Chapter 1

I sat, fiddling with my pen, paying no attention to what our teacher Mr Folk was telling us. I was staring into space. I could swear someone was staring at me! I turned to my left to see Deuce burning holes in me with his eyes. He saw I was looking at him and he blushed, looking away. Why was he staring at me? He was staring at me the same way James used to, which means ... Ew! Deuce has a crush on me! Well, he is kind of cute and he-

Cece! Stop it! Deuce has a girlfriend you nimrod!

Me? I'm a nimrod? How about you! Your just a dumb voice in my head that I ignore to full extent!

Listen to me for once in your life. Don't get all googly eyed with him, he's with Dina, one of your BEST FRIENDS!

Yeah, I know but-

" Miss Jones, would you care to remind the class what the essay is going to be about? " Mr Folk asked glaring at me.

" Sorry Mr Folk, " I muttered.

" Rocky, can you tell me? "

Rocky answered instantly, " The essay is about your best friend and why you are best friends. You must explain his or her behaviour, personality etcetera. "

" Thank you Miss Blue, " Mr Folk smiled. " You all have fifteen minutes, then you will present your essays for the class. Begin. "

That's easy, Rocky is my best friend of course. Hmmm..

We are friends because we are honest with each other and push each other to do their best. No, that's not right. She is very secretive lately, I have no idea why.

Well, Rocky is bubbly, an amazing dancer, honest, happy and sure of herself.

Wait, no. Rocky used to be! About a year ago, Rocky just seemed to, change. She was always self-conscious now, she was quiet, secretive...

By the end of the fifteen minutes, I was not happy with my essay, but I was done. Mr Folk called me first.

As I walked to the front of the classroom, all eyes were on me. Rocky, awaiting all the brilliant things I was going to say about her. Deuce, looking at me as if, well I've already explained it. I brought my book close enough to my eyes so I could read it.

" My friend is Rocky Blue... "

The bell rang, saving me from having to embarrass Rocky. We had to hand in our essays instead.

After lunch, Rocky was called to Mr Folk's office. I didn't know why and it worried me. Was it about what I said in my essay?

I waited quietly outside the office for her. As I was waiting, fiddling my fingers, Mr and Mrs Blue and Ty walked into the office.

When they walked out almost half an hour later, Rocky's parents had solemn looks on their faces, followed by Ty who looked angrier than I've every seen him.

Ty turned to me, then said, " Wait for Rocky, she may be awhile. "

With that he walked off.

I waited another twenty minutes before I saw the door move slightly. Out emerged Rocky, sobbing uncontrollably and running into my arms.

" What happened? " I asked concerned.

" M-m-mister-er F-f-folk-k r-r-ea-e-e-d your e-e-ssay-y a-a-nd, " Rocky stuttered.

" Breathe in and out, " I instructed. " I can't understand you. "

" Mr Folk read your essay and it turns out he studied child psycology, " she stammered. " I don't want to talk about it, but can I stay at your place tonight? "

" Sure, " I replied. " We'll just go get your stuff after school. "

" No! " Rocky exclaimed. " I mean, I can just borrow pyjama's. "

" Rocky, when will you ever fit in my pj's? " I laughed, but it didn't cheer her up. " We're going to pick up the stuff at your house and that's final! End of discussion. "

At the end of the day I ended up having to drag Rocky up to her apartment. Why she didn't want to go I didn't know.

When we got to her door, I waited for her to unlock the door or walk in, I mean it was her house. But no, the girl knocked hesitantly on the door.

The door was opened by Ty, who frowned angrily at Rocky.

He let us in, backing away from the door.

" Hi Cece, " he said. " Please excuse us, Rocky, come with me. "

Rocky's face sank and she reluctantly followed.

I sat on their coach and waited for her. When she came out only seconds later, she was wearing a different outfit and had an overnight bag with her. She was grinning widely and with excited and eager eyes.

" Sleepover! " Rocky squealed.

" Yeah, how did you change so fast? " I asked her suspiciously.

" Fast dresser, " she shrugged.

Suddenly, there was a squeal from Ty's room that sounded like Rocky, but Rocky was in front of me. Oh my word, brain fuzzed up.
