Ch. 4
The next day
I tug open the school door as the bell rings and sigh. The secretary looks at me sternly, over her glasses. She npurses her lips together, then says "Get to class Miss Hewes." I nod and walk towards the hallway. I pull down my huge gray Eastbay sweater over my black pants. I walk in my first hour class; study hall, but something in me is tugging the other way. I ignore it and sit down in the back of the classroom. I put my head down, getting my rest that's way overdue from last night. Something hits me in the head. I look up to see Chelsea, standing there with her hands on her hips. "That's my seat Toni." She says, snarky. "We'll it's mine today." I say, my voice a octave deeper than usual. She raises her eyebrows. "I. Am. Not. Getting. Up." I grind out. She looks at me strangely and I cock my head, eyebrows raised. "Fine you little bitch!" She screams. I laugh out loud. She backs away, glaring. "Miss Hewes." The teacher looks at me from his desk and I roll my eyes and flip him off, muttering, "Go fuck yourself" The class starts laughing and the teacher turns beet red, "DETENTION, MISS HEWES!"

Brady's POV (after school)
I wait outside, leaning against the old Rabbit, with the rest of the pack. "DUUUDE!" Andrew starts, "WE'VE BEEN WAITIN FOREVER!" "Dude, just wait, I wanna see this girl." Jacob says from inside the rabbit. "She's in detention." I say. Collin laughs "What'd she do?" "Flipped a teacher off and told him 'go fuck yourself'" they all burst into laughter. I smile. "Wait, her little brother." I say. "What about em?" Seth says lazily. "He's at that daycare, right?" "HOW WOULD WE KNOW?!" Ontario yells. "Jake can you take me there?" "You're pushing it dude." "Please? I'll do anything! I don't want him to just sit there cuz then she'll like freak out." Seth raises his eyebrows at me, "Do you not remember how she reacted last night?" "I don't care." I say, lying. I did care. A lot. She doesn't trust me. 'She doesn't know you, idiot' "Can you just take me?!" I scream. "Don't you have any classes with her?" Jacob asks. "Yeah but she won't pay any attention to me." I whine. "So why do you wanna see her again?" Collin asks. I glare at him. "Ohhhhhh! RIGHT!" Jacob sighs, "Just get in the car, this better be worth it. I could be with Nessie." We hop in the car and speed off.

I trace the boys' scent back to his room and look around for him. "Uriah?" I say. All of the babies look at me. The woman in the back, changing someone's diaper, says, without turning around, "Who are you here for?" "Uriah?" I repeat. She turns around and looks me up and down. The baby on the table sits up and I see its Uriah. "DADDY!" He screams. I wave. "This is your child?" "No, no I'm a friend of Toni's here to pick him up." She looks at me sternly over her glasses, "be good to that girl, she's already going through enough." "Wha-what are you talking about?!" I sputter. "Pay more attention, look closer, I'm sure you'll be able to tell by the way she acts towards you." She hands Uriah to me over the counter and he wraps his arms around my neck.

Toni's POV
Ever sworn to yourself you don't like someone, or for that matter you don't even care if they're alive, because you have your own problems, but think about nothing else? "Toni?" Nate waves his hand in my face and I blink. I turn towards my first best friend, my past partner in crime. Until my dad went wacko... "Yeah, what's up?" "Detentions over." I smirk, "Why were you in here again?" He laughs, "For skipping yesterday." A moment of awkward silence occurs when he picks up my books for me and we walk towards the door. He had started to like me in a more romantic way and he wasn't hiding it. You could tell just through the little things, you know? But I'm not ready for a relationship... Especially if I think of you as a brother.

I open the door and scowl. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" I yell at Brady, who's sitting outside the classroom, with my brother on his lap. "Well I just thought-" "NO I DON'T KNOW YOU!" I scream, snatching Uriah from him. "Toni, calm down, calm down." Nate places his hands on my shoulders, but looks over my head, glaring at Brady. I turn back towards him, "I don't know what you think is going on, but stay. Away. From. Him. Better yet, stay away from me!" I scream. I storm outside, Nate behind me, Uriah screaming and crying. I pass a car and see Seth in it and say, "Hey you, come here." He doesn't move. I scowl. "Fine, fine." He scrambles out of the car. "I'm taking you to your moms diner, so you can give him to her." I say, gesturing to Uriah. "Uh ok, are your sure you don't wanna have Brady do it?" I scowl, "Positive."

I pull up to Sue's diner and instruct Seth to take Uriah and his bag to my- I mean his mother. "Okay then... Uh see you later?" "No, I don't think so." I mutter
