Taylor and Clara didn't pass an opportunity to nudge me and point in his direction subtly. I smiled softly and tried not to look embarrassed.

Class was interrupted harshly when a loud, blaring noise echoed obnoxiously from the hallway. "Fire drill," Ms. Moran said after a her slight shock faded away. It was obvious this was a planned drill by the groan that followed after.

Everyone got up and exited the room. Wes stood right beside me. "We stand outside school for a couple minutes and then go inside. And we have to do this every month as a drill," he said.

"Really? I've never been through a fire drill before," I said teasingly. He laughed quietly as we walked down the crowded halls.

As I looked around, I noticed someone going into the girls' bathroom. Whoever it was, she had short blonde hair and was hiding her face. I was somehow intrigued and soon found myself walking to the bathroom. I couldn't explain it, but I felt almost obligated to see what was going on.

"Where are you going?" Wes said quickly. "I just need to go to the bathroom. I'll meet you outside."

Wes ran a hand through his short hair almost frustratingly. "Do you want me to wait for you? I think I should wait..."

I forced a small laugh. "I'll be fine Wes, it's just a drill." He didn't smile as he reluctantly walked away, going towards who I could make out to be Parker. "I'll see you, Flora."
