I walked up the school steps. It was Friday. I hadn't seen Flynn in a while. His mom had him under lock and key. Hayden was waiting for me by my locker.
"Hey," he smiled. "Are you still looking for Flynn?"
"Yeah,"I opened my locker," I haven't seen him."
"Well he hasn't been to any of the classes that we share so....he's probably deceased."
"De-what?,"I looked at him.
"Dead, Harley. Did you check his house?"
"I saw his step dad and brother. They're alive. He's just locked up,"I looked down. "What if you take him in?"
"Take him..in?"
"For the weekend. He won't have to be in that house of horror. And you live a block away from Megan."
"How did you know that?"
I closed my locker. "I've been Facebook stocking you, you handsome devil."
He laughed.
"I'm kidding...She's been telling everyone that she lives near you...Come on, Hayden. His step dad is going to here until Christmas. Give him a weekend away from him.....Flynn looked so scared when he saw him. He thought it was his dad. I don't like seeing him so....broken-"
"Okay, okay. I'll take him in. But you owe me."
"I'm going to that stupid party with you. You owe me."

Flynn popped up at school wearing a sweatpants and a t-shirt. He had an envelope in his hand, about to enter the office.
"Flynn,"I walked over to him. "Where have you been?"
"Uhm...,"he let go of the door handle. "My mom kept me home for a while. I'm kind of grounded."
I folded my arms. "So she can suspend you from school, but when you get suspended you can come to school?...."
He furrowed his brows.
"You get what I'm saying."
"I do but...you make everything sound so complicated,"he giggled. "Let me go deliver this letter from my mom. What it says, only she knows."
I giggled.
Hayden was coming down the hallway.
"Go do that,"I looked at Flynn.
He looked at Hayden and then shook his head, walking into the office.
"This is your chance,"I held Hayden's arm. "When he comes back out, you can ask him."
"I called my dad,"he smiled. "He's so happy that I'm having a friend over."
I giggled. "See? This is good."
"I just hope he says yes."
Flynn came walking out of the office.
I smiled at him.
"Why are you smiling?"
I punched Hayden's arm.
"Do you want to come over tonight? You know, for a slumber party?... I know it's weird. You don't have to if you don't want to-"
"No,"Flynn chuckled. "It's just that slumber party sounds....girly, I guess. Just say hang out next time, okay?"
"So that's a yes?"
"Of course I gotta ask my mom, because I was grounded....But I'm sure I can."
"Yay!," I cheered. "Skype me later, okay guys?"
Flynn smiled at me. "You seem more excited than I am."
"I am excited. We're having a sleep over."
Hayden and Flynn burst out in laughter.
"What's so funny?"
"Don't worry about it, Harley,"Hayden rubbed my head messing up my hair.
Was I being technically Friend zoned?
