"Hey Alex Where's The Team Captain ?"I Asked Him While They We're Warming Up"Somewhere He Has A Temper He's Been Distracted
All Day"Alex Said .

"Oh...If You See Him Tell Him I'm Looking For Him"I Said"I Don't Know His Name"I Said And He Laughed
"It's Travis"Alex Said And I Excused
Myself Looking For Him Seeing
No One Was Here For After
School Activities

"You Going Home?"My School Vice Principal Asked Me"Not Yet I'm Looking For The New Student"I
Said And She Pointed In The
Direction He Was In I Thanked
Her.

I Walked To The Opposite Side Of Campus Seeing He Was In The Library Alone I Walked Inside And Went Up The Top Floor Seeing Him Have His Hands In His Face Pacing Back And Fourth With His Stuff And Books Shattered All Over The Floor

"I Believe This Is Yours"I Tapped On Him Holding The Pendant Up He Moved His Hands Looking At The Necklace And Back At Me I Took His Hand Giving It Back Seeing How Calmed And Relieved He Was Seeing
It I Understood It Was Important To Him .

"It Some How Ended Up In My Bag
When We Bumped Into Eachother-"I Stopped Talking When He Hugged Me
Tight Hearing How Heavily He Was Breathing I Slowly Put My Hands Around Him Patting His Back
"It's Okay So Just Relax,Yeah?"
He Nodded Small Taking Deep
Breaths Out

"Thank You I Owe You"He Said And Pulled Away He Was Alittle Taller Than Me But Not That Much Still Seeing How Close We Were To Eachother I Bent Down Picking Up
His Stuff Putting Them In His Bag Giving It To Him .

"You Should Go To Practice,Now
That It's With You"I Said Looking
At His Necklace And Smiled To Him Leaving Out The Library

"Hi Dad,I Just Got Out Of After School I'm Heading To Get Something To Eat And Study For Alittle"I Said On The Phone Itching My Neck Feeling That Sense Around Me Again I Was All Out Of Molly And Vapes So I Couldn't Take
The Edge Off Right Now.

"Text Me When You Get There And
I'll Get Off Work"Dad Said I Hummed Telling Him To Take His Time Walking
Down To My Favorite Restaurant
Saying Goodbye Hanging Up I
Looked Through My Bag Trying
To Find Anything To Take The
Edge Off

Luckily I Saw My Supplier At The
Park Talking With Diego's Cousin
And Peter Diego's Brother"The Usually?"He Asked"Not The Whole Packs Just Five Of Each"I Said And Went To The Bathroom He Gave Me My Stuff I Slid Them Into The Secret Part Of My Backpack Giving Him The Money .

"You Gonna Be In That Boxing Match It's Gonna Pay Alot"Liam Asked
Moving His Bangs Out The Way So
His Pretty Light Brown Hair Wasn't
In His Face I Told Him I'll Probably Enter I Was Trying To Figure Out
My Schedule"If You Do I'm Betting
On You I Seen You Box And I Wouldn't Want To Be The Other Person"He Said I Laughed

"Thanks Liam See You Around"I Said And Walked Back Outside Taking Another Five Minute Walk Texting

I Greeted Her Sitting By The Window Getting All My Stuff Out"I'll Have
A Chocolate Frappe With Light
