It Started with a School Project

Chapter 3

It was finally Friday. The weekend has arrived, which also means Mia's party has too. I'll admit I was excited Brayden was coming. I might just have a good time after all.

"Oh my Gosh! I am so excited for tonight." Kae squealed as she sat down at the lunch table.

"We know." Ace said as he sat down. He'd been crabby as fuck all day.

Kae reached over the table and punched him in the arm.

"What the fuck! Why did you do that?"

"Because you've been an ass all day. Why?"

"I have not."

Kae looked at me using her eyes to ask for help.

"Ace, what's wrong?"

"My parents are fighting ok." he snapped.

The last couple weeks Ace's parents have been fighting a lot, and talking about divorce. If they divorced he would move with his mom and he refuses to.

"You know that we're here for you."

"Yea, I just don't wanna talk about it right now." He gave us a sad smile and left.

"Well, I'm gonna go to my locker. I'll see you later Kae."

"Ok."

"Kenzie" I know that voice. I looked up from my locker.

"Can I help you ,Grace?"

"You're just ugly and I wanted to make sure you knew."

"Gee thanks, Grace."

She sashayed off just as the lunch bell rang.

------------
I walked into Mr. Ball's room. Yes, the last hour of the day.

Fucking finally.

I sat in my usual seat in the back and pulled out my phone.

Ace- I'll pick you and Kae up 7:00ish.

Me- Alrighty!!

Mr. Ball walked to the front ready to began his lecture.

Suddenly the door swung open and in came Brayden, late.

"Nice of you to join us today."

"Yea I thought I'd grace you with my presence today."

Mr.Ball rolled his eyes. "That'll be a detention Monday. Now have a seat."

"Sure thing Wayne." I can't believe he just called him by his first name. Mr.Ball looked like he was about to blow.

"I'll see you after class."

Brayden just shrugged and sat in the seat next to me.

The rest of class went smoothly. The bell rang soon enough. Everyone started to file out.

"Brayden where do you think you're going?" Asked Mr.Ball.

"We'll have to reschedule, I'm busy."

He wrapped his arm around me and began to walk.

"I'll walk you to your locker."

We got to my locker and I started putting my stuff in.

"You literally have a death wish. I can see the near future and I see Mr. Ball murdering you."

He laughed. "He drives me so fucking insane. I might be the one murdering him."

I smiled. "You better not I won't visit you in prison. "
