Luckily, by the time I left the room the be rang for next period. I should not have brought any of them to school. They always find a way to mess things up for me. First, Thomas somehow switched my cereal with some macaroni flavored one. Second, PETA was after Mulligan after he went inside the Mayor's horse stable. Third, Alex….was Alex.
I sighed as I walked into my next class unmolested. The guys were probably distracting the Trio, at least they can do one thing right. Annoy the hell out of people. Surprisingly, the rest of the day was uneventful, except for the parts where Emma's hanger ons decided to do a bit of 'work' in her place. The result, another backpack ruined.
Soon, the day was over and I was making my way out of the school, when I saw Burr leave Blackwell's office. Shit, I guess even the most sane of my projections was insane as well. I quickened my pace to avoid him, when Blackwell walked out of the officer herself.
"Thank you for understanding the situation Principal Blackwell." I heard Burr say. Damn, did he have to save those jerks ass?
Blackwell nodded and she turned to look at me. "Hello Miss Hebert." She had a small smile on her face. Wait...don't tell me he banged her to save them. THAT'S DISGUSTING. I needed to bleach my brain later.
"You'll be happy to know that you have been transferred to Arcadia. Effective immediately." Wait, what. I really need to stop saying wait. It's getting on my nerves.
Seeing my confusion, Burr flashed a charming smile.
"I simply explained that your transfer to Arcadia would be the best for everyone. Your fine Principal managed to get you to the top of the waiting list." Burr explained as my eye twitched. That was….the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time. Jefferson's macaroni friendship bracelets didn't count.
I forced a smile and nodded. I wasn't about to start crying in a school where everyone hated me. Burr said his farewells to Blackwell and we left.
"Presumptuous prick." Burr muttered as soon as we left the school. Then, I felt tears form in my eyes and I hugged him tight. He froze for a second before hugging me back in earnest.
"Thank you." I whispered softly as Burr held me. Then, I heard a loud thump behind me. Turning around, I saw the rest of the guys in a pile. Those useless security guards finally did their job and kicked them out. They all had bruises of some sports visible on their bodies and were groaning with pain. Smiling softly, I walked up to them and helped all of them up. Jefferson's afro was still fluffy as usual.
"GROUP HUG!" Mulligan screamed as everyone crowded around me happily. I felt everyone hug me as one.
It was nice...to have friends like these.
Wiping the tears off my face, I let a toothy grin show on my face,
"Let's head home guys."
