  Aliah's POV
  I hesitated.
  "Get out!" Mr. Burden screamed at me. He had Demonica walk me to the principal's office.

***************************************************************
  "Aliah M., are you crazy?" I tapped my finger on my chin in thought.
  "No. I'm insane." I said. The principal, Mrs. Lehman, frowned. Her name is pronounced like Mrs. Lemon and it always makes more since to call her that.
  "Aliah, do I need to call your parents?" She looked at me, waiting for answer.
  "Well, that's pretty much impossible." I sighed
  "No its not." Mrs. Lemon lifted the corners of her mouth, forcing a small smile.
  "It is, since they d-died. In a house fire, and I live with my grandparents now. If you really want to call them, you have to crawl up to the gates of heaven and hand God the phone." I explained. It was silent for a moment, as if Mrs. Lemon was processing that information. Probably, she was thinking about for a second.
  "Oh, Aliah. I'm afraid I still have to give the referral." She smiled as she said this, as if she loved to just hand them out on a silver platter. "It will be for, hmmmm, taking pictures of people on school ground without their permission and posting to the public. That also includes the fact that you must delete the picture from In-instagram." She said Instagram like she had trouble saying the word, which made me giggle.
  "Ma'am, I know you might not know but, Mr. Burden isn't a person, he is an alien, so that would be false, I wasn't taking pictures of a person without permission. And also, Mrs. Lemon, you should also have the knowledge, that the photo was not posted on Instagram publicly, but privately for only my eyes to see." I smiled and looked at Mrs. Lemon for a response.
  "And you will also be getting an add-on for talking back." She smiled. Her perfect white teeth glistened in the light and I just wanted to knock them out of her mouth. "Bye, now." She said, interrupting my train of thought. She waved her hand towards the door, pointing me out. I sighed and left.

  As I walked down the hallway to lunch later, Brody came up to me with a gift bag.
  "Open this at lunch." He said. He pecked me on the lips. "Told you so. I just wasn't ready yet."
  "Meet me at lunch if you don't want this," I held up the gift bag. "In the trash."
  "Okay, see you there!" He sort-of-squealed. I laughed as he ran to Travon in excitement as he went down the stairs.
  I rubbed the kiss off. Brody's lips were so soft. This gift bag was adorable. What's in it?
  Just then, Demonica ran up to me, jumped up and down and squealing. I slammed my locker door.
  "How many times do I have to tell you not to squeal when you get excited?" I asked, brushing my hair aside.
  "Omg, he kissed you? What was it like?" She continued to squeal.
  "I swear, Demon, if you squeal one more time, I will break your legs off." I said. She stared at me for a second, waiting for me to answer her. "It wasn't bad." I smirked. "I actually didn't mind it. And, oooh, he got me a gift. I have to meet him at lunch to open it."
  "Great!" She struts away, towards Travon, squealing. I swear I'm going to kill that girl.
