When I reached school, my neck was barely straight. Falling asleep on the couch wasn't the greatest idea, but I totally didn't even know I slept on the couch till this morning.

I made my way to my locker, awaiting the girls, but my vision caught a familiar brown skinned guy, he was in the company of an olive skinned guy. With my neck still stiff and slightly bent; I made my way to him. As I got closer, the guy he was talking to gave gestured towards me.

"Leave us alone." I commanded the guy he was talking to and he left with a lowered head.

"That was rude." He said, shaking his head slightly in disapproval.

"Listen, I don't want you to tell anyone about where you saw me yesterday." I demanded and he chuckled.

"Don't you know how to say please?"

"Shut up, just do as I say!" I ordered and turned to leave but a hand was stopping me.

"I wo-"

"Get your germs filled hands away from her!"
Williams voice interrupted and I place my other hand on my neck.

"Dude chill, we were just having a conversation." He said before letting go of my wrist.

"I told you not to talk to those creeps! They will ruin your reputation and mine as well!" William scolded.

"Fine."

"You all get to class now!" A teacher yelled at William the crew.

Will and I both had our first class together so we both walked to the class. Will ushered me to the back, where we sat.

Physics has never really been my thing, too many formulas and calculations, I never understand what Miss Tracy ever teaches. Which is why whenever William and I both have physics, we spent the time passing notes to each other.

Lunch was boring, there was no drama, whatsoever. Will sat next to me with Aubrey by his side and Audrey at my other side.

"Sky, there's a rumor circulating about your father running away and leaving you all with a huge debt? Is it true?" Aubrey asked.

"That's a lie. I told you all what was going on, didn't I?" I answered.

"Shut up Aubrey, I told you last night so why are you bringing it up?!" Audrey scolded her brother.

"I want drama, but not sibling drama. Stop." I interrupted them.

"It's not it would make a difference, your father isn't you." William said as he put his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I hope not.

"Sky, when should we come over to the hotel?" Lana asked.

"We should totally go today." Audrey said immediately.

"No! My mom wouldn't like-"

"When did you start caring what your mom likes?" Will interrupted

"You guys are staying in my dad's hotel right? Why don't we throw a party? Tonight." Will continued with a smile plastered on his face.

"Yes."

"No."

"When did you become a party pooper, babe?" Will teased with a smile.

"It's not like that-"

"Then we will have a party. Lana, text everyone." He ordered and Lana texted the cheerleaders.
