When I got to school, I saw none of my friends around. Did all of them not come?

I decided to walk alone to class, my luck working in my favour and giving me classes with no one I knew.

Finally, after the 4th period, I could go eat.

I grabbed my tray of food, walking to our usual table, relieved to see my usual group sitting there. Well except Zach and Matthew.

"Hey guys where wer-" the wind got knocked out of me when someone ran over and squeezed me into a hug.

"Ouch what the heck Zach?"

"Why did you not tell us something, we could have helped..." I looked down to find him crying.

"why has everyone been crying for the past 2 chapters?" I groaned, but hugged him back anyway.

"Hey! I didn't cry!" Cindy whined.

"I'm fine Zach, stop crying, you're gonna leave snot all over my t-shirt."

"You're supposed to be giving me handkerchief, not a gentleman are you? Where did I go wrong..." He sniffed making everyone on the table chuckle.

I leaned over to whisper something.

"That's Perry's job though, right?" I laughed seeing him turn red. Perry looked at us suspiciously.

He pushed me away muttering a "well atleast you're fine, so I don't care." And sat back down.

Cindy came over to hug me.

"I'm glad you're okay." Expecting a hug, I let my guard down.

I definitely underestimated her. Instead of a hug, she punched my arm a little too hard.

"That's for making Zach cry. And well making yourself cry too I guess." And I swear I heard a 'and maybe me too' right after.

"Aww you actually cried didn't you?"

She ignored my comment sitting back down to eat.

Even then, I was genuinely grateful for this little group of friends. I was kinda disappointed Matthew didn't join in for lunch still.

"Liam cmon! Just come with me once." He pleaded.

"John I said n-"

"Ill pick you up after school, see ya~"

I sighed shoving the phone back into my pocket.

He really did come. After school, I told Zach i was going home with John, and got in the car.

"Cmon, you don't have to look like you hate it!"

"I actually do hate this. But get me ice cream, then I'll come along."

He chuckled nodding, driving to the mall. This guy loves shopping, and seeing as dad is kinda Rich, he probably isn't concerned about spending too much.

He got me ice cream, and then pulled me along with him to basically every place he saw clothes.

Idk about you, but this doesn't seem like a fair deal anymore huh?

"Okay that's enough, I'm hungry."

"Well I think I don't need more so let's get lunch." He smiled innocently, dragging me to an Italian restaurant.

That's when I noticed them. We were sitting on a table for 2, and right opposite to us was Matthew and a girl. Oh and Perry and a guy beside them.
