After school ended, I see Selene walking out the art classroom. She obviously spots me and turns the other direction. I quickly run up to her.

"Hey, is everything okay?"

"What do you want from me?"

I won't turn you in. I promise that. You're right about me only hanging out with people in my clique. I want to change it up" I give her a genuine smile.

"Fine..." she hesitantly says
