“I’m waiting for my thank you”.

“Thank you?”. I asked in disbelief. “You are not getting it”.

He scoffed. “I just helped you out with those stupid assholes”.

“I could have handled them myself”.

“Yeah right”. He muttered.

I sighed. “What do you want from me?”.

“Well .. “. He started.

An intercom rang from the speakers.

“Reece Carter, report to the principal’s office now”.

It was one of the teachers talking, his voice was loud through the speakers.

“What did you do?”.

He smirked. “You do not wanna know this time around”.

I looked at Reece. “Can’t you be less trouble some for once?”.

He tucked his hands into his pockets cooly. “Nah, that’s boring”.

“Reece Carter your attention is needed in the principal’s office”. The teacher repeated.

“You are gonna expelled”. I told him.

“I like that you care, Nat but thats never happening”.

“Carter, you have 30 seconds to get to this office this instance”. The teacher continued.

“Thats me. Gotta go”. He flashed me a wink and ran off.

I stared at Reece retreating figure as he ran off. Why the hell is he like that? Is it humor or the fact that he’s mentally deranged.

“I think its the other one”.

I turn startled to see Harley. “Huh?”.

“I think my cousin is mentally deranged but what do I do?”. She said sarcastically.

“I didn’t mean to say that about him just that .. “. I trailed off.

“I get it, Reece just doesn’t cause trouble. Trust me, he is trouble”.

I chuckled at what she said. “Yeah, you can say that again”.

“Have you seen him?”.

“He was called to the principal’s office so maybe you can check him there”.

Her eyes w¡dened. “The principal called Reece?”.

“Well yeah, through the speakers”.

“Bye”. She said and ran off hurriedly.

Okay, whats up with Harley? She is weird just like her cousin. Reece.

I made sure my locker was shut close before I went to the study hall.

“Reece!!”. I heard my name being called.

I stopped walking and turned back seeing Harley.

“What now?”. I asked her.

“Where do you think you are going? The Principal is calling for you”.

“You and I both know what he’s going to say”.

“You can’t just ditch school anytime you like”. She blurted out.

“Harley, please just let me be”.

“The principal’s office. Now”. She said sternly.

“I can’t go there”. I gritted my teeth. “He’s going to put me in detention and i don’t wanna go”.

“If you do not go then he’s going to call your Mum and Dad and you know whats gonna happen next”.

I gr0×ned. “Don’t remind me”.

“Its bye bye Alabama for you”. She added.

“But the principal’s office?”. I whined. “I prefer a teacher talking to me not that bald head principal”.

“All you need to do is nod your head while he’s talking, it will make things a little faster”. She advised.

“But .. “.

“Reece”. She warned.

“Okay fine, principal’s office”.

“Good, remember this is the fifth warning, two more warnings and you are out of this school. Just giving you a little reminder”.

“Thanks Mum”. I said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes. “Just go”.

I paused. “I need your help with something just this once”.

“What do you need?”.

“Help me find out what that stupid Andrew and his crew are up to”.

She furrowed her eyebrows. “You mean the football team?”.

“I mean the jocks in practically every team in the school, swimming, golf, name it”.

“Just ask Jeremy, he’s their co captain”.

I shook my head negatively. “I don’t think Jeremy knows about this one”.

“What exactly do you want me to find?”.

“Andrew was with Nat, he invited her to the after games party”. I told her. “We all know that Andrew only talks to girls he wanna to hook up with”.

“Okay fine, i’ll go find whats up with those sleazy dumb ass”. She said.

“Well go on”. I urged her on.

“I want to see you walk to Principal’s office, who knows if you might dunk it”.

I chuckled softly. “How about you walk me there?”.

She linked arms with mine. “Lets go”.

“Please Tasha”.

I ignored still scribbling in my notes.

She nudged me. “Tasha”.

“What”. I snapped at her.

“Are you still angry about the whole thing of me calling you a nerd?”.

Gosh!! Bella is so disturbing.

“I apologized”. She continued.

“Bella, I’m trying to concentrate”.

“Mr. Matt isn’t even in class”. She argued.

I closed my books and faced her. “What?”.

“The football games with Bridler High is this friday”.

I shrugged. “So?”.

“If we win then an after games party is going to be held as always”.

“You know I never go to parties, Bella”.

“Come on, Tasha. Just this once, don’t be a spoil sport”.

“Really? A spoil sport?”.

“Every 12th grader is going to be there”.

“I’m not going, thats final. Parties are not my jam”. I told her.

“What if Reece goes?”. She asked.

“Why are we talking about Reece now?”.

“Cutie”. Jeremy said sitting beside us in the study hall.

“Jeremy, please tell Bella to let me be”.

“Am I missing something?”. He asked.

“Tasha doesn’t want to go to the after games party”. Bella complained.

“If she doesn’t wanna go, thats her choice”. Jeremy replied.

“Aha!!”. I snapped at Bella. “In your face”.

“Come on, Jeremy, don’t you want to see Tasha at the games?”.

“Just because I won’t attend the after party doesn’t mean I won’t go for the games. I’m coming for the friday games to support my school as an active student”. I explained.

“Oh please, spare me that”. She said with an eye roll.

“And also I wanna watch Jeremy play”. I added.

Is it me or did his eyes just light up at what I said?

“Who doesn’t wanna watch Jeremy play? I mean he’s cute, the co-captain and … “.

I nudged Bella to stop talking or else she might just give away the fact that she likes Jeremy.

She hasn’t told me but I just guessed. I mean its totally obvious.

“I mean, what? Did I just say that? Forget i said all those things”. Bella ranted.

“O..kay”. Jeremy said confused.

I watched as Bella heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank you”. She mouthed to me.

I giggled, she almost gave out herself back there.

“Have you seen Reece?”. Jeremy asked.

“Why ask me, ask his girlfriend”. Bella said.

“For the last time, I don’t like Reece”. I said frustrated.

“But he seems to like you”. She mumbled.

I turned to Jeremy. “The last time I saw him was when the principal called for him”.

“Shit!! Then thats why Harley texted me”.

“Is something wrong?”. I asked concerned.

“I gotta go”. He said and stood up walking out.

“He’s so cute”. Bella said dreamily.

I snapped my fingers in front of her. “Earth to Bella”.

She sighed. “How do you get him to notice you anyways?”.

“Just tell him you like him”.

“I don’t .. like him, yeah I don’t”. She talked to herself.

“When you’ve figured everything out, let me know”. I told her.

*********
“I can not believe you slept through his class”. I said to Bella as we walked through the school hallways.

“Of course, I did. He’s so boring”.

“Or maybe you didn’t pay attention to him because you were too busy dreaming of Jeremy”.

“No I wasn’t”. She interjected.

“Hmm”.

“Okay fine, i may have done that”. She admitted.

“You are in a puddle of boy problems”. I muttered.

She linked our arms together as we walked out of school buildings.

“Finally, school is over”. Bella said exasperatedly.

“Its only been the first day”. I said amused.

“Trust me, i get bored easily”.

I chuckled softly. “Oh I trust you on that”.

“Mind if I drop you off?”. She asked.

“No its okay, I can walk”.

“Why do you always say that?”.

“I’m fine, Bella. My house isn’t far from school at all”.

She shrugged. “So? I just wanna drop you off as your best friend”.

“And as your best friend, i decline your offer”.

“Whats there in me driving you home or are you hiding something from me?”.

A hand was slanged around my shoulders preventing me from replying to Bella.

“This is not the time, Jeremy”. Bella said sternly.

“Why are you guys arguing?”. He inquired.

“Just let me drop you off at home, just this once”. She insisted.

“I can walk there”.

“I thought as much”. She said and walked away.

I sighed as she went over to her car, i can’t tell her whats going on with me. I just can’t.

“Is something wrong, cupcake?”. Jeremy asked.

“I’m fine”. I said tiredly.

He removed his hands around my shoulder and held my palm instead intertwining our fingers.

“Your fingers are always small”. He teased me.

“Oh please”.

He smiled. “Cutie?”.

I’m used to him calling me different names.

“Yeah?”.

“Are you okay?”.

I stopped. “Huh?”.

He looked at me. “Are you okay?”.

“What do you mean by that?”. I asked confused.

“You don’t look okay”. He whispered.

“I’m … I’m good, fine, never been better”.

“Whatever it is, you can trust me, okay?”.

I nodded and we began walking to where he car was parked. I gr0×ned inwardly as I saw Reece.

“Does he always have to be there?”.

Jeremy chuckled. “He’s my best friend”.

I gasped.

“I mean, he is my other best friend”. He corrected himself.

“Good”. I said as we got there.

“Are you two a couple or something like that?”. Reece asked frowning.

I glared at him. “Do you have a problem, Reece Carter?”.

“My problem is Jeremy”. He said suddenly.

Jeremy gawped. “Me?”.

“If Shannon finds out that you are holding hands with other girls then you are in big trouble”. He said. “I’ll help”.

Then he did something unexpectedly, he intentionally pulled Jeremy away from me removing our intertwined fingers.

I crossed my arms. “You certainly have a problem, what’s wrong with Jeremy and I holding hands? He is my best friend”.

“Well no one wants to see that”. He replied somewhat angry.
