Chapter 2

As they got into the classroom, Elena noticed that there was an empty seat next to her and on the other side Aria was reading her book. Then in the back corner of the classroom were a bunch of popular people including Matt and Miranda in the center of their cling.

"Let's start shall we," The teacher said while writing his name on the blackboard. Meanwhile, when this was happening Aria's head shot straight up from her book and her face turned bright red. By this time the teacher had just turned around and said "My name is Mr. Fitzzz—oh crap," he whispered once he got a glimpse of Aria. Everyone bursted out laughing. Elena knew something was going on between the teacher and Aria but what was it? She passed a note to her that said "Meet me in the hallway in 5 minutes." She asked Mr. Fitz if she could go to the bathroom, he let her.

The hallway was crowded with sophomores. She saw her brother going into the boy's bathroom, something was up. She barged in there and she asked him what was going on. "Hey, what's up with you?" Elena declared. By the look in his eyes she saw that he was completely stoned. "Really Jeremy?" she said pushing him into the stall. "Look I gave you a summer pass but I am done watching you destroy yourself," she whispered strongly.

"I know you're just trying to look after me but you're not mom," he cried while walking out of the bathroom. When he did Elena realized why she was in the hall in the first place. "Aria," she whispered to herself.

She raced out of the bathroom; she got out and looked back the next thing she knew she was in someone's arms.
