drifted apart

Sorry for all the unedited chapters, Junior life is just very busy. Well I hope you enjoy!

(Unedited) (lmao typical)

LET'S GO!

~~

"So what's your new schedule?" Gabe asked me as we leave the counseling office.

"You expect me to know? I didn't even open it yet." I tapped his forehead with the envelope.

"Right." He laughed.

"I got Ceramics for first, Chemistry for second, Free Period for 3rd, and Musical Arts for 4th." He read out his schedule to me.

"This sucks." He blurted.

"Why? You only have one hard class." I pointed out.

"Yeah I know, it just sucks I'll be graduating soon."

(Did I ever mention Gabe is a Senior and Naomi is a Junior? If I didn't sorry lol)

"Hey you should be glad to be out of here, no more waking up early." I laughed.

"True." He chuckled.

"Anyways.." I trailed off and ripped the envelope open. "Okay so I got.." I trailed off again to unfold the paper as we continued to walk forward in the almost empty hallway.

"Oh give me it." Gabe grabbed the paper and unfolded it impatiently.

"Well sorry, Mr. Impatient." I rolled my eyes jokingly.

"Okay so you got Faculty Assistant for first." He began.

"Okay."

"Algebra 2 for second."

"Ew, okay."

"Ceramics for third."

"I guess."

"And US Government for 4th." He finished.

"That's fine, I guess."

"Hey by the way, did you hear the news?" He stops in front of me which halts me from my tracks.

"Good or bad?" I questioned.

"Terrifying." He breathed out.

"What happened?" I asked giving him my full attention.

"Promise you won't panic?"

"I promise."

"Okay.." He began. "So back when you and Sean were still okay.." He looked down at me to see if he should continue.

I nodded in approval.

He took a breath in and continued, "remember the time we brought him to this school? His first public school experience." He asked me.

"Well yeah, how can I forget?" My heart stung a bit from the memories.

"Well apparently, after that day he told his parents all about it. How he really loved it.. and wished he could have an education in a public school." He continued.

"And what?" I furrowed my eyebrows trying to understand where he's going with this.

"The parents enrolled him to our school for second semester." He said so fast it was like an Olympic race.

"What?!" I blurted dropping my papers in shock.

"Okay look." He held his hands up in front of me to calm down. "They apparently already enrolled him before you guys... drifted apart."

"And so?!" I wasn't ready for this at all.

"And he only found out two days ago. He had no idea they would listen to him. Now he can't turn it down or else the parents will suspect something." He explained carefully yet quickly.

"This can't be happening, Gabe." I stuffed my hands into my hair and pulled lightly in panic.

"We can get through this. You can get through this." He put his hands on my shoulders now. "It's not like you guys have any chances of classmates anyways. He did come from a private school." He reassured me.

"Yeah, you're right."

~~

Gabe was now just dropping me off to my Ceramic's class since I have no idea where it is, and it is his first period. We had just turned into the door when we both noticed the same person, at the exact same time.

Here I go again.

"GA--" (she was supposed to yell Gabe's name if you don't understand)

My yell of terror was muffled shut by Gabe's ginormous hand as he pulled me to the side.

I yanked his arm away from my mouth and turned directly at him.

"I knew this would happen!" I smacked his arm. "I should've changed my schedule and not believed that we wouldn't end up being classmates!" I smacked his arm again.

"It's too late for that okay!" He reminded me. "Just stay as far away as possible. Keep things low key so people won't be suspicious. Keep it classroom professional, if you get what I'm trying to say." He told me.

"Okay. I can do this." I lied to myself.

"I'm only a call away, alright?" (Yas, Charlie Puth) he pulled me into a hug.

"Okay. Thanks." I smiled at how caring Gabe can be. I'm so lucky to have him as my brother.

After we broke apart I waved him good bye and prepared for my death sentence as I began to walk through the classroom door. Eyes were brought to me but one of them really stood out.

Sean's.

He quickly turned away though and I could tell he is as awkward as I am. I took an empty seat at the center of the class room while Sean was at the way front. It was a very good enough spot.

"Hello class! My name is Ms. Queenie, I will be your Ceramic's teacher." She smiled like an angel.

"Okay let's get started with the seating charts!" She announced.

The class groaned but as for me my heart dropped down to my stomach.

Okay, Naomi. There are at least 30 sum students in this class. There is a slim chance you guys would have to be seat mates.

"Don't worry, I'm keeping it fair." She laughed.

She then took a bucket and set it in front of Sean.

"Alright, in this bucket is seat numbers. You will all draw one out but you will not open it until I say so. Understood."

We all replied with an okay and watched as the bucket went around. After we all got one paper she instructed us to open it and find our seats.

30. Alright then.

The 30th seat was placed towards the back of the class so I was pretty alright with that. As I pulled out my chair I noticed the person in front of me did it to his/hers in the same time as well. I planned to look up and laugh but instead I was filled with fear.

Seat 31-- my seat mate.. belonged to him.

~~

Ooooooh. Seat 31.
