“Same, girlfriend,” Rian said, turning back around in her chair. “I might not be able to actually date him, he’s not too bad for views.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJxCFcG3up

Kylie looked over to her, shocked. “Why would you like someone you can’t even date?” she asked. Brooke laughed out loud, as Rian bit her lip from doing the same. “It’s seriously dumb. Plus, we’re around three hot guys right now.”copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡosEoXkI4m9
As you can see, the conversation is always praising the women.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0AozRW3rl
“But Ezra isn’t single,” Brooke said. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡanvRBFGnLA
“And I’m loyal too,” I said before Rian could continue. “So don’t assume I’ll cheat on Haven.” copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377Ap1S3Rx
But I already was cheating on her, she just didn’t know. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFyn5DaUu
Adam laughed at me. “Oh,” he laughed jokingly. But there are so many hot g-girls in this school you could be with.” When he’d paused, it seemed like all of the emotion drained from his face when he stumbled on the word ‘girls,’ and I had to look away from him because of it. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMjFf1xuAL
“Anyone one else worried about practice tonight?” I asked, wanting to change the subject so badly it hurt.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MuVS4W1kz
Thomas shrugged. “We won that game-”copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbaoSmlUT
“And I made the touchdown,” Sam cut in, raising his hand up. Brooke laughed again as she leaned onto Sam, and it was almost like he was about to kiss her. Rian and Kylie smiled too, but they said anything.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6qF371ggW
“But it doesn’t mean he won’t be hard on us,” Adam said. “You know how coach is. I messed up more than once against Oakwood.”copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ABsS4899
“They were so easy to beat,” I said. And it wasn’t in a rude way at all, it was just facts. Grayson Williams was an alright player, but I was a much better quarterback than he was, and he knew it. On top of that, half of the guys tried picking fights with Adam, so they got a lot more points taken away because of that.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfsz093thX
Thomas nodded. “True,” he said. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQlJ0JdV7
“And no one wants to mention the amazing dance we had?” Kylie asked. She was a cheerleader as well. “One of the flyers,” Haven said to me once. Whatever that means. Kylie was probably a bit thinner than Haven, but I was guessing that was nothing anybody wanted to hear. And unlike Haven, Kylie looked a lot more like a stereotypical cheerleader. Thin body, blonde hair and blue eyes, and rich parents. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0tn7M6nt4
Sam laughed out loud. “All of you did amazing,” he said. Brooke was still leaning on him, but I guess all of us were just ignoring it. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxG2ciw6ql
I wanted to respond, and agree by saying how amazing my girlfriend did (even though I don’t remember the performance), but my mind was more directed to Evelyn laughing about something Delcan had said again. She was smart enough to know that it would irritate the crap out of me, and I knew there’d be no way to get back at her for it.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCh0l5u9Az
“Ezra?” Thomas asked, looking at me. My head snapped back around quickly, and I made direct eye contact with him.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEWTWv94nd
“What up?”copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeystSUkeU
“You cool, man?” Adam asked me. Thomas looked down quickly as I moved my eyes over to Adam. “Seem pretty distracted right now.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokh0XnDfaG
I shook my head and forced the sound of my sister’s laughter out of my head. “Thinking about things,” I said. And I was thinking, just not about anything else that is happening. I wanted to leave because getting past the seniors to my next class would take some time anyway, but I walked to my next class with Haven, anyways.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VAMeXdtU1
“Where’s Haven?” Kylie asked me. I actually had to look away from her in order to find where my girlfriend was. Turns out, she was at her usual table, not wearing her cheer uniform, and was laughing with some of her cheer friends. I knew all of them, and all of them knew me, but it didn’t mean any of them annoyed me at certain times. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSlhYICxK
I looked at Kylie again and smiled. “Cheer table,” I said.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWjK796SN
Kylie rolled her eyes, then rested her chin on Thomas as he scrolled through his phone. I looked down when my phone buzzed but almost started a riot after I saw the text from my younger sister.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWqssdfQi8

In my last class of the day, and both Delcan and Evvie were in it. Of course, Delcan basically had to introduce himself, which you could tell he was annoyed by, and then he had to wait to be seated. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV8EgSPcIx
The girl I was sitting next to, Jeannie Smith, had been my AP lab partner since 9th grade, and we always seemed to be on the same page with things. Haven had actually gotten jealous of Jeannie because I chose her over my own girlfriend for a huge project we had in science, but it was for a reason. Sure, Haven’s smart, and she gets A’s on everything, but that doesn’t mean she works well with people. Haven gets whatever she wants, and doesn’t know how to take no for an answer, but Jeannie works with people - the only reason I’m nicer to her than most of the other people in science.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyWGpVWxJT
But I wasn’t expecting what came out of Mrs.Walton’s mouth. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ17ajASLf
“Jeannie, how about you switch seats with Cameron,” she said. Jeannie gave me a sad smile before she stood up, grabbed her things, and moved away. My mind didn’t even put together what was happening until it was too late. “And Mr. Heslop, you can take a seat next to Ezra.”copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNh2tFafZq

Delcan sighed in annoyance, and then sat down next to me. I knew there’d be no possible way for me to protest against him, so I had to simply look at her as she walked to her desk. Why? I wanted to ask her. Why, why, why? Why do you hate me? Delcan had already built a wall between the two of us by setting his books there, and I had to rest my arm on my chin as Mrs.Walton began class. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3pD4jeatt
Evvie got the gift of sitting next to Thomas, who she remembered highly from 8th and 9th grade. My 6th period AP science papartneras sitting next to Landrey now, and here I was - next to the one person who makes me blush all the time.copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ShJPOXEY
At the start of the lesson, Delcan didn’t even try to make any eye contact with me. I guess he was just used to being hidden, too. copyright protection295ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRb6clhPu6
