Him'

I point to the messy brown haired boy with wide eyes. He turns his neck so fast I swear I heard a snap and I'm on other side of the room. 

I know his name just like everybody else in this hell hole does. He's the 'badboy'. Notice how I air quote that? Yeh he isn't really. He just displays the image to cover up his weirdness. Well at least that's what some rumours say. Speaking of rumours, apparently he works at McDonald's. I wonder if he gets free meals?

I stand up and tug on Naomi's jacket.

'Come on hoe let's go get you a boyfriend'.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
