Sara has been suspended for beating me up. Coach Allen told the principal everything else that happened, too. She has detention every day for a month when she gets back.

Nick went back to Miami for filming two days ago. I miss him, but I'm also used to him leaving now.

"This science project is so dumb," Isabelle sighs. "Yeah, I don't get it," I say.

"Nobody does, screw it," Jillian says, throwing her pencil on the floor.

"We have to do it at some point," Isabelle points out. "Yeah. It's due in 2 months. Let's wait a month," Jillian says.

"I'm fine with that," I say. Isabelle nods, closing her binder and setting on my shelf.

"You miss Nick," Jillian says. "And?" I ask.

"You should go to Miami," she laughs.

"I don't have the money, Jilly," I say.

"He'd be so happy, though. I can see the look on his face right now," Isabelle smiles.

I slam my phone down.

Nick just texted me, saying that until he's going to be home for awhile, we need to break up.

I get dressed and walk into school. I go to my locker.

"How's your boyfriend?" Sara mocks. Oh yeah. She's back today.

I don't answer. I continue putting my books in my locker.

"Answer me, Jensen," she snaps. "We broke up," I mumble.

"What?" Adriana asks. They really didn't hear me. "We broke up," I say.

"Oh, yes!" Sara cheers. "Finally. Now he's mine!"
