"You going to stare at me or let me in?"

"Right, sorry. I moved aside so she could enter. We went to my room and I waited to see where she was going to sit. To my surprise she went to sit on the bed. So I picked the chair at my desk, to keep a nice distance.

She stared at me for a moment. "Your voice sounds normal. Guess you got over your cold?" I could hear the bitterness in her voice.

"Is that sarcasm?"

"Depends, did you really have a cold?"

Why lie when she already knows the truth. "No."

"Then yes it's sarcasm."

"Look Karm-"

"I didn't come here to talk." She stated. "I'm here so we can divide the project between us."

I could tell she didn't want to talk about all the things we should talk about. "It's going to take longer than one night to finish it you know." I said.

"Well I thought tonight we'd spilt the project up and one does the 2D part, and the other one writes the paper. Also I want you to have the Ms. Woods version of the notes along with whatever you might have Google searched. I was going to give them to you after class but seeing that you left before the bell stopped ringing, I didn't really have much of a chance."

"Yeah, sorry about that."

She went into her bag and pulled out some papers. "Here," she laid them on the bed, "I already made copies for you to make this easy."

"I guess that means I'm writing the paper?"

"You've always been better with words." She said.

"You've always been more creative." I offered back. Looking down at the ground.

"Great, then were agreed." She got up and made her way to the door. When she was in the doorway she turned around.

"Look Amy, I know we have a lot to talk about." I looked up at her. "So we'll talk tomorrow. Now that you're talking to me, somewhat. I need to clear my head for a day, but tomorrow for sure. Same time?"

I nodded. She turned back around and left.

Even though we had a week to clear both our heads, I don't think either of us really took the time to think. Just over think, you know what I mean? & as far as the school was concerned we had broken up because now her and Liam were dating. So my 'cold' was no surprise to anyone. They probably all thought I was heart broken and recovering this whole time. Which I was, but not in the way they think. I read all of the notes she had left before I went to sleep. Still had no idea what our project was about because I'm always loss in the sauce when it comes to chemistry. I went to sleep and looked forward to first period tomorrow for once.

The next day I walked into class without hesitation and went to sit in my seat. Karma came in a minute later. looking flawless as ever. She sat down and we looked at each other. She gave me a small smile and I returned it.

"So, overalls today?" She chuckled to herself.

I looked down at my outfit. I was wearing a plain white shirt with overalls and black vans. My hair was up in a messy bun and I had my Mickey Mouse watch inhabiting my left wrist. I looked over and Karma had her Minnie one on.

"I woke up and thought; I want to be warm but still be able to feel a breeze."

She laughed.

"I see your wearing your watch too." I said.

"I haven't taken it off, I was wearing it yesterday too."

I thought back to yesterday. "I hadn't noticed." I said. Which I hadn't.

She looked at it smiling. "Six years strong, since we got these, I'm too far in to take it off now."

I smiled. "Good to hear."

Class began and Ms. Woods spent the whole time rambling. No one else got to talked, but mostly because 3/4 of the class was sleeping. She wished everyone a happy Tuesday and class ended. We both picked up our books and left.

"Have you ever noticed," Karma began to say, "that she only wishes us happy Tuesdays and not any other day?"

I laughed. "I hadn't noticed."

"Must be like her favorite day."

"Odd choice don't you think?" I said.

"Very." She agreed.

We had reached Mr. Parker's room. "I'll see you later." I said.

She looked up. "Oh, we're here already."

"It's literally three doors down the hall." I said.

"Why are mine always two floors down or like twenty rooms away from the last class?" She laughed.

"Universe wants you to fail." I laughed back.

"Obviously." She said a little more serious. "See you later." She flashed a smile then skipped down the hall to meet Liam at his locker.

I had to hold back the throw up that was rising up my throat.

"Ugh, straight people." I turned around and there stood a girl about the same height as me. She had dark brown hair and a very hippy vibe going on with her tie-dye shirt and daisy duke shorts. Her hair was down and curly with a gold headband. I would've never put this outfit together but she pulled it off somehow.

"I know right." I said.

She smiled and that's when I noticed her lip piercing. The shirt had been very distracting. She had such a sweet and friendly smile that was inviting.

"Hi, my names Amy." I said.

"I know," she stuck out her hand, my names Danny."

I shuck her hand. "Sometimes I forget we're like royalty around here."

"Use to be." She joked.

"Right." I laughed. "Are you in this class?"

"Yeah, I had to switch out of wood shop because I was failing, due to my inability to care about wood shop."

"So you picked Religious Studies?" I chuckled.

"It was either this or Fit for Life, which is like a more advanced version of PE, and lets be real."

"Haha." I smile once more and went to sit down. She ended up being assigned to the seat behind me. I realized I finally might have a friend in this stupid period.

Class ended and as I was getting up she asked what my number was in case she needed help with homework. I gave it to her and we exchanged goodbyes. That night around six she started texting me about how Buddhism was probably going to be her 'religion' in the class. Everyone got to pick one and everyones had to be different. All your projects and assignments would surround it. Even though I lied to Mr. Parker claiming it was my favorite class, it wasn't that bad. No surprise Hester was throwing religious acceptance into the mix. We we're still texting when seven o'clock rolled around and I heard the doorbell ring.

I jumped up and bolted towards the door. I swung it open and Karma greeted me with a smile.

"Come in." I said.

"Don't mind if I do."

We went to my room, only this time we both sat on my bed. About a ruler width apart. My phone beeped and we both looked at it then looked back at each other.

"I'll get it later." I said.

"Alright," Karma started talking, "I've thought about our," she gestured between us "situation." I raised my eyebrows. "I'm ok with you taking some time to I don't know, think? Whatever you've been doing rather than answering my phone calls. But you need to think faster or something because I miss my best friend."

"Karma, you do understand why I've been avoiding you right?"

"Yes." She paused. "That doesn't mean we still can't be best friends. I admit last night I was still mad because you'd been so distant but just bantering back in forth this morning reminded me how much I miss us."

"I can't be your friend right now."

My phone beeped again. We both ignored it.

"What do you mean?" She looked upset.

"I can't be around you so casually, like every things fine. I can't hear you talk about Liam, or hangout for extended periods of time."

"You're not even going to try and get over all this?"

"Trust me Karma, I am trying, but you're not an overnight kind of crush."

She sighed. "I understand what you're saying. When you're ready to be best friends again, you have my number." She got up and came over to hug me. I welcomed her hug for a few seconds then pulled away. Then my phone beeped again.

She walked towards the door and turned around. "Don't take too long to get over me." We both laughed. Her a little more than me. She turned back and left.

I picked up my phone and saw two messages from Shane, both having to do with his outfit tomorrow, and one from Danny. Which also had to do with outfits. Oddly enough tomorrow was twin day at school and Danny and I had very similar features. Except she had cuter dimples and green eyes. She wanted to know if we could be twins. She said it'd be fun to confuse Mr. Parker. I agreed and we dressed accordingly the next day.

When first period ended, Karma walked with me to my next class like she had the day before. She wasn't really understanding the concept of only seeing each other during chemistry but I was too nice to deny her. Also she needed to tell someone how her parents painted all the rooms in their house yellow except hers, to bring a 'happier aroma' to their home.

When we got closer to Mr. Parkers room Karma stopped talking when she saw a girl standing outside the class wearing exactly what I was wearing. I could tell thats why because her face kept looking from her body to mine. "Amy," she whispered, "I have a spare shirt in my locker. I can't help you with the pants."

I looked over at Danny and smiled. "Karma it's twin day today."

It took her a second to understand. "Holy crap I forgot! Why didn't you remind me?"

I gave her a look.

"Right, but still, and who is she? You and I are always twins."

"Come meet her."

Danny being as polite as ever stuck her hand out. "Hi, I'm Danny."

Karma shuck it. "Karma." Which if you listened closely enough there was definitely a bitterness in her voice.

"I know." Danny said.

"We're royalty." I said. Danny laughed.

"I suppose we are." Karma gave Danny a once over then looked over her shoulder. "There's Liam," she looked back at Danny, "nice to meet you, see you guys later." She turned and walked away with a sassier walk than usual. Kind of like, watch me while I walk away, walk.

"She seems charming." Danny said.

"She doesn't like meeting new people."

Danny went into class and I looked back over at Karma and Liam. Karma was looking over at me while hugging Liam. Once she saw me looking back she kissed Liam. Which is weird right? Probably jealous I've been making other friends. Other cool friends might I add, Danny's pretty dope. I had a blank expression on my face while I turned and went into class, to show that I could care less. I could feel Karma's eyes on me when I disappeared thorough the doorway. Two minutes later I got a text.

TEXT MESSAGE

Karma

"See you again tonight, to see where we're at on the project?" —K

"Can't, already have plans." —A

She never replied for the rest of the day. It wasn't a complete lie, I had plans. Plans to get over her. Which means I needed fake plans so I didn't have to hangout with her. I thought back to when I introduced her and Danny. That was a very strange reaction to have for Karma. But the way she kissed Liam was even stranger, almost trying to make me not want to get over her.
