A month has passed and I've got the hand of the grades here. The things we learn here are more complicated and harder than my old school but I catched up real quick. Also I got over with the questions I had with my old school such as 'Should I go check on Lia if she is okay?' or 'What happened after I left?

Today I was waiting for Smith at my front door. Smith and I started to carpool together as we lived close. As I got into Smith's car he gave me a smile. We talked a lot while we carpooled.

"Hey Peter. So...do you have a like on anyone at our school?" Smith asked.

"What? I said I'm straight!"

"You mean 'I was straight.' we all know you will end up gay."

"No! I was straight and I am straight and I will be straight! Like come on, you wish I would take a like on you? In your dreams Smith."

"Woah woah woah, yo back up I am not a dating person. I am single and always will be. I like it this way. And don't get me wrong I'm a virgin." And he twinkled his eyebrows up and down.

"Don't twinkle your eyebrows like that it's....it's ewww...."

We arrived at school and walked down the hallway.

"Oh and did I mention that the broken couple had a -"

The broken couple? Who is that?
I cut him off being so curious.

"Hold up. Who is this broken couple?"

"Ohhhhhh you don't know? Fred and Jack. They have been dating for a year but they fight a lot, like a lot. They've had about 10 break ups though they always end up getting back together. And speaking of them here they come, fighting. Again."

Yeah, I could sure tell they fight a lot. I wondered why they would fight everyday but always get along at the end if the day as if nothing happened.

I thought they were some besties forever thing but being a couple, that explains a lot of the fighting I've seen for a month.

I heard their loud voices from down the hallway. I heard Fred's voice first.

"Jack that was so inappropriate! I always tell you not to do it! I don't like it!"

"It's not a big deal Fred! Who cares! I bet if you weren't looking you wouldn't even know! Why are you making a fuss all about it."

"No, it is a big fuss to make about because it is a big fuss so don't you dare tell me what to make a big fuss about or not cause I will make a big fuss of this EVERYTIME! Until you stop doing it!"

"Hey hey hey, guys stop, everyone is staring. Keep your voices down." I said by putting them apart. "What's this all about?"

Smith answered me before anyone.
"I think it's the Starbucks thing. Right boys?"

"Yes!" Fred said giving a sigh.

"The Starbucks thing? What's that?" I looked at Smith. So I don't get the answer screamed at by one of these fuss boys.

"So Starbucks thing is that they carpool together and they always start the day by going to Starbucks to get their own drinks. But Jack over here always takes a sip of Fred's drink no matter what he got himself and even when Fred tells him not to every single day. And so they come to school fighting and I swear that the fighting part is also the morning routine as being a whole set of going to Starbucks. So watching them fighting in the morning is also our morning routine. "

"Well they haven't been fighting for a month so it's my first time watching them fight in the morning."

"Because the Starbucks place they go to has been closed for a month since they are building a second floor. And so now let's just leave them here and go to class before it's late."

And we just left them there fighting. Smith and I split up since our lockers were on the other sides. I headed to my locker.

When I got to my locker I met Ethan there, I took a little glince of him and saw him looking at me. Our eyes locked for a few seconds but it felt as hours and days. Giving me a small tingling feeling. Then Ethan turned back to face his locker.

"You know it's rude to stare, right?"

Oh COME ON!  You were the first one to be staring at me.

"Yeah it's rude to stare at people Ethan. If you know it, then why do it?"

He smirked at me. I looked at him with my eyes wide wanting an answer but he was busy looking for something in his locker.

"I don't like to be stared at if you didn't get me."

"Who does? I mean, ughh whatever, I don't want a fight." I said those words as calmly as I could even though I was so pissed off.

I just grabbed my books and closed my locker and headed to my first period. In my first period I could just concentrate and forget about this anger I have right now.And then I just realized shit, I have first period with Ethan. I took a back seat in the classroom. The teacher came in a few seconds later and told us we were going to start a new project in pairs.

"Okay class so we are going to start a new project, this might be the project with the highest scores you could get this semester. I have a box and you guys will pick a piece of paper from it. With an alphabet written on it. The person who has the same alphabet will be your partner for this project."

When it was my turn I thought it would be good to be partners with anyone except Ethan.

But come on, out of these many people how could I be partners with Ethan? I opened up the paper I picked and I had an E written on it. As I sat on the back of the classroom I leaned over a bit and peeked on Ethan's paper and he had an F, thank goodness.
