“Did you guys hear about it?” Mason questioned in excitement. I frowned at him. Jason was by his side but he didn’t look half as excited as Mason. Xander and Damien, who were standing with me, shook their head at Mason’s question. “Hear about what?” I asked. Jason looked down at the floor as Mason’s grin grew bigger. I was a little scared to hear what Mason had to say. There weren't a whole lot of things that the twins ever had different opinions about. “Mrs Reyes, the art teacher, she is leaving town for good!” Mason exclaimed before he started doing his victory dance. People in the hallway stared at Mason as if he was crazy. I passed them a glare and they soon looked away. Mason might look like a monkey when he did his victory dance but as his friend, I don’t want people staring at him or making fun of him. That’s our job. “But why is Jason so gloomy about it? I thought that you both hated her.” Damien asked as he looked at Jason. It was true. The twins hated the ar

 “How did you two get out?” Damien asked me, making my cheeks warm up at the memory. “That is not important. The important thing is that we got out. So, what are they going to do?” I said, changing the topic. I was in the car with Xander, heading home after our escape. Damien had called me to inform me that he wasn’t able to get out. He was just about to get out of the school when Mrs Krampe caught him. Poor fellow…“They were going to take the three of us to the principal’s office but then Mrs Reyes stepped in and said that she doesn’t want that. Apparently, she was a little amused that the twins tried something to make her remember them forever.” Damien told us. “So, it’s just detention?” Xander asked. The phone was on speaker so that Xander could talk too while he drove us home. “Detention for a week for the twins and just today for me since I warned Mrs Reyes about the prank. My only crime according to them is running in the hallways.” Damien answered. “Well, that

 “Oh my god! I am dying! Ellie, save me!” Xander exclaimed as he walked into the kitchen where I was just putting the waffles on the plates. He looked really tired as he held his head in his hands as if it was just about to explode. This is usually what happens every time Xander wakes up after drinking more than he should. “No need to yell, drama queen. The pills are where they are supposed to be. Just take those and I have made waffles for breakfast. Freshen up fast or else I’ll eat them all.” I told him as I took the plates and placed them on the table. Xander took the pills and went to the washroom to freshen up when I heard the doorbell. I ran to the door to find the guys and Kara standing on the other side with huge grins on their faces. I welcomed them all inside. Mason sniffed the air like a dog before his eyes grew wide.“Did you make waffles for breakfast?” Mason yelled in excitement. I chuckled at him before nodding my head. “Ellie, I love you!” Mason said as he w

“Ellie, why don’t you understand? I really like this girl. I’ve had a crush on her since… forever!” Xander said, making the others in the room chuckle. We had decided to meet up at my house after school since my parents were still not home. And right now as we all were arguing about what we should do, Xander asked me to help him win over another girl.“That’s what you said about Leah and the girl before her and the girl before her and…. Well every other girl that you have dated.” Jason snickered. “Well, I really like this one. For real.” Xander argued. “Really, when did you guys meet first?” Liam asked him as he smirked at Xander. “I don’t know that. All I know is that I like her now! Besides, I have gone without a girlfriend for too long now!” Xander grumbled. I chuckled at that, making him turn to me. “Why can’t you help me?” He asked. “Maybe because she is tired of it all?” Damien shrugged as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “Well, when you are tired, you should t

 “So, your parents are finally back home?” Jason asked in a cautious voice.My mood wasn't the best today. My mom and dad came back home yesterday and we only had one peaceful meal before they told me that they were leaving again for work. I didn't know why that bothered me but my parents not being around anymore was starting to make me angry.When I was a kid, my parents did everything in their power to keep their business related trips to a minimum. And even when they had to go, they used to take me with them. But ever since I entered highschool, it felt as if they were trying to stay as far away from me as possible.“Only for a couple of days.” I answered Jason's question. “What? I thought they only came back after weeks of staying away!” Kara gasped. I huffed. “Ellie! Don't feel bad about it. You parents are only going because it must have been necessary.” Damien said. “Oh no! They are going because they can't bear to be around me. They hate me!” I said as I covered
