"So are you going to the party tomorrow night at Jesse's?" My best friend Loren asked as soon as we sat down at our regular small table to eat our lunch. Our school cafeteria is quite large so there's a few empty tables but my group of friends usually sat right by the cafeteria doors.

"I told you no yesterday, what do you think my answer is going to be today?" I gave her my best sarcastic look. "They're more of your friends than mine." Loren was practically my only true friend. I had people talk to me like Angela, Nina and Ricky but I only hung out with Loren and ate lunch with her. Not that I wasn't liked or anything but because I didn't care to hang out with everyone else. While they were all doing drugs and getting drunk at parties, I was studying for my tests or watching movies at home. I just wanted high school over with so I could run off to college and Loren was the only one, other than Mason, who knew how to understand that. "Besides, we're over half way done with our senior year, I don't feel like jeopardizing my diploma." I trailed on then smiled an apologetic smile. Sometimes I felt as if I bored her with how lame I was as a human being.

Loren laughed accepting my silent apology. "Mell I get it, and you're a big baby. You're just going to wait until college to start partying?"

Yup. Made sense to me. "I mean I guess so if you look at it like that."

Her eyes rolled at my answer just as Angela and Ricky joined our table. Nina was the only one missing.

"Hi Mel, Hi Loren." Angela waved at us cheerfully while Ricky simply sat in the seat just to put his head down. He must not be having a good day.

"Hey Ang." Loren waved back while I smiled at her.

"Do you know if Mason is going to Homecoming with anyone?" Angela asked me directly.

She's had a pretty big crush on my twin brother for the last year now and it's eating at her, I can tell.

"Ew gross, why would you wanna go with her brother?" Loren asked but also knew why.

"He's just so hot." Angela said in a dreamy way. "I can't help it."

"Subject change." I requested.

"I noticed 'mute boy' wasn't in English class today." Loren said flipping subjects like they were burgers.

A frown appeared on my face at the sound of the familiar nickname.

'Mute boy' was a guy named Dillan Cooper. He was a six foot tall brunette with chocolate eyes and a mysterious attitude. Underneath his black rimmed glasses he sometimes wore and in those dark brown eyes held stories about the mute, reserved boy he was at school. The guy kept to himself literally didn't speak talk to anyone, except for a girl named Rachel and that's how other people knew he wasn't completely mute, he just hated everyone. Almost certain he wasn't even selectively mute considering he and I used to be friends back in elementary school. And even though he now was odd and never talked, he still intrigued me.
