Chapter 7

Billy walked into Angle Grove High looking pissed off with the world. He was wearing the same cloths he had been yesterday and he looked as if he had not slept. Billy could only think of Michelle and his part in this twisted story of a pretended abandon.

"Hey Billy." Trini said walking up to him with Zack and Jason.

"Hi" Billy muttered angrily.

"Bro is something wrong" Zack asked him.

"No"

"Billy did something happen last night." Jason asked him.

"If something did it's none of your concern."

"Billy what happened." Jason inquired.

"Hey guys" Kimberly asked walking over.

"Hey Kimberly." Trini said.

"What's going on?" Kimberly asked.

"Billy won't tell us" Zack told her.

"Billy what happened." Jason asked again.

"Something happened to Michelle." Billy whispered.

"Who?" Kimberly asked.

"Yah who?" Zack asked "There is no Michelle at this school."

"Not we no of." Trini added.

"Was she the girl I meet yesterday?" Jason asked after a couple of seconds.

"Yah"

"What happened to her?"

"Well she was living in a mobile home in till they found a house from what she told me." Billy said sitting down on the steps the other sat down next to him"Well she went back to where they had parked to find that they had left. She walked around a little bit to see if she went to the wrong place but she could not find them. So she came back to my place. They left her with nothing. My dad is letting her move in with us."

"Wow poor girl." Zack said.

"Yah so my Dad called the school to get her enrolled and she will becoming to take a test to find out what grade she will be in." Billy told them "Kimberly Trini can you help me, I am taking her to the mall to get her some cloths and things and it might be a lot more easier for me to have some help."

"Shore" Kimberly told him.

"I have no problem with that." Trini a shored him.

"Thank just no going crazy with cloths with her she is still a little upset and we don't need you Kimberly scaring her with one of your major shopping sprees."

"I will be good."

"Billy" Ms. Appleby said from behind them on the steps.

"Yes Ms. Appleby"

"Your Friend Michelle is going to be taking the test next line so if you would like to meet her outside my class before recess when she is done."

"Thank you for telling me." Billy thanked her.

Ms. Appleby said hello to the others and walked off.

"So we get to meet your friend at recess." Zack said jumping up.

"How old is she?" Kimberly asked standing up.

"Eleven turning twelve next month." Billy told her also getting to his feet.

"Cool" Jason said as he and Trini joined them standing.

"Speaking of birthdays mine is in two weeks." Zack reminded them.

"That's great Zack we have got to get to class." Jason said.

Billy smiled and walked off to science. He did it they had believed that story and he had had his doubts. For the next two class Billy was not paying much attention to what was going on he was for once in his life waiting for recess. As soon as the bell had rung he ran out of maths and down to Ms. Appleby class room. He got there just as Michelle came walking out.

"Michelle" Billy called as he ran up.

"Billy" Michelle cried and gave him a hug. "Guess what?"

"What?" Billy asked looking down at her.

"I get to be in your year." She said jumping back from him flashing her test in front of him.

"Wow that's great." Billy said taking her hand. "My friends want to meet you so come on."

"Michelle you forgot your little pet." Ms. Appleby said from behind them holding Slimmer's cage out to her.

"Thank you Ms. Appleby." Michelle said taking the cage from her.

"No worries." Ms. Appleby said walking off.

"You brought Slimmer here. Why?"

"I don't know but I did not want to leave him."

"Ok let go introduce you to the gang."
