Cara, Lisa and I got out of the car, we are early so decided to head to our favorite café on campus. "So did you ask your dad about your 19th birthday party yet?" Cara asked me.

"Cara you know how he gets about me going to a party, even if it is ment for me and my friends." I told my blond curly haired friend, she always gets me with her baby blue puppy eyes.

Yet I know my dad will flip even though I don't stay with them anymore, he bought me a room at the Henley House Hotel, I asked him if I could just get a small place but he resisted and said he would agree to this room because it is safer. So I need them to understand that my life is a bit more difficult.

"Hannah?" I hear my name and snap out of my thoughts.
"Yeah?" I ask. "Great you did not listen again." Lisa complained. Now Lisa is more of the outgoing tipe of girls she loved to party and she loves the attention.

She has black hair with green eyes and does not need to do dumb shit to get attention because she is beautiful inside and out, not that I don't want to go and party, I feel lost always having to be 'safe' and keep my partens happy.

Just as I was going to ask her to repeat herself, along came the guys. They knew we always come here before class starts. All of them showerd up after their Rugby practice, they squeezed us together in the booth so all of them could fit in.

Jack, he is the soft one of the group, he has brown hair and brown eyes and loves food nearly as much as I do. Then there is Jason, he is a grumpy one but that is why he is the captain of our Rugby team, he does not take any of the other players shit. He has blond hair with green eyes a real Casanova, lastly there is Austin the party guy, he loves girls as much as he loves drinking, he has black hair and blue eyes that wins over all the girls, at least we know him and his story so we love him for who he is.

"How you doin? " Austin tries the Joey move but fails terribly. We all end up laughing in his face, he just shrugged us off and head to the other girls table on the opposite side of the café to go 'get it on'.

"So how was practice?" I ask the others who is trying to drink our cofee and we slap their hands away.

"Well as always, it is practice and then we always get a speech that we must 'do better' and 'fight harder' by coach." Jack replied bitter. It was strange to see him in a mood but then again I noticed Jason's face and he did not say a thing which is strange.

"What's up with you?" I asked Jason with a concerned look.

"There is apparently a new transfer arriving this week and he supposed to be a 'mean machine' like coach called him, so I need to work harder to keep my spot he told me but I feel like I am already at 110% of giving it my all!" he said looking sad, irritated and frustrated.

I totally get where he is coming from his parents are a lot like mine always pushing me, but I always hold back a bit so I don't break myself. I am worried about Jason he is on his breaking point. So I will have to do something to keep his head straight.

"Well, you know I have a few favors that I can call in, to get you a bit of pointers you know." I told him softly only my friends knew who I truely am and most of the in's and out's and I trust them fully with my secret, they never ask me anything and even though I offer to pay for some of the treats, they usually decline and pay for themselves but I do try and pay were I can even if they get mad. I love my friends and I know they love me.

"R.. really, yo... You would do that?" he asked with a bit of a stutter and bright eyes.

"Of course I would Jas, I know you and what this means to you. Just promise me not go and push yourself and get hurt." I answered truely.

He grabs my face and kiss me on the lips! "I promise, I promise!!!" he said very loud and now everyone is staring at us. I laugh it off and slap his head, he just smiles at me which everyone knows does not happen very often.

"Hannah, I don't know what that was about, but it nearly looked like he kissed you." Lisa whispered

I laughed "Yeah, he did but it was definitely just a friendly kiss, I promise you that." I ensure her with a smile.

After we finished our coffee we all say our goodbye's and head out to class. Me and Jack has English first, so we head out together. He has his arm draped over my shoulder and taking about their next game this Friday. They are so excited and so am I, I will be able to go watch them play. I can't go often because of my parents, but I don't have to go play host this Friday.

So we entered the class and take our seats, just as our professor entered with a big smile on his face. "Oh Shit!" me and Jack said simultaneously.
