Grace didn't bring up my father again an I was ok with that. Ecstatic even. I was glad I didn't have to go through the pain of talking about him again. We didn't even bring up that day now that I think about it.
When Amy asked where Grace was that day , she simply shrugged as if she didn't remember telling me one of the biggest problem in her life.
I opened my front door before running to my room and sailing through the air only to land on my bed. I rolled over and groaned remembering I had homework for Geometry. I took my notebook out of my bag , grabbed my textbook off the shelf and my phone out my back pocket to call Nicole and Wendy to come over.
I called Nicole first knowing that we haven't seen each other that much. Even though we had the same lunch, I was always either with the targets or she was skipping with her boyfriend.
"Hey Nicole. I'm about to start the homework. You want to come over ?" I asked after she picked up her phone.
"I'm kinda busy right now. Maybe you should ask Grace."
Before I could ask what she was busy with, she hung up.
I called Wendy next asking her the same thing I asked Nicole.
"She told me that she told you that all of three of us would meet at her place" Wendy said sounding extremely confused.
But I wasn't because I knew I was slowly, but surly, losing my best friend.

I observed how his blue top clung to his body as he looked around for a place to sit. His pupils glowed with a caramel brown which could send any girl just begging for him. I felt my breath slow down as his eyes locked with mine. His smile turned into a smirk right away. I tried to look away and pretend I wasn't drooling over him a few seconds ago but I couldn't turn away.
He walked over to where I was and sat in Anthony's seat just as Anthony opened the door to the classroom. Anthony stared at me as if he was saying something I should be able to understand before walking over the new kid in his seat.
"Hey...um you're in my seat" Anthony said awkwardly.
The new guy looked around before responding.
"Sorry I didn't know it was assigned seats".
"There's none" I piped in the conversation before I could stop myself.
Anthony gave me a look before turning back to the new guy
"Yea there's not its just that I'm used to this seat".
"I understand" the new guy responded "I'm Victor by the way". He stuck out his hand after getting out of Anthony's seat waiting for Anthony to take it. I could tell Anthony was hesitating at first but he took it after his name also.
"I'll see you guys around" Victor said before walking to an empty seat across the room.
I almost offered him my seat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ohh em gee" I basically squealed to Amy after running to second period to gossip about the new guy, Victor.
Amy stared at me with wide eyes but didn't say anything so I continued.
"I just met the cutest guy of life. He's in my first and his name is..."
"Victor?" Amy continued for me.
"Yea...how did you know?"
Instead of responding, Amy got out her seat and started to walk fast. I turned to see where she was going and saw her hugging Victor.
All I could think to myself is "Are you kidding?"
