          "I can't believe you did that like....wow just....wow" Aliyah informed me as we walked to 2nd period. "Is that a good or bad wow?" I asked with a devilish smile. "A good one afronte a chica" she told me proud because she learned one new word in spanish. "Well you don't have to call me brave girl it's just she is una espina extraña en la espalda." I complained with my hands flying all over the place. "Okay whoa there I dont understand half of what you said chica" Aliyah said laughing with her words.

         "I forgot sorry I said that she's a  freaking thorn in my back" I spoke laughing with my words also. "Oh okay I knew that I was just checking if you knew that" when she said this we both started to laugh so hard we could barely breathe. We linked arms and started walking down the deserted hall to our Biology class. Reaching Mr. Baynes' class 5 minutes earlier than usual Aliyah and I took our seats in the middle of the room. "Aye girl when Ima take you out" Marquis, one of the jocks that thought they ran the school, asked Aliyah with his white smile that every girl desired. 

          Marquis had always wanted to take Aliyah out since the 8th grade but never had any luck. His brown eyes always used to make me melt when I liked him. Since I started going out with Terry it all changed. I felt like no other guy was like him, like he was my soul mate sent from heaven. He smiled getting so close to Aliyah that I think she could hear his heart beating. His arm suddenly went around her shoulder and he whispered something into her ear.

          She giggled, I don't think I ever heard her giggle that way before. Rolling her eyes she said "I guess" with a smile that I hadn't seen her wear since her and Randy were together. "Mr.  Garret please take a seat and stop flirting with Ms. CaHill (kay-hill)". Mr. Baynes spoke with that same face that always made Aliyah die with laughter. I turned to Aliyah to see if she was holding back her laughter but instead she was staring off into the distance. 

         "Okay class everyone will be paired up with a partner because we'll be working on a class project". The class all made comments and remarks about how they had better things to do or how they had lives. He began to call out the names of the partners I crossed my fingers and hoped that I paired up with somebody I could at least work with. " Aliyah you'll be working with Marquis" Marquis tapped Aliyah on the shoulder and smiled when she didn't turn around. "Anjulee you'll be working with Brendan" I thought for a moment then realized that Brendan was a good person to work with even though he was a jock.

          Last year we had worked together on a different project and it turned out very well. After that I guess we just kinda lost touch because we got close as friends working on the project. I turned in Brendan's direction and he nodded like saying we got this. Mr.Baynes explained to us what we were supposed to do and how we were supposed to do it. "Why are you all just sitting there get into your groups and work" Mr. Baynes told us with a serious tone.

         Everyone got up and mumbled slick things under their breathe like they always did. Brendan took a seat right next to me and started to pick up some test tubes and experimenting with them. I looked at Brendan and saw the way his coal black shoulder length hair covered his eyes. It was so dreamy the way he flipped his hair to the right. His deep dark brown eyes always made me smile even if I was very mad.

         I always wondered why we stopped talking and hanging out all of a sudden."Umm Anjulee you're staring a little too hard at me" he said with a grin like saying I knew you like me. "OMG I'm so sorry I just wondered why we stopped talking and all" I told him playfully hitting him in the rib. He turned his back and said "we should probably start working on the project now". What? why was he acting this way toward me?
