"How may I help you?" "I need my schedule and locker number." "What's your name?" "Tyler Wentz." The reception lady handed me my things and I followed AJ and Max out the door. They had theirs sent to Josh's and Pete completely forgot I was alive. "It looks like they put you on our floor." The high school is built so that each grade has its own floor. "Yeah. I had skipped a grade. I'm technically an eleventh grader." About 2 weeks before this, the school contacted me and asked if I would like to skip tenth grade. Obviously I was ecstatic and said yes. "That's amazing! How many classes do we have together." I smiled cheekily at my friend and his boyfriend. "My first period is art and I know exactly where that is. We have 3, 4, 6, and 7 together." I waved at the receding boys and I walked to art, hoping I wouldn't be late. I walked in a few minutes before the bell rang and the class looked empty except a few people. "Good morning Mrs. Wentz." "Good morning Mr. Byers. How was your summer?" "Good, you?" I shrugged and sat in the back. "We're going to start a project that will last us the whole year. The school wants murals painted on the walls all around the school. I have 3 advanced art classes, you will each take 4 walls to paint." "What are our options?" "I picked them for you." I chuckled as the rest of the class groaned. "Tyler you have the music walls, meaning orchestra, band, choir, and song writing." I smiled at the thought of letting my music side take over. I tuned out the rest of it and thought of the things I could paint.

"You have all year and you are allowed to skip lunch to paint. You start tomorrow." He released us and I practically skipped from the room. "What's got you so happy?" I looked up at Max, who I had second and fifth period with. "Our art assignment this year is painting murals on the schools walls. I got the music section of the school." He looked happy. "That sounds so fucking amazing. Josh will be so excited." He knew how I felt about people mentioning Pete. "I'm so excited to tell Patrick, he'll literally punch someone out of excitement." Max chuckled and we took our seats next to each other in the back. "Welcome to AP Chem. Whoever you're sitting next to is your partner so familiarize yourself. Play 20 questions or something. You have the class period." I looked at Max and he had this shit eating grin on his face. "Jokes on her, we already know each other." He winked at me, causing me to fall out of my chair with laughter. "Is there a problem?" I shook my head and took Max's hand, so he could pull me up. "Hey Ty? Do you sing?" I shrugged and looked out the window. "Can you sing for me?" I sighed. The last person to hear me sing was Oliver and he basically pushed me out the window saying fuck your heart. "I guess I can, it's not very good though." Max started to play a Melanie Martinez song quietly. I sang the song quietly, but loud enough for Max to hear. I didn't know he was recording though. "That was amazing and I'm totally showing Tyler and Josh." "You didn't take a video." He nodded, a mischievous smile on his face.

"You're lucky I love you, I would've punched you." "Why're you so insecure about your voice?" "I'm sure you know that I have depression and anxiety. The last person to hear me sing was my ex boyfriend." I didn't really tell Max or AJ about Oliver and I don't really want to. He patted my back and we both started to get up, as the bell just rang. We met up with AJ by our lockers before going to third period. "Welcome to Pre-Cal. I am your teacher Mr. Hood and today I just want you to get to know your classmates. There should three seated at a table and those people will be your table mates and friends in this class." I smiled at my two friends and we just talked about a things, as we already knew each other. "How was second?" Max looked at me and shrugged. "I got a video of this pastel beauty singing. I'm going to make you a hit baby." I chuckled and he showed AJ the video. "Damn girl. Oh by the way, Patrick texted Josh and Josh texted me to see if it was cool if you would stay the night at ours." I nodded and tilted my head in confusion. "The text says 'hey is it cool with Ty if she stays at ours tonight, Pete is in one of his moods again and Pat doesn't want Ty more scared of him.'" I sighed and rubbed my cheek. "I'm cool with it. I just need stuff from my house. We can go to mine and Josh can pick us up. I'm used to Pete's moods, just don't say anything to him and he won't acknowledge your existence."
