-Leah Rose-
My heart slammed into my chest. I was about to go up and give my oral report. I'm not okay with this at all. I looked at the person in front of me. My best friend Taylor. "Taylor Priddy, your up!" Mrs. Wright called out. Taylor swiftly stood up and went to the front. She began reading and reading. When she finished she smiled and went back to her seat. "Next is-"

Brrrrrrrrrring!

"Saved by the bell," Mrs. Wright commented. I smiled and got up. Thank you lord! I came out of the classroom and bumped into Jack Johnson. "Hey loser," I said picking up his book. "Hey hoe," He said taking his book. We walked down the hallway to Math. "So how was English?" Jack asked. "Great. I didn't have to read my oral report," I stated proudly. "You will soon enough," he replied back. We got stopped by Jack Gilinsky and Nash Grier. "Hey girlies!" Gilinsky teased. Johnson rolled his eyes and smiled. "How was Math?" I asked them. "It sucks. He just talks and talks for hours. Have fun!" Nash explains. He grabs Gilinsky and they take off to English. "Great," Jack and I both say.

Mr. Langer ( aka Mr. Boredom ) was lecturing us. Not about trouble but math. It's so boring. I rather be in trouble than learn about how "x" not only equals 6 but 12! Jack, though , is amazing at math. He's taking notes and answers questions. I got out a piece of notebook paper and wrote:
Jack if you don't wanna be called a nerd, then don't be taking notes and being smart. No one cares!

I threw it and it landed in front of him. He opened it and read it. Once he finished reading he turned around and flipped me off. I gaped and put my hand over my mouth. He smiled and turned back around.

The fire alarms went off. I looked up from my daydream. I got out of my seat and went to Jack. He put me in front of him and held on to me. We past the science lab and things were on fire. "Oh my god this is real!" I said looking at Jack. He turned me around and pushed me forward. "Go! Go! Go! Get out!" Teachers called. We were out by time the firemen showed.

Around 20 minutes later the fire was out. It started by someone throwing a match ,that was not fully put out, in the trash. The lab was burned but it could easily be fixed. "Schools been canceled y'all can go home, we're sending messages out to parents," Mr. Langer told us.

I went to my locker and got my things before meeting Johnson at his car. I got in the passenger side. Johnson slid in driver seat and started the car up. He glanced up at the sky. Dark clouds were rolling in. "It's gonna rain soon," he commented. I smirked. "I wonder how you knew," I replied smirking wider. He glared at me and began to drive away. I opened the visor ,for the mirror, and checked my make up. I fixed a smudged streak of lip stick.

"Here we are cutie," Johnson told me stopping in my driveway. "Thanks sexy see ya tomorrow!" I teased him back. He smiled and waved to my mother. I got my things and went inside. "I heard about the fire you okay?" She asked me. "Yeah I'm fine," I replied getting a glass down. "Good. Is there school tomorrow?" She asked me. I poured sweet tea into the glass. "I don't know. Maybe, they didn't tell us anything about tomorrow," I told her. She nodded and headed to her bedroom.

I went up to my room and started my project. I'm making a poster of my best friends and I. I'm halfway there. It starts off with Taylor , then Jack G,   the middle is Jack J, Mash ,and last is Cameron Dallas. I'm working on the middle. I'm making this for graduation night. I mean it's not until four months away ,but knowing me ,it's gonna take four months to finish.

I picked up a picture of when Johnson and I were five. We were at Gilinsky's birthday party. Johnson had cake all over his face and I was smiling like a dork. I chuckled and taped that picture next to the one where Johnson and I were matching ghost for Halloween. Thunder growled and lighting flashed. I grabbed my phone.
