             A/N: I DELETED CHAPTER 2!!!!  So I put a Few periods later I hope you guys don't mind I don't want to write that chapter all over againnnnn.  OK READ ON 

                                                                      A  FEW PERIODS LATER    

        "Liv you got gym for the last period right?" Miles asked as we walked to my locker. I nodded to focused on graving my gym clothes to really pay attention to what he said.

         I opened my locker and grabbed my stuff  then realized we had lost Riley. "Where is Riley?" I asked. "Riley left a few mins ago he was complaining he had English then he walked of did you not see or hear him?"

       I ignored that question. Miles walked off to his locker hurry so he wouldn't be late for class. I headed to the girls locker room to get changed and I saw a friend.

            "Heyyyy girlyyyy" She said as she walked over in her bra and gym shorts. "Hi Max where were you at lunch? it was just me, Miles, and Riley." I shoved my clothes in the gym locker and waited for max to finish getting ready.

          "I had a student council meeting sorry it was an emergency. The news club had run out of people and some other club was asking for their space because the news club has given us no good news lately" max said while changing her shoes

           "jeez girl why did you join council again?" We walked out of the locker room and joined the class in running laps. "Because I like being in charge of people?".

          Max is scary. She has been on the council since she joined the middle school and she good at it. She is a great disition maker and is a great problem solver. Even if it causes her hate.

          As we ran our laps I asked her about the family tree project. "Ya i'm not really worried my family is really simple and if  I don't know I will just make somebody up."

             "I'm kinda worried because my dad remember?"  

             "I know what you mean but i guess you have to ask? And if the worst happens just do the side you do know" 

                                                                         AFTER GYM       

               I take my clothes out and change. I was the last one in the locker room as I may or may not have been texting/reading the 8th grader group chat. Meaning every single 8th grader was in it. The bell had already rung so school was technically over. As I walk out of the locker room I head to my real locker. Nobody was in the hallways except me. 

      "What was taking you so long?" I jumped. Miles was leaning agenst the  the wall looking down at his phone scrolling. Waiting for me right beside the door so I had not seen him when I went to my locker. 

      "Holy shit" I took a breath " You really need to stop doing that. That's TWICE today" I say as a turn to face him and give him an annoyed look. His backpack was on the ground which made it look like  he had been there for  a while. "Ok sorry but who knew girls are so slow! I've been here since the bell and how long has it been? 10 minutes"

       To be fair he was right I did take my time. "Ok why did u wait for me?" I said walking to my locker. I graved my bag and shoved a few papers in it including the project papers. The I put on more makeup for like the 700th time today.

        " You missed the bus so I waited thinking we could walk home together?" I closed the locker and checked my phone for anymore messages. "I missed the bus? Oh of course I missed the bus. Ya sure we can walk home." He flung his bag over his shoulder and slid his phone in his pocket.

        As we left the building I remembered what day it was. "Miles don't you have base ball practice? Its Wednesday." He was looking at the floor for at the school floor for a few seconds ignoring my question. "Oh sorry I zoned out but ya I do have ball but imma skip you get all 'Oh no i'm alone i'm gonna die' when you walk home alone."

        "HEYYYYYYYY just because I get scared does not mean I do that" I say. "You wanna test that theory? I think I have almost all those exact words when you texted me last week." We laughed as we left the building and took a short walk home.
