Cheat

Chapter 1

I walk into the school after a doctor's appointment, only to run right into Rick coming out of his first period class. "Hey Rick" I say.

"Hi" He smiles at me and takes my hand. We walk hand in hand to second period. We sit down together in the back of the classroom. Amberley walks in with her boyfriend Noah and right behind her is Kyle. "Hey Lis" Amberley says sitting down beside me while Noah sits down on the opposite side of Amberley. "Hey Amber" I acknowledge her before I turn back around to face Rick and give him a kiss right on the lips. I look to where Kyle was sitting and see him sending a death glare to Rick. I see this and I smirk. I kiss Rick again. I turn to Amberley and see her sending Kyle a death glare. He mouths the word 'what?'. Amberley mouthes a bad word back. I laugh at her and she turns her glare to me before bursting out laughing.

"Settle down class" The teacher says, narrowing her eyes at Amberley and me. "Today we will be reading Shakespeare's Hamlet. Hannah, please pass out the books" she says pointing to a girl in the front row. Hannah nods and passes out the books. I see Kyle slip a piece of paper in one of the books and then he whispers something in her ear. She giggles and nods. "Quickly Hannah, we don't have all day" the teacher scolds.

"He said this was for you" Hannah says handing me a book. I look to Amberley and she just shrugs. Hannah scurries back to her desk and the teacher begins to read.

"What the heck?" I mummer to myself as I take out the note. 'Stop testing me'. Those three simple words made me start laughing like a hyena. "Amber, look at this" I turn to her still laughing. She takes the paper and begins to laugh. I look to Kyle and I begin to laugh hysterically again because his face was so quizzical. I grab Rick's hand and I lean into him. We stay in this position for the rest of class and I zone out. The bell rings signalling the end of class and waking me up from my trance. "Let's go to lunch." I say

"Just let me go to my locker." Rick says, our lockers are all in different parts of the school. I'm in the 100 wing, Ricks in the 400 wing, Noah's in the 300 wing, Amberley's in the 500 wing and Kyle is also in the 500 wing. Their lockers are only 4 apart and they always glare at each other.

"I can believe Kyle is jealous!" I giggle with Amberley

"I know, it's so funny!" Amberley says. We both go our separate paths to our lockers. I get my lunch money quickly and slam my locker shut.

"Be quieter Elisa!" I teacher that I don't recognize scolds

"Sorry!" I call back at her. I go to the court yard and meet Amberley at our usual place.

"Hey. Let's eat outside, Li." Rick says coming up to us

"Yeah." Noah says

"Uhh, fine." Amberley and I roll our eyes simultaneously.

"Yay!" Rick does a little happy dance and I go buy my lunch and then our little group goes and sits by the big oak in the yard.

"So, hows your pizza?" Rick asks me half way through eating.

"Good." I cover my mouth as I talk because I had food in my mouth. After I finish chewing I talk again "How is your," I take a moment to look at his food and make a disgusted look "sandwich."

"Boring." He laughs

"Awesome." I say also laughing

"Hey Noah, how did you do on that math quiz?" Amberley asks Noah, they both have AP math first period.

"I aced it" Noah says proudly "What about you?"

"Aced it too" Amberley says. All of the sudden her face morphs into a glare. I look behind me and see why. Kyle is walking with his friends and they sit down only about 3 or 4 meters away from us.

"Ignore him." I say to Amberley. Amberley shakes body, pulling herself out of a trance. "Anyways, um, we should go inside, the bell is going to ring soon." I say

"Uhh" Amberley sighs loudly.

"What's wrong babe?" Noah asks, worriedly looking at her.

"It's third period, remember, I have a spare next all alone because you guys have class" she groans.

"Aw, muffin" Rick smiles sarcastically.

"I'm going to go to Tims and get myself a real muffin and make you guys jealous. Or maybe I'll go to McDonalds" Amberley bugs us. "And I'm going send lots of pictures. Hey, Noah, where should I go? McDonalds or Tim Hortons?"

Noah glares at Amberley jokingly, before saying "Tims" and then he rolls his eyes at her. "Since I helped you decide you shouldn't send me pictures."

"Deal." Amberley smiles and kisses him to seal the deal instead of shaking his outstretched hand.

"Hey! No fair!" I playfully glare at her

"Lis' right, that's not fair! You only asked him, not us!" Rick complains. I laugh, just as the bell blares behind me.

"Bye guys. I'll meet you after school Lis" Amberley says. "By the office." She clarifies

"Ok, see you later." We all go inside and head off to our separate class. I go to my locker and then head to biology.

"Good afternoon Lis." I smile at Mr. Jain, mentally thanking him for remembering not to call me Elisa

"Good afternoon Mr. Jain." I say politely. I walk over to my assigned seat in the middle row second to the left. The bell rings just as I plop my books onto my desk.

"Ok class." Mr. Jain claps his hands, preparing to lead my biology class.

By the end of class I know nothing new about biology but I do know what Amberley's Tims food looks like. It was a repeat of what the supply taught yesterday. I walk to my next class which was only 2 doors down.

"Good afternoon Elisa." My chemistry teacher says in a thick french accent

"Good afternoon Madam Da Silva." I respond. I take my seat in the front row and she begins class. I very much dislike chemistry. The bell rings and I race out of class. I meet Amberley by the office like promised and we walk out of the school.

"How much reading do we have to do?" I ask

"Umm, 4 chapters? Maybe 5?" Amberley strains to think of the right number

"Ok, we'll figure it out at your house." We walk home to Amberley's house.

As soon as we get to her house, I go to the bathroom and I get a call just as I was washing my hands. I see Rick's contact name 'bf *kissy face*' I click the answer button. "Hey." I say jumping up and sitting on the sink

"Um hi?" A female voice says

"Who is this?" I ask

"Rylee, who's this?"

"Elisa, wait no, Lis, but why are you calling me from my boyfriends phone?" I ask

"Wait, what? Why are you calling my boyfriend your boyfriend?" She questions in return

"No." I say quietly "No, no, no, no, no, no." I whisper pulling my legs to my chest.
