Hey you guys! This is the latest I have ever uploaded and I am REALLY sorry:-( Also I am really sorry I uploaded the last chapter twice... The eighth chapter seemed not to appear:/ Anyways thank you to all those followers and reviewers! Keep on reviewing and reading! So also I was thinking of making a Halloween special either in this one or the next. Please let me know if you like that idea!
Here is a response:
The Knife Throwing Expert,

DISCLAIMER: OK people. Do you think it has changed? JK! But it hasn't changed:)
Mags' POV.
Chapter 9
Jake catches up with us, and says hi. He sees our hands still linked and says,
"Oh... so it finally happened?"
"Um, Jake? I need to talk to you... after school." I tell him.
He stares up at me and he looks somewhat hopeful. "Um... OK?" He answers grinning over to where Sasha and Ross stand staring. Sasha whispers something to Ross and he shrugs his shoulders. Then he starts walking over to where we are standing.
"Sup?" He asks.
The guys look dumbfounded, and I just realized Cameron has joined our group. I decide to be nice and say, "Sup to you?"
"I was just wondering when tryouts for sports are?"
"Oh you're in luck. They start today! Maye you can make the all star team!"
You are probably wondering why the all star tryouts are today. Well they can't do all of them in one day!
The bell rings, and Ross fist bumps all of us and leaves. He seems pretty decent if you ask me. I turn around to find the guys, some smirking some still looking dumbfounded.
"What?"
"You're never nice. Never." Say Josh and Jake at the same time.
"Shut up!" I yell punching them as I run into my classroom.
The teachers are normally nice, but only one isn't eccentric. She is my favorite teacher in the entire world. Mrs. Terri.
She teaches literature. I have always HATED literature, But somehow, Mrs. Terri manages to make it really fun.
I spot Ross and Sasha and wave. Not specifically to Sasha but I don't want to leave her out. Mrs. Terri waves. She doesn't have favorites, but I have known her all my life. I actually did ballet with her when I was little. Yes I was actually a little girl once. She treats me like the daughter she never had, because she has two boys.
Jonah is a year younger than me and Micah is a year older. Oh well. I still see them pretty often around town. I even play soccer with them sometimes.
Mrs. Terri gives me back my test. I read it. A! Yes! Finally I get that sports bag I wanted! Henry, another of my friends nudges me.
"What did you get?"
"A. You?"
"A-."
We are so wrapped up in our conversation we don't even notice when Mrs. Terri says that we have to pair up. Dang! Now it looks like I want to be with Henry. I don't mind, but what about Josh? Oh well. Looks like he's with Jake.
"Mags? You and Henry are together. Good pair up! Two of my best students! Josh and Jake. Great job on the last test. I would like to see the same grade on this project. Sasha and Ross? I don't know about your potentials, but you do look smart in those outfits!"
She goes on, but that is just an example of how nice she is.
"Um.. Mrs. Terri? What exactly are we doing?"
Everyone in the class laughs. The guys say, "Nice going Mags."
"Oh sweetie pie, we're doing a book project! I have a list of books in your desk, so choose your book. You have three weeks." She says now speaking to the whole class now, "You can choose to do any thing. Dress up as the character. Bring the foods that they eat. Just be creative! Now, time for a pop quiz!"
Everyone groans but me. I Caught Mrs. Terri's wink that I knew meant, It is really easy. Ah, Mrs. Terri and I, what a pair we are.
Austin's POV
I can't say that I don't feel really bad about how I just deflated Jake's life, but as I walk home I remember what we are doing today. I sprint home, my bronze hair getting in the way of my vision. It really is chilly this autumn day.
I sprint right into Mags' house and stop straight in front of the door so I won't trip on that string Mags told me that Chris put out. Mom is in the living room and I can hear Dylan, Devin, dad, and Mags' dad yelling the same stuff as yesterday for their soap opera. Damn soap operas.
Mom is talking to Mags' mom, so I just stand awkwardly in the hallway for a bit.
"Austin? Did you need something honey?" Asks Mrs. Baker.
"Yeah I needed to talk to mom but I can wait."
"No, no honey that's OK. I was just going to go make tea. I will be right back Juliana."
Tea. What is up with the tea all the time?
"Hey mom."
"Hey sweetie. Dad went home this morning. Everything is in the back of the car."
"OK."
"You OK honey?"
"Yeah. Peachy."
"OK. As long as you're sure."
"Mom! I'm being-"
"I know you're being sarcastic. Get ready for tomorrow. That is all I have to say." She finishes smiles rubs my head and leaves the room.
Great advice mom! Get ready for tomorrow. I will remember that to tell her another time. I'm sure she would say the same thing if I was being chosen for The Hunger Games. But yes. I guess, in this case, get ready for tomorrow is the only thing you can say.
A/N:
Hey! Were back, and I really hope you enjoyed the chapter. I should have the next one up later in October:) Remember to leave a review! Also any ideas if I do the Halloween thing? I don't want to offend anyone, so just tell me if you are not OK with it! May the odds be ever in your favor!
