A/N,
Have any of you seen that video on Jeremy's girlfriends insta where he scares her by barking at her? That made my freaking day. I'm still laughing.

Health flew by, we pretty much just sat there while she explained why so many people commit suicide.

I'm pretty sure I already know why but, okay.

As we walked out, Neil grabbed my hand. I jumped and looked at him funny. "W-what are you doing?" I asked.

"Oh.. uh, nothing," he said, slipping his hand out of mine. I blushed and wiped my sweaty hand on my jeans. I got my social studies binder and walked in.

Kevin was already there, sitting there while someone yelled in his face. Kevin had a blank expression.

"You're fucking gay! I saw you holding hands with that Josh kid once," the guy said loudly.

Kevin patted his pockets and looked around, as if looking for something. His face lit up and he pulled up his middle finger. I smirked and sat down. The guy rolled his eyes and walked off. "I'm not done with you Skaff, everyone's gonna know you're gay by the end of the day."

"Are you gay?" I asked. Kevin looked at me, pondering on the question.

"I don't really know.." Kevin finally said, sighing. "I don't think so." He stared at me for a long second. "Maybe, I don't know." He sighed, frustrated.

"Look, whatever man, you have a while to figure it out anyway," I said softly. He nodded. I was trying to be friends with Jeremy's friends incase they're around a lot. The tardy bell rang and everyone got quiet as Mrs. Cade came in and slammed the door.

"Kevin, I thought I got you ALC?" Mrs. Cade said. He shook his head, not giving a reply. She sighed and sat down. "Get started on your work, guys."

Kevin copied off of the kid next to him, and I copied off of Kevin. I'm pretty sure the other kid at our table copied off of me..

She went over the work, but I wasn't even paying attention. "Lendzie, you learned about the French and Indian War in the sixth grade, tell me something about it."

I stared at her for about a minute. I shrugged. She glared at me. "It was long," I whispered.

"How long?" she asked, folding her arms.

"Lots of years," I said. Mrs Cade glared at me.

"Alex."

"Seventy or something," he answered, playing with the cover on his binder.

"No," she sighed.

"Seventy-four! Can we move on now?" Kevin shouted.

"Thank you, Kevin," she said.

-

The bell finally rang and I jumped up and left. I stood up from my locker and literally bumped into Jeremy who was standing right behind me. He grabbed me as I fell backwards slightly. "Sorry," he chuckled.

"You gave me a heart attack," I sighed, holding onto his wrist. He smiled and took my hand, leading me across the hall to science. His hand slipped out of mine as we walked in, I saw his face slightly red as he approached the guys in the back of the room.

"Wassup?" Jeremy said, sitting down. I took a seat behind him, the very last seat on the very last row. Neil sat next to me.

"Heeyy.." he said.

"Holy shirt, your shit is cool," Alex said, pointing at me.

"What?" Josh said.

"Holy shit, your shirt is cool... I haven't been able to talk all day," he laughed. I smirked slightly and put my head down, waiting for class to end.
