RECAP:

_RECAP END_

"Chase for real, I shouldn't be here." I say.

"Put a sock in it Cherry. We already paid for your school fee. There's no turning back now." He says. I sigh as I know he's right. "See you in Science." He says once we reach my locker. I opened my locker and took out my books. I pushed my fake glasses up my nose and shut the locker.

"Hey." I was greeted by the twins. I gave them a small smile.

"Hi."

"So, what happened yesterday? You left early." Jake asked.

"Er nothing. Just family." I say. They nod in unison. "Do you guys like practice doing everything together or something?"

"No." They say simultaneously.

"Stop doing that its creepy."

"Doing what?"

"That!" They gave me a weird look but shrugged it.

"So, you wanna hangout later?" Jessie asked.

"Love to but can't. Sorry." I say. "I should head to my class."

"We have the same class." Jake says. I blink a couple of times.

"Right. Let's go." I start walking to Math. I sat in my original place by the window. Jake and Jessica sit on the either sides of me. I look at Jake with fearful eyes. That's Chase's seat! I yell mentally. He smiles being completely oblivious.

"Shelly, isn't Chase Bones like the hottest guy in the school?" Jessica calls for my attention. I look at her.

"I don't really care." I shrug.

"He's got a fine ass." She whispered before the teacher came in and started the class. Two minutes later, the door banged open as the infamous Chase Bones walked.

"You're late." The teacher scolded him.

"Never cared." He walked up to Jake. "Your in my seat." His voice drops a couple of octaves low, scarring me.

"Uh um-"

"Get up." He ordered. Jake smirked.

"What if I don't?" Jake was testing Chase's patience.

"Listen up here you punk-"

"Chase you can take the seat behind right? Please...." I gave him the look. He looked at me funny.

"Are you serious about this C-"

"Mr. Bones if you aren't interested in this class, you may leave." Our teacher, Mr. Saltzman glared at him. Chase groaned and sat behind me. "You are getting detention." He added before continuing the class.

"Pst.... Shelly, what's up with you and Chase?" Jessica whispered.

"Nothing."

"He didn't snap at you!"

"Will you two shut up?" Chase whisper-yelled at us.

"Sorry." Jessie whispered to him. She gave me a look which said 'This-conversation-isn't-over'

*-*_*-*

"Enough with the questions Jessie!" Jake growled. We were currently at mine and Jessica's locker.
