i walk into school after a week of not being here, yawning as i walk down the hallway. "Y/N!" kate yells and i look up, smiling as i see her running towards me. she runs into me, arms around me already. i laugh, hugging her back tightly. ""you didn't tell me you were coming back today, stark!" she says into my ear. "surprise?" i say, laughing as kate disconnects her hands from around my neck. we smile at each other and i look away, looking at the group. "hey guys!" i say, mj laughing. "surprised you saw us." mj says, looking at kate and i back and forth. 

kate and i walk into music, walking into the empty room we always go in. i take a guitar from the wall, strumming each string as kate sits down in a chair. i sit on the chair opposite her, bringing the guitar across my lap. "you ready?" i ask, placing my hands on the guitar strings. kate nods, clearing her throat. i start picking the strings to 'story of my life' by one direction. kate starts to sing, closing her eyes to feel the music. "written on these walls are the stories that i can't explain..."

 "she told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones," i sing, playing the guitar too. kate smiles as i look up, and i continue singing. after we practise a few times, kate picks up her water bottle, gulping it down. "you nervous to perform?" i ask, drinking my water bottle too. "a little... i mean, it is in front of hundreds of students." kate says, placing her drink bottle down. "yeah, you're right." i say, putting my water bottle on the desk. i smile a little to myself, as i look down. it's crazy how good of a singer she is, i'm glad people will get to finally hear her singing. "something wrong?" kate says, and i come back to reality. "uh- no, nothing's wrong. ready?" i say, starting to pick the strings.

kate and i walk out of science, heading towards the tree as it's lunch. i stop as liz walks in front of me, blocking the hallway. "y'know we have volleyball training, right? game's in a week." she says. "oh shit! totally forgot!" i say, looking at kate. "you should probably go back to everyone else, i'll see you in english." i say to her. "okay, good luck y/n." kate says, smiling as she walks away. i look at liz, who's grinning. "what?" i say as we both walk the opposite direction to the hall. "you totally like her. wait until flash finds out!" liz says, subtly bouncing up and down in excitement. "i don't like her! kate's my friend." i defend, not entirely sure the first part was true. "yeah, sure. flash is going to be heartbroken!" liz jokes, laughing. "i don't like her! i swear, if you spread rumors i'm leaving the school." i say, liz going serious. "right, we need you on the volleyball team!" she says, opening the doors to the hall.

"why is flash always watching us? it's nothing important, just training." i say to liz as i wait for a girl to serve. "because he's watching you." liz says as the girl serves the ball. "probably watching my ass." i say as someone receives the ball. i set it to liz, and liz jumps, spiking it down to the floor. the ball hits the floor with a satisfying sound, and i hear cheering. "woo! that was a good throw to liz, y/n!" flash cheers from the seats. "it's called a set, flash." i mumble and liz laughs, waiting for the next serve.

i slightly jog into english, puffed out. "sorry i'm late, had to pack volleyball stuff." i say to the teacher, scanning the room. i walk over and sit next to jenna, taking my stuff out. "you stink." she says. "no, i think it's you, i really smelt it when i sat down. plus, i just put deodorant on." i say and jenna softly laughs. i open my book, going to the next blank page.

kate's pov

i finish writing what's on the board, and i look up. my eyes shift to y/n on the opposite side of the class, her talking to jenna. "are you looking at y/n?" mj asks next to me, looking in the direction i'm looking. "um- no." i say, unconvincingly. mj laughs, looking back at me. "you so are. you like her!" mj says, a little too loud. "shh!" i say, looking to see if anyone's around. "i don't, but you don't need to say it so loud!" i say, half whispering. mj doesn't stop laughing, making me groan. i ignore her, looking back at y/n, who's still talking to jenna.
