Nick went up to his locker and put his books in. He turned around and noticed his locker was across from Lainey's. Lainey and Brent were talking and kissing each other. Nick quickly looked away.

"Hey Nick," Lainey grinned. Her and Brent were holding hands.

"Hey," Nick smiled at her.

"I have football practice after school but I'll see you after that right babe?" Brent asked and put his arms around her waist. He mainly looked at Nick and smirked.

"Yes of course." They both kissed each other and he walked off.

"So that's your boyfriend..." Nick said.

"Yeah you met him yesterday remember?"

"I remember. How long have you two dated?"

"5 months."

"Oh really? That's um cool."

"Yeah. Hey I think you two would be good friends. We should all hang out sometime. Shayla too." She smiled.

"That'd be great." Nick faked a grin. Me and Brent being friends? That guy hates my guts. He thought.

"Cool." She smiled. "Well let's get to class. Don't want to be late to Mr. Grotowski again." She sighed. They walked into his class.

"Well well Miss Reynolds you're a little early to my class," Mr. Grotowski said.

"Yeah I'm here," Lainey said and sat down.

"Hey guys," Shayla said and smiled.

"Hey Shayla," Nick said.

Shayla giggled a little and fixed her hair. Lainey rolled her eyes at her.

"Watch this," Shayla whispered to Nick. "Hey Lainey did you do your homework?"

Lainey's eyes widened. "There was homework?!" She quickly took her math binder out and checked through it.

"No! Calm down." Shayla laughed at her. Nick chuckled.

"Hey that's so not funny!" Lainey nudged her.

Mr. Grotowski had polynomial examples on the board. "Miss Lainey Reynolds would you come up here and do this problem?"

Ugh crap! I don't know this stuff. She thought. She went up to the board and stared at it for some time.

"I don't have all day Miss Reynolds," Mr. Grotowski pressured her.

"Hold on I'm trying to figure this out," Lainey said. The class snickered.

"Hear let me show you." He explained to her how to do it and did the problem and wrote the answer down.

Lainey sat back down and had a straight face. She got out a chocolate chip cookie from her bag. "Want some?" she asked Nick and Shayla. He noticed her black and red cat bag. It had speakers and had different rock and post-hardcore band logo patches on it.

"No thanks," Shayla said.

"I'll have some. Thanks," Nick said. Lainey gave him a piece. "By the way your bag looks awesome. Is that speakers?"

"Yeah it is. I got it online and I love it." She took out a blue Gatorade and drank it.

Mr. Grotowski sighed and went to Lainey's desk. "Miss Reynolds the only item you may drink in here is water. I'm tired of repeating the rules day in and day out." He took her Gatorade. "You may have it at the end of class."
