Chapter Fifteen

 "I swear to the Moon Goddess if you don't clear me to go to school, I'm going to kill you myself," Nicole says glaring at Andra. Andra looks up at her with a sad look. "No, no. See I'm healthy, I've been eating food....Oh, I even slept for an hour last night. I..um..I'm good." She says and Andra laughs.

"You're fine to go." She says and Nicole jumps at her.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." She says and Andra laughs hugging her back. "You have no idea how boring it's been for the past week. Not much to do around here." She says knowing Andra thinks she's a crazy woman.

"Small problem," Max says and she looks up at him. "There's not enough room in your car for all of us."

"Maddie can sit on my lap." She says and they kinda chuckle at her. "I'm not staying here for one more boring hour. There are only so many times you can clean and play the same games." She says looking over at Andrew.

"Alright, let's go then," Max says. Nicole picks up Maggie and starts talking to her.

"You're goin' to daycare because I get to go ya school." She says with a smile on her face. Maggie, just being woken up doesn't seem to care and goes back to sleep on her shoulder. When they get to the car Nicole puts Maggie in her car seat and then lets Andra take the middle seat. She then gets in and pats her legs. Maddie laughs and climbs in. The two manage to buckle their seatbelt and get comfortable.

Once Maddie and Maggie are dropped off at daycare Max heads to their high school. Nicole doesn't get halfway through her first hour, which is science, before wishing she was back home. "I forgot how much this sucks." She whispers to Andra. Andra just laughs and continues to write notes.

During history, Nicole rests her eyes not caring one bit. She walks down to writing with Mason and when she gets in the class Rose jumps up and hugs her. "Girl, I can't believe you're finally back. Took you long enough." She says with a smile. Nicole smiles and nods her head.

"Alright, settle down class. Your papers are due in less than three weeks. Let's get some work done." Nicole forgot about that and groans.

"And because of you we have to write like eight pages." She grumbles pulling out her notebook.

"And a half." She looks over at him confused. "It's eight and a half." He says. She glares at him and slaps him with her notebook. "Hey, that was uncalled for Nikki." He says playfully glaring over at her. She grumbles under her breath and opens her notebook. She laughs reading the things she'd put in it. "I already have five pages done." He whispers. She grabs her notebook and begins hitting him again.

When class is over Nicole has only managed to get the front side of her first page because Andrew kept distracting her and she kept hitting him. "Careful, she's violent today," Andrew warns Mason as he walks her down to her next class.

"Only at him." She says with a glare. Andrew laughs before walking off to his next class.

"So, you two have become good friends," Mason says as they take their seats. She looks over at him suspiciously.

"Yeahhh, so?"

"Nothing, just kinda funny." He says and she looks at him confused.

"Why is it funny?" She asks and he shrugs thinking of a lie to come up with.

"You seemed to hate him when you first moved here, now you two are like best friends." He says knowing that's the closest truth to it. She nods her head but thinks he's hiding something. Their teacher walks in distracting her away from Mason. Mason smiles to himself and begins copying her notes onto his own paper.
