RANDOM QUESTION:

My Friends Are All Happy With Me (not).

Days flew by and the news of my website spread like wildfire. Thanks to the ever increasing popularity of Jen and Jerko, more and more people were coming up to me and asking me about it.

I was really glad about the response I was getting.

I had also set up regular meets with Miss Garner who helped me make the website. The two of us thought of many new things we could put on the site including a special tab the students could click on which said "Random Question:" next to the name of the person they were talking to.
This tab temporarily deleted all the previous conversations so the person to whom the question is being asked to HAS to answer. Once the answer is given, the person asking the question can click on the "Release" tab which will bring back all the previous conversations and they can go back to their texting.

The site was going to be ready in about a day or two and I couldn't wait to see the response.

At around noon, just before I was going to lunch, I messaged my mom, again, to tell her I was fine. My parents had been really worried for me after they came to know Ryan was coming back. They knew that the last time he was around, my health hadn't been the best. That was why mom had started giving me lunch from home now. To make sure I continued eating.  That I didn't 'forget' again. As long as an empty lunchbox came home....she didn't have much to worry about.

But then again, that was how my parents were. They were really petrified with the way I was last year. They had almost sent me to rehab after they thought I couldn't deal with everything happening but Austin didn't let them. He was convinced he could get me out of it and he stuck by his words.

In fact, he came over to our house and lived with me in my room for a few weeks. Now normally, parents wouldn't have allowed a guy to sleep in their daughters room but they were desperate for help. Besides, they trusted Austin more than me.

He was constantly by my side despite me having regular nightmares, despite me puking all over him more than once, despite me making him watch cartoons on TV without ever giving him the chance to even hold the remote.

The days Austin couldn't stay.... Jen did. Her parents wouldn't allow her to stay with me for as long as Austin had and one of the main reasons was that Austin stayed right opposite to me so his parents didn't really mind.

My relationship with him was really different. It was fluid, in a way. The two of us understood each other more than our parents did sometimes.

Jen was like a rock for me too. A sister. I put up with her weird obsession of dressing up and she put up with my weird obsession of..... not dressing up?
Anyway. All in all, I was really blessed to have them in my life.

Lunch period was as usual a chaos. Like any other highschool, there was a table for the jocks and cheerleaders, the nerds, the outcasts, the overenthusiastic singers who burst into songs any second and then the one we sat at. The 'neutral zone'.
Jen and Jerko sat on the 'neutral table' for me. Jerko being a football player and Jen being....well, Jen, were pretty popular. You could not not love Jen.

Though today, the reason Austin sat with us was because he didn't want to sit anywhere near Colin, The Douche, you know after he punched him and all.

"So, Ver, how's the site coming along?" asked Jen.

"Ooh, it's coming along great! It's going to be ready in about two days."

"That's awesome! I can't wait for it!"

I grinned at that.
"Hey, Anderson! Come on over!" yelled Austin.

I looked towards the direction he was looking at and felt goosebumps rise on my arms. That was him. The new guy. The guy who saw my anxiety pills the other day. He hadn't yet asked me about them which was why I was worried and hoped that his curiosity wouldn't make him question me about them right now. In front of all my friends at the table.
