They next morning I wake up with my mom knocking on my door and telling me to get up. The very first thing I did was text Ricky for him to pick me up, since well... I wasn't getting a ride from Stan anytime soon.

"Amazon cmon! Up already!" My mom yelled from behind my bedroom door and I groan. "Fineeeeee."I whine out, slugging over to the bathroom.

Walking out of the house, I see Syd there about to ring the doorbell. "Syd, what are you doing here?" I asked while she just stared. She took a quick breath as we both started to walk on the sidewalk. "It's Dina, I don't know how to say sorry to her. Well, I tried making pancakes for Liam this morning. He had a black eye and he got mad at me for trying to also stand up to his school bully." She rambled and I just snort.

"Trying to turn things around? Well if you're talking to Dina, I'm sure she wouldn't be mad at you forever. Especially me. But we can try talking to her at PE." I suggested as the sound of car wheels screeched to a stop to the left of us. Ricky honked the car and I just nodded at Syd before getting in the car with Ricky and Jagger.

"I don't think I've ever seen you run that hard." Dina mentioned to me and Syd as we walked to the bleachers. The three of us were sweating bullets after four laps around the football field. "Well I've been eating and mourning a lot so..." I joked and the two laughed.

"In fact, I don't think I've ever seen you run." Dina added as I nodded with a smile. "Oh, god, it's the worst." Syd breathed heavily as we all sigh and finally sit down under the burning sun.

"Look, about the whole library situation..." Dina began as I sat behind the two. "I shouldn't have asked you to help me steal anything, Dina. It was stupid. " Syd butted in before she could say anything.
