Thank you for reviewing people! I hope that you all like this!

It seems that the student population has ADD because nobody even mentioned the Brady thing today.

"It's probably because he skipped and everybody remembered how bad ass he is." Helen reasoned at lunch. I took a bite of my PBAJ sandwich, (which stands for peanut butter and apricot jelly sandwich) and nodded.

"Thank the lord for it to; I don't think I could take anymore of that awkward ordeal." Helen laughed.

"You know using words like that make you so much more lovable and nerdy."

"Ordeal? It's not that big of a word." I cried. She always made fun of me for using big words, but she thought it was adorable not weird. I really should thank the Friendship Gods for her.

"Well if I use small words I'd have to be friends with dumb bimbos oh wait…" I smiled at her. She gasped pretending to be offended.

"You are like sooo mean!" She used her valley girl accent.

"Like I know you are but what am I?" I responded using the same accent. Owen came over and sat by us. And oh my goodness he cut his hair!

"YOU CUT YOUR HAIR!" I screamed as he sat next to me. He gave me a big smile.

"Yup." He popped the P.

"WHY!" I whined. I loved his hair, it made him unique! "I loved your Jew Fro!"

Helen began to laugh.

"It was a Jew Fro wasn't it?" He put on an exaggerated frown.

"You guys are mean!" He said. I patted his shoulder. But then I began to play with his short hair.

"I'm sorry but you look so weird!"

"You're one to talk!" He snapped back playfully. I punched him and the sissy boy flinched back. "Have you been working out, cause you're strong since the last time I annoyed you."

"Impossible you annoyed her yesterday!" Helen said. As the two argued about how he was annoying I snagged his i-pod.

"Hey! What was that for? Gimme it back!" He tried to get it back.

"You cut your hair I take your i-pod. Circle of Life." I said, but I should have known better then to say the name of a Broadway song around Helen.

"The Circle of Life! And it moves us all! Through despair and hope! Through faith and looooove! Till we find our place! On the path unwinding-"

"In the Circle!" I joined in.

"The Circle of LIFE!" We both sang out. Owen just covered his eyes.

"And they call me a freak." We both turned to him. We were freaks but at least had fun!

"Well then leave!" Helen snapped. The bell rang.

"I think I will, but give me my i-pod!" He sad trying to get.

"Oh this i-pod?" I asked waving it in his face, he lunged for it but I had put it in my back pocket.

"MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I said. Then he did what no straight man should ever do to me. He stuck his hand in my BACK POCKET and got his i-pod.

"What the hell Owen!" I don't like swearing but he was but he was so out of line!

"I just wanted my i-pod back!" He said holding up his hands. Helen smacked his shoulder.

"You are such a pig! She was going to give it back!"

"I know I just-" I slapped him.

"Get your head together perv!" I said walking away with Helen. That was too freaky! That was Anakin going to the Dark side freaky!

"That was really really weird." I said shakily. Helen shrugged.

"He's a teenage boy. It was bound to happen sooner or later."

"What was bound to happen?" She gave me a sad smile.

"Well, you two have been friends awhile now, and when you were little there weren't any boundaries but now there are. You guys can't do as much anymore." I blinked. She was totally right. If we had been ten it wouldn't have been that big a deal, but we were sixteen now.

"So we can't be fwiends anymowe?" I whined in my baby voice. Helen burst out laughing.

"I love you Nora!" She gave me a hug. The rest of the day was somewhat normal. Owen avoided me, which was for the best I was still angry. But Collin and Seth I think, they all look the same to me! I know Brady Collin and Paul but I can't tell any of the others apart with out their girlfriends. Anyway they kept giving me weird looks. Not, I'm going to kill you in your sleep or I will rape you looks more, I am ashamed of you young Padawan. Although I don't think that's the thoughts going through their heads though.

After school I got a ride from Helen home. She decided to stay over and hang out.

"Wanna watch America's Next Top Model?" She asked.

"No!" Luke said as he came in.

"I don't have an issue with it." Kurt said plopping down next to me. I messed with his hair.

"Nobody asked you Luke." I snapped. He's in his 'I'm a man!' mood.

"I don't care!" He said crossing his arms. Helen made an 'aw' face.

"Don't be like that Lukey! We can watch Say Yes to the Dress instead!" I laughed and Luke blushed. What did he like Helen or something?

"I hate that show!" I whined. Kurt had taken the remote and changed it to Pokemon. We all groaned.

"This version sucks! Everybody knows after Misty leaves the whole show goes down hill." I said covering my eyes.

"Pikachu has really let himself go." Helen shook her head. We all laughed. So we decided to watch Charmed instead. Luke still didn't want to watch a 'girl' show.

"Yeah whatever." Luke said not laughing. God he was such a little teenager! It's so annoying! My mom came downstairs with her PJs still on. I don't think she's worn an actual outfit since Q was born!

"Hi Helen,"

"Hey Mrs. Elliot."

"Have you guys seen Q?" She asked, like the good concerned parent she was. I shook my head.

"He's freeing some toads from the window wells." Kurt told her. Aw that was nice of him. I don't like to play favorites but I would defiantly save Q from a fire over the others right now. Plus that was normally my job considering the window wells were in the basement AKA my bedroom so I fished them out so I didn't have to hear them pounding against the glass all night.

"Nor, can you get some Slim Jims for your dad? He's had a rough day."

"You can use my car." Helen said holding up her keys. She's pretty much welcome to come over at anytime, even if I'm not there. I grabbed them and drove up to the convenience store down the block. And who comes out but Skippy McSkipSkip, Brady Locklear. Ok I was just going to walk right by him. Ignore him, ignore him, ignore-Oh my gosh is he smoking?

"Uh N-Nora what's up?" He said surprised. I totally was not going to be distracted by the fact he was shirtless! He's smoking! Focus on the cigarette!

"Don't you know that you can get cancer from those death sticks?" I asked appalled. The fact that he probably wanted to punch me for saying that didn't cross my mind! Thank you Jesus for making me a girl.

"I'll quit if it makes you happy." He said softly. Boy that's giving me secondhand smoke say WHAT? Why does he keep telling me he cares or wants me happy? If this is the Twilight Zone darn you Alfred Hitchcock! Darn you! Well I wasn't going to play along with his weird flirty game!

"I'm not telling you to quit, I was just making sure you knew it could kill you." I felt my cheeks turn pink, because I didn't want him to die! He was a jerk, and was probably making fun of me because it was Flirt With A Geek but I didn't want him dead! What was wrong with me? I began to play with my ponytail.

"Well would it make you happy if I did?" He asked. I don't know!

"I don't know!" I ran into the store and grabbed some stupid Slim Jims and slammed them on the counter.

"Whoa, calm down!" Some girl behind the cash register said. I took some deep breaths. Being around him was just so unsettling. It was so freaky. I had never actually talked to the guy before yesterday. I mean he threw grapes at me all threw middle school. He boo-ed at the talent show when I sang the Elements Song. God that was a terrible experience, why did Helen make me do that? Anyway now he wants to talk to me and make me happy? What on earth is going on!

"Sorry, that's all." I said handing her some money. I went back into Helens car and took some deep breaths. I needed to get a handle on things. I started the car and drove home.

"Hey Helen, I'm not feeling so hot maybe you should go home." I said yawning. Helen got up.

"Ok, feel better, see you tomorrow?" She said hesitantly looking at me to see if I looked sick. She gave me a hug then walked out the door. I gave Dad his Slim Jims.

"Here's your stuff Dad."

"Are you ok?"

"Just a little tired, I'm going to bed." But unfortunately I couldn't get to sleep because of the darn wolves!

I woke up late and had to skip breakfast so I didn't have to keep Helen waiting. I was so out of it I put on a pair of shorts-in November and a wrinkled orange shirt. I went into the her car my stomach rumbling and my legs freezing.

"Whoa, I'm not even crazy enough to wear shorts!" She had her hair in a bun and feathers for earrings. She was the definition of fashion risk! But she always looked good, I kind of hated her.

"Shut up." I brought my knees to my chest and closed my eyes. I began to sleep but then Red Neck Woman began to play.

"I'm a red neck woman I ain't no high class broad!" Helen sang with a southern drawl. I groaned.

"Can we not do this today?" I asked. She turned it down.

"Stop singing along or playing music?"

"Singing! I'm so tired I can't take anymore!" I closed my eyes and slowly went to sleep again. Helen changed the song to Bad Romance. Darn it I love singing along to this. But I was so so tired. The music slowly drifted away, a sweet sleepy time! Unfortunately Helen started to poke me.

" Wakey wakey!" She said. I opened an eye and saw we had parked. I moaned and got out of the car. I stumbled to my locker, I must have looked drunk! Me drunk! Ha! That's an oxymoron. I walked to me locker and began to stuff my backpack in. For some reason the high school decided to make lockers skinnier then an anorexic model!

"Come on you stupid book!" I said as I tried to pry my English book out of the evil lockers clutches

"Here you go!" A large hand appeared above my head and pulled it out with ease. I spun around and was face to face with Brady's chest. By the way he was wearing a shirt this time. He handed me my book.

"Thanks um what are you doing here?" How'd he even know this was my locker? Well he could have just been passing by.

"I wanted to see you." He said shrugging. He had to be joking. I looked up at him, and he must be a really good actor because his eyes were telling the truth.

"No seriously." I said

"Seriously, I wanted to see. I like seeing you. In fact I'd like to see more of you." He said glancing down at me. Oh my goodness! That's was this is about? Well he's not getting away with this the pervert!

"What?" I screamed. He really was that disgusting he was trying to get into a nerds' pants? God this was NOT my week.

"Oh God that's not what I meant I swear-"

"Sure it wasn't! Just-just stop whatever you're doing. Do your friends have a bet or something? Who can bang the most geeks?"

"NO! No we'd never do that-please I didn't mean-please-" He pleaded with me. But I had begun to walk away. Pretty darn fast if I must say so myself. I heard the crashing of metal I turned and saw a locker smashed in and Brady standing over it with his fists clenched.

Great. I had to be mean to that guy!

Merci Gracias Danke Thanks! I love all reviews, even flames! Finally a long chapter from Nora's POV let's see what happens next time when Brady tries to redeem himself!
