"Taz!" February yelled as Taz sharply turned around to face two of her room mates looking at her with a smirk.

"Sì?" Taz says walking toward her.

"Sit." February said.

"No." Taz snapped.

"Taz." She said like a mother.

"February."

"Come over and sit here."

"Why?"

"We wanna talk to you." February said nudging Abby.

"Fine." Taz said rolling her eyes and crossed her arms, "what?"

"Are you and Up a thing?" Abby asked.

"No, jou already asked this." She sighed, "get it through jour brain. we are just friends." Taz replied.

"Oh sure!" February added.

"Do you at least like him?" Abby asked.

This kind of question ran in Taz's head. She thought different than her heart. "No, I don't, like I said, we are friends." Taz said.

"Real good friends." February joked.

Taz couldn't hold it any longer, "Best friends." Taz said quickly and sharply. She wanted to take it back but it was too late. She didn't know why she wanted to keep it secret, maybe because being too close to the teacher was like being a teacher's pet, but even worse that they think you're dating them... just wrong.

"Wait.... Hold on. If Up is your best friend... And he's the Lieutenant... You're best friends with the Lieutenant?" February took years to figure out.

"What an idiot." Taz thought. "Yes. Me and Up go... Back." She wanted to take that back too, but yet again, she couldn't take it back and she couldn't stop.

"Back? When did you met?" Abby asked.

This was the one question Taz couldn't answer. She would cry. She couldn't say that they met at her Quinceañera where he saved her life from attacking robots. "I can't answer that." Taz snapped.

"No, tell us. When-" February started.

"-I can't answer that." Taz interrupted louder.

"Oh, okay." Abby sad, "it's fine. I was just won-"

"I know." Taz said, "I think I'm gunna go for a bit."

"Okay, see ya later Taz." February said.

Taz walked over to her bed, grabbed her book, and walked out of the room. She walked down the hallway, stopped, and sat there criss-crossed. She opened her book and started to read the next chapter.

Taz was out there for a while, reading, enjoying herself. Getting lost in a good book was actually one of her favorite things. Back home that was her favorite thing to do. She didn't have much to do than beat up anybody that got in her way or called her "weak" or "a chicken." She proved them wrong fast.

As Taz read she heard foot steps coming closer... and closer...

*STOMP STOMP - STOMP STOMP*

Taz continued reading. She didn't bother with the other people around campus.

Soon she felt a push at her shoulder. She looked up to see a tall boy around the age of eighteen. "Awe little baby reading?"

"Go away." Taz snapped.

"Oooooo... Feisty." A boy next to him said that also looked the same age.
