Rachel started her car up and looked at me before driving. "Don't be so scared, Ava. It's only people."

I rested my head against the car window. "People who are gonna think I'm an idiot."

"Just don't worry about that. Think about Bryan then."

"I don't want to. Rachel, we already went through this."

"...and I have a English test tomorrow...", she replied.

"And your point is...?"

"Oh, I'm sorry.", she said. "I thought we were just naming things we could cheat on."

I gave her a serious look. "I could never cheat on Geoffrey. That would break his heart."

She shrugged. "You may as well do it to him before he does it to you."

"Rachel, that's not true."

"I don't care if he's famous and devilishly handsome, I still don't like something about him. You two just aren't gonna last very long."

Que se mueran los incrédulos/Envidiosos si nos tronchan el destino. The words played back in my head again. I shook my head of those thoughts. "Besides, who says Bryan is gonna want me anyway?"

"Well... I may have saw them the other day..."

"And...?"

"I might've slipped to him that you were coming back."

I practically banged my head on the dashboard. "Yay." I said sarcastically.

Rachel looked away sheepishly and returned her attention to the road. "Sorry." She said quietly.

We didn't talk the rest of the car ride.

I took a deep breath and I entered the school. I sighed and prepared for my return to this prison I hadn't seen in over a year. All these kids, the bustling, yelling...ugh it was all too much. I wasn't used to it anymore.

"What's your first class?", Rachel asked me, still sensing I was mad at her.

I peered down at my schedule. "Geometry 2 Extra Help. Room 225", I replied grudgingly.

Rachel looked down. "Well, I hope you don't hate me too much...'cause we have same class."

I sighed. "Guess I can't stay mad at you for too long then."

She shrugged, then smiled. "Guess not." She held out her arm for me to link in my own. "Now come on, lets take this on together. Last year, lets make it count. Shall we?"

I smiled and joined our arms. "We Shall."

My happiness disappeared once I entered Extra Help Geometry 2. Like I was worried about, all eyes were on me.

The teacher, Mrs. Rice, looked at me in disbelief. "Miss Mata?"

I smiled mischievously. This was my second year having Mrs. Rice and to be honest I was known I be a trouble maker in her class. The look on her face when I walked in the classroom was price less. "Mrs. Rice. Fancy seeing you again."

She was speechless. Ha, the lady thought she was rid of me, didn't she?

My moment of triumph was soon over and I felt my face grow hot when all the eyes of the kids in the class were glued to me. There was one smirking face that I was unhappy to see in particular. Summer. I bet Geoffrey knew damn well she was going here too. Oh well, I would deal with him later.
