I glance down at my schedule to see what class I have. Science, okay, not my favorite but I can deal. RING, RING!! My phone starts going off. I pull it out and glance at the text. From: Unknown       Meet me in the recording booth in 10 minutes.  Ohhh-kayyy, that's weird. But fine, whatever. I turn around and start heading towards the recording booth inside the music room where I passed out earlier. I reach the music room and push open the door, peering in. "Hello?" I call, quickly pulling up my video camera on my phone and pressing record, angling it up so I'll be able to catch the person's face. I walk over to the recording booth and open the door, walking inside and closing the door behind me. "Hello, Addison. Or, should I use your real name, Skailyr?" I hear a guy say from the shadows of the booth, then I realize where I recognize the voice from and run to the recording booth door, turn the doorknob, and realize that its locked, thank the fucking lords. "Are you fucking insane?! Why the hell would you come here?! You couldn't wait for me to get home or some shit? If anybody sees us, I could get kicked out and not be able to complete the mission! And what is up with your number coming up as unknown on my phone? I have your number saved." I rush out, glaring at Zack. "Okay, 1. Good to see you too, 2. maybe I am insane, 3. no, I couldn't wait for you to get home, 4. I know that, 5. No clue about the number thing. I'm sorry, I just missed you.." he says, putting his head down. "That's adorable, but you need to leave. I have class. I love you and I'll see you when I get home." I tell him, turn around, and walk out. I find the classroom down a different hallway and open the door slowly, peeking in. "Can I help you?" the woman, Ms. Scott I'm assuming, says. "Uh, yes. I'm new and had a little trouble finding the room. This is room 113, correct?" I ask, glancing at my schedule to make sure I was in the correct room. "Yes it is, and you must be Addison. You can have a seat back there next to James. James, raise your hand please so she knows who you are." Ms. Scott instructs him. A guy with black hair and an All Time Low shirt on raises his hand and I walk back slowly. He greets me with a lopsided smile. "Hey, I'm James. I'm assuming you're Addison?" he says. I nod. "Cool shirt, I have the same one except, yanno, obviously the guy version.." he says, suddenly very flustered. I smile. "Thanks. Woah, this is gonna sound weird, but you have gorgeous eyes." I say, and then I am the flustered one. "And now I can't believe I actually just said that.. I'm sorry, today is just not my day." I say, blushing furiously. "Hey, its all good, thanks, you have a gorgeous face. Wait, what? Did I really just say that out loud. Fuck. You're probably thinking I'm a douche now. Although, you have probably been getting that all day.. The compliments and the douchiness, the guys at the school are idiots. Sorry, am I rambling?" he says, putting his head in his hands. "Hey, its all good man." I smile, putting my hand on his shoulder, then quickly taking it away when I realized that might be taken as flirting. I quickly pull out my phone and send a text to Zack, telling him not to flip shit because I knew that both him and Alex were permanently listening now. "Who you talking to, if you don't mind me asking?" James asks, raising an eyebrow. "Urm, my boyfriend." I say quietly. "Damn right you are." I hear Zack say in my ear. "Ah, cool. Tell him I said hi." James laughs. "Will do." I smile, then text Zack "My friend James says hi XD" Alex answers in my ear. "Good job, tell him I say hi too." he laughs. I turn to James, smiling. "Zack and his friend Alex both say hi." I tell him, grinning because I know this is going to be the beginning of an amazing friendship. "Wait, what class do you have next period?" I ask James, pulling out my schedule. "A free period, how about you?" he replies, casually glancing at my schedule. "I have a free period too! Do you wanna come with me and meet my best friend, Caden?" I ask. He nods, "That sounds like fun, I'd like that." "Cool." I smile, then turn to face the front. A folded up piece of paper lands on my desk. I unfold it and read what is written on it. What's your #? I smile and quickly write my number down, fold it up, and toss it back onto James's desk, then pretend to pay attention.

~Next period~

"Ready?" I ask, shoving my folder back in my bag and throwing it over my shoulder. James nods and stands up, not bothering to put his stuff in his bag. "You can put your stuff in your bag you know, I won't leave without you." I tell him. "Okay." he says, then shoves his stuff in his bag. "Ready?" I ask when he slings his bag over his shoulder and straightens up. "Yeah, lets go meet Caden!" he yells playfully, causing me to laugh. "Your laugh is like a baby giraffe trying to stand up, it's cute and makes everybody else laugh." he smiles at me, causing me to blush. 'Wait, why am I blushing? No, bad' I mentally slap myself. He looks at me questioningly. I shrug and take the lead, not telling him where we are going, just occasionally looking back to make sure that he is following and didn't duck away. "Don't worry, I'm still here, I'm not leaving. Well, except when its time to go home.. You know what I mean, I'm not gonna abandon you, I want to meet Caden." he laughs. "Well, you're about too..." I tell him, pushing open the door to the cafeteria and stepping inside. "Why did you say it like that?" he laughs. I shrug and close the door behind him, leading him over to Jesse. "Caden, I'm here, and I brought a friend. His name is James and he's in my science class." I tell her. "James, this is Caden, Caden, this is James." I smile, introducing them and hoping Jesse isn't too mad. James smiles and gives a little wave. "Hey." he says. Jesse glares at me then turns to look at James. "Hi." she says, then grabs my hand and pulls me a couple tables over. I call back over to James, "I'll be back in a minute, don't go anywhere!" then turn to face Jesse. "Yes?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Why did you bring him?" she asks. "Uh, because he's guy best friend material and I wanted you two to meet. I'm sorry, I can tell him to leave if you want?" I suggest. "No, its whatever. He can stay I guess, I was gonna talk to you about the thing with Nate and Seth." she says. "What about it?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest. "What are we gonna do about it?" she asks, but its obvious its a rhetorical question. "You guys aren't going to do anything about it, we'll take care of it and Rian says he takes offense to your guy bestfriend material comment Skai." Alex says in my ear. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." I laugh. "But seriously, about the Nate and Seth thing, you girls are not to do anything, we will take care of it. See you guys soon." Alex says. I glance at Jesse, noticing a flash of something in her eyes. Anger.
