it was monday. which meant - we were going to dissect the frog. the experiment was postponed by one week because there seemed to be some issue getting the frogs. 

i walked to biology and sat down next to sadie, who was on her phone. "hey sadie" she quickly - too quickly - shoved her phone in her pocket. i cocked an eyebrow. "who was that?" i questioned. "uh, no one!" 

mr. justice strut into the classroom and immediately, everyone straightened their posture. i copied their actions. "good morning class, as you all know, we will be dissecting the frogs today. please, one person from each pair come up and collect a corpse" it was as if he wanted to force the puke out of our mouths. 

"i'll go" i said reluctantly to sadie. when i was at the front of the room, i saw noah outside of the classroom, doing who knows what. i looked at him and he covered his mouth and started laughing. i rolled my eyes and waved the frog at him and walked back to sadie.

"why were you waving the dead frog around? you're lucky mr. justice didn't see that" sadie laughed. "that kid that sits at our lunch table, noah was laughing at me for having a dead frog in my hand" "he's not the 'kid that sits at our lunch table', he's your friend" 

"yeah, okay" we listened to the instructions. i put two gloves on each hand, goggles and a scarf to cover my neck and mouth, in case some of the ju- never mind.

i looked at millie and harvey and they were obviously messing around. i could tell millie really just wanted to get it done, but harvey was the reason she wasn't. "why doesn't mr. justice do anything?" i asked sadie.

"i really don't know. maybe because he's one of those rich kids and popular, so i guess his parents could like get him into trouble" "woah, he's that rich?" "yeah, he's nicknamed 'the gold digger' too, pretty ironic, as he is basically the richest kid in the year, maybe even the school"

"millie wasn't even the one who was into him. he was, then i think she just convinced herself that she was into him." "aw, poor millie" this situation immediately reminded me of my home situation; where my mom seemed to be under this kind of spell around tony.

i guess i zoned out, because next thing i know, "ms. l/n! are you paying attention?" mr justice snapped. "huh? oh, uh yes sir" i heard a few kids snigger, earning a glare from mr justice which shut them up.

it was lunch, and i walked over to our usual table. gaten, finn and sadie were already there. sadie was typing on her phone secretively; back hunched, phone under the table, looking down. finn and gaten were talking opposite her, assuming she was texting her friends. 

"hey guys" i sat down next to sadie, who once again, immediately stuffed her phone into her phone.

"noah said he had to skip lunch to study in the library" gaten scoffed. "very believable" i laughed and caleb arrived, sitting next to sadie. "hey dude" finn said. "hiya" he sat down and took his lunch out, looking at sadie and vice versa.

i went onto the cadie group chat.
