Bailey and Dustin entered the house and Dustin sighed while plopping on the couch

"How was your first official day of school?" Dustin asked and bailey sighed "i liked it" bailey said and he nodded "you're gonna hate the homework-which we have to do" he said and she sighed "what's homework?" She asked "it's like-classwork, but at home, you have to do it then return it in the next day to your teacher" Dustin explained "sounds easy" bailey shrugged "yea, easy until you have no idea what the hell you're doing and you procrastinate, and stress about it" Dustin scoffed "pr-porcrasa-what?" Bailey asked "procrastinate, say you wanna hang out with max but you have to test your powers at 2:30pm so that's when you postpone or delay-like re-schedule something, then you're on edgy limit and time-it's just the worst" Dustin tried explaining to the girl and she nodded "sounds horrible" she said and he nodded

"So, you and mike?" Dustin said "what?" Bailey said "don't act stupid, I know you like him" Dustin said "yeah, I do, but I'm not making my move, that's rude to el-she left 3 weeks ago, and plus it doesn't feel right, I can tell he misses el" bailey said "I know, Will told me to make sure you feel good and happy, he only told me you had a crush on him, Will wants you to be happy" Dustin said "of course he does, but I can't take mike, I have to-move on?" She said not being sure with the words she used

"You know, it never seem like you liked him" Dustin said "yeah, I didn't except myself to get close to him, because if we did become close I would have liked him more than i already do" bailey said "so that it explains why you called him Michael instead of mike" Dustin said and she nodded "it helped, but it's useless, we made a sort of truce at the hospital" bailey said and Dustin nodded

"Okay, so Friday after school, we're going to the mall-not starcourt of course it's still getting rebuilt- the mighty mall, and we're all going to have a great time, we did this in the summer but you were never there because boundaries" Dustin said changing the subject and she nodded "max took me there, to shop for my first day of school" bailey said "that's why you weren't here yesterday morning?" Dustin asked and she nodded

-Wednesday afternoon-

The bell rang and kids all started running out of classrooms

Bailey looked around and panicked

She didn't like the way the kids pushed her around to get out of the classroom

She looked back to see Dustin and he nodded

She walked out of class to be in the halls

She looked around for her friends

She then spotted dark hair she instantly ran to that person

"Mike!" She said and he turned around "hey" he said "hey" she said "wheres Dustin?" Mike asked "in the class, the teacher wanted to talk to him" she said and mike laughed "he's probably in trouble" bailey added "why is that?" Mike asked "because he flicked the teacher off, the teacher fully caught him" bailey said and mike laughed

"So how do you like it here-I know I should have asked earlier but I wanted to give you a few days to adjust" mike said "I like it, but not most kids" she said and bailey nodded "of course, it's always like that, there's always kids you won't like" he said and she nodded

"I-have to go to the bathroom, would you wait outside for me?" Bailey said while playing with her hands "sure" he said and she nodded with a smile "thanks" she said and she walked into the bathroom

She went into the stall and she used the bathroom

Soon she heard the door open and her heart drop
