"So, what made you of all people finally decided to walk to school with us today?"Rosa asked JoJo as soon as I looked up from my phone from what I was doing at them. I was practically zoned out of their conversation, since I was texting Rashad the whole time that we've been walking seeing if he made it to school yet.

"Yeah, you never walk with us"Juliana turned to JoJo as She adjusted her strap's on her book bag twisting her lip's,"And we're your friend's."The four of us walked up to the school.

"Yeah, you usually ride with Romeo"I pointed out and I gave her a concerned look putting my phone in my pocket after I read Rashad's text telling me that he made it to school,"Is everything okay? Are you guy's okay?"She looked like she had been crying and It concerned me. She just didn't seem like herself if I'm gonna even be honest. She was dressed in baggy clothes and her mood was glum.

JoJo gave us all a small smile,"Yeah, everything's fine, I didn't really feel like riding with him today."She held onto the straps of her book bag as we stood there waiting. I knew that she wasn't fine, Based on how she was acting it was obvious.

I heard laughing and I knew that it was Romeo's laugh, As soon as I looked up, I saw that Derek was with him. I also noticed that Derek's girlfriend was with them, Her name was Nikki or something. Her and Santana's cousin got mixed up sometimes but it was honestly rare. Nikki is actually Derek girlfriend name, Nikki is a nickname that the squad use for Nicole.

I've actually seen Nikki with Aaliyah since they're friend's and I've also seen her around school. I've never really had the gut's to even approach her, She was intimidating if I'm even gonna be honest. Her and Her whole group of friends were.

She was really beautiful, but She was one of those beautiful mean girl's though. Not that I am judging her or anything, I never talked to her so I shouldn't assume, but that's how everyone portrays her to be.

I saw Derek with his arm around her as her friend's walked with them, and Romeo was with them talking to some other girl that I have never seen at all before. She must've been new or something, I furrowed my brows as I watched them about to walk past. The girl was all smiles and it looked like she was flirting.

Romeo was smiling back, I couldn't tell if He was flirting it back, Or just being nice. I turned to look at JoJo and She was clearly waiting on him to look at her. He didn't look at her at all, He just kept walking off with the girl to the school.

Derek looked at us since all of us were staring. He was giving JoJo a rude look and sucked his teeth at her whole presence. He didn't look at any of us clearly meaning that his problem was with her.
