Cyrus' pov
*next day*
"Hey Jonah!" I say walking up to the table he was sitting at. Our school just implemented our study period (basically an hour lunch.) Jonah didn't look up from his tray.

"Heyy Jonah?" I say another time. He pops up surprised.

"Oh, Hey Cyrus!" Jonah says with a smile. I could tell his was forcing it.

"You tired today?"

"Uh Yeah... just a side affect." Jonah said.

Side affect?

"Side affect of what?" I ask. Jonah goes wide eyed.

"Did I say side affect? I meant to say side... Uh..."

"We'll talk later?"

"Yeah sure..." Jonah says awkwardly. He takes his fork and stabs it into his spaghetti.

"Hey friends!" Daniel says walking up with Andi right beside him.

"Whats up Danman!" Jonah said fist bumping him. Daniel sits next to Jonah and Andi sits next to me.

"Hey... uh... where's Buffy?" I ask. Andi shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know, we walked out of chemistry together but then when I turned around she was gone."

"Oh... wait there she is." I say. Buffy jogs over and slides in next to Daniel.

"Guys I have some great news!" She announced.

"What is it?" Andi asked.

"I am getting inducted into the Jefferson middle school hall of fame!"

Our entire table erupted into cheers. People around us didn't seem to care as the lunch room was already loud. In fact some even started clapping just to clap.

"We have to celebrate after school!" I say.

"Definitely!" Buffy says. Denise jogs over and taps Jonah on the shoulder.

"Oh, hey Denise!" Jonah says. "What's up?"

"Uh the sports coordinator wants to see you." She says. Jonah raises an eyebrow.

"Ok?" He says. He gets up from the table and follows Denise out of the cafeteria. Buffy leans in on the table.

"I not the only person getting honored."

Matias pov
Orchestra, one of my favorite classes or my worst nightmare depending on where I'm seated. Which is... first chair. Aw come on! This is my first time here and I'm already first chair. It would be nice to be in the back row every once in a while.

I take a seat in my assigned spot and start tuning my violin. A girl brown haired girl sits next to me. I could tell she was taking looks at me in the sides of my vision. While I was packing up my instrument in the back of the classroom she walked over.

"Uh h-hi..." She said. "My names Alison but people call me Ali."

"Cool! My names Matias."

"Were you here last year? Because I don't remember seeing you and trust me, I would have remembered."

"Uh no, I actually moved here over the summer." I say.

"Oh... from where?" Ali asks she takes a seat next to me.

"L.A. my dad is in the military."

"Cool! Both of my parents are military but I've surprisingly only had to move once." Ali said.

"Really from where?"

"London. I moved here in 5th grade."

"Wow. That's a distance." I say. She lets out a small laugh.

"Yeah..."

Ali and I talked all the way to the bell. She actually has been playing violin for as long as I have and is a big geography nut. I don't even know how we got on that topic but before we had to change classes she gave me her number so we could meet up some time and practice.

If it isn't obvious already... I pretty sure she likes me...

Jonah's pov
Me and Cyrus walked to his house to pick up Tj. We are going to mee Andi, Buffy, Daniel and Marty at the spoon to celebrate our spots in the Jefferson hall of fame. I had invited Matias but he said he was busy.

"Jonah." Cyrus said snapping me out of my thoughts. "I forgot to ask but at lunch what did you mean by side effects?"

Shoot I forgot he was going to ask me that...

"Uh... I've been to see one of your parents a couple of times and I've been prescribed anti-anxiety medication..." I say.

"Oh... well why didn't you just say that?" Cyrus says. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm just really embarrassed by it..."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed by... it won't stop people from being friends with you.... including me."

"Thanks Cyrus. I really needed to hear that."

"Just another service I provide."

Bex's pov
"You know Bowie... glaciers are melting and the one thing your most worried about is if this flower will grow?" I say. Bowie intensely eyes the brown pot.

"Yes I'm aware that the glaciers are melting and yes this flower is very important." He says.

"And why is this flower important? It like any other flower."

"Because Bex... this flower has the potential to grow a variety of colors, and one of those colors will be one of the colors of our wedding some day."

Ok ow...

"Really? I hope it'll be red. Can it be red?" I say. Bowie laughed.

"Of course it can be red. Will it? I don't know."

"Well..." I say leaning in near the pot. "Please be red..."

"I'm sure it will take your request into account." Bowie said. He sits two bowls of ramen down onto the table. "Let's feast."

Third person
"To Buffy and Jonah for their great accomplishment." Andi says raising her milk shake glass into the air. The group toasts with Andi."

"I'm so excited for the induction ceremony. My parents are going to be so surprised." Buffy said radiating with excitement.

"You know I was so close into getting in..." Tj says. "I didn't because I had a D in one of my classes."

"And what class was that?" Cyrus asked mischievously.

"Ha ha Cyrus."

"I'm glad that Ultimate Frisbee is starting to be taken seriously."

"Yeah, it's a great sport." Said Marty. "Even if the disk gets stuck in a tree for a half hour."

"And it wouldn't be possible with out our only official fan." Jonah said. Cyrus smiled. The door to the spoon chimed revealing Gus.

"Gus 12 o'clock." Buffy said. Cyrus' face dropped. Gus walked pass with out locking eye contact.

"Wow..." Daniel said. "I don't know what you said to him Cyrus but it looks like it had an effect."

"Yeah I guess it did." Cyrus said before resting his head on Tj shoulder.

"Trust me when I say this... you don't want to see Cyrus angry." Jonah said.

"Aw now I wish I was there..!" Buffy said.

"Why?" Marty asked.

"To see my little boy grow up..."
