Kiara dropped off Pope and JJ before heading to figure eight. Brenna was still in the back seat, watching the city fly by the window, still covered in dirt and who knows what else.

Both girls got out of the car as Kiara parked in her driveway. Brenna started to walk away before Kiara spoke up.

"Hey, thanks for doing that today," her eyes on her fiddling hands.

"It's for John B," Brenna shrugged.

"Mhm yeah, John B," Kiara nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Brenna smiled before exiting the fence of Kiara's house and walking over to her own house to shower off the sewer smell.

The next day Brenna was awaken by Freddie knocking on her bedroom door again.

"I'm up!" Brenna shouted before dragging her self out of bed to get ready.

She threw her hair into a ponytail, threw on a black maxi skirt decorated with little flowers and a white crop top, probably the one from the other day, she couldn't tell, before sliding on her shoes and layering on her jewelry and heading to school.

"Hey! You want a ride?" Kiara shouted from the drivers seat of her car as Brenna walked her bike down the driveway.

"You sure?"

"Get in!" Kiara smiled. Brenna left her bike by the fence and hopped in Kiara's car.

Kiara glanced over at Brenna as she hopped into the passenger seat. She wanted to just lean over and kiss her but they weren't a thing any more.

Brenna watched Kiara drive towards the cut to pick up the boys, her hair blowing from the open windows, she couldn't help but smile, she missed this, just the two of them and the world.

"Good morning, boys," Brenna smiled at the two boys, as a half sleep JJ and very awake Pope slid into the back seat.

"Good morning," Pope smiled at her as Kiara drove off.

A small knock rang through the room as they all focused on the tests in their hands.

"Mr. Sunn, can I borrow Pope for a minute?" a very nicely dressed man asked.

"We're in the middle of a test right now," Mr. Sunn responded, quietly.

Brenna and JJ looked at each other, confused.

"Mr. Heyward, its for you," Mr. Sunn called for Pope, his three friends watching him leave the room.

A couple minutes later Pope rushed into the room, making everyone look up at him, he slid back into his seat beside Brenna and in front of Kiara.

"What was that?" Kiara whispered, Pope held up a gold envelope.

Brenna raised her brow still waiting for an explanation as she looked at the envelope closer, "Is that the wheat symbol?"

"Yeah," Pope nodded.

"What the f-," JJ raised his voice, Brenna turning around and glaring at him, their teacher doing the same, "Fu..fu...fudge?"
