Run.

And that's what I did. I ran. After the twins said that I turned and darted out of the cafeteria as fast as I could. I mean that was just creepy and not in the good way, more like in the bad horror movie, about to be slashed into pieces by the killer creepy, or like there's a demon and its coming to haunt your ass.

I just ran out the doors, down the hall and down to the court yard. Breathe Alice, breathe.

"Hey! Alice what happened?" I turn to see my friends running towards me with worried expressions.

"Yeah what the crap Alice, you were fine one minute talking to the guys and then we see you dart out of the cafeteria." Mia says stopping to breathe. Oops. I forgot about leaving them behind. Bad Alice bad.

"Sorry guys I was talking to them and then the tweetles? I think did this really creepy twin thing and really weird voice thing and it was like from a horror movie and I just- you know ran. Sorry." They just laugh at me. What?

"Alice that's what they do, they always do that. There is a very rare time they don't talk together, their parents can't break them of it. They did it just to creep you out." Zoey explains.

"Well I know that....NOW!" I spout as my friends continue to laugh at me. I pout, I mean how was I supposed to know. The girls straighten up from there giggles, and then look at me.

"Look Alice its fine the twins do it to everyone. Don't feel bad." Hazel says as she sits down on the bench. I sigh. Now they probably think I'm weird or stupid. Great. The bell rings signaling lunch is over and that I have to go to my next class. Joy.

I get up and walk out of the courtyard and walk to my class and sit down. Writing. My favorite class. We're learning about Shakespeare and a few poems from Edgar Allen Poe. I love it. Everyone files in and the bell rings meaning class has started. The teacher walking and everyone goes quiet.

"Okay class today im partnering you all in groups of 8. I'm having 4 groups and you're all going to do a project that's worth Half of your final grade. There are different parts to the project that's why there's groups. I'll hand out papers about what all has to be done once I make your groups." The teacher says. Everyone groans. Ahh feel the love.

The teacher picks up the clip board and starts reading off names. "Okay so the first group is Aiden, Alice, Cyrus, Dylan, Drak-Yes Aiden?"

"Well im not working with that dumbass your about to put with the group so I don't know why you don't just put me and my friends together and then add another person." He snaps at the teacher. The teacher sighs and looks back down at the clip board.

"Fine fine. New group. Aiden, Cyrus, Dylan, Jacob, James, Tobias, and....."The teacher looks back down at the clip board and I can see their eyes scan down the list of names. "Alice." Oh. Whos alice I wonder who gets to-wait, im alice. Poo. Why me what did I do to get punished. I whine in my head.

"Alice your not being punished its just you have one of the few highest grades in this class and those boys do not so maybe they'll actually get work done." The teacher states. Hm? OMG! Did I just say-

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean Alice? I thought we were friends?" I turn around in my seat to see Tobias or hatter pouting at me. Omg. I actually said that out loud.

"No, no! i-I didn't mean it like that i-its just, I personally would rather work alone then in a group i-I don't like to socialize with people. And e-every time I'm in a group i-I end up doing all the work. Its nothing against you guys i-I swear." I defend waving my hands in a panic. I didn't mean to say that out loud.

"Ohhh She swears!" Hatter jokes back. Dylan just face palms.

"A-and I umm.. the twins kinda creeped me out." I say shyly. I mean come on that just like horror movie creepy.

"Don't worry Alice they wont do it again and you wont be doing all the work by yourself I promise." Cyrus says looking back down at his watch. "You can come to my place at 7 sharp, don't be late." He states as he writes down his address on a piece of paper and hands it to me. "7 Sharp." He reassures. I nod.

"Okay well all the groups have been announced, if you have a problem you have to deal with it now. And get in your groups so I can hand everyone a paper on the list of things you need to do for the project." The teacher starts to hand out the papers I move over a little towards the boys. Hatter grabs the leg of my chair and pulls me closer.

I squeak at the sudden jerk, and then blush at the noise I just made because that's something Zoey does when she's mad. Yeah She doesn't yell or anything she gets mad and makes a face then just squeaks and then goes off into a rant squeaking every once in a while.

Hatter just chuckles at my noise. The teacher gets to our groups and hands me the paper. I look down at the list of things we have to do.

"Hm, who want what?" Dylan asks. Looking up from his paper.

"Alright class you've got your groups so talk and decide amongst yourselves who's doing what and that's all for today. These projects are due at the end of this month." The teacher says and then walks out of the room. Wow.
