Second Chance

Chapter 11

When the day ended, I said goodbye to my parents were over and all the parents were going home. I won't see them until the next visiting day. But one good thing. Austin is staying. I got my best guy friend back.

It has been a while since that visiting day. Four has been helping me with Faction History and Defense. He has been accommodating. I am seeing a different side of him. I hang out in his room a lot.

"Hey." I said, looking up to see Four walking in.

"Doing faction history, I see." He said.

"Yeah, I am. Still hate it. The teacher still hates me." I said.

"He doesn't hate you." He said.

"Can you look at it? Tell me what you think." I asked him.

"Yeah, sure." He said. He looked over my essay. He handed it back to me. "It's good." He said.

"Thanks." I said.

"So when is your next quiz?" He asked me.

"Soon. But I think I am ready for it because of it." I said, standing in front of him. I had to look up to look into his eyes.

"Then I am doing great work with you." He said, smiling.

Every day, I hang with him. I fall for him a little more every day. I see something different about him every day. I was packing my things up. He watched me.

"What are you up to?" He asked me.

"Going to hang out with the girls." I said.

"Have fun." He said to me.

I walked up to Myra, Lauren, and Christine in the Pit.

"Hey, girls." I said.

"Hey." They said to me.

"Okay. So, did you hear?" Lauren asked.

"Are you talking about the big battle?" Christina asked.

"Yes. It is coming soon." Lauren said.

"What big battle?" I asked them.

"No one told about the big battle." Myra said with big eyes.

"No. What is it?" I asked them.

"The big battle is the water battle, but I heard we were having it at the end of the year. Your source of information is wrong." Lauren shared.

"That sounds interesting. I was about to say, how can we do it in the cold? I would think it wouldn't be that fun." I laughed a little bit.

I could picture them doing it. I looked over to the girls, and we all burst into laughter. I could tell that the girls were thinking the same thing I was. Myra smiled and said,

"New topic! Guys! What's going on with you and your special men?"

"Well, Will and I are doing great. How about you, Myra?"

"Edward and I are wonderful." Myra said, smiling.

Both looked towards Lauren and I. I looked at Lauren, and Lauren spoke first and said,

"Well, you all know there is no guy in my life, and I am alright with that."

"But I know one person who would be interested in you, Lauren." I said with a smirk.

"Who are you talking about?" Lauren asked, looking around the room.

"I'm talking about Austin, my best friend." I said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? I have never even met him." Lauren stated.

I smiled when I saw Austin walk by, and I grabbed him and said,
