Peeking into the nurse's office, I saw Coconut Head massaging his shoulder while groaning in pain. The nurse didn't seem to notice for she was trying to contain a boy who kept saying, 'toot toot' fifty billion times.

I walked in and grabbed an ice pack from the freezer, "Here you go."

Coconut Head looked up at me before smiling weakly and took the cold object off my hands. Sitting on the sightly uncomfortable plastic chair next to his, I started,

"That was some locker slam back there."

He winced of the new memory, "Yeah...Loomer does that to me all the time now."

Okay, right now I probably would be thinking what a prick Loomer is for doing that, however, seeing how he treated me outside of school, I kept my subconscious mouth shut.

The bell rung for second period, yet I still remained in place. Helping a friend is more important than going to class right now.

Awkwardly patting his shoulder, I comforted, "At least he didn't do THAT much damage?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Coconut Head got up and grabbed two late passes for class, "Yes...Good thing you were there Sadie."

Shooting him a questionable expression, we got our late passes signed by the nurse who finally took the time to recognize our presence. Coconut Head walked out of the nurse's office first, me following close behind.

"What did you mean by that?"

Coconut Head replied, "Don't tell me that you didn't see how he stopped bullying me after seeing you a few feet away."

I decided not to.

Trying my best to act innocent, I declined, "I don't recall that.."

"Yeah right...listen, I gotta get to math class before Dr. Xavier throws a fit."

"True, don't want her to turn you into a caveman and make you eat mud, now would we?" I joked. (episode reference!)

With that said, Coconut Head and I went our separate ways. I took a deep breath as I neared social studies, let's make this 'late for class' moment done and over with.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Pushing open the door, every head snapped over to me.

Mr. Paul acknowledged, "Late for class Miss. McGee?"

I nodded as I quietly closed the door and handed him my late pass. Mr. Pal scanned it over, making me wait there in front of the class.

"Hm...you don't look hurt."

I lied, "I guess it's that time of the month again."

Some students snickered with amusement, others wrinkled their noses with disgust. Yeah, I should have just said I threw up.

Mr. Pal slightly embarrassed with my so called 'active' womanly issues, waved me to my desk, "Okay then, you may take your seat. It's a good thing you arrived when you did.... almost missed my powerpoint presentation of the Egyptians..."

An imaginary choir was singing 'Hallelujah' in the back of the classroom as I reached my seat and sat down. Before I could turn my attention to the front, I got distracted when I felt two eyes practically boring into my back.

Turning around slightly, I saw Loomer smirking at me. Argh. Yes, he saw pass my lie. He was the reason I was in the nurse's office taking care of Coconut Head in the first place. Pretending to be angry, I glared at him before whipping around completely. Mr. Pal was mumbling to himself as the powerpoint presentation froze.

"God damn contraption."

Oh that's right, old people aren't up to 'hip' with the new technology nowadays.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Basically for the rest of the class period, Mr. Pal was busy trying to get his presentation to work. That gave us kids permission to mingle amongst ourselves. I tried my hardest not to look back at Loomer. Surprisingly, it was too tempting.

Pretending to drop my pencil, I leaned down to pick it up off the floor. With that cover up set perfectly in place, I casually looked up at Loomer who was staring straight down at me. Something in his baby blue eyes were different. They weren't full of trouble and disturbance. They were sincerely soft.

Completely forgetting to pick up my pencil, I shot up again and stared at the clock nervously, counting down the seconds until the bell would ring. Once it did, I shot up and grabbed my books. Practically stumbling out of the rows of desks, I fast walked out of the classroom.

Before I could reach my locker, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

Spinning around, I was met with the person who I didn't want to chat with at the moment.

He mumbled, "You forgot your pencil."

Looking down, I saw my pencil in his open hand. Hesitantly taking it, I shoved it in one of my binders.

"Thanks.."

An awkward silence filled between us. Pretending to be unaware of the situation, I started, "List-."

However, Loomer interrupted me, "You're friends with that dor--I mean Coconut Head right?"

Nodding slowly, I wondered where this was going, "Yeah..."

Loomer nodded as well as if I gave him permission to do something, "Alright...just checking."

Before I could utter out another word, Buzz and Crony appeared out of nowhere, harshly pushing Loomer away.

Crony sounded excited, "Hey man! Stole more toilet paper from the janitor's closet. Wanna teepee some more people?"

Buzz gestured towards the bag of unwrapped toilet paper.

Loomer stared down at the bag, as if he was having a serious debate with himself. A few seconds later, he laughed foolishly and replied, "Yeah!"

After Crony and Buzz high fived each other out of happiness, the three boys walked away from me and strolled down the hall way. Pushing away any oblivious students who stood in their path. I watched them till they rounded the corner and disappeared from my sight.

Damn. Boys are confusing.
