All through school I felt as if I was being watched. Honestly it freaked me out. I managed to avoid almost all conversation until Demi caught me in the bathroom during the last period before school ended.

"Hey. Where have you been?" She asked, placing a hand on my arm. I shook my head, "What do you mean? We had gym together." She gave me a look. "Yeah you were there but you weren't there,"she said pointing to my head. "Don't give me that 'oblivious' act. Spill. Now." I stared at her for a moment before coming clean. "It bothers me that the note was inside my locker. And my mom didn't drive me to school so there's no way anyone could've seen me roll my eyes at her. I just have a weird feeling, I guess."

My head dropped as if I were embarrassed about what I just said. Demi gave me a sympathetic smile. "I get it. I guess it is weird. Sorry I brushed it off," she said with an apologetic hug. "It's okay. I'll call you later," I answered. She nodded, fist pumped me, and headed out the bathroom. I stayed until I heard the bell ring.

Once the sea of students had cleared the halls, I made my way to the freshman hall to pick up Anica. As I was about to turn the corner, I saw her standing at her locker with a boy. He had his back turned to me mc so I couldn't see his face. They were whispering about something, so I decided to listen in.

"Please. Just this once," the boy begged.
"Why should I? Do it yourself!" Anica whisper-yelled at him. I didn't recognize the voice. Maybe he's the new guy Demi was talking about.
"Well then I'll have to get her my way." The guy stormed off in a huff.. I quickly walked up to her.

"Anica. Hey," I greeted.
"Oh hey Bianca... wh-what's up?" Anica said nervously.
"I walk you to the car everyday, doofus," I answered while rolling my eyes, "Josh is probably waiting for us now and he hates waiting."
"Alright lets go," she said laughing suspiciously.

The walk to the car was silent. Neither of us spoke a word. My thoughts were moving at a hundred miles per hour.

Who was that boy? Who was he talking about? Anica has three sisters including me. I mean Sammi is in kindergarten so I doubt that was about her. Whatever we have three older brothers. I'm sure we're fine.

Once we got to the parking lot, I saw my mom's Escalade sitting by the curb.

"Are we staying with you or dad tonight?" I asked mom as she strapped in my youngest siblings, Samantha and Samuel, back into their car seats. "Dad. He doesn't have to work and I think Jamie will be there too. Stop sweetie. You need to be strapped in."
"Ugh. I don't like that lady," I say while rolling my eyes. "I don't understand why he ever married her. Not to mention have kids with her... no offense guys. I'm sorry you all come from her poisoned womb. "I say half-regretting my words. My half siblings Jason, Zach, and Beth only rolled their eyes. "Where's Josh? I thought he was picking us up?" I asked, trying to change the subject. "He's working," my mom answered. "Oh."

As we pulled into the driveway, we thanked my mom for the ride and began exiting the car. I put my backpack on before picking up the twins. We all said "goodbye" and walked inside only to find dad kissing Jamie.
