Simply Never

Part 3

Gracie's POV

It was Monday, but it's the last week of school until Spring Break, and that means going up to North Carolina, with the group, to Nash's.

We've been doing this get together at Nash's every Spring Break since elementary school.

But I've gotta wait 4 more days till then, so I'm still in prison for another week.

Well I was walking down the hall with Baylee, Spencer is sick with a fever.

As we got into first period (math), I sat in my seat, which was right beside Baylee.

"Hello class, well today, I can't be here to teach you due to a meeting, so meet Mrs. Noel's, she is going to be your substitute for the week," our teacher says.

"Now I'll be leaving here is the schedule, behave," he was leaving.

"Hello class as you all know I'm Mrs. Noel's and I'm your substitute," she says in her high pitched voice.

"Go to chapter 10, and read pages 143-145, and answer questions 1-5," she goes to sit down at the desk.

Everyone groaned a little while turning the pages.

I got to page 144, reading about circumference.

"AHHHH," I hear the substitute shout.

I look up and she water all over the desk, and her trying to get it up.

Then she picked up a packet.

"Oh no the schedule," she says putting it in the trash.

"Well class, when ya'll get done with you paper, I don't have a schedule anymore, so just sit still until everyone one is done, then you can listen to music or talk to someone quietly," she says.

"I'm going to go get some paper towels,
get to work," she says leaving.

"BAYLEE," I whisper.

"What we need to get this done," she says looking down.

"I know but are you ready for next week," I say looking at the boys basketball coach looking at everyone.

"Shh, b-ball coach 9 o'clock," I say getting to work.

------------

The class went by really fast, me and Baylee were walking down the hall to our 2nd period.

I had Social Studies, she had Art.

I walk in, and sit beside Jack G., me, The Jacks, Nash, and Shawn had social studies together.

"Hello class, and go to chapter 2 and read pages 89-96. For you will have a pop quiz on the pages.

"Dang it, when well this end," I ask Jack.

"I don't know, but can't wait for next week," he says smiling.

"Me either," I say turning to the pages.

------------

After that I had science, chorus, ELA (with Baylee), then gym.

I loved gym, I got to practice my favorite sport, basketball, plus I'm on the team.

I was talking to the group for the first few 20 minutes, then played basketball for the other 30 minutes, then talked with the team for the last 10 minutes.

As I put the basketball up, I went to the locker room to get to sweat off of me, when I saw my bestest friend on the team, making out with my boyfriend.

"HOLDEN MADI WHATS GOING ON?" I say tearing up getting mad.

"GRACIE WE CAN EXPLAIN," Madi says coming towards me.

"GET AWAY WHY?" I shout looking at Holden.

"We were playing Oreo it's not a big deal," he says touching my hand.

"DONT TOUCH ME, it doesn't matter if it was a dare or not, you just don't go and kiss someone, especially my best friend, well not anymore," I say leaving.

"WAIT WHAT," they say.

"Madi, were not friends, and forget being on the basketball team you know the rules, and Holden were threw," I say busting out into tears.

I run out of the locker room, Brianna (my other fiend on the team) stopped me.

"Hey what's up," she says.

"Holden and Madi were making out and were threw and me and Madi aren't friends," I say walking away.

I walk past my group hopping they don't see me.

"Hey Gracie come up here," Baylee says.

I just walk by not showing my face.

Baylee's POV

"SOMETHINGS UP WITH GRACIE SHES CRYING," Jack G. shouts.

"How do you know," I say back.

"Oh yeah, Gracie started to cry in 6th grade cause she hurt herself, so she isolates herself," Nash says.

"Fine I'll go, ya'll stay," I say chasing after her.

When I went through the door, Gracie has already now releasing her anger.

"Gracie, look at me, what's wrong," I say putting my hands up.

"Baylee, back up you know I will hurt you," she says trying to calm down.

"No you won't you not like that," I say slowly walking towards her.

"Yeah, I know that," she says crying even more sliding down to her knees.

That's when the group comes busting out through the door.

"GUYS I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK," I shout.

"We can't knowing that one of us is hurt, we have to be there," Jack G. says.

I just glared at them.

"What's up," I say looking at Gracie.

She just puts her head against the wall.

"It's, Holden, him and Madi were making out in the locker room," she says.

"Yeah and," I say.

"I broke up with Holden and broke my friendship with Madi, knowing we'll get kicked off the team.

With that Nash, Jack G., and Taylor started smiling, like really hugely.

"Gracie, my I speak to you," the girls coach says.

"Sure coach coming," she says leaving.

--------------

No later than 5 minutes later she comes back.

"So.....what happened," I say

"Well, I'm suspended from 3 games, Madi was banned," she says smiling.

"Well good, at least that's over with," I say.

"Yeah me too," Gracie says smiling.
