three weeks, my brain can't properly comprehend all the changes yet. i've gotten to form friendships with some incredible people, for a small ass town it's quite fun to just hang out at places.

2nd period millie, caleb, noah and i sat in a circle in the music rooms all holding paper with guitar tabs caleb was examining the paper trying to form chords, the guitar was extremely out of tune and caused him to become frustrated, i've never really known how to play guitar so i couldn't really help him. i played drums from the age of 4 but i haven't touched a kit since i was 11.

"fuck! where's wolfhard when you need him." caleb huffs and looks at millie who was playing bass.

"careful ms ryder will beat your ass man." noah says sarcastically and glances up from his guitar and chuckles.

"here give me your guitar." noah takes the guitar and begins to tune it for him.

"thank you." he shrugs

we continued to practice when mrs ryder looked up from her computer and stood at the front of the class.

"okay guys, gals, and pals, let's make some music." mrs ryder smiles out to the class of about 20.

my phone vibrated in my pocket and it was a text from my dad

saDie i kno u r in class so im trying to text but. im gomna be working late tonight u have money on ur card and there food in the freezer, i'll see you tonight, i love you darling.
sincerely dad

i gave out a small chuckle. after music was over i made my way out the schools parking lot where finn and noah were sitting on the hood of finns car, it was an old car, it had 3 seats in the front and 3 in the back as well as the back area i walk towards them as they wave at me.

"sadie, sadie, sadie, what's going on here." finn puts his hand up to his forehead to block the sun.

"came for a smoke, i don't wanna get caught by teachers." i say as i pull out a cigarette from my bag.

"so what are y'all doing out here. I ask and put out the cigarette and chuck it in the nearby bin.

"ditching, wanna join us? millie,gaten and caleb were supposed to ask you to tag along, we're just gonna go sit down at the beach if you're down." finn smiles as i offer him the rest of my cigarette.

"fucking finally." noah yells out at millie gaten and caleb who were currently sprinting towards finns car.

"quick drive! mr wheeler caught on!" gaten screams. finns car didn't have the roof up so we all just jumped in over the doors, finn turned on the ignition and drove out of the parking lot quickly, when i turned my head back i saw mr wheeler shaking his fist at us, sat between millie and gaten, he was rapidly breathing."

"need an inhaler buddy?" finn looked at gaten trough his rear view window.

"fuck off i'm unfit man, it's so unfair all of you except noah smoke like a pack a day and i've got the worst lungs and i don't even smoke." gaten gasps

"beach?" caleb leans in between the front seats, the sound of noah's spotify playlist skipping rang through our ears.

"for fuck sake noah pick one fucking song and play it all the way through or i'll get out and walk." millie folds her arms agitatedly.
