boss."

"i mean, it's kinda tempting but i'm not that type of person. besides, mike is waiting for me at my lockers."

"perfect, i can give him the talk." he pulls her along the path as she gasps.

"we're not even dating! don't do the talk." she says.

"yeah yeah." he rolls his eyes and grabs her stuff, "let me help you with that."

"wow, such a gentleman. where was this guy in our childhood?" she asks sarcastically as he laughs.

he then throws a glare towards stacy and troy's group once they're walking past.

"kai. here's the entrance.... that i will walk through... that you won't." she then looks up.

"what? why?" kai whines, "babe, come on."

"do you call everyone babe now?" she crosses her arms.

"no, only my best girls." he grins as she rolls her eyes, walking into the school.

she makes her way to her locker, him still following behind, "mike!"

"hey el." he hugs her as she smiles widely, "hi!" she giggles against him.

"and uh, hi kai." he nods at him.
