-Last time on Love never dies:

"She's such a wierdo, screaming like she was going to be murdered in the middle of homeroom. There must be something wrong with that girl." I just thought they were being mean, but I couldn´t help but kinda agree with them something was definitely wrong with Mal, I just didn´t know what.

Ben's pov

We arrived at History and the teacher had yet to come, so I looked around and tried to see where I could sit that was relatively close to the siblings, as they were my only friends so far and all the seats were divided in two (or in the back three). I glanced at the siblings and saw them move to the back. I followed them and saw that Evie and Mal sat down in the seat in front of the three seats, where the male siblings where sitting. I asked them if anybody was sitting next to them and found out no one was. I sat down and looked through my bag for my books. When I found them I sat back up and talked with the siblings for a bit before the teacher came and said that we were doing a group project that would be presented in one to two months. We were allowed to choose our own groups, but we had to draw the subject from a hat. I hesitantly looked at the quartet and asked if I could be in a group with them, they turned to each other for a second before nodding. Carlos then went to the teacher and told him/her who were in his group, drew a subject out of the hat and returned to his seat. Mal looked at him and asked what subject we got. He opened the note and it said 'Criminals: the hero or the villains' "Alright I guess we can work with that" Jay said and the others and I nodded. We had the rest of the lesson to plan the project and we all agreed that we could work on it after school. "Wait. If we are going to work after school, where should we go? My place or yours?" I asked, secretly hoping we would not go to my place, as I don't want dad to scare them away from me. They started mumbling between each other and after a little while, Mal shyly asked "Maybe we could take turns? First your place then ours how does that sound?" I thought about it and I agreed I could just call mom and ask her to keep dad away long enough so we could get to my room. She looked relived for some reason and we sat and just talked until the bell rang for lunch, we all packed our bags and rose from our seats. We walked towards the lunchroom, it had big doors that led outside, and went into the lunch line. We all chose our food, well I had my apple and sandwich so I just chose a drink, and walked outside, to a bench placed under a tree where we sat down and started eating. After she finished, Mal picked up a notepad and started drawing while Evie played with her hair. Jay, Carlos and I just sat and talked. Then they became quiet and I heard someone clearing their throat behind me. I turned around and saw Audrey, an old family friend. I did not really like her because she was so bossy. "Benny boo what are you doing?" She asked. "What does it look like? I'm eating lunch with my friends." She looked at them and scrunched her nose. "I see… Well do you want to hang out after school? I haven't gotten to spend any time with you recently." She batted her eyelashes and pouted "Sorry Audrey, I can't. I'm going to work on a group project with my friends after school. Maybe another time?" She looked at me shocked and just walked away. I breathed out in relief. I really didn't want to hang out with her she was super bossy and always called me stupid nicknames like.. "Benny boo? What the Lucifer is that for nickname?" Jay said and they all started laughing. I felt my cheeks starting to heat up and I looked the other way embarrassed. Then, I felt a hand on my arm and turned to see Mal staring at me. "Are you alright? We didn't mean to upset you, it just sounded funny." How can someone be so sweet? Not just in looks but in personality too. I think I will enjoy being friends with these people. "Yeah! I'm alright just a little embarrassed." I said with a small smile. She smiled back and when the others had calmed down we sat and talked, then I saw Evie slip something to Mal that she quickly put in her bag the bell rang and I checked my schedule. "I have gym now do any of you have it?" Jay and Carlos nodded while Evie and Mal shook their heads. " No, we have music class now, but we have art together later" Evie said. "Oh alright I guess we´ll see you later then?" I said as me and the boys were about to walk away, they nodded and waved goodbye. When we arrived to the locker room we changed clothes and walked out to the field, there the coach/gym teacher had divided the field in two. "We have two sports to choose between today, volleyball or football,I will come and choose team captains and they will divide teams you have one minute to decide what you want to play then we will begin." Me, Jay and Carlos walked over to the football side where they were starting to discuss teams. The coach came over and pointed at Jay and another guy he called … , he had light brown hair and brown eyes, he looked kinda arrogant,( and when he was called by the coach he was flirting with a few girls) Coach just sighed at him and said they were team captains. He and Jay began saying names and the person they called went to their side, Jay quickly called Carlos and me to his team. Then when the last person was selected we began playing.
