I woke up on my couch, Monty's jacket causing me to overheat. I looked around and noticed how dark it was, I was alone. I got up and turned on the lights, folding Monty's jacket. I looked at my phone, I had been asleep since midnight causing me to wake up late.

I rushed to get myself dressed, not bothering to feed myself. I walked into school, one of the teachers writing my name down for detention. Fabulous. I had Monty's jacket in my bag but had no idea where he would be.

To Zach
You guys got practice this morning?

From Zach
Nah, we've got strategy and shit in the library. Why?

I shoved my phone back into my pocket and made my way to the library.

"What are you doing out of Class, Miss Foley?" I heard from behind me. I turned on my heels, looking Principal Bolan up and down. I sighed, groaning slightly "I got here late, and I'm heading to the library. Is that a crime?" I asked, rolling my eyes. He shook his head "No, I was actually comming to find you." He told me.

I furrowed my brows "Why's that?" I questioned, looking around. "Just a little catch-up, to make sure you're okay and everything." He replied. I scoffed "Well, I'm fine thank you."

"Come find me later, We'll talk. Get to class." He said, taking one last look at me before heading down the corridor. I rolled my eyes again and walked to the Library, the same sick feeling in my stomach. It wasn't as bad this time, I'd be able to get through it.

Opening the heavy door, I walked in, searching for the jocks. I heard them laughing and joking, loud as usual. Charlie spotted me, but I put my finger to my lips for him to be quiet about it. I crept up behind Monty, putting my hand over his mouth. "Scream and you die." I whispered into his ear. He seemed startled but soon realised who it was.

"The fuck are you doing here?" He asked with a slight smile. I threw his jacket at him "You big dumb dumb, you left your ugly ass jacket at my apartment yesterday." I giggled, the boys laughed to themselves. "I'm smarter than you." Monty joked "Thanks, loser." He added.

I started to walk off, Monty grabbing my arm and pulling me onto his lap. "What are you doing?" I questioned, crossing my arms. "You're my personal lap warmer." He simply commented. I shook my head. "Monty, you hitting that?" Luke asked and I stuck my middle finger up at him.

"We're just friends." I stated, earning 'oh' and 'friendzoned' comments from the boys. "Friendly friends." Luke mumbled. I glared at him, while Monty just smirked and kept his mouth shut. "Shut up Monty." I told him.

"I didn't say anything!" He chuckled. I stared at him, blankly "You never have to." I replied. He put his hands around my waist, continuing his conversation with the group.

"Red 25, then shoot." Zach said, I had no idea what they were saying. "Quick slide to you?" Charlie queried, trying to correct himself after. Monty shook his head "No." he mocked, Charlie seeming embarrassed. "Three wides, backs block, so you have time to read the defense. Then I release and you throw it to me" He continued.

"I love it when you release." I blurted out loud, covering my mouth as I did. The group looked at me, Monty bursting out in laughter "I know you do Sweetheart." He whispered.

I glared at him while he patted my thigh. Zach's phone vibrated on the table, he looked at the text. My phone buzzed too, so I took it from my pocket and looked at the text.

Liberty Losers
Clay
They arrested Tony, don't know why.
Me
Can't have been Tony, he wouldn't have a motive...would he??

Zach's words slowed as he read the messages, I looked up at face him. Without warning, Monty snatched up Zach's phone and looked at it. I put my phone down, watching as Monty scanned the messages.
