I managed to find my way to Carters house. He asked a bunch of questions about how I got here but I lied and told him someone dropped me off.

"Good morning." I managed to yawn out as I stretched my limbs.

"Good morning." Carter said back.

After I got here, I instantly went to bed.

"Charwie!" Toby poked me.

"Hi bubba, what's up?"

"Me and Carter played video games last night and it was so fun!!" He jumped up and down.

I looked over at Carter and he was looking at Toby with a big smile on his face. "How fun." I tried to sound enthusiastic but I was still a little tired from coming back late.

The whole walk home, I was worried I was going to get jumped or shot.

"What time is it?" I mumbled.

"7:30." He said calmly. Then both of our eyes widened. "WE ARE LATE!!"

After scrambling to get ready, we finally got to school. I was 20 minutes late to my first period but it could've been worse.

I stopped in front of the class door. I really hope nobody looks at me when I walk in.

Surely enough, when I walk in to give the teacher my note, the class was staring at me. But the only person who didn't take their eyes off of me was Ames. Oh shoot I forgot he was in this class.

I quietly sat down at my desk and avoided looking towards Ames at all costs. Once again, papers and pokes were being thrown my way.

"Leave me the fuck alone." I mouthed. That must have gotten to him because the rest of the class period, he didn't bother me anymore.

When Toby and I got home, John wasn't there. So I cleaned the house and cooked him his favorite food; steak. Hopefully that will makeup for not coming home yesterday.

The front door opened and my step father appeared. "I cleaned the house and made you steaks." I told him, a puppy dog look on my face.

"Where were you yesterday." He asked calmly.

"I was at Carters, we had to finish a important school project." He nodded his head and passed me to go into the kitchen. When I turned around, a slap touched my face.

"Tell me next time." I cupped my cheek in my hand and nodded.

Walking back to my room, I was surprised at how easily he let me off. Not complaining though.

I jumped on my bed and did homework while Toby was sleeping. That's when I heard my phone beep.

Hey Charlie, it's Ames. Talk to me please. -Ames

I rolled my eyes and continued my chemistry homework. Ding ding. My phone ringed again. But instead of looking at it, I turned it completely off.
