Monday rolled around a lot quicker than I had wanted it to. I was dreading walking into the school building, still confused about the Andre situation.

Lost in my thoughts, I bump into someone, which happens to be Brandi. "Sorry," I mumble; I was in no mood to deal with her. "Yeah, sorry." She mimics. I rolled my eyes, "what are you, two?" She ignored my question, following me to my locker.

"How was Andre?" She sneered, I shrugged. "I don't know what was he?" Shouldn't be me asking her that? Isn't she one of the many girls he has a thing with? "You're happy he's paying attention to you, aren't you?" She seemed to be getting upset. "Yay, Andre's texting me..big deal," I said sarcastically. She shook her head in disbelief, "don't get your hopes up!" Brandi walked away, leaving me in confusion.

Ashley was next to approach me, "what was that about?" She looked worried. "Something about Andre." Cooper popped out of nowhere. "What about Andre?" Ashley and I spoke at the same thing, "nothing!"

"Why can't I know?" Coop frowned. "Maybe because you get a little crazy whenever it comes to Andre." Ashley retorted. "Do not!" Cooper protested. "Maybe, I should talk to her about it." Ashley offered. Cooper snorted. I don't know why you try; she's a-" Ashley was glaring at Cooper. "Never mind." He trailed off.

"I'll see you guys after class," I said, heading off to math class.

Cooper, Anna, Andy, James, and I all sat at one table. No one was really talking, except for Anna. Rambling about something, I wasn't paying attention. My head was laid on the table.

Ashley stood at the head of the table, her hands crossed over her chest. "Brandi's here to apologize." I lifted my head from the table, now interested. "For what?" I asked. Brandi rolled her eyes. "Those text from Andre were fake."

"So, they weren't from Andre?" Coop asked happily. "Coop, she just said that...keep up." James joked Cooper ignored him. "Why would you do something like Brandi?" Anna asked. "Calm down, County Bumpkin. It was just a joke."

James mumbled, "jokes are actually funny." Brandi raised an eyebrow, "well, I could care less what you guys think." Ashley sighed, "Bye, Ashley." She smiled at Ash. "Whenever you get tired of these scrubs, you know where to find me." James made a disgusted face.

Ashley sat down with another sigh. I felt her pain. I don't know how she dealt with Brandi.

Cooper was my ride home, like always. My best friend was quite attractive. The smile on my face was removed when Andre stepped in front of me.

"Quinn?" Not him, no. If I heard about Andre Sanders one more time, I might scream. Why did he always seem to be the topic of discussion? What was so special about him?

"What do you want, Andre?" I snapped more than I intended to. "What's got your panties in a twist?" I looked at with wide eyes. "Can't you just leave me alone?" I was aggravated more than ever; his comment didn't help either.

I didn't expect Cooper to push Andre back. "Stay away from here, Andre!" I grabbed Cooper's arm. "Cooper, I'm fine." Didn't I tell him I didn't need his protection? "Of course, you'd come to the rescue Cooper, that's the only thing you try to be good at." I looked between the two. Andre calm with a smirk on his face, and Cooper angry.

"Cooper, let's go." I pulled him away, realizing that a crowd was forming. I hated too much attention to me. Cooper walked away, slamming his car door shut. I looked back at Andre, talking to a few people. He still didn't seem dangerous. I was starting to think he wasn't all that bad.
