This day has gone pretty slow, my classes have been boring, the teachers have said nothing interesting and I just want this week to go faster. I thought coming back to school was going to be a little more fun and exciting.

My sister and I had a little fight last night for something stupid and my parents keep defending her, it's so annoying. I don't know why she dislikes me so much, she's my sister. I'm just tired of being nice to her and she never treats me the right way. Maybe now that she isn't talking to me she'll see that I'm a good sister and that I love her... said no one ever.

"Allie?" I hear Zach telling me when the class finishes.

"Hey." I say, "What's up?"

"Nothing much." He says, "My friend Caleb and I were wondering if you wanted to hang out later today." I turn to see his friend and I smile to him. Caleb looks so nice and cute, and it would be good making another friend. Besides, if he's like Zach we will be great friends.

"Sure. Sure that'll be cool." I say.

"Cool. See you later then." Zach says and then leaves with his friend. Yay, I'm starting to feel comfortable again.

I arrive to the Java's Café to meet Zach and Caleb but I don't see them. I think they're running a bit late or maybe I'm just quite punctual, so I just sit down on one of the big red couches and take my phone out to play Bejeweled. At least I won't see too lonely if I'm on my phone.

I hear some guys coming in and I tilt my head up too see if they are my friends, but they aren't. It is a group of six boys, they're making a lot of noise, screaming and speaking really loud. I don't like that kind of people, they just want attention and they believe they're the most important people in the world.

I roll my eyes but still stare at them. I notice that one of them looks pretty normal, less loud than the others. He is laughing about what they're doing but he's the only one that's not shouting or making loud noises, it looks like he's having fun and everyone likes him but it's obvious that he's not like them. At least from the outside.

A few minutes later I hear the door open and look to see if it was Zach or Caleb, but again it wasn't, it was Liam. He goes to the group of noisy guys and greets them.

Is he friends' with them? It looks like so, but I can't actually believe it, I mean, he looks so different to them. He starts to talk with the guy that wasn't making a lot of noise and they both laugh. Maybe he's a close friend of him, I don't know. There are so many things I don't know. I feel lost but it interests me so much.

"Allie, right?" I hear my name and find Caleb standing next to me.

"That's right. Hi Caleb." I say to him and smile. I've seen him in a couple of my classes but I haven't actually spoken to him. It's nice to be making new friends, it feels good. "So is Zach joining us?" I politely ask.

"Yeah, I think so." He tells me and turns to the entrance, "There he is." We both smile to Zach and wave to him.

"Hey guys." He says smiling.

"What's with the guys over there?" Caleb asks and we all turn to see them.

"I don't know. They've been like that since they arrived." I say. In the same moment I finish my sentence Liam looks at me and smiles. He says something to his friends and comes into my direction, along with his blonde friend. Shoot.

"Hey Allie, I didn't know you were here." He says and I smile, "This is my friend Jason." He introduces. Jason is pretty tall and handsome as well, his blonde hair is styled up in a small quiff and he has a really nice smile, showing off his cute dimples. I love dimples.

"Hi." I say to Jason, "These are my friends-"

"Zach and... Caleb, right?" Liam interrupts me.

"Do you know each other?" I ask. I'm even more confused now.

"Yeah, we were in some classes together last year." Zach starts saying, "But we aren't-"

"That close." Liam completes.

"Oh, okay." Are the only words that come out from my mouth. This feels awkward. I don't know what to say to break this awkward moment, so I just say the first thing that comes to my mind.

"Well, I don't want to take more of your time. I think your friends are waiting for you." I say and look back at the crowd of boys.

"Yeah. Nice to see you, Allie." Liam says and takes a step back. "Bye guys."

"It was nice to meet you." Jason says and walks away with Liam.

"Ok, this was absolutely the weirdest moment of my life." I say half-laughing-half-speaking to Caleb and Zach, "Is everything fine?"

"Yes, all good." Zach says. For some reason I think something happened between them, I mean, the tension in the air was so tangible. I can't imagine what could have happened, but who am I to judge or ask.

"Well, let's go." Caleb says and I nod.

The rest of the afternoon was so nice and cool. Caleb is such a fun guy, he makes me laugh so hard. He's a little bit of a pervert and talks about non common stuff you would usually talk to a girl about but he's so cool. I'm glad Zach introduced us.

I get back home and go to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I take an apple from the counter and wash it. I hear a noise and I immediately go to the living room. I thought no one was in the house, but I find my sister crying with her hands on her face.

"Becca what's wrong?" I ask and sit down beside her.

"Nothing, leave me alone." She says crying.

"Please tell me, maybe I could help." I insist.

"You can't do anything about it." She says.

"Then tell mom or dad." I suggest.

"What? Are you insane?" She says almost screaming "I can't tell them the damn condom broke!"

"What!" I say mouth-opened and stand to my feet.

"Please don't tell anything to them, I beg you." She says, crying harder.

"I didn't even know you had a boyfriend, who is he?" I ask. I feel my heart beating faster and my body getting warmer.

"I don't." She confesses, "It's just a guy I met a few days ago." She cleans her face with the back of her hand and continues, "I realized what had happened after we finished." She explains, " I don't think I'm pregnant but I'm really scared. He's been with a lot of girls and... He's known for having STD's in the past."

"Oh my god." I say and hug her. I know this is really hard for her but I can't believe she did it with a stranger, that doesn't sound like her.

I'm so worried. I can't hide this from my parents. Even if I did they will kill me when they find out. She's my little sister and I'm upset, but if I was her I would be pretty scared too, her health could be in danger.

I wish I could help her. If she talked to me and let me guide her maybe I could fix that little piece wrong in her, that part that's making her feel sad and angry all the time, but I guess that wouldn't be completely right either.
