I walk into homeroom the next morning, to see Ethan sitting in his chair talking to Desiree, a girl in our class. This is awkward because I am not sure if Ethan knows I am in his homeroom or not. He hasn't mentioned it to me or anything so I assume he doesn't know.

I was debating whether to go say hi or pretend not to see him, when we locked eyes. Pretending not to see someone, was my way of getting out of awkward conversations and potential embarrassing moments. I never really know what to say when I see someone, I am somewhat friends with. Do I smile? Give them a hug? Say hi and walk over there? The possibilities are endless and I over complicate everything.

I didn't have much time to think about what to do about it when Ethan waved me over.

There is no turning back now.

"Hey, Skylar!"

"Hey, Ethan."

"I don't know if you two know each other but this is Desiree."

"Oh hey, I'm Skylar," I say giving her a smile.

She gives me a glare and rolls her eyes. Alrighty then. Ethan opens his mouth to say something, then closes it.

"Uhm, well I'll see you around," I say to Ethan. Well, that is not how I wanted that to go. I go take a seat next to Mae.

"Hey gurl."

Mae and I have actually gotten really close. I mean we have 3 classes together, so we bonded over complaining about work and her telling me about all the drama. She is someone who is really "in the know" and pretty much knows about everything and anything that happens at this school. From what I've seen, she has a lot of friends and is well liked, which is easy to see. She is super friendly and funny.

The door opens and Mrs. Jones walks in. Ah what a joy. She is a terrible teacher (not to mention a terrible person) and pretty much everyone hates her.

"Everyone to their seats."

Homeroom is a 10 minute informational period where the teacher reads the daily bulletin and talks about upcoming events for the school. And then eventually after those 10 long minutes, starts first period which is English. At my last school, you would leave for your next class, but here you just stay with your homeroom teacher for first period.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

English was boring and long, but a plus is that Mrs. Jones is letting us hang and talk for the rest of the period which is like 5 minutes. 

I am cleaning up all my stuff and shoving my binder into my backpack, when Ethan comes up to me.

"Hey sorry about Desiree, she doesn't really like new people I guess," He seemed nervous that I was mad. I am not because he didn't really do anything wrong. This isn't the first time this has happened. With Ethan yes but, it seems like all the popular girls have it out for me and I don't know why.

"It's okay, I guess I am used to it," I say smiling.

"What do you mean?" He asks concerned.

"Nothing," I wanted to change the subject, "What is your next class?"

His face lightened up, "Athletic p.e, today we are working on football plays. You should come on friday, everyone is coming."

"Katie said something about the game. I think we are all going." I say with a smile.

With that the bell rings and it is time for second period.


A/N: Alright so here is the thing. I wrote the first half of this book about a year ago and they all suck and I'm sorry. But the next couple of chapters I wrote more recently so they aren't as bad. So hang in there and trust me it gets better.

SO to make up for such a horrible and trash chapter double upload:)
