Ethan's pov:

"what took you so long?" I asked Lola when she got back.

"sorry"

" so did you meet them?" I asked

"no, I just stood at their front door all afternoon- of course I met them.

"are they nice,  do they have kids"

"yes and yes" she said, taking a cookie from the plate.

"what are their names"

"William and... I  can't seem to remember the other name".

"okay,  well how about inviting them over for dinner tomorrow?"

"sounds great. Oh and Ethan... "

" yeah?"

"your window... Maybe you should leave it open just for tonight"

"y?" I asked suspiciously

"no particular reason" she said and climbed up the stairs. What was that all about.
        

I stayed in my room all weekend while Lola spent every little time with the neighbors.  I had a really strong feeling she knew them from before.

     Monday morning arrived fast,  and as usual, I stepped out of the car surrounded by the whole school,  only this time, the crowd parted a little, paving the way for Satan himself . Aiden Underwood.  Guess the time for being quite is finally over.   I was getting sick of it anyway. I stood still and watched him walk over. He stopped when we were about five feet apart.  Thelma stepped up beside him and he put an arm around her waist.

" I skipped school for a week, and I come back only to find out that my friend and his sister finally transferred back to empire high.  Aren't I lucky" he said and I rolled my eyes.

"how well did you hold up while I was gone?" he asked Thelma and she gave him one of her stupid smiles.

"don't you trust me. All the newly transferred students are now accustomed to the rules- that is except one"

" and who is that" he asked.

"Samantha Smith,  she's here on scholarship".  Okay how the hell did she find out about that.

"where is she,  I think she need to say hello.  I just got here after all."Sam if by chance you have some kind of mind reading ability,  hear me well and stay away from school until all of this dies down. I said to myself wishing she wasn't here,  but she chose that exact moment to step into school. So engrossed in whatever it is she was doing with her phone,  she walked past everybody.

" and there she is- hey Smith!" Thelma yelled and she stopped in her tracks. Shoving her phone in her Blazer,  she walked up to Thelma.

"the name's Samantha,  Smith's my surname" she said.

"why you-" Thelma started,  but was cut  off by Aiden.

"you're new here" he asked.

"wow,  I didn't notice" she replied sarcastically.

"do you have any idea who you are speaking to"

"does it look like I give a damn. I've got things to do if you'd excuse me" she said walking away, but two students pulled her back and pinned her to the ground.

"nobody walks out on me while am still talking princess".

"am sorry,  it's just that you tend to bore me... a lot" she said, laying emphasis on the last part. I could tell he was getting really mad. It was funny to watch.
