"James, where the hell do you think you're going?!" My mother asked me before I walked out the door. She often did this if I tried to leave at 7 at night, half-decent looking. Which was hardly ever, anyways.

"I'm going to the café down town." I sounded as sarcastic as possible, but it's not like she knew I was going there. I just like being mean to her.

"Why?"

"I do have a life, so you know." I'm pretty sure I heard her laugh at me as if I was telling a joke, before the sound of me slamming the door drowned out her annoying, high-pitched laughter.

Thankfully, it was cloudy, raining, and the café was not far from here, only two blocks away. Our house was right next to the down town area so my mom could be close to the stores. I wonder what would have happened if it was sunny out? I caved in to say yes so easily I didn't even think about the weather, but I guess I'm just lucky.

In the farthest booth to the right was Alexa, Tim, Derren, Brenna, and the girl with black hair. I still didn't know her name. I quickly walked over there and avoided all the eyes staring at me. Everything from my toes to my head was drenched in water, and I'm pretty sure I was dripping water all over the place.

Brenna instantly made room for me to sit by her, and made the black haired girl scoot all the way over.

"This is Kira." Brenna smiled as she spoke, pointing to the girl that I now knew the name of.

"Hi." I said, shy-like. "I'm James." I gave her a smile.

"Yeah, I know. You're in my first hour class. Everyone at this table is in that class." She was now smiling at me. Every girl at this table was.

"Oh, that's cool. We must have an awesome class?" I said, unsure of what I was really saying. Everyone just stared at me like I was crazy.

"What would you like, sir?" The café waitress asked me, considering everyone else was already drinking a cappuccino. I glanced around over towards the menu, looking at what else there was besides hot chocolate and cappuccinos.

"Uh, Water." Right when I said water, the rest looked at me as if I was crazy.
