"It's been awhile old friend." I stared at the rusty cold metal in my hands. Should I?

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Leda, I have to take a dump." Derek stated. I couldn't help but laugh, he's such a dork.
"Hold on." "Okay. But I don't think I can." I picked up all my makeup and put it back. I grabbed the blade and threw it in the tiolet. Bye old friend.

"Finally!" Derek pushed past me and ran into the restroom.
"You okay?" Jacky hugged me. "No, but I'm gonna get better."

The Next Day

I woke up and immediately felt bad. Ugh. I pulled the covers over my face and heard footsteps approaching. "Are you-" "Get out!!" "Sorry." Ronnie mumbled and walked away.

Knock.

"What?" "I'm going to the drugstore, do you want anything?" Jacky asked as he twirled the keys around his index finger. "Yeah. Some rainbow sherbert please." "Okay. I'll be back in a bit." "Thanks." "Your welcome." He turned around and smiled a cute little smile.

Wait! Cute?!

"Hey Leda. Wanna play games?" Derek asked. I nodded and he helped me untangle myself from all my blankets.

"Where's Ryan?" I asked as I sat on the couch next to Ronnie. "He went to the airport to pick up his girlfriend." "Kimmy?!" I yelled which scared Ronnie. "Why are you so energetic all of a sudden?" "Because there's gonna be another female on the bus!" Ronnie chuckled, "Your something else Leda." I layed my head on his shoulder and he moved so I could be more comfortable. "I'm sorry about Alix." "Don't be."

"Hey how about we have a movie night tonight?" Derek suggested.

"Yeah. Sounds fun."

"Guys, this is my girlfriend Kimmy." A pretty girl emerged from behind Ryan. "Hi." She waved shyly. "I love your shirt." I looked down at my Nirvana shirt and smiled. "We're gonna get along just fine."
