Macy's pov-

I was already late to English class, so I just decided to skip. After wandering the halls for a while, I just made my way to the cafeteria. I got my food early and sat at my usual table just as the bell rang.

I saw the other students flood in, staring at me. I rolled my eyes and ignored them as I felt my friends come up to me. They all sat around me mumbling their "heys" and other greetings.

I look up as Eli and Marcus walk together and take a seat down. "Hey," I say to both of them. They both acknowledge me and wave.

"Guys, this is Eli," Marcus introduced him. "He is in our art class." I felt Bailey's eyes on me and I turned to look at him. He had a stone expression on and looked away. I would say weird, but this is kinda a Mr. Grumpy usual.

Everyone introduces themselves and we finish our food. Everyone compliments me on my performance earlier before we get up and go to class, my next one being Math.

After the final bell rings, I walk out to my car. I wait for Arda and once she gets there, we hop in the car. "So. What's up with you and the new kid," she asks.

"Nothing at all. He's just in my class, why?"

"Because he just kept staring at you. Bailey was getting a little jealous."

I roll my eyes. "Seriously, he has no reason to be. Also, it's not like he has asked me on a date yet."

"M'kay," Arda said with a knowing look. I shake my head as we pull into our driveway. We grab our stuff and walk to the door. Once inside, we go our separate ways. I go to my room and actually decide to do something productive, homework.

Yeah...no. That didn't really happen. I ended up changing into a long t-shirt with some biker shorts and messing around. I put on some sunglasses and started to play air-guitar to a song that I was blasting. After tiring myself out, I went to sleep.

I wake up and the first thing I hear is my stomach rumble. Well, going to fix the munchies, I sneak into the kitchen, trying not to wake anyone up. I continue to tiptoe to the kitchen fridge, only focusing on one thing...food.

Very slowly, I make a bowl of cereal in order to make no noise. I look down at it and take a bite as I turn around. I look up and see everyone sitting there watching me creep around the house.

My mouth falls open and I look at the clock. Realizing that it was only 7 pm, I hold my cereal with one hand and use the other one to pat my face. Turns out that I just had my sunglasses on.

I lifted them up on my head and slowly a smile spread across my face and everyone started laughing. "Oops. I thought everyone was sleeping."

After everyone calms down, except for some chuckles here and there, I join them and sit on the couch. We watch some movies before it's early in the morning. Justin and I were still awake when we got hungry again.

Let's just say that Justin and I really should never be trusted together. We went into the pantry to get some food of course and we were looking around until we found a bag of tortilla chips. We opened the bag and we each grabbed some. I broke one chip in half and for some reason, we thought that the sound was hilarious, ao we kept breaking them.

And that, my friends, is how Arda found Justin and me on the floor of our pantry, crying hysterically surrounded by tortilla chips at 2 am.

Arda walked in, saw us, and walked right back out. Justin and I looked at each other and started laughing again, rolling around the floor. My sunglasses feel down on my face once more and I was too lazy to move them.

I don't know how long we laid there but it must've been a little while because I heard the door open and saw Bailey and Nico walk in. Arda walks up to them with an annoyed face and says," Deal with them." She points in our direction as Bailey and Nico look at us.

They instantly have grins on their faces as they look at us. I slowly turn my head to look at them as I push my falling sunglasses back up on my nose and wave. Nico walks over to Justin and reaches his hand out.

"But I don't wanna get up," Justin whines and starts kicking his legs on the floor. "I want to stay here with my bestie," he says as he points at me. I give him a thumbs-up as Bailey picks me up off of the floor. I look at Justin with wide eyes as Nico does the same to him.

"Bestie! Don't leave me," I yelled, reaching out for Justin as he reached out for me. We fake cry as we are whisked away from each other and to our rooms.

And this, people, is what happens when you do your homework.
