Over the weekend I didn't do much else. I basically walked the dog or stayed inside. Finally Monday had come and I was actually happy, because I had something to do now. I didn't really talk much this morning. I just got my things and went to class. I felt alone, because Amyra had pretended to be sick and stayed home. I sat in class half asleep, when suddenly the teacher called on me.
"Tell me about what you learned for the assigned section to read over, on your weekend." I paused, completely lost. "Um.." "Did you even write the paper?" "I di-" "she gave it to me, this morning." Some guy next to me spoke up and I stared at him just as confused. "Remember? When we read over each other's works. Here. Sorry I forgot to give it back." He smiled holding out a paper for me to take. I smiled back, catching on. "Thanks." I replied. "Hm.." She was suspicious, but resumed to teach today's lesson. I turned to the boy. "thank you so much." I whispered. "No problem. I'm Andre." He smiled. "I'm Amira." He nodded and turned back to the teacher.

At lunch I decided not to eat. "You're not gonna eat?" Cynthia asked. Red hadn't been talking to her at all. She was obviously pissed. "Not this." I replied. "Actually, I'll be right back. I've got some chips in my locker." I said, getting up. Lunch was basically over anyway. We just had three minutes. I was relieved to be freed from the tension.

I went to my locker and got what I wanted, then headed back to the cafeteria. On my way I saw Scorpio walking down a hall. I was about to call out to say hey, when I realized that he was with a girl. From where I was, she looked pretty. I continued walking, but couldn't help wondering who she was. Just as I was about to walk the other way, Scorpio caught my eye. "Hey!" He called from down the hall. I paused as he seemed to be telling the girl goodbye. I was surprised by their close, long hug. Then he jogged over to me. I was tempted to ask who she was, but stopped myself. Why is it bothering me anyway? "Hey, Miss." He greeted. "Hey, Shawn." I replied. He stared at me oddly. "Could you not call me that?" He asked in a serious tone. I chuckled. "You act like it's unspoken." I said. "Never mind, but um how's your day been?" He responded. I shrugged. "It's alright." I replied. He looked down at me, just smiling. "What?" I asked. He didn't reply. He just continued staring, but the smile was a bit smaller now. "What?" I asked annoyed. "I can't just stare at you?" He asked. "No. You're being creepy." I mumble. "I was admiring your beautiful features and flaws. What's wrong with that?" He replied. "Would you stop flirting with me?" I joked. "Who says I'm flirting? I'm just being honest." He said. The bell rang at that moment and Shawn offered to walk me to class.

Cynthia asked if she could come over to the house today, because she was trying to avoid her family after telling them that yes, she is pregnant. I guess she refuses to tell them who the father is right now and her brother is nagging her to tell them. So after the last bell had rung we were all suppose to meet up at my car. It's actually my dad's car until his gets out the shop. As I approached, I noticed that Red and Cyn were already there. I slowed my pace when I saw they were arguing and it looked like Red was going off on Cynthia. Suddenly she lashed out. She slapped her across the face and went to hit her again, but paused after hearing what Cyn had to say. "I'm pregnant! Stop!" I was glad to see that the lot was basically empty by now. I rushed over. "What?" Red asked stunned. "I don't know what he told you, but I'm pregnant and I'm sorry. Okay?" Cynthia replied. "He told me that you two had slept together and that he rejected you after that so you told your brother some lies." She said. "No. Caleb read our texts and found out that Trevor was saying he wasn't the father and..I'm sorry. I should've told you." She explained. Red shook her head, feeling guilty. "No, I'm sorry." She said quietly. I stood there awkwardly. "You guys alright now?" They looked back at me and nodded before we all got into the car. We decided not to talk about what had just happened.
