The next day it was mission: revenge on the populars, start.

I walked to school by myself today and let Taylor walk with Max and Jackson, so they won't get suspicious. For some reason me and Taylor had mentally agreed to not let those two know about the mission. I don't know why but it was something I wanted to do to win back their trust, and it really isn't like they are going to forgive that easily, even though I did nothing wrong to them. Especially Max, I love him and all, but he can be very difficult too.

As I walked through the doors of the school I held my head high not giving two shits about people's reaction, as I ran through my head how I was going to do my part in the mission.

How in the world was I supposed to get them to stay in one room and talk to them? But at least it was split in half between me and Taylor, so I don't have to do this by myself. Maybe I could get him to ask them, anyways a lot of the misfits adore him so much. He was like a big brother for the misfit's, even though he is still younger than most of them.

So, I will leave that to him.

Now I just need to think about what my speech will be like. As I was thinking hard I bumped into someone, but I couldn't see who it was until I looked down and saw that it was Max.

"Oh, sorry Max, didn't see you there." I said laughing nervously

"You should watch where you are going and stop daydreaming." he said harshly as he shoved me aside.

But as he passed me he said in a hushed voice "But serious be careful." in a sweet tone.

I turned around wanting to make up, and so we could be friends again but once I turned around it was too late he had disappeared into the crowded hallway. I couldn't find him, I turned around and went on my way to my first period class.

~~~~~

I had continued on through the day, and I think I had finally figured out a good subject I can talk quickly about to the misfits. Now let's see how soon Taylor can get them all to agree with a short meeting.

As I was walking to my 3rd period class I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see who it was. It was a girl facing down wards looking at her class schedule.

"Um excuse me, can you help me find the math room." She said. For some reason that voice was super familiar. But who's voice would I recognize when I barley talk to people during school. Also, she must be new if she was talking so freely to me.

I looked at the person and saw a head full of long brunette colored waves. And I knew exactly who those locks belong to.

"Giselle?" I said unsure

"Huh, how do you kn------" She looked up and saw my face and hers lighted up almost automatically. "Oh my god, is that really you, Abby."

"Yes, yes its me." I said excitedly and pulled her into a hug, lifting her up. "Why didn't you tell me you can here already."

"I wanted it to be a surprise." Giselle said as she hugged me back just as hard.

"Well, no shit it would surprise me." I let her go and just looked at her and notice how beautiful she had become. She still had her teal eyes and long brunette colored hair. She was just so much different from what I have become.

"Wow Abby you changed a lot. Look at you, you look so mature. But oh my god you changed so much." She said rubbing her hand over my arm softly. She looked me in the eyes and they seemed like she had met the lover life, but that couldn't be right. I must be mistaking them.

"Anyways what were you going to ask me?" I asked her, pushing that thought aside.

"Oh yeah, l most forgot." Giselle said, "Where can I find this room." She pointed at the paper and I saw the room number and realized that was my next class.

Ring Ring.

The bell rang, and we were late for class.

"Hurry up." I said while grabbing her hand and started to run. "I have the same class right now, so I will guild you there."

"Thanks" She said with the most innocent smile ever and I noticed while I glanced back at her that her cheeks were turning pink. I wonder why. Maybe she is just super happy with our reunion.

~~~~~

Upon reaching the class the teacher said it was ok for me to be late since I was helping her find her way but reminded me if I was late again it would be a detention. I took my seat at the back of the classroom and pulled out my notebook.

The teacher had introduced Giselle to the class and everyone seemed to like her a lot, well no surprise there. The teacher had told her to pick any seat and she automatically went up to me and sat down on the seat to my right.

Everyone seemed so confused by this, as they continued to watch as Giselle greeted me with a smile.

Then the class started.

Part way through the lesson though I was losing interest in whatever she was talking about and turned to look around. My eyes fell on Giselle's big bold ones. She must have been staring at me at how she got flustered and immediately turned her direction when she saw me look at her.

I whispered, "Giselle"

"Yes" she replied in the same volume, turning back to face me again with pink tinted cheeks

"You know you shouldn't stick to me too much." I said seriously.

"Why is that?" She questioned, tilting her head to the side. It was cute how she did that.

"Just because." I didn't really want to tell her. It has been years since we had seen each other so wanted to appreciate the time I have with her now, when I can. I already knew she was going to be targeted by the populars, so she could join them.

Class pasted on and we were dismissed, and Giselle was pulled over by the populars, just as I expected. I looked over and noticed that they were pointing at me most likely telling her about the rumors that surrounded me.

I walked away as fast as I can, I just wanted to be alone right now. I felt like my life was just going to get worst and worst no matter how hard I try by myself. But hopefully if I have others help in doing this, maybe, just maybe I could improve it. Even if it is just a little, a little can go a long way.

I met up with Taylor in secret near the boy's bathroom, not creepy at all just normal.

I saw him coming and I prepared myself, I don't know why but I had a feeling with the sad looking face he was sporting that there was something bad going on.

"Abigail, I just got a call from my dad, and he was saying how my mom had been very miserable ever since I had left the house. And I feel bad, so I was thinking if I should go back. What do you think?" he said as soon as he was in front of me.

"Taylor why are you asking me this?" I said to Taylor genuinely confused.

"I don't know. I just-----" He said looking down at the floor miserably.

"Shut up and go back home. It isn't me how has to make the choice it is you." I said

"But wouldn't you be lonely again." he said worriedly

"Of course, I will be, but if anything, you can still visit here and there." I said, "My house isn't your home, but the doors are open for whenever you want to come back and visit."

He looked at me with worried eyes and grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his chest, hugging me tightly.

But we both had no idea in that someone else had been watching us. And how that someone was going to change everything.
