Racheal P.O.V

I entered the door, a couple of girls and one boy were in there they all looked up due to Lachlan and I arrival.

Hey girls. I said waving to my new friends.

Hey Racheal, who is him? asked Maddie, pointing to Lachlan who was standing behind me.

Girls and Matt this is Lachlan, a really good friend of mines. I said, smiling a bit. After some introducing Lachlan asked.

So about the school concert... he started.

Yeah, we also need a name for our band, said Morgan, we were all quiet thinking of a name, then it hit me, it was only a girl band, and after the fight it felt like I had so much power. I knew the name.

I think I know the name for our band, I started smiling.

Cool what is it? asked Sanai.

Girl power. I said smiling.

That is an amazing name Racheal! that will totally work! said Andrea.

Hey Rach. said Matthew. I turned my head.

Think fast! he said instantly throwing a ball at my face, I raised my hands up catching the softball.

Dang it i'll get you next time, he said.

Nice try Matt. said Andrea as I threw the ball back to Matt.

But really, we need a song to sing for the solo performance, no one had signed up yet, and no one wants to, the song has to be short, sweet and small. said Maddie

What about you Rach? asked Lachlan.

Wait, me no way. I said.

C'mon I heard you sing and play guitar at once, you can totally do it, he said.

Fine, i'll do it, I'll perform. I said. the girls let out and unexpected cheer.

Cool, what song are you going to perform? asked Andrea.

... run wild. I said. The song goes like this, it's really short:

There's a light at the end of the darkness, the last steps are always the hardest, but we push up and we try again to the world that's caving in. It's not pride that makes you the strongest.

Run wild run free, the sky's beneath our feet, run wild run free, run high like we were meant to be.

Your future awaits like a tiger, an amber that grows to fire, and we're climbing to the greatest heights no one can stop us now, you try to bring us down but we just glow brighter.

Run wild run free, the sky's beneath our feet, run wild run free, run high like we were meant to be.

That song is perfect! said Morgan.

Now we just need a song for the girl power performance. said Maddie.

They said it had to be about bullying. said Andrea. I staid quiet from that thought. Oh yeah, sorry Racheal, nearly forgot. said Andrea again.

It's fine, I replied.

Hey, I know a song we can sing, said Maddie.

Really, what's it's called? asked Sanai.

Freaks Like Me! said Maddie.

That song literally describes us! Morgan said, Well just me I guess.

What no way, I am a total Nerd when it comes to Video Games! I replied. I looked back to check on Lachlan,

I guess I should get going before the others find out, he said.

Yeah, you should I said.

What? asked Morgan.

Can I explain it to them? I asked. Lachlan Nodded,

Cya next period Rach. he waved I smiled then he headed back to the Lab. I started to explain the girls and Matt about Lachlan and I friendship.

Since then, after the fight, Lachlan had been my friend. I can trust him, and he was the only friend I had before I met you. His other friends the Pack one of them likes to call it, doesn't know about our friendship, Lachlan told me that they would tease him about it, and with me hanging around him, things would get awkward fast. We've been hiding it since the fight, but the thing is I don't know how long I can keep this secret, not to mention constantly avoiding Essa and Ryan. I said, Everyone nodded.

I know what you mean, said Andrea. Possibly because most of my friends are boys, ya'll are the only girlfriends I have.

Really, just when I thought I was the only one. I said. We then went down to business, Matt helped us search up the song, We sang parts of the song, Andrea and I have the rap part. We each had our own section. then in the chorus we sang it all together, letting Maddie sing the background. We talked and laughed, but there was still something on my mind I had to talk about with Lachlan.

Ryan P.O.V

Ever since the fight, I hadn't felt the same, the group was kind of quiet without Racheal, who has moved on know, it feels like, she had vanished, moved on with her life, made new friends, I saw her hang around with a boy in the hallways. Before we had always talked to each other, now, she can barely make eye contact with me. All because of a stupid mistake I made.

I was hanging out with Essa, Eddie, Skylar, and Parker, some friends I had, before Racheal was also included in our group no things are different.

I just want to go up to her and apologize for everything, but know it's to late. But I think I have a solution, just gotta find the boy she hangs around with

Lachlan P.O.V

I was back in the Lab, well outside of it anyways, I was standing in the hallway listening to the Pack's conversation.

He is defiantly hiding something we don't want to know about, said Preston.

Yeah, now every free period he goes off somewhere. said Vikk.

I bet he is hanging out with the girl. said Rob.

Yeah, he has been around her a lot lately, ever since the fight. said Mitch, would they stop bringing up the darn fight!

Maybe if we talk to him again... said Jerome.

Too late now, we just gotta figure this one out ourselves. said Preston, they kept on talking, I was buried in my thoughts, mostly about Racheal.

She had been a better person now since I met her, is it because of me or her? then a boy with blond hair walked up to me, he had freckles, pale skin, a red shirt with black sweat pants, along with tennis shoes. I recognized him from the fight, he might just be here for Racheal.

What do you want? I asked nicely, looking up.

I need to talk to- he said. I knew what he was going to say Racheal.

Even after what you said to her no way!

Why not?

Because she's my friend and I don't want her to get upset, besides she isn't even here.

Then I want to talk to you.

Huh? why me.

She told you about our long lasting friendship, did she?

Yeah, so?

I just want her to be my friend again, yes I said stupid things to her, I didn't know it will hurt her that bad-

But it did I said cutting him short. then she met me. I replied.

Yeah, I just want her back, as a friend. before we used to joke around, now she can barely make eye contact with me.

here are reasons for her doing that, I'll try to talk to her, but how much do you really know her?

We've been friends since kindergarten!

Okay then, you only have one chance, mess up, well she's my friend, so get ready.

Thanks.

No problem.

Now I should get going before Essa finds out I'm here. then he left. I gotta talk to Racheal, I have a lot more on my mind then just my talk with Ryan.
