Sorry this chapter took so long guys!! It's finally up, hope you enjoy!! Chapter three up soon!

Sean was tapping his pencil impatiently on his desk, waiting for the final bell. He could not wait to get home and smoke a bowl. He was way too stressed today, and he didn't even know why. There was this constant itch of irritation at the back of his mind. Everything annoyed him today, even his really hot Psychology teacher, Ms. Mini.

"Okay class," Ms. Mini began her lecture, "today we learn about Anxiety. Can anyone give me a brief definition?"

Several hands shot up, including Sean's. Despite being in a foul mood, Sean loved his Psychology class. It was one of the only classes where no math was involved. Plus, ever since he was a baby, he's always had a special talent of reading people. This class was a piece of cake.

"Sean?" Ms Mini looked at him, "Would you like to answer?"

Sean gave her his winning smile, "Anxiety is an intense emotional response caused by the precocious recognition that a repressed conflict is about to emerge into consciousness." Ms. Mini smiled. Sean felt a spark of confidence and continued, "In other words, it's a mental illness that some people have that causes you to freak the fuck out." The whole class chuckled.

"Okay," Ms. Mini's smile was gone. "that's enough. Sean," she raised an eyebrow. "see me after class."

Fuck.

Half an hour later, the final bell rang. Students rushed out the door, getting crushed in the process. Sean attempted to slip in with the other students and make a run for it.

"Sean," Ms. Mini caught his collar. "where do you think you're going?" her tone was teasing, but her face was snarky.

Sean sighed and sat down. He pressed two fingers against his temple and leaned his elbow on the table. He looked up at her. How can someone so sexy, be so bitchy?

"Yes, Ms. Mini?" Sean asked, annoyed.

"I don't like your tone," Ms. Mini started, "what has gotten into you today? Normally you aren't like this. Have you been okay?" She looked sincere, but Sean didn't want to put up with it today. He thought about telling her off, but decided against it. Sean sighed.

"I'm fine. Just a lot on my plate right now." He looked down and closed his eyes, fingers still on his temple. Ms. Mini looked sympathetic. She adjusted her tight skirt and sat on the table next to Sean. With a sigh that heaved her fulumptious chest, she decided to let him go. Sean swung his bag over his shoulder, stuffed his hands into his pockets, and walked out the door towards the parking lot.

Once Sean got to the bottom lot, he saw Audrey leaning against her yellow jeep. She was thumbing through her phone and playing with her key. Once she heard Sean's footsteps, she looked up and smiled. Her bright green eyes caught some sunlight and made Sean's heart skip. Audrey is the only girl that Sean has ever fallen for. She had this personality that separated her from any other girl. She was a bookworm, but she also knew how to hit a bong with no problem. She was the perfect woman for Sean.

There was only one problem. Audrey was a lesbian.

So for now, Sean settled for being her best friend. He climbed into her jeep and shut the door. The hood was down and the sun was pouring in. The chill of the day and the warmth of the sun was perfect. Sean opened the glove compartment and got his Ray Bans out and put them on. Audrey leaned into the car from the drivers side to look at her best friend.

"What's wrong?" Audrey always knew when something was wrong.

"Nothing. Why do you always assume something's up?" Sean snapped. Audrey raised an eyebrow at him. Sean back-peddled. "I'm sorry. It's just been a tough day." Audrey shrugged and climbed into her jeep. She put the keys in and got out her sunglasses. Before she slipped them on, she gave Sean one last look.

"You sure you don't want to talk about it?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Thanks Audrey. Let's just get to The Box before my brain implodes."

Audrey chuckled, put her seat-belt on and slipped on her Ray Bans. She reached across to Sean's side to pull out her cigarettes from the glove compartment. Once she lit herself one, she passed the box to Sean and he gladly took one out. He slipped out his lighter and lit it as she backed up. The radio blasted Nirvana as they skidded out the parking lot. The wind blew through the open-top and made Audrey's hair flap behind her like a fiery flag, causing Sean to gaze in awe. Audrey could sense his eyes.

"Sean," Audrey looked at her best friend, "seriously dude, what's going on with you?" she took a drag of her cigarette and turned the music down.

Sean looked up at the sky, wanting to be on the clouds. "I honestly don't know." His voice was sincere. "Today just sucked ass. I don't even know why, it just started out shitty." Sean turned his head to look at Audrey and made a face. Audrey laughed and made a face back. Sean smiled and leaned down to turn the music back up.

When they pulled up onto Sean's drive-way, you could already hear voices near the back fence. A sharp sting of aggitation played in the back on Sean's mind. Looks like everyone's here. Fucking perfect.

Audrey and Sean went through the house and opened up the screen door to the patio. Maggie, Sean's dog, shot outside to go greet the guests. Audrey went to go unlock the fence as Sean opened the doors to the Box. The smell of marijuana wafted through the air as the group made their way inside. Once everyone took their seats, papers and bowls began to be pulled out.

"Anyone got a Swisher?" asked Sean. Audrey handed him one. The Box was quiet as everyone was getting sorted. It was never this quiet. An awkward atmosphere began to settle on the group.

"So..." Vinny started, "How was everyone's day?"

No one said anything. Vinny looked uncomfortable. "Sean?" he pressed.

Sean shot him a look, a look that said Don't fucking talk to me, I'm still pissed off at you. Vinny tilted his head down like a puppy that knew he had done wrong. Sean went about doing his own thing, not caring about anyone else. Everyone else sensed his annoyance and slowly began to disperse after they were done smoking. One by one, everyone left, all but Audrey. She looked at Sean with sad eyes. Wishing she could comfort him, she scooted closer and put her hand on his knee. Heat flared up into Sean's cheeks. Heat, then anger. Sean stood up, glared at Audrey, and stomped back to the house, leaving Audrey there in confusion and hurt.

Audrey locked up the Box and looked up at Sean's bedroom window. She saw the light was on and was debating on going up there. She decided against it. She walked to the fence, gave one last glance towards the window, and left.

The rest of the night just consisted of Sean crying and screaming into his pillow. His head swirled with confusion. What the fuck is going on with me? Why the fuck did I do that? Eventually, Sean slipped away into his distant dreamland, still filled with confusion and pain.
