"I can't wait for Christmas Break!" Elizabeth says, obviously excited.

"Me too, I'm ready for a break" Grace replied.

"I think all of us are ready for a break" I stated.

"I'm not!" Raquel said, loudly, then covering her mouth.

"Since when does the Raquel want to go to school?" Lexi asked.

"Uhhhhh, what are you talking about?" She replied trying to be smooth.

"Is it a boy?" Elizabeth asked, getting up in her face. Raquel slightly pushed her away.

"No!" She replied, making Elizabeth sound as if she had just said 'the aliens just invaded!'.

"Yes it is" she said, sounding sure.

"Nope" She shakes her head.

"Yeah" Elizabeth debates.

"Possibly" Raquel muttered, looking down.

"AH HA! You said possibly, which means it is!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

"Is it that Noah dude?" Joy butt in.

"Maybe" Raquel replied sheepishly.

"IT IS! Oh my gosh-" Elizabeth said, sounding astonished "THIS IS YOUR FIRST CRUSH EVER!" She yelled, squealing, making Raquel blush.

"Looks like someone let open Pandora's Box" I said, with a I-told-you-so face.

"Yeah, yeah. How are you and Blakely doing?" She said with a take-that face. Now it was my turn to blush. Blakely and I have actually been talking a lot lately.

"That's for me to know and you to, possibly, find out" I replied, standing stout.

It was before the last day of school, before Christmas break, and we were are the front of the school talking before school.

I walked in to gym class and kind-of hid in a corner, away from Alex, Liza, Carmen, and Harry. This seemed to be working lately, they only caught me twice.

Coach Kylie (Yes, she's a girl) blew her whistle. "Okay guys! We're going to play dodge ball today" She announced. Most of the students cheered, they loved dodge ball. I actually enjoyed it, though I sucked.

"I'm going to split you into teams, everyone get into groups of 5, odd ones out walk over to me" I looked around. Most people were already in groups, I saw the only group open was their group.

Wow, I have no friends. I thought. I looked once more, to see Blakely. He was with his friends, Brandon, Houston, and Jacob. I knew their names, because they're the, I guess you could say, rebels of the school. He looked me in the eyes, to see me begging with them. He nodded his head in their direction, then went back to talking with his friends probably telling them he invited me.

"Thanks Blakely, I owe you one" I say.

"Yeah, yeah. Guys, Avalon. Avalon, guys" He lazily introduced. I smiled at each of them.

"The odds fit into a group of 5, but I'm going to have a helper for a quick second" She told us. Then, she whispered something to her helper. She went around counting all the groups, and kind of cowered when she walked past ours. She said a number, and the coach said "Perfect. Go to the odds group" She says giving her a nudge in the direction. She went around and said something to each group.

"Two" she said to us. I looked at Blakely and he looked down at me. I shrugged.

"Ones on this side, two on the other" Everyone ran to their spots, knocking me down in the process. Blakely was still beside me, and he helped me up.

"Thanks" I said.

"Don't mention it. Literally" He said, making me laugh.

We got to our side, next to the others. Coach Kylie put the balls in a straight line, ran out of the way, and blew her whistle. The brave ones ran to the front to get a ball, only 4 surviving. I stood a bit behind the others, not wanting to get hit. Unfortunately, while doing so, my back smacked into something. I turned around to see Alex, glaring down at me. He grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the corner, but while doing so I grabbed onto Blakely.

He turned around, and saw me struggling, to get free, and punched Alex straight in the face. He stuttered backwards and held his face. I don't blame him, that looked like it hurt. I ran straight to Blakely's chest and hugged him.

"Thank you, oh thank you" I repeated, over and over again.

"Avalon tell me something, is he a constant problem?" He asked, looking concerned. I nodded my head, with him now bending down to look at me, me being the short one, like, a head shorter! "We need to talk" he stated.

"Okay"
