Jeremiah and I had basically hung out and studied together the rest of that week. Surprisingly we were getting along and he wasn't that much of a pain in the ass as I thought he was.

"Hey." Jeremiah says walking up to me at my locker. "Hey." I say and give a light smile. "So do you have any plans for spring break?" he asks me. "Uh no, besides getting my braces off." I answer.

"Hey J." I hear a girl say. I quickly turn and see it's Stephanie, the captain of the girls track team. "Hey Steph what's up girl." he says giving her a side hug. "Nothing much, just wanted to confirm if you're staying at the hotel or not so we can finalize how much it's going to be between everybody. "As of right now," Jeremiah says as I slam my locker closed. They both pause for a second and Stephanie gives me a weird look. "No." he finishes. "Okay well just let me know, even if it's last minute. We still have a month but want to plan ahead now!" she says and gives a smirk while looking him up and down. "I gotchu." he says. She finally walks away.

"Getting a hotel for spring break?" I ask. "Maybe, I don't know. It's a few guys from the team and a couple girls from track and some other people. I guess Steph is organizing the whole hotel situation." he explains. "You don't want to stay at the hotel? I would." I say trying to pry information out of him. "Yeah but all know what's gonna to be going down in those rooms and not really all for that, if you know what I mean." he says. "True." I agree. "Well I'll talk to ya later." he says giving me a fist bump. "Bye." I say and walk to my class.

"I had pizza yesterday for lunch." Amber says. "Okay well you know they only got two things on the menu, will you at least stand in line with me." I ask her. "Okay whatever, let's go." she says getting out of her seat. 

We walk over and stand in the lunch line as it slowly moves because our school population is over three thousand. "Hey do you know about Stephanie from the track team?" I ask her. "Yeah, the one that used to date Jonathan?" she asks. "Wait so they don't date anymore?" I asked surprised. "No...they broke up like right after winter break." she answers. "Oh, interesting." I say. "Why?" she starts to question. "Hi can I get the chicken sandwich please." I say to the lunch lady. "Erica." Amber says. "Here you are hun." she says handing me my food. We walk back to our table to sit down and see Darius. Darius is the guy Amber has been talking to for about two months. "Hey Darius!" I say trying to avoid the question still. "Er why are you worried about Steph for? What she do?" she asks. "Nothing, she just came up to Jeremiah and was asking him about staying at a hotel for spring break.." I answer. "Oh yeah, the juniors and seniors always stay at Long Beach for a couple days of spring break every year." Darius explains. "It's literally a whole hotel orgy spring break edition if that makes sense. Mixed with a little sand." he says. "Does Jeremiah talk about any girls or is talking to anyone?" Amber asks. "No, not that I know of. He's very chill and more focused on the sport and doesn't really hang out with that group of the team like that, even though they be trying to set him up with different girls." he answers. "Why?" he asks looking at me. "Oh no I-" I say and then take a bite of my sandwich not know how to answer him. 

I hear laughter coming from a table nearby and notice its Lucas and a bunch of other guys from the football team. One of them mimicking me chew and take bites of my food. "Why don't you skip a couple of meals!" another one yells to me. I swallow my food and then grab my bag and get up. "Where are you going?" Amber asks. "Home." I say with a attitude.

I quickly leave the lunch room and head across campus to the student parking lot and speed home with tears coming out my eyes.
