"Is something wrong?"
  I ask leaning against the lockers as I look up to meet Miss Winter's gaze.
Please tell me everything is okay...
"I was just curious as to which school James attended before Cresent High?"
"Uh...well we didn't really go to school, I taught him what I learned online."
I explain causing her eyes to widen in surprise.
"Really?"
"Yes?"
I hesitate unsure as to why she's asking.
"He's quite smart for his age."
"Yes, he grew up rather fast."
I whisper thinking about the endeavors we went through.
"Okay, well that will be all, thank you and sorry for disturbing you during class."
I nod in response as I make my way back to my desk before taking a seat.
I've caused quite a bit of trouble and it feels as if James keeps getting dragged into them as well...
I stare down at the surface of my table just as someone waves a hand in my face.
"-ya? Raya?"
I lift my eyes up to meet Tyson's gaze.
"You okay?"
  Nathan asks and I look at the two of them in confusion.
What?
"Huh?"
I ask blinking away the memories.
"Wake Up!"
Tyson snaps his fingers in front of my face and I smack it away.
"Go flirt with Jaecee."
I mutter surprised I didn't punch him in the nose on instinct.
"Shh!"
He warns glancing at her to make sure she didn't hear me.
"Raya, you look kinda out of it."
Jaecee says observing me with concerned eyes as I put on a fake smile.
"Just...tired."
I lie.
Jaecee doesn't seem to believe me, but she let's the subject go.
"Okay, so can we eat dinner after we go to the movies?"
Jaecee asks and I nod in agreement.
"Sure, I know James would love that."
He's been wanting to go get a chocolate shake from the diner.
  I smile before noticing a small frown pull at Justin's lips.
What's his problem?

I walk out into the hallway right after the bell finally rings.
"So, anyone decide on what movie to go watch?"
Jo asks suddenly appearing by my side as if out of thin air.
  "I don't know, what do you want to watch?"
Jaecee asks glancing at me as I give a small shrug in response.
"I don't really care."
"You guys going to the movie theaters tonight?"
Nathan asks as he walks forward to stand in between Jo and I.
"Uh, maybe?"
"Well, Tyson and I were thinking of going to watch the new Fast and Furious. If you want, you can go with us?"
Nathan suggests and I smile.
Ooooh, it's time to play cupid!
"Sounds fun, what time?"
"Probably 10:00, somewhere around there."
"Okay, we'll see you there."
Jaecee says with a smile and Tyson smirks.
"Will I be seeing you there as well?"
Nathan asks as he looks down at Jo with a small smile.
"Oh, you'll be seeing me."
Jo nods in agreement before crossing her arms over her chest before continuing.
"You'll see me sitting as far from you as possible."
Jo remarks before walking away with Jaecee and I following after her.
"Well, what's the plan for driving? Because I only have a motorcycle."
I state causing Jo to place her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll drive the three of us."
Jo says and Jaecee and I nod in agreement.

    .LUNCH TIME.
"I want McDonald's fries and a mocha frappe."
I whine to Jo as I set my tray down.
"McDonalds does sound good."
Jo agrees as she takes a seat across from me.
"I want a sonic drink."
  Tyson says sitting between Jo and Jaecee.
"No! Wendy's!"
Nathan exclaims sitting beside Jo who blushes before looking away.
I look down at my tray in disappointment.
All I got was a milk, small salad with ranch, chicken nuggets and potato slices.
Potato slices are NOT the same as McD's fries!
I begin to eat my food when suddenly someone sets their tray next to mine.
Who...?
I glance over to see Justin and frown before glaring at my food.
Oh, great! Just fan-freakin-tastic!
I continue to eat while trying to ignore Justin which is kinda hard to do when his foot keeps nudging mine every few minutes.
Why is he even sitting by me?
"So, Raya where you from?"
Nathan asks trying to start a conversation as he glances between Justin and I.
He seems to notice the tension...
"I uh travel more then anything."
"Will you be staying here for a while?"
"I'm planning on it, but it depends."
I answer with a shrug while taking a drink of my milk.
"What does it depend on?"
Justin asks, but I just continue to eat which causes him to huff in annoyance.
