“Oh god, if you really want to drive that bad Alex I don't care.” I looked at Justin and smiled evilly. “But I get to sit up front.” I shouted. I tossed Alex the keys and ran for my car, which I left unlocked, before Justin even knew what was happening. I got in and slammed the door closed.

 

I watched as Alex pointed and laughed at his brother. We all really bonded last night. Of course Jake was really cautious about letting two guys stay the night but after his death threats were clear and understood, I was able to talk him into it. We watched Paranormal Activity 4, which was awful because I hate scary movies, and then I forced the twins to watch Tangled with me. I might be an adult now, but I still love that movie more than anything else. This was all after I got them to stop freaking out about how I was “so rich”. They were “impressed with how non-snobby” I am.  We then proceeded to have an air gun war, i’m pretty sure i’m going to have bruises for the next week, and then passed out on the living room floor with a bunch of pillows and blankets all around us. It was pretty fun and I had a good time. It was my first time ever having anything like that, friends to hang out with and spend the night.

 

“Dude I totally call driving next time. You know I hate sitting in the back.” Justin continued to pout while Alex chuckled. It was nice and quiet the entire way to school. When we got there it we had about 20 minutes until class started.

 

“Hey we still have a while until class.” I looked at them and but they were both staring past me at my shared locker.

 

“What are you...?” I looked back to see what was so interesting and saw that there was a group of people. Some laughing and some putting sticky notes with messages on them, on my locker. Really? Damn it. I’ve only been here one day and people have to judge so quickly?

 

I turn back around to walk away from the group of judgmental people and the school but then someone shouted at my name really loud.

 

“Oh my gosh! There she is!” I looked at them and tried not to break into a sprint as a bunch of people came rushing towards me. Everyone was talking at once , including Justin and Alex who were trying to stop me from being trampled, and I couldn’t understand what anyone was saying.

 

“Oh my god I can’t believe it’s..”

 

“Hey will you teach me how to...”

 

“Will you play...”

 

“What’s your number maybe we can....”

 

Why can’t all of these people just shut up and try to talk reasonably with me? I put my hands over my ears and yelled as loud as I could.

 

“Everyone shut the hell up! I can’t understand you!” I shook my head trying to avoid the oncoming headache and pointed at a girl who was raising her hand eagerly. Now I understand why we have to do this in class.

 

“Please for the love of god, explain what is going on.” I smiled at her and she took a deep breath preparing for the onslaught of news.

 

“Well someone , I don’t really know who, no one does I mean who really cares about that? I mean I don’t you might but I don’t think you will...” she kept babbling and I raised my eyebrows at her. She finally shut up and got to the point.
