I went up to my locker and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. It actually happened to me a lot, especially lately.

"You seriously can't open that?" Amy noticed and chuckled.

"Obviously not since I'm struggling," I said and gave her a look.

"Here let me help." She went to the locker and it popped right open and hit me in the face. I almost fell over.

I put my hand on my cheek. "Owww," I groaned in pain.

Amy gasped. "I'm so sorry!" She shrieked.

Unfortunately, Dylan, Cayden, Luke, and Seth passed by when it happened. They were all laughing at me except Seth. Of course I would embarrass myself when Seth is walking by.

"Way to go Frozen Bra!" Cayden yelled.

Seth came up to me. "Hey are you okay?" he asked.

My face flushed red. "Um yeah I'm fine," I said casually.

"Yo Seth!" Dylan called out. "What are you doing?" Him, Cayden, and Luke had walked down the hall without him.

"I'll be there in a minute!" Seth said back. He turned back to me. "Sorry about that yesterday thing with the bra...I had nothing to do with it." He scratched his head nervously.

My face flushed even harder. "Oh it's no biggie," I mumbled and looked at the ground.

"I shouldn't have laughed. I was being a jerk."

"It's okay I'm cool with it. If it happened to someone else I probably would have laughed too."

Dylan kept motioning and pestering Seth to come over. He glanced at them and back to me. "Um I'll see you around I guess." He gave me a small smile and walked away.

"Oh my gosh he came up to you and talked to you!" Alexis shrieked, practically jumping up and down.

"Yeah I guess," I said and smiled.

"What did he mean by the bra thing yesterday?" Amy asked and looked confused.

"Ohhh that. Well yesterday I got hungry and looked in the freezer for ice cream and I pulled out my frozen bra that was covered in jello. So I barged into Dylan's room since I knew it was him. And Cayden, Luke, and Seth were there...and yeah..."

Alexis' eyes widened. "You didn't know they were there?"

I shook my head.

"How did they react?" Amy asked.

"They laughed of course. You know how teenage guys are with that stuff," I replied.

"That must have been embarrassing."

"It was but it's whatever. I got over it."

The bell rang and we walked to class. My next class was music class. Pros: Seth, Alexis, and Amy were in that class. Cons: Dylan, Cayden, and Addison were in that class.

There were no desks so we sat on the floor. "Psst! Frozen bra!" I heard Cayden say behind me.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him. He was as big of a pest as Dylan, if not worse.

"Kyler he's talking to you," Dylan said.

I looked behind and glared. "He didn't say my name."

"I said your name Frozen Bra! I have a gift offering for you." He handed me a cup of red jello.
