Bailey's breakdowns had been more frequent over the occurring weeks, Drew helping her through each one. But it had gotten to the point where she had taken a few days off school to get herself to together, it had done her a little bit of good. She walked into the school with Tony, her hand in his. Though they didn't last long together as the girl was swept away by her group, leaving her to wave at the boy as she was dragged up the hall.

'Yo, Alex,' She called when she spotted the now familiar platinum blonde.

He had become increasingly apart of the group as the days wore on, and it didn't cause any issues because everyone loved him. He was funny and incredibly smart, as well as easy to get along with; something that they were all glad for.

'Hey, Bailey,' He greeted.

'How many times do I have to tell you, Alex, just call me Bay,' She said as she wrapped an arm around him.

'Sorry. Sorry.'

'No worries.'

She smiled at him, before looking over at Zach as he spoke to Justin.

'Hey, Zee. Did you do the math homework?' She asked.

'Uh, no. I was hoping you did?' Zach answered with wide eyes.

'And you were right.'

She chuckled as he sighed in relief, the girl removing her arm from around Alex when Jess joined the large group; confused when the blonde didn't move to grab her hand. She waved it off as she sat downat the table, pulling out her math book for Zach to copy before she sat on her table; putting her feet on the seat as she spoke to the boy. As she looked around, Jess had disappeared with Alex; a slight smirk coming onto her lips.

'Everyone, Hot or Not, who's helping?' Monty asked as he approached the group.

'I say the new kid. What's his name again? Oscar?' Bryce added as he did the same.

'It's Alex. Come on, man. He's been sitting with us for weeks now,' Justin rolled his eyes.

'You helping us again this year?'

'Yeh, why not?'

'Can we put Matthews on it this time?' Scott joked.

'Only if you want your head bashed in,' Drew smirked as he sat beside his sister and took her hand in his.

'Damn, man. Come on. She'd only be on the good side,' Monty tried to persuade them; 'Best arse, tits, face, lips, body.'

'You put me on there, Montgomery, you won't just have to worry about Drew,' Bailey sent him a pointed look.
