I slid my phone into my pocket before looking over at Cover, who's in the driver's seat. "I don't want to go to school" I grumbled as I crossed my arms over my chest.

She laughed softly "And you think I do?" she asked glancing over at me. "You'll be fine Dee, tomorrows Friday so you won't have to deal with school for too much longer".

She patted my hand while talking, I suspiciously listened to her, She seems different.

"Why are you staring at me, do I have something on my face?" she fake pouted.

"No, it's nothing" I said, turning to look away.

It took the usual 10-15 minutes to get to school, after Cover parked her car we both got out.

I interlocked my arm with hers as we walked to our first class. When we got to the classroom we separated like usual and sat at our seats.

"Hey Lucas" I said while placing my bag down.

"Hey! do you think this dude is hot?" he asks holding his phone up to reveal a picture of a shirtless man.

"uhm... He's naked!" I said looking away.

"He's not naked he has pants on!" he argued.

"Who even is that" I mumbled looking at the picture again, trying to avoid looking at the mans body.

He gasped "You don't know who Jackson Wang is?" he said as if he was offended.

"Um.. no?" I said but before he could say anything a teacher walked into the classroom.

It wasn't the usual teacher, which was weird.

"Hello everyone, sadly I bring you guys so harsh news this morning" she said in a caring tone.

Everyone's attention was now on the Lady as she spoke.

"Last night... our very own teacher, Mr. Jefferson committed suicide" she said, starting to sniffle at the end.

She bought a tissue up to her face, wiping away a tear.

All I could do was sit there and stare at her in shock. Mr. Jefferson committed suicide? why would he do such a thing?

"You guy must be very upset at this news, so the school has set up a place in the counselors office if you guys feel emotional and need to talk" she said.

"That will be all, for now Ms. Freedman will be your substitute teacher" she said as a middle aged woman walked into the room, who I assume is Ms. Freedman.

The other lady left while drying tears from her face.

"Okay everyone, shall we get started?" the lady asked while sitting down at the teachers desk, everyone looking around in confusion.
______________________________________

     Today was a quiet day, I guess the news of Mr. Jefferson has already spread around the school.

I was in Gym class right now, bouncing a basketball pretending like I know what I'm doing.

While I was doing so I felt something push me, making me fall to the ground.

"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry" Came the voice of Cassie Mclain.

The girl was quite popular at this school, she had tons if friends. Speaking of which, I could see her friend group pretty close by.

Cassie bent her knees a bit and held her hand out to me. Hesitantly I took her hand and she pulled me up.

She looked around me "Where's your friends?" she asked and my face grew red at the idea of telling her my one and only friend wasn't in this class.

"T-they didn't come today" I lied as I shuffled my feet.

"You can come hang out with me and my friends" she said kindly, taking me by suprise.

Inside my head I was wondering why a girl like Cassie would talk to me. Her 5'8, blonde hair, and nice body was what made her popular. I would be lying if I said she wasn't gorgeous. And she was rumored to have a good personality.

"Are you sure?" I asked shyly, not wanting to be a bother.

"Of course I am, you look so lonely standing her by yourself" she smiled while ruffling my hair.

She interlocked her slim arm with mine "Come on, my friends are these girls over here" she said, which I already knew due to the girls popularity.

"Hey guys! this is umm" she looked at me, probably realizing she doesn't exactly know my name.

"It's Delaney" I mumbled.

"Delaney!" she repeated in her chirpy voice.

The group of four girls each said their hellos. I stared up at the group of tall girls ranging between the heights of 5'7 to 6'0.

"Girl! either do something physical or take your girl drama out of my gym" the gym teacher yelled at us.

When the teacher looked away the girls let out a small giggle.

Jessie, one of the taller ones picked up a volleyball and we all started trowing it around in a circle, so it looked like we where doing something.

"I can't believe what happened to Mr. Jefferson" Olivia said as the ball was passed to her.

"Yeah, it's crazy" Jessie said afterwards.

"Don't you guys think he kinda deserved it?" Cassie said, making me turn my head to her quickly.

"What?" I ask, I must have misheard her.. nobody would say something like that.

"I said, don't you think he deserved it? after what he did?" She repeated a d it made me even more confused.

"I'm confused... what did he do to deserve death?" I asked.

"Oh you didn't hear?" she said throwing the ball. "Multiple girls have complained about him sexually assaulting them or just being weird in general" she finished.

"woah, I didn't know that" I said, my eyes wide with shock.

"Do you guys know Cassandra from second year? apparently Mr. Jefferson took upskirt pictures of her" Liliana says, using her hand to flip her black hair behind her shoulder.

"Aren't you in his homeroom class?" Jessie asks me.

"Oh um.. Yeah" I say, catching the ball.

"I'm surprised you haven't noticed anything weird" Cassie said.

I try to think hard about anything that he's done. "He's offered to drive me home once" I say, but that isn't too weird.

"A teacher shouldn't offer a student that" Olivia commented.

"I'm glad you didn't take the offer, who knows what he could have done" Cassie says, nudging my shoulder.

I smiled at her, she's really caring.

I caught the ball from Olivia. but as I caught it the bell rung making me Yelp and drop it, Causing the girls to laugh.

"You're so adorable Lani" Cassie says ruffling my hair once again.

"Lani?" I question, looking up at her.

"It's the nickname I thought of for you, I hope you don't mind" she said smiling down at me.

"I- I don't mind" I smile softly at her.

"I have a free period so I'll walk Lani to class you guys" she says to her friends while slinging her arm over my shoulder.
