* Annabella and Julian *
It's officially two months, not much has changed thankfully I still need time to figure everything out. I've been thinking and I've decided I need to get a job. I need to be prepared if my parents say no and kick me out, I need to have some money to stabilize myself and these babies. today's Friday thank goodness I just have to survive one more day. I get out of bed, get dressed eat breakfast and wait for Anisa to pick me up in the driveway.
....
"So how do you feel?" Anisa asked keeping her eyes on the road.
"I feel fine, if I ever feel wrong I'll tell you." I respond
"So jasmin told me you're becoming close with that new kid, Nick right?"
"Don't worry about him, we have three classes together and we don't talk outside of class it's like we don't even know each other. he's hanging out with the cool kids and being all bad and junk while I'm over here hiding from the world."
"So did you finish your project on the beer?"
"Yea on Monday we presented, Now Mr. W is just putting the grades in the gradebook."
"That's good."
"Yea where's Annabelle?" Usually Annabelle always rides with us to school.
"She's..... Been distracted with boys. she won't listen to anything I say and Julian,the guy on the basketball team is using her but she won't listen. she keeps crawling back to him and it's impossible to protect her when she keeps on pushing me away."

My phone vibrates and I unlock the screen to go on Instagram.

"Speaking of the devil." I show Anisa a picture that Annabelle and Julian just posted. She rolls her eyes and doesn't say anything else the whole car trip to school.

..........

I walk into math class and sit in my regular seat besides the window, everyone starts to find a seat and I stare out the window. A gentle hand touches my shoulder.

"Hey" Nick says sitting in the seat next to me. I smile and look around the class, seriously there are other sits I look back at him and he hides a frown.

"Sorry about that."

"Nah its cool, I'll just move." He gets up and I grab his hand. When he turns back around he looks at me shocked and smirks. I quickly remove my hand and hide my face so he won't see me blushing, he sits back down and cubs my face in his hands. "Its ok." he smiles and I laugh, he lets go of my face and the bell rings telling everyone class has started.

I try not to look at Nick the whole time during class but he doesn't mind looking at me. The only person I know in this class is Nick but staring at him.... staring at boys in general... I don't do that.

Once class ends I collect my stuff and start heading out the door. Nick catches up to my pace and walks next to me.

"You do realize OUR next class is art." he laughs reveling his shining white teeth and adorable dimples. I nod and enter the art room taking a seat. Dwayne and Chanel aren't here which leaves me here by myself with Nick.

"Daniella you're a tutor right?" he asks looking at me while I get out my pencil.

"Yea but I've been busy so I haven't been tutoring anyone."

"Look I need some help preparing for the test in math tomorrow and I would really appreciate it if you helped me." he smiles

"I don't know if I have time....." I stop and look at his face, his smile turning upside down into a frown. i can't resist, "I'll get your number at the end of class and I'll call you today so you can come over." He laughs and runs his fingers through his wavy hair. Chanel and Dwayne enter the class exactly when the bell rings and take their seats.

"Alright class, talk quietly while I take attendance and grade your assignments." Mr. W announced while staring at the computer. Chanel and I got the best grades in the class and everyone was very impressed by how deep our objects means to us. Mine was the best overall because I took a can of beer and gave it a whole new meaning.
