As I walk towards the basketball court I'm ambushed by Quinn who jumps on my back. "WHOOP WHHOOPP WASSUP DIP SHIT!!" she smacks my head, I grab her shirt and flip her to the floor. We may have dabbled In karate for a couple of years when we were little.

She flips me off as I help her up, "so your girlfriend already ditch you?" I ask, she dust's off her pants "nah I left her with her friends so she can catch up with them." she has a bit of an annoyed look on but shakes it off, " Anyways, we gonna go play basketball or what?" She points to the court and runs, I smile as I follow after her.

Finally, I get up out of my seat and book it to the door. It's good to be back in school but damn classes suck ass. not to mention Craig wasn't in that class so I couldn't even talk to him. I head over to his classroom to meet up and go to lunch, I see him waiting by the door. I head over and tip toe to pay his head "Oi Craigy how's it going?"

I give him a wide smile, he gives me a little smirk " good how about you?" He asks while grabbing my bag, he likes to carry it for me even though I always tell him it's fine. We head to the cafeteria together and look for the girls, I spot Quinn with Z and head towards them. "Heya girls where's miss cheer?" Quinn makes an annoyed pout "She's with her friends, she said she'll be eating with em today if it's ok with me, and of course it is, WHY WOULDN'T IT BE!??" Z shoves some peaches in Quinns mouth,
"calm it girl." She looks at me and makes a face (😬) I clear my Throat and sit next to her.

"Hey don't worry sis, it's only the first day she just wants to catch up with her friends. You guys have all the time in the world to hang out." I rub her shoulder to attempt to soothe her. "Yeah I guess you're right, never thought I'd say that." I laugh and give her a soft punch, " You asshole, come here." I bring her into a hug and pat her head.

We continue to eat and talk about our classes, apperantly Z has found a new friend which is good cause from what I heard she didn't have many before us. I go to take a bite of my burger when all of a sudden someone pops a chip bag, I flinch and bite my tongue hard. "FUG!!" My voice is muffled.

"Hey you good?" asks Quinn, I nod and hold my mouth. Actually it really hurts but I'm not gonna tell her that, I can feel my eyes water when Craig grabs my arm. "nurse." He pulls me with him towards the nurses office. "dude I'm thine, leth thus go back." He doesn't listen he just keeps walking.

When we get to the nurse she stares at me and smiles "what can I do for y'all?" Craig pulls me forward and sits me down, "he bit his tongue." I groan and roll my eyes "I'm fine mith, I promith. Just give me thum ith." She giggles at me and pull out ice from the freezer, "here you can keep this on your tongue until lunch is over." She goes back to her phone.

Craig stares at me, it makes me uncomfortable. I just stare at my feet, when I look up at Craig he looks away. As If I didn't notice he was staring in the first place. "I'm gonna go." he says and stands up, but without knowing it I grab his hand. He looks at me confused, he raises his eyebrow. "Ah thorry!" I pull my hand back and look away.

He walks off, my face feel red and hot. My head spins and I feel sweaty, what's wrong with me?
