Chapter 18

The next day at school was funky. First period was, well, first period and second period followed. Third period was the odd one. I had Physical Education that day and Health the next. When I walked into guy, this group of girls were staring at me and whispering. I walked past them and up to the teacher. She told me where to sit and gave me my gym uniform.

I walked of my assigned seat and sat down. Everyone was staring at me, as usual. But it was different this time. The group of gossipy girls walked up to me and put their hands out.

"Hi! I'm Katie, Katie Fitch. And you're, we'll you're the one and only Dena." Said a girl with shoulder length red hair. She was pretty. I held my hand out and shook my hand with her. She pulled my hand and our hand shake became a hug. She hugged me tightly, tighter than Hayes.

"I'm sorry" she said, still hugging me.

"Um, it's okay." I responded. I looked over at Hayes and he was laughing. I gave him a look.

When we finished hugging she said, "We used to be friends, really really good friends."

"I'm sorry." I responded, holding her shoulders. I released my hands and asked, "can you tell me some stories of like things we did together?" I said walking over towards the group of girls. She nodded. The whole class we just talked. I started to remember things. Things I didn't think I could remember. I even finished one of 'Effy' 's stories. I felt like I was reliving again. It was weird.

After class, the group of my 'new' friends invited me to a party and I said yes! Finally I was going to make new friends. My newest were Katie and Emily, who were twins, Effy, Pandora, Naomi, and Mini.

The rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about my friends and that I remembered about before. And since I remembered little memories, they led to new ones. It was like a puzzle. And each piece created me. I couldn't wait to tell Hayes about it.

When I got into French class I sat down and starred at the door, waiting for Hayes to come it. When he walked it, he had sunglasses on. I got confused. My thoughts raced everywhere. He sat down and I looked up at his face. He leaned down and took his glasses off. He had a black eye. "Hayes, what happened?" I asked normally.

"A group of guys, probably Jordan's brothers hit me." He said blinking a lot. I let a sigh out.

"Go to the bathroom, I'll meet you there." I said discretely. The 'plan' worked and when I walked into the bathroom, he was walking around. "Hayes, come here" I said waving him over. He walked towards me and I got a paper towel and wet it. I dabbed it on his bad eye and he squealed. "Sorry," I said.

"It's okay." Hayes said quietly. His eye wasn't swollen or anything, but it was black. I just told him to go to the nurses office and say what happened.

He grabbed my shoulders and pulled to towards him. I grabbed his waist. He was really hot (temperature and facially) and I gripped him tightly. He wouldn't stop hugging for a little while, but then after a bit, he let go and walked to the nurses office.

I went back to french and we learned how to say things related to, 'places'.
