Chapter three- School and Friends (UGH)

I walked into school Wednesday morning. I hate school. They took a great thing like education and ruined it with terrible teachers that don't give a shit and low life kids. I walked to my locker to put away my things. My best friend Brendon met me here.
"Aye Sunshine, love the outfit."
"Shut up jackass!"
I was wearing a Fall Out Boy cropped muscle tee and dark blue ripped jeans. I had my well-worn leather combat boots on. You could see my belly-button piercing. My hair was down and straightened.
"Oh come on, you look hot."
"Perv"
Brendon Urie is my best friend, he has been since 7th grade. He's from Las Vegas and trying to make it big with his band Panic! At The Disco.
To be honest I don't have a lot of friends, I'm just not all that friendly. Brendon and his band mates Ryan Ross and Spencer are my friends.
Me and Brendon went to our home room A.P English.
Everyone decided to stare at me when I walked in. It's so typical, being dressed like this and being so smart. Those Goddamn labels...
I'm always the type to participate in class, especially English though.
"Today we will be discussing the author of a very well-known book, The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green. What are your thoughts on his writing and his book especially?"
I raised my hand.
"Yes, Mrs.James."
"Mrs.Young, I think John Green is one of the most influential and amazing writers of our century. His character development is beautiful and descriptive. But his plots aren't as riveting and his endings, are just too predicable. At least he's a realist. Hazel didn't get a happy ending, which is sadly the real world. He captures what the world really is, but tends to simplify the plots a bit."
Everyone looked shocked that some girl looking like me could actually be intelligent. Brendon shot me a look of jealousy. This is his only A.P. Class and he has a D. Brendon's smart, just is a bit unfocused. Especially with our friend Spencer battling addiction. I pulled out my phone to text him.
Taylor: Hey, like my answer? ;)
Brendon: Shut up, smartass. John Green isn't "predicable" he's overrated.
Taylor: Jeez Urie, it's an opinion. Raise your hand and share yours. If you need help on anything just meet me at Starbucks at 7:00.
Brendon: Tay, what makes you think I need help? Plus I can't I have rehearsal till 8:30. And Spence actually can make it.
Taylor: Wow, that long? And okay, just an offer ;). How is he BTW?
Brendon: Not good.
Then he shut off his phone and pretended to pay attention.
Finally the period ended.
.......

The rest of the day dragged on until last period. Finally some fun. We had a game against our rival South High today, and volleyball is a form of escape.
I changed into spandex and my green and purple uniform. Then headed out.
There are two setters on our team. I'm not exactly friend with anyone on the team but everyone seems to respect me for being a good player.
I got the team together. According to the coaches I'm Co-captain this season. So me and this friendly enough girl, Dylan lead the warm-up's.

We got into the positions and the plays began. It was a tough match but we won.

Everyone, sweaty and exhausted from pulling one hard win was discussing schedules. We all did a team cheer and hit the showers.
I headed to my empty home. I hate the quiet, it makes me feel alone. But Brendon has rehearsal so I'm all alone. I decided to work on hard band music and make dinner. After finishing everything at around 8:30 I got the text.
It read:
8:29 P.M.
Brendon: Tay, Spence is in the hospital... It was Alcohol poisoning... I'm really worried
Taylor: OMG Bren I'm sorry!! Do you want me to come? Also, what about rehearsal?
He sent me an immediate reply:
Brendon: honestly, I'm scared. but I can't ask you too, it's late and your tired.
Taylor: it's never "too late" and I'm never " too tired" for my best friend!!! I'll be over in five.
Brendon: I seriously don't know what I would do without you, I love you.
The last words made me re-read it a few times. I don't know why but it suddenly gave me a funny feeling in my stomach and made my heart start booming in my chest like a ticking time bomb. I smiled like an idiot involuntarily.
WHAT. NO. NO.NOOO.
Did I just...
He always says that as a friend. He always has BEEN a friend!
But this time, it seemed different. Just that text...
No it's not he has a girlfriend, Alana.
Just the words on the screen made me feel so... in love?!
I don't know, it doesn't matter. I've never even really thought about this in the 3 years we have been best friends. Well, maybe not never... that feeling, now that I think about it happens whenever he says he loves me. He may only mean it in a friend way... WHY IS THIS GOING THORUGH MY MIND WTF TAYOR!
I shook the thoughts and got into my car to meet them all the hospital.
