I'm at home. I'm also suspended from school for a day.

Shane is such an idiot. Bullying October. Who could do such a thing?

I want to kill him.

I should kill him.

No.

That would upset her.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard a ding on my phone.

-ROOBBBBBB!!! Hurry up and get here !

I knew the text was from October before I even looked at my phone.

Can't. I'm doing homework-

-I don't care about yr stupid homework!

-someones at my door and I'm home alone. IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH TOO!

Paranoid little October, oh what you'll do without me?

I'll be ovr in a bit, start making the popcorn-

I grinned and shoved my phone in my pocket.

"MUM! OCTOBER NEEDS HELP WITH SCHOOL! I'M LEAVING!", I yelled out, Mum would understand, she'll let me do anything to make me seem like a good person.

************

There was nobody at her door when I got there.

I knew she was just paranoid.

I more banged the door than knocked

"Octooobeerr, jason's gonna get ya!",

I tried to mock jason's voice

"Robert, shut up. I know Jason's not real",

She gave me one of her rare grins

"Oh I know, just teasing",

"Ha! Come in".

As I walked in I more breathed out than laughed, she actually made the popcorn.

"Hey Rob", October started

I hummed in response

"Did you hear what Tristion did the other day?",

Tristion? Who's Tristion?

"Well he wants to go for head boy",

"Cool", I shoved my hand into the popcorn

"Not cool, you have to be head boy",

"Me?",

"You",

I considered her request

"Nah", I grabbed another handful of popcorn

"You have to, so you can prove to the world that people with issues can accomplish something", she snatched the bowl of popcorn off me,

"Then why don't you go for he-", suddenly there was a big bang, it startled us both

"What was that?", October asked before I could

"Cat?", I guessed

"Cat. yes. A cat. Not a bloody serial killer",

"Come on October, New Zealand is probably one of the safest countries",

That I thought was true.

"Ok, it probably is just a cat",

"Yes. a clueless cat",

Now we agree on one thing.

"Now what were we talking about", she asked

"Uh- homework".
