"Mads!"
"Madeline!"
"Maddie!"
I heard a buzz through my ear phones, which were blaring 'Stacey's Mom' into my ears. I take out my headphones and turn around. Running at top speed across the school car park, was my best three friends Haiven (Haven) Xavier (zavier) and Natalie.

I instantly drop my books and start running. I jump into the arms of my friends, and we collapse onto the ground laughing and crying.

"OMG!!!! Maddie, the past 3 months have been pure torture with out you," cried Xavier, Then he turned to Haiven and Natalie"No offense,"

I wipe the tears from my eyes and say "I'm so sorry. Quenten got sick while we were in Venice, and he couldn't travel, so we had to stay,"

Xavier's jaw drops, "Hottie alert!! Don't look now, but here comes Noah Stone and his equally gorgeous friends," squeals Xavier. We all crane our necks and see Noah and his group of very good looking idiots, Tyler Russell, the Emo and Jackson Smith, unbelievably gorgeous, and super smart.
"I said don't look," squealed Xavier.

But what really caught my eye was Noah Stone. The coolest most popular guy in school, with amazing hair, and beautiful brown eyes..... no! No! No! Noah Stone is a big, rude pig!

"And you'll never guess who I hung out with for most of the summer. Tyler Russell!!! The Emo Hottie. I dunno if he's gay or not, but either way, he's mine," Xavier said, waggling his finger in front of his face.

Haiven and I just laughed. "Oh Xavier, never fear, love is around the corner for you," whispered Haiven, pointing over to Tyler, who was looking over at us. Xavier blushed and waved.

*Ding Ding*
I didn't want to be late for my first day back at school, so I quickly gathered up my books, and quickly walked into school.

30 mins later.....
Ugh... just 10 more minutes of French then I can leave. A note is placed on the desk in front of me. I carefully un fold it, and inside is written
'Come Celebrate me and Noah's 1 month anniversary tonight at 6 pm.
                                   Lacey ×××'

So, their the new couple. Huh. But Lacey. Her, of all people.

*Ding Ding*
I quickly leave the room, avoiding eye contact from everyone else, and waiting by my locker is no one else, but Tyler Russell.

"Hi," he says,looking up from his phone.

"Hello," I reach for my locker.

"Ummm.... so do you know Xavier?" What a stupid question for him to ask.

I think about it for a couple of seconds, before coming up with my smart answer, "No, I'm afraid I don't know this Xavier. Who is this Xavier actually? I've never heard of him, it's not like he's been my best friend for like ever,"

He scowls at me before saying, "So you do know him," I nod," is he single?"

What! He's asking if my best friend is single!! Does that mean he likes him?! "Wait, don't you wanna ask if he's gay?"

"Trust me, I already know he's gay," he laughed.

"Well yes he is single. And ready to mingle," I add. He stares at me for a few minutes, then leaves.

I spin around to see Xavier and Haiven walking towards me. But no Natalie.

"Were you just talking to Tyler?" Asks Xavier. "You better not be trying to steal him off of me!"

"Mabey. And i am not trying to steal him, so dont get your knickers in a twist. Anyway, were you invited to the anniversary party tonight?"

"Yeah, Noah came up and asked us personally," nodded Haiven, seemingly very privileged.

"Oh I got handed a note by Lacey,"

"Okay well, everyone's coming up to my house at 4 to start getting ready," Haiven says, then grabs her books. We all go our separate ways to our next classes.
