(Skylar's POV)

That's impossible. Oh who am I kidding? It's totally possible, but that house has been empty for years. I turn away to try and walk back into the kitchen when my mom screams at me.

"SKYLAR LOOK!" She yells, I jump, turning back around. I follow her eyes to see someone climbing out of the car. No freaking way.

(Julia's POV)

After staying late with Jeffrey last night, I'm nothing but exhausted. Then having cheer practice right after school will not help my case. Maybe I can take a sick day, do cheerleaders get those? I really only joined the cheer team to catch Jeffrey's eye, which I guess worked. I mean what's better to attract a horny teenager than short skirts and tank tops? Ever since me and Jeffrey started dating, I have actually gained a passion for it, plus you fit in perfectly with the popular group. I'm not going to lie, I know I sound like a snob, but I'm actually not. I was raised as the oldest of 3 siblings, in a very modest home. It wasn't till I was 13 years old that my father got a promotion. This flipped my life around, moving to the rich side of Norfolk and allowing me to start a new life as a "rich kid". As I take my seat in English, I'm surrounded by several of my friends all talking at once. When the bell rings, everyone takes their seats, silence filling the air.

"Julia." A voice whispers, I turn to face the direction of the noise.

"Michael?" I whisper back, he holds out his hand and hands me a slip of paper. I curiously take the paper, unfolding it.

Meet me in the Girl's bathroom. Now. -R

Hasn't anyone heard of texting?

(Katie's POV)

Okay I'll admit it. I feel guilty for lying to Shawn. Truth is, I'm not okay. I don't know what's wrong with me, something is just off. I haven't talked to Skylar in years, which makes it worse. How could I abandon my best friend? I've been sitting on the bed all morning trying to find the nerve to call. I finally give up and walk out the door for school. I should see her in history anyway.

My assumption was correct, Skylar is sitting in her usual seat, biting her nails unhealthily short.

"What's up?" I ask, trying to act casual. She looks up at me startled.

"Oh so you're still my friend?" Her expression stiffens, flipping the pages in her book.

"Okay. Look I know I shouldn't of gotten mad at you. You were trying to help and I should've been grateful for that. I was just upset because Shawn and I were having a special moment. It was stupid." I admit, releasing a breath I didn't think I was holding. It feels good to finally get that off my chest.

"Cool." She replies shortly.

Really? That's it... cool?

(Jeffrey's POV)

Okay. This has been the worst, most boring day of my life. Grammy decided to play Go-Fish with me and we ending up fighting saying that the other is lying. So after giving that up, Grammy left to go pick up DePaul and Ronan from school, leaving me here. Maybe I should've told Skylar she could come tonight. At least I would've had something to look forward to. Wait what.

(A/N) IM SORRY THESE ARE SO BORING BUT I PROMISE ITS GOING TO START GETTING GOOD OK IM FINALLY ACTIVE THOUGH SO YAYAYAY -Hope
