Scarlett didn't have biology with me for second period, but she was in my lunch as well as guitar class. "I'll see you later," I say as I drop her off at her second period. It would be rude not to show her where to go. This school was so big and the map wasn't very helpful.

"See ya. And thanks again for walking me here," she says.

"Of course," I say with a smile and then walk off to biology. I can't wait to tell Evan about Scarlett. Hopefully everyone will accept her into our friend group.

The bell rings right as I walk in and I'm the last one to arrive. The teacher looked over at me with a disapproving glance, but didn't say anything. It's not like I did anything wrong, though. I was still in class on time.

"Hey," I say to Evan as I sit down.

"Hey, you're later than usual?" He questions.

"Yeah. There's this new girl in my gym class who I walked to her second period. She's really sweet, her name is Scarlett. We have lunch with her so I'll introduce you then," I tell him.

He nods his head. "Awesome. It's good because I'm getting bored of all of you guys," he jokes.

"Aw shut up. You love us," I say, nudging him with my elbow.

"More like tolerate, but call it what you want," he says.

"Ellie, Evan, do you have something you want to share with the class?" The teacher asks.

"No," I say back. Lookin around the room, I notice that all eyes are on us. Well, this is great.

"Good. As far as I'm concerned, the first 15 minutes of class is always spent silent and working on the drill, correct?" She asks. God, I hate this teacher more than anyone.

"Yeah," I say and look down at my empty notebook paper, pretending to work.

A few minutes pass and the teacher speaks again. "I will be collecting this drill for a grade. Yes, on accuracy. You can thank your chatty students in the back," she says.

Really? Someone clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

A series of 'ughs' and sighs were heard around the room as the teacher came around to collect our papers.

I still haven't written anything down since she doesn't usually collect these things. Quickly, I scribble my name on the top and write a sentence about photosynthesis on the paper. Not that we're learning about photosynthesis or anything, but hey, it's better than nothing.

Evan looks over at my paper and chuckles. "We're learning about cellular respiration. Photosynthesis was like a week ago," he says.

"Yeah, yeah, same thing," I say. "I couldn't care less about my biology grade," I tell him truthfully.

"You know what? You're right. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the same thing," he laughs.

"Told you, nerd," I joke.

The teacher passes by our desks and picks up our papers. "If you spent your time wisely, you should have no trouble getting an A on this test," the teacher says. We all know that's not true, though. Only if she liked you you'll get an A. Otherwise, you get a low B at the most.

The bell rings at the end of class and Evan and I quickly rush out of the class, not wanting to be in there any longer than we have to.

We walk to lunch together after stopping at my locker to grab my lunch. "Hey, I'll meet you over there," I tell Evan as we walk in the cafeteria. "I'm going to find Scarlett first."

"Ok, see ya," he says, waving and walking off.

I look around the cafeteria until I spot her standing by the front of the room. She must be waiting for me, as she seems to be looking around.

"Scarlett, hey!" I say as I approach her.

"Oh, hey! I was lookin for you," She tells me.

"You should come sit with my friends and me. They're all really nice, you'll like them," I say.

"Ok, I will. Thanks for helping me out so much today," she says.

"You're welcome. You seem like a great person," she says.

We walk over to our table and sit down. I sit next to Ryan and Scarlett sits next to me on the circular table.

"You guys, this is Scarlett. She's new," I say. She waves to everyone.

"Hi, Scarlett. I'm Claire," Claire says, introducing herself first.

The rest of them introduce themselves as well, except for Rachel who apparently has second period with Scarlett.

"Hey, again," Rachel says with a laugh. "We have second period together. It's great now that I have someone I rant to about Mr. Greenwood. He's the worst."

"Yeah, he seems really strict," Scarlett agrees.

After lunch Ryan and I head to history. Evan and Scarlett have their next period together so he decided to walk with her to class.

We got to history and sat down in our usual seats. The teacher gives us a partner assignment, which I'm thankful for since it means Ryan and I can talk all class. I look over at Ryan and he seems to be a little nervous.

"Hey, are you okay?" I ask concerned.

He lets out a breathy laugh and nods his head. "Yeah, there's just something I wanted to ask you," he says.

"Of course. You can ask me anything, you know that," I say.

"Okay, here goes nothing, I guess," he says. I gave him a reassuring smile to let him know to continue. "Would you like to go to homecoming with me?" He asks, regaining his usual confidence.

I smile. "I know it's not really romantic, asking in a history class, but I couldn't wait any longer to ask," he says before I can say anything.

"Ryan, I'd love to go with you!" I say with the biggest smile on my face.

I'm not sure if Ryan is looking for a relationship or just to keep our friendship, but I'm kind of hoping this turns into something. Ever since Kyle and I broke up, I've been feeling rather attached to Ryan. Hopefully he feels the same.
