"So, did you enjoy the party?" a male voice asked me from my right. I was sat nonchalantly at my desk, waiting for Mr. Ryans to walk in and for Maths to begin, as Jake slid down into the seat next to me. 

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun thanks," I replied, throwing a smile at him. Inside, I was screaming as memories of that night came back. I wasn't sure being locked in a bedroom, playing drunk truth or dare with Nick Wright was my idea of fun. Fortunately, it seemed everybody was too absorbed in the party to notice our coincidental absence - or so I well and truly hoped so.

"I'm checking because sadly I didn't really see you very much," he commented. I couldn't help but freeze, if for only a second before I recovered myself. I managed to conjure up a, hopefully, confident sounding chuckle before replying. 

"Funny," I began, "I didn't see you much either," I finished. Nice save, Mill, I inwardly congratulated myself. I added a smile onto the end of the sentence and before Jake could react further, Satan himself, Mr. Ryans, walked in.

"Ah, I do love the sound of seniors avidly awaiting their results of last weeks test," Mr. Ryans spoke across the chatter and quickly the room quietened. I leaned back in my chair, willing the ground to swallow me up there and then. Why did Mr Ryans make me feel so uneasy? He waltzed around the room handing out the graded test papers, an evil smile perched on his face.

"Hm, Millie," I heard him begin as the man's shadow cast itself across my desk. I inwardly winced at his expression and looked up at him slowly. 

"Well done," he finished, pressing his lips together into a thin line as he handed me the paper. My eyes almost popped out of my head as I saw the bright red 'B' at the top of the page. It was safe to say I didn't see that coming. Leaning back slowly in my chair, I glanced around to see if anybody had witnessed my shock. Fortunately, everybody was absorbed in their own test results to have noticed, since they all were studying their papers, including Jake. 

Checking that the letter on the top of my test paper was actually a 'B' once more, a small smile settled onto my face - I had actually passed a Maths test and it wasn't even as if I had scraped a pass. Mr. Ryans then proceeded to go through the test and soon enough, the lesson was over.

I made my way out of the classroom and proceeded to the toilets. I was about to walk out of my cubicle when I heard Isla Wright's high pitched voice enter the toilets. 

"Yes, Lou, all of the boys are meeting us at the diner in half an hour," she began before silence followed, since, obviously, Lou was replying to her.

"I already spoke to Noah, Sam, Reece and Scott. Everybody is coming, Lou," she spoke again, reeling off the names of her cousins and brother. I stayed silent in my cubicle, not wanting to go out and face the awkwardness that would descend over us. 

"Okay, well Nick isn't going but-" she was cut off, "I've got no idea why not-" and cut off again, "Listen, Lou, are you coming or no?" Isla questioned her cousin. I heard a tap turn on and then the sound of paper towels being pulled from the dispenser.
