COLBY BROCK

"dude what was that all about, why did you and lexi not follow me into the class room?" i said as brennen, jake and i walked to our next class, which was bio.

"relax bro, we were talking about all us hanging out, she was gonna ask you but she knows you would say no because sam would be coming."

"oh, i mean of course i would say no, she just doesn't understand what he's done to me the past two years. he's mentally and physically hurt me, he makes me do his damn homework, and he's not even nice once it's done. he pushes me and calls me names he's just not a good guy. and she just doesn't understand. i just wish she would."

"colby, have you told her everything he's done? maybe there's a reason for it, maybe he has his own problems at home." jake stated.

"yeah maybe." i rolled my eyes while we walked into our class.

i sat down at my seat and jake followed, brennen's assigned seat was across the room so we had to part ways with him.

"alright class, i would just like to say that, adam, our top student has gone off to college already, lets see some of you smart things do that." the teacher started.

LEXI GRAFF

i sat down in my chair and turned my phone on. i had two texts from an unknown number.

hey this is brennen
colby asked about why we didn't
follow him into the class
room and he got pretty upset,
i ended up tellin him y and
he said that you don't understand the whole
situation between them two,
i told him to tell you about everythin and
he's probably gonna wanna talk to you.

alright, is it bad? like is he really mad at you?

no, he was just paranoid that
you were only talking to me i think

alright, thanks for letting
me know, maybe he'll
bring somethin up at lunch

maybe

i shut my phone off and saw the teacher looking at me from across the room. "take a picture, it'll last longer." i said

the teacher rolled his eyes and looked back down at his paper on his desk.
