----The Next Day (Tuesday)-----

You know those days when you literally can't be bothered to do anything? Today is one of those days and I honestly feel like a zombie that hasn't had any brains to eat. I'm pretty sure I look like a zombie too, which trust me, is highly unattractive. To add to my list of problems, it's Tuesday. A school day. I know how I said I want to do good in school and have a good academic life but I miss not having to do any work, messing with the other students and annoying the teachers. I also believe it or not, miss Troy. Yeah, we had fights but it was so fun watching him lose and I prefer him to the three douchebags that I half blame for my shitty life. 

I reluctantly got out of my bed and turned off my alarm before checking my phone. I had three texts, 2 from Crystal and 1 from Drake.

Crystal: hey, it's so different without you! well, kinda. a little. Lol, how are you Astrid? Derek tells me that the douchebags go to the same school with you and that Kyle was adopted by the same parents as you. Do they annoy you? 

Crystal: Btw, if you don't answer me I will find you, torture you, eat a cookie and then kill your lovely bf. SO YOU BETTER START ANSWERING ME YOU LITTLE TWAT! Love you xx

Wow. I can't believe she called me a twat! I was asleep, it is not my fault! 

To Crystal: I'm not a twat! and they don't annoy me too much, just a little bit. Okay, that was a lie. I hate the so much!! But I'm doing good, made some friends. I swear, I always attract the weirdos, no offense! 

Now to check what Drake sent me, I hope it's about Jed a little bit, I haven't really heard much about how he was doing. Maybe Drake will know why Jed was calling Derek yesterday. It was a bit strange, I mean, Derek would of hung up but they actually talked for quite a while and they have never got along. 

Drake: Hey Astrid, what are you up to nowadays? Sorry I haven't managed to text you sooner, things are quite hectic around here. Are you doing alright? I hope no one is giving you trouble. 

Aw, that was sweet. What does he mean by things are hectic. Do Jed and Sam still fight with each other? I'd love to see how things were back there for myself but I can't risk getting caught and Derek would probably yell at me. Oh well, I can always just skype the guys so we can see each other or maybe arrange a meeting place. Besides, if my own brother can't recognise my pranks or my voice who is to say they will recognise me by my looks.

Forgetting about them, I walked over to my mirror to do my hair and slight make up before getting changed. I wore simple black skinny jeans, a crop top and vans. Once I decided that I looked a bit less than a redheaded brain starved zombie, I grabbed my skateboard and headed downstairs to the kitchen where everyone but Carly and Justin was. Should I ask Xander about him and Derek again? They look like they knew each other from before and they certainly acted like it but Derek would tell me, wouldn't he?

"Hey, um, Xander can I please talk to you for a minute?" I asked him. Everyone looked up at me as I entered the room and then went back to what they were doing. 

"Yeah, of course," he smiled. We walked over to another room that looked like an office and he shut the door. "What did you want to talk about?"

"How do you really know Derek?" I asked him. There really is no point in saying more than what I needed to ask.
