Bailey's POV:

"So what are we doing?" I ask for I don't know how many times but it's clear that Skylar's annoyed, who wouldn't be I sound like a child asking 'Are we there yet?' on a road trip. I've been asking all day and she hasn't given me a single clue at all. She looks at me then back at her work, "Skylar, what are we doing?" I ask again and she once again looks at me with a very annoyed look that I actually find cute, so either way I'm winning at this right now and she has no idea.

"You know you're annoying." She puts her pencil down staring at me, "At this moment, yes I know I'm annoying." I laugh a little and she rolls her eyes, "Bailey, is there something you would like to share with the class?" My teacher calls me out and everyone turns their heads to the back of the class where I sit, "Uh no." I sit up properly hearing Skylar snicker and everyone turns their head back around, "Good, then please your conversation to a minimum, and you Skylar, I know Mr. Bloom has notified a few teachers about your class situation so please don't distract Bailey anymore." I smirk as the teacher called out Skylar, "Yes ma'am." Skylar clears her throat.

I look at her trying to keep my smile in but failed and she shook her head at me going back to her work while trying to hide her smirk. I wrote 'What are we doing?' on the corner of my notebook and I ripped around it and tossed it to Skylar. I watched as she opened it only for her to stare at me for the action. I put my hands together like I'm praying and she shook her head so I pouted my bottom lip but she shook her head again, what's going to get this girl to say something.

I looked back at my notebook to write something then the paper gets tossed back at me, I opened it up and saw her handwriting, 'I swear if you mention something about the chocolate chip cookies I will steal all of your stuff and never give it back. >:(' she even added an angry face, that's adorable, who knew that someone who breaks criminals out of jail can be so cute.

I wrote back threatening with the chocolate chip cookies and I didn't hear anything after that, she actually threw the piece of paper at my head and it bounced out of reach for me so I couldn't get it. I can't believe she threw it at my head, "That was rude." I whisper over to her and she just stuck out her tongue and so I did the same. "You started it." She whispers back and I shook my head, the bell suddenly rang and I quickly put my stuff away, then all of the sudden my bag gets pulled out of my hands, "You did this to yourself." Skylar's face appears close to mine as she smirks then she bolts away, I didn't have time to process what happened.

I'm going to miss my bus. I got up running out of the classroom into the hall trying to pass everyone as they looked at me weird for running, where did she go? I ran deeper into the sea of kids each of them trying to go their own way and I see Carmen, "Why are you running?" She asks looking up from her phone, "Skylar took my stuff and ran, did you see her? We're going to miss the bus." I pant, "You're really running after her, she went outside probably to her bike." Carmen points out and thank her before running out to the student parking lot. It didn't take long to find her and I stomped my way over to her as she casually smiles at me with her chin on her palm.

"You look a little mad, are you okay?" She asks as if nothing happened. "You took my backpack." I state trying to see if it's on her person, "I did nothing of the sort." She pretends to check her nails, that doesn't exist. Oh? They're short, very short. Bailey now is not the time. "Yes you did, we both ran and the entire student body saw." I cross my arms over my chest, "Now that's not true, there were already kids out here when I got out here." She points around the parking lot, "I hate you." I huff getting closer but I literally don't see my backpack at all. "Aww I hate you too." She winks. What is she doing to me? Bailey focus.

"Skylar, where's my backpack!" This was a demand and she put her arms up in surrender, "Fine I'll look for it myself." I walk past her looking into the side bags opening the flaps, "Do you really want to know where your stuff is?" She asks and I slam the flap shut walking back to face her and I widen my eyes to prove that I want to know, "I gave it to another kid." She deadpans and my jaw drops, "You're kidding." I let my arms fall to my sides, "Nope it's with another student." She sighs confidently, "SkyLAARRR!!" I grabbed onto the collar of her shirt and I started shaking her back and forth until my arms got tired and I pulled her close making out foreheads touch.

"Where is my backpack?" I huff again, this has to really weird for all the by standards. "Oh, what the fuck are you two about to kiss?" We heard Carmen's voice and we both pulled away from each other, "What? No, and you have my backpack!" She comes closer and I snatch it away from her hugging it close to my chest, oh I've missed it, my Pride and Prejudice book is in here. "Wait why do you have it? How do you have it?" I start questioning both of them.

"Miss. Pretend-To-Be-Robber here gave me twenty dollars to hold onto your stuff and pretend that I didn't have it making you believe that she still has it and as you can see it worked." Carmen explains, "You helped her, whyyyy?" I whine, "It was twenty dollars and I need my nails touched up." I can't believe my best friend chose her nails over me. "I can't believe the both of you, what are you friends now since you two have a common interest in bullying me?" I continue to hug my precious backpack and they look at each other with disgusted faces then at me, "No." They said at the same time.

"Why would you even think that?" Carmen makes a fake gagging sound only to stop when another body steps closer to us, "Hey guys, Bailey I was wondering if you needed a ride home my parents said I don't need to stay at your house again but the team is still there but I just thought if you needed the ride again, I wouldn't mind giving you a lift." Tyler stands beside me pointing at his car, "Uh no, she already has a ride." Skylar speaks up before I even could, "Really?" Tyler raises an eyebrow and Skylar nods patting the leather spot behind her.

"Yup, we got plans later so I'm going to take her home thanks though." She winks at me again and I look over at the boy, "She's right though, we made last minute plans earlier in class but thanks Ty." I step closer to the bike, "Cool uh do you need a ride, Carmen?" He looks at her and she puts on another disgusted face, "Please riding in that loud ass dodge is going to break my eardrums so I'll take the bus." She waves him off, "Alright understood but does Bailey have a helmet for your bike?" He asks but before he finished talking Skylar was already holding it up.

"Of course, you think I'm gonna let her ride with me without a helmet. Damn who do you think I am dodge boy?" She holds the helmet up more, "Actually I like you a little bit more now." Carmen points at Skylar, "Uh okay then, my dodge is beautiful by the way, and keep that energy we could use it for prom. I'll see you around Bailey." He awkwardly waves before walking away.

"That was equally gay as it was hetero and I loved it but I need to go before the bus leaves but that was entertaining. Bails I love you, text me when you get home standing on solid ground preferably. Skylar if there's a scratch on her I'm going to pull a vasectomy on you." She walks away and both Skylar and I look at each other, "She knows I'm a girl right." She outs the helmet in my hands taking my backpack and putting it in the side bag, "Yeah she just likes using male body parts to make threats." I shrug my shoulders and I slide the helmet over my head after getting behind Skylar.

"Are you going to tell me the rest of this plan that we had that you proposed without me knowing any of it?" I wrap my arms around her torso, "Nope you're going to have to wait and see Beans." Her bike roars to life making a few people look at us as she pulls out of the student parking lot.
