Tiffany huffs as she walks into the school, Mikkel following behind her.

Asia was quick to approach them.

"Why haven't I heard from you in three days?"she asks.

"Um, phone trouble. I was up in the mountains."Tiffany says.
...

"Did you hear about Charlotte?"She whispers to me.

"I did. What's the word?"I ask.

"About 90% of the school is overjoyed and the rest are in mourning."She says.

"She was a bitch but she didn't have to die like that."I say.

"The police said that when they found her she had such a look of horror on her face that it made them shiver."Asia says.

"Gnarly."I say as Asia looks over at Mikkel.

"Good morning mister."Asia says.

Mikkel looks down at her, annoyed.

"Wow, wake up on the wrong side of the bed much?"she asks.

"Don't even get him started."I say rolling my eyes.

"Does he have to follow you around all day?"Asia asks.

"He doesn't have to, but he insists."I say, looking up at him.

"I'm just doing my job."he says.

"Oh look at that, he speaks."

Mikkel takes a deep breath. After being around him 24/7 I could tell that that meant he was getting angry.

I reach up and fluff his hair a bit, running my fingers through it.

His cheeks turn red and he pushes my hand away, his hands moving to fix his hair.

I chuckle, teasing him.

"Fuckin dead."he says as he fixes his hair.

"You two are awfully cute."Asia says with a stupid smile.

We both look at her.

She looks back at us for a while and then apparently a fuse sparks in her brain.

"Oh shit, are you guys fucking?"she asks.

"No"Mikkel and I say at the same time.

"Oh my god you guys are totally fucking."she says.

"Shh!"I gripe at her.

"Holy shit Tiff!"she says quietly.

"Hush! We're not having sex!"I say.

"Keep your fuckin voice down do go spreading that kinda shit around."Mikkel says as we all stop walking.

"So you really aren't?"Asia says, folding her arms.

"No."I say.

She huffs.

"Boring."she says as we begin walking again.

"Oh, I almost forgot."She says, reaching into her pocket.

"Kali told me to give this to you."she hands me a folded up piece of blue paper.

I unfold it and read it quietly.

"I miss you friend. Let's hang out."

-VH

I stop dead in my tracks and gasp loudly.

"What is it Tiffany?"Asia asks.

I quickly look up at Mikkel.

"Cover your ears."I demand.

"Tha fuck?"he says.

"Cover your ears!"I demand again.

He huffs and covers his ears.

I turn towards Asia.

"Vinnie wants to hang out with me."I say quietly.

Her face nearly comes off how fast she smiles.

"Oh my fucking God."she says.

"Oh my god. What's gonna happen i-i- I know we were friends in elementary school but now i-i-"Asia grips my shoulders and shakes me.

"Are! You freaking! Insane!"she says in intervals.

"Go see him!"She says.

"What about Mikkel?"I ask.

"I'll take him! I got it!"she says.

I huff as I turn back to Mikkel and he uncovers his ears.

"All good."I smile nervously.

"Whatever."he says

"So um, I have a favor to ask of you."I say, gripping his hand.

"You're gonna make up a reason why Asia feels uncomfortable in her class and ask me to go with her so you can go see this Vinnie kid?"Mikkel says.

"I said cover your ears."I say folding my arms.

"And last I checked I wasn't a little fuckin kid."he says.

"Uhg."I say.

"The only way you're meeting that kid is if I'm there."He says, folding his arms as well.

"You know, if I wasn't in fear of what you'd do to me if I disrespect you, I'd be disrespecting the FUCK out of you right now."I say, pointing a finger at him.

"Cute. Still not going alone."he says.

I take a deep breath and then turn towards Asia.

"Can you excuse us for a moment?"I say, gripping his arm and walking past her.

"You are letting me go see Vinnie."I say.

"Yeah, not without me though."he says.

"You don't understand!"I say.

"Either you go see him with me, or you don't see him at all."he says, putting his hands on his hips.

I take another deep breath and close my eyes.

"Fine. But we're going now."I say.

"Cool, tell your friend bye."he says.

I attempt to walk over to her but he stops me, pushing me the opposite direction and beginning to walk.

"I was kidding. Move it."
