Kendall

"I can't wait until tonight!" I said while getting my binder out of my locker.

"It's going to be so much fun!" My best friend, Ashlyn said.

"Will Wesley be there?" My other best friend, Ryley said.

"Duh. He goes wherever I go." I scoffed. "He is my boyfriend."

Ryley and Ashlyn shrugged and started off in the direction of their next class. I picked up my books that I sat on the ground and looked around for Wesley. "Hey babe." Wesley said while helping me get my books.

"Hey." I said back while brushing off the side of my skirt.

I grabbed his hand and we headed off to class. "You ready for tonight?" Wesley whispered in my ear.

"Definitely."

We got in the classroom and took our normal seats in the back of the room. I sat down and Wesley sat right next to me. I could smell his cologne in the air around him. "Hey, isn't that that Mason kid?" Wesley asked me, pointing in that direction.

"What? I thought he was homeschooled now?" I asked, looking in the direction that he was pointing. "Ha. I guess not."

Mason made his way into the classroom and sat on the other side of the room in the front. Mason had black swooshy hair and a black beanie on his head. After everyone was quiet, our teacher started to write God knows what on the board. "How long does this class last?" Wesley asked with a smile on his face.

"You ask that everyday." I said, retuning his smile.

"Ok, Miss. Hale. Would you like to answer the question?" The teachers asked, directing the question towards me.

"Uh, what?" I said, confused.

"I think it might be smart to actually listen to what I say." He said while turning back around to the board. I flicked him off and the whole class laughed. He turned back around and looked straight at me. "Detention, Miss. Hale."

"Why? For what?" I said, trying to act innocent.

"You know the saying, 'I've got eyes in the back of my head'? Well it's true. Detention, today."

I looked at him like he was speaking a different language and looked at Wesley. "I'll stay with you." Wesley said.

"That's why I love you." I said while trying to kiss him without anyone looking.

Tessa

It was another day of school. I hate school. I hate life. I slowly walked through the hall watching everyone passing me. Everyone is better than me. I will never be good enough. According to our modern society.

I finally get to my class and take my seat at the back of the class. I looked to my left and there is my sister sitting in the chair next to me. "This is stupid." I say to her.

"Trust me. It doesn't get better." She said while pulling out a cigarette.

"Thanks for the words of wisdom, sis." I said, pulling out my social studies binder.

"Anytime." She said with the cigarette in her mouth.

When I turned back to make a smart comment, she was gone. That always happens.

A few minutes later, the door shut and class began. I didn't even listen; I just daydreamed. I thought of all the things that happened the summer before school, and barely anything came to mind.

Finally, the class was over and we were able to leave. I got my books together and made my way towards the door. "Hey Tessa. Can I talk to you?" The teacher said.

I looked at him, and made my way towards his desk. "I know it's hard to focus because of the death of your sister, but your failing. If you fail this class, you can't graduate." He said with pity on his face.

I shrugged and told him I would do better, and he was wrong. My sister couldn't be dead. I talked to her everyday.

I made my way to my locker and opened it. I took out my binder for my next class and turned around.

The next thing I knew, my stuff was on the ground. "Watch where you go." Kendall, the most popular girl in the school said. She looked at me like I was an alien and started walking again with her 'clique' group.

I picked up my stuff and closed my locker. I looked in her direction and watched them walk off. I wondered if that skirt was actually just a small piece of cloth. "Don't let them get to you." Justine said, appearing next to me. (My sister)

"Did this happen to you?" I asked, walking towards the next hallway.

"All the time." Justine said, walking the same speed as me. "Except I was the one who had the 'piece of cloth' on my butt."

I tried to reply, but she disappeared before I could respond. "Again. Really?" I said, smiling at the ground.

Mason

"School sucks." I whispered to myself, while opening my locker.

"Yeah, I know." Said the girl that had to locker next to mine.

I looked at her and then focused back on getting stuff out of my locker. She gave me a strange look. "Aren't you Ma-"

Before she could finish, I started off towards the main door. Once I stepped outside, I felt the rush of wind hit my face. I didn't think it would be this cold. I stopped to put on my jacket and looked around at the other kids. Most of them were involved with their own conversations, but there were some just staring at me.

I grabbed my bag and started to walk. It usually takes 15 minutes before I got to my house, but I didn't really feel like going home. I sat down on the grass and opened my bag. I started to draw when a girl walked pass me. My foot was out and I accidentally tripped her.

I instantly stood up and caught her before she fell. It took me a minute to realize who it was. "Hey your in my 6th period." I tried to manage a smile. "Tessa right?"

She looked at me for a minute, still in my arms, and instantly stood up. "Uh yeah. I'm Tessa. Look I-uh I have to go."

I watched her fast-walk in the other direction. I stood there watching until she was out of site. The only thing I could think of was, "She didn't know me."

Wesley

I got out of the car and went up to Kendall's door. I could hear the humming of my car behind me, when I realized Kendall was hugging me. "Uh- Hey babe." I said, caught off guard.

"I can't believe you're actually on time." She said, with that wicked half-smile.

"I wanted to surprise you." I said, while kissing her on the cheek.

"Fun comes later. Let me go get my coat." She raced off into her house and came back with her black fur coat and grabbed my hand.

I opened the passenger door for her, and closed it behind her. I jumped into the car and said, "You ready?"

"As I'll ever be." She said, giving me that smile again.

We spent most of the time in the car listening to music and talking about the party. "Ashlyn lives right over there!" Kendall said, while pointing in the direction.

"Anywhere I should park?" I asked.

"Close to the front. I don't feel like walking." She said, while taking her seat belt off.

"Hey guys!" Ashlyn said, standing at the door.

"Hey girl!" Kendall said.

I grabbed Kendall's hand and went inside. There weren't many people at the party, but we did get here early. "Any beer?" Kendall asked.

"Um. I'll have to see. I think Josh is bringing it." She said, opening the fridge.

"Woah, Josh is coming? Who invited him?" Kendall said with disgust on her face.

"I did." Ashlyn turned around. "And were practically dating."

"I never thought you would go that low." She whispered.

"Enough." I said in Kendall's hear. "Remember. We're here to have fun. Not to start a cat fight."

She looked at me and for a second I thought she was about to scream, but then it went away and she just smiled. "Your right. We did come here to have fun!" She said, pulling me through the kitchen.

The party flew my fast. I spent most of my night leaning against the kitchen door and watching everyone come in. Kendall used up her time to get as drunk as she possibly could. I didn't stop her though, because I knew she wouldn't stop just because of me. It took me a few seconds, but then I realized someone tapping my shoulder. "Your Wesley right? Kendall's boyfriend?"

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

"You might want to see this."

She held up her phone and it took me a second to actually see what it was. First, I saw Bryan, someone on my football team, and then I saw Kendall. They were kissing. "Where-Where did you get this?" I staggered, setting my drink down.

"Someone sent it to me and I thought, as her boyfriend, you should know." The girl gave me a pitiful look and I shoved past her.

It didn't take me long to find Kendall. And Bryan.

Kendall was all over Bryan and they were sitting on the couch. I made a noise that I knew everyone could hear. Kendall still didn't hear me. I made the noise a little louder, but still no reaction. I finally tapped Bryan on the shoulder, and the second he turned around; I punched him square in the face. "Wha-what was that for?" Kendall asked, looking at the unconscious Bryan on the floor.

I looked at Kendall and almost said something, but instead I walked out of the room and out the front door. I could hear Kendall behind me, but I didn't care. I was done with her.

I got into my car and started the engine. It took me a minute before I even put it into drive. I rubbed my temples and tried to think it through. 'Was she that drunk? Did she know what she was doing?' All of these questions were running through my head. I heard a noise and it ended up being my phone. I grabbed it and opened the text message.

There was the picture. Again.
