     "WEIRDO," Noah whispers to herself as she sees another person eyeing her in the hallway.

Everyone has been giving her strange glares and weird smiles.  She has no idea what is going on and why suddenly so many people have an interest in her.  Nonetheless, she continues on with her day.

"Dude!" Liv exclaims as she walks up to Noah, "You'll never guess what happened."

"What'd you get in trouble for now?" Noah asks with a giggle.

"Mrs. Henson was all over my ass about missing my homework for the third time and she called me out in front of the whole class!  And you know she just has the most punchable face—"

"Did you punch Mrs. Henson?!" Noah exclaims.

"Of course not," Liv tuts, "But I did tell her that if she's so concerned about my homework then she should do it for me."

"You're unbelievable," Noah chuckles and opens the door that leads to the football field.

"I think you'd be shocked to hear that she didn't take that very well," Liv giggles as they make their walk to the bleachers.

"Really?  I figured she would've gotten straight to work on your homework." Noah plays along with Liv's joke.

"Yeah, so did I," Liv says.

"Wait for me!" A voice yells behind the two girls.

Noah and Liv turn around to find Jess running towards them.  The three girls falls into a group hug, almost toppling over from Jess' fast pace.

"You think the boys will come today?" Jess asks the two.

"No clue," Liv shrugs.

Parker, Ronan, and Tate have not come to lunch since Friday. The girls have not even gotten a text from any of them. They see them around school, but the boys seem to be avoiding them by hanging out with their football friends.

"Do you think something happened?" Jess asks as they sit down on the bleachers.

"If something did, I'm gonna let them work it out," Liv says, "The last thing I need is to get in-between their bro fights."

Noah and Jess giggle at the comment. Noah knows her and Parker are not on the best terms, but nothing happened between her, Ronan, and Tate. She decides to hope for the best and pray they did not choose sides.

"I suppose I'm happy we finally get some alone time with the three of us," Jess offers a bit of optimism.

"Yeah, we should do something this weekend," Liv offers.

"The movies?" Noah suggests.

"You read my mind," Liv beams.

"There's this new rom-com—"

"Jess, look who you're talking to, Noah and I are the last two people you wanna take to a rom-com." Liv giggles and sees Jess playfully roll her eyes.

"That's because you two have no interest in romance," Jess states.

"Uhm, excuse me, I beg to differ," Noah debates with a grin.

"Yeah, Noah has great interest in making every boy fall for her but never do anything about it." Liv adds with a smirk.
