"Tell me now or I'm going to be bugging you all day and you know I will. Something is clearly wrong with you and I want to know what it is. Maybe I can help." I said, looking Cody in the eyes, trying to find an emotion of any kind.

We've been sitting at the lunch table for the past 15 minutes and all I've been doing is trying to get Cody to reveal what's wrong with him. He's been drooping around all day. He has dark circles under his saggy eyes and his hair is all messed up from him running his hands through it all day.

"Nothing's wrong with me Kylie. Just leave me alone. I'm gonna be walking home today so don't come looking for me." He said, storming off, dropping his napkins along the way.

"Ugh! That boy is so aggravating! I'm gonna figure out what's bothering him one way or another."

"One way or another I'm gonna find ya I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha." Brooklyn broke out singing a One Direction song.

"This is not the time Brooklyn. Something is wrong with your brother and all you are gonna do about it is sing?!" I shouted, annoyed by her childish ways.

"Calm down. He'll tell us when he's ready. I'm not gonna hound him like our mom. Maybe he has a reason for not telling us. It's none of our business."

"But I want to help." I stated.

"I know you do, but he doesn't want help. If he does, he'll come to you. Don't go to him."

"Fine." I pouted.

I love helping people. It makes me feel wonderful knowing I actually influenced they're happiness. When I can't help someone that needs it, I feel horrible. They need me but I can't seem to do anything about it.

"Hey Kylie, sorry to interrupt your deep thinking, but Future boyfriends ex girlfriend is walking over here."

"Why didn't you just use their names?" I asked, amused by her spy like codes.

"I don't know. It's cooler using codes."

I laughed, taking a bite out of my distasteful chicken sandwich. I watched Loren through the corner of my eye until she reached our table.

"Hey girls. I just wanted to see if I could sit with you. Ezra and his friends are sleazy perverts." She said, pointing to the group of cocky guys.

"Of course." I said, patting the empty seat next to me. "We all know how those annoying guys can be."

"Yeah, I don't see how y'all have put up with 'em for this long. Especially that jerk Austen."

At the mention of his name, I choked on my chicken.

"Oh my gosh! Kylie, are you okay?" Loren asked worriedly, patting my back, trying to help me regain my breath.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine. Just a little thirsty." I said, taking a sip of my iced tea.

"Oh. Okay. You scared me to death." She stated, holding her right hand over her heart.

Brooklyn noticed my discomfort and started asking Loren questions about herself. I zoned out after the 2nd question. I haven't really spoken to Ezra all day which I found odd. He text me this morning but I figured he would have talked to me face to face. I hope he's not trying to ignore me because of Loren. Oh gosh! What of he is? What of he doesn't want Loren to know him and I went on a date? I mean, we did go to the party but she doesn't know we went on a date. What if he wants to start dating her again? She did sit with him for the first part of lunch. He would've normally came over here and said hi to me but he didn't today. Oh no. He thinks our date went horrible. He probably realizes he can get someone way better than me.
