IN BETWEEN — CHAPTER TWO
( you're like REALLY cool )

WEST MANHATTAN ACADEMY
— MANHATTAN NEW YORK.

I WAS SITTING in the library as I flipped through the pages of my book. Also, trying to ignore all the other kids who wanted to bother me. I didn't feel like coming to school today but with finals coming around it was best for me and Raine to study—though there was no sight of Raine just yet. She was mainly always late to school and never got in trouble because people loved her.

People loved me too. But it wasn't right. I hated it the way they only liked me because of my acting but what could I say, I wanted to come to school.

"May I sit here?".

I roll my eyes and groan but immediately regret it as I look up and see a red haired boy looking down at me. "Uh..um yeah yeah you can sit".

"Thanks!" he smiled, he took of his backpack and sat in the chair in front of me. "I'm Matthew, or just Matt".

"I know" I reply to him. "You're one of the other few actors here at this school we just never really talked".

"I see" he mumbled. "Well it's nice to finally talk to you, Blair".

Matt's on Disney. A little mini series about a teen doctor, which I had found interesting the first time I had watched it.

"Blair!" Raine yells across the room. We both look up at her as she quickly makes her way to us. "Blair! Blair! Blair! I'm having such a crisis".

"What's happening" I confusingly says.

"You know how I'm opening for Taylor?" she reminds me. "And I'm the youngest opener for her and she's super excited for me...my dad wants me to stop going to school now..."

"Oh.."

"I don't want to leave you" she frowns. "But it makes sense that I have to. Everyone is just bombarding me with questions and it's making me feel so overwhelmed".

     "If you have to leave that's fine and—"

      "— not to interrupt im sorry" Matt begins to speak. "You're crazy talented, Raine. Like...really talented and I think..you're amazing, I could always catch you up with school work?".

    We both turn our heads towards Matt, as he smiled brightly at us. "Really?" Raine beams. "I would totally love that! Matt you're amazing omg".

     "Let's go out for lunch, sha'll we?" I suggested, as I look at Raine, and to our new friend, Matt.

    Matt mumbled a sure as he got up from the table with his textbooks in his hands. He had also offered to carry Raine's and she kindly accepted his offer.

    We sit down in the cafe as Matt goes and orders for us; I notice my phone buzzing like crazy, so as Raine's.

    BAILEY 💐 CREATED A GROUPCHAT

     heck?

     I look up at Raine and shrug my shoulders.
