I get to school and rush to my class. The hallways are now empty and I know that I’m going to be late again.  The last bell has already rung but I was running down the hallway to my class. I get to my class and see the teacher from across the hall standing there, Mrs. White. She was also an English teacher in her mid-50.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I had a family emergency this morning." I begin to tell her.

"Well, don't make this a habit.  I expected better from you." she tells me.

"Sorry. Thanks for watching my class for me." I tell her.

"Yeah sure. Don’t let this happen again" she says and leaves.

Wow. I guess some people just weren't very nice.  I step into my class and smile at them. I put my stuff down on my desk then face the class, leaning against my desk.

"Ok, let’s begin where we left off yesterday." I say, beginning class.

The day goes on pretty smoothly and I’m pretty nervous for lunch. I don't know what is going to happen. Will Dean and Casper show up? Will they act weird? Will they try to bring something up? I'm worried for lunch and hope maybe they just won't show up.

I hear knocking at my door and jump. My hands are shaking and sweating. I rub the palms of my hands on my dress and go to open the door. To my relief it’s Drake.

"Heaeey..." I say, kind of shakily.

"Hey. Are you all right you look kind of pale?” He asks. He walks in and closes the door behind him. I walk over to my desk and sit at my desk. He stands behind me resting his arms on the top of my chair.

"Yeah it’s just, my brothers are in town and I never told them about us or about us being engaged.” I told him. I wasn't lying about that.

"Well, were they mad?" he asks.

"Uhmm, no actually they were really happy for us." I say.
