"So I'm thinking the theme for Fridays party should be pj themed and since your pool just got cleaned.." Darnell says as i put my gym gear into my regular locker shaking my head laughing.

"D..you're planning a party that I haven't even said yes to man just slow down.." I say trying to find my chemistry book.

"Oh you're gonna say yes cause it's the first week of school and all summer your spot was the go to spot for the hottest party and we don't wanna lose that type of reputation.." Darnell explains in a serious tone but I'm taking him but serious.

"We? D my mom might be home did you think about that?" I ask as he shakes his head.

"Your mom is never home.." he says without thinking and I look at him for a second. "...I mean what I meant to say.." he starts and I slam my locker close nodding.

"No...you're right." I start to walk away from my locker a little not wanting to change the mood. "A pj themed sounds great.." I say walking away as Davita walks up and I wave at her before making my way to chemistry.

"You're pretty quiet today.." Dr. Wilder says as I finally look at him as I sit in his office not really in the mood for a therapy session but the school isn't letting me go to him as a class period for nothing.

"..I guess I don't have anything to say....surprisingly" I sit up in my seat a little. 

"That's not surprising...but with silence comes more thoughts. So have you been writing in the journal I got you?" He asks and I nod.

"I don't see how writing down my very thought is gonna help though.."

"Well why do you feel that way?"

I laugh a little at his condescending question. "Oh I don't know because I don't think I should be here. I'm fine. Or at least I don't think I'm the only one that should be here.." I say vaguely.

"And who do you think should be here?" He asks and I look away and silence invades the room. "Your mom?" He asks and I look at him ready to open it up about it when the timer on his phone goes off. I laugh nodding as i stand up.

"I guess times up doc.."

"Spence wait...we could still talk for ten more minutes" he says and I shake my head.

"Naw I'm good. I gotta get to gym anyway..." I say in a rush as I pick up my things and leave his office opening his door not watching where I was going and bumping right into someone as they drop all there stuff on the floor. "Jesus I'm so sorry!" I say picking up there stuff and seeing Olivia tucking her curly hair behind her ear.

"Are you in a rush?" She asks as she picks up her books and I help her with her bag.

"A rush to get out of there yes" I joke and she eyes the room door and nods.

"Ah...Dr. Wilder giving you a hard time?"

"More like not giving me a hard enough time.." I say and she looks at me confused and I shake my head wanting to change the subject.

"What class you got next?" I ask as she looks down at her schedule.

"Uhhh gym.." and I smile and I hold up my arm like my leading the way.
