I caught the pillow Lisa threw at me for the umpteenth time.
"Lisa, do you mind?. I'm trying to study". I yelled pretending to take chemistry serious. To be honest, I was just glancing through the textbook to escape going anywhere with Lisa.
"You study Everytime" she whined. "Let's do something fun"
I raised my head and met her gaze. " This is my idea of fun. Studying"
"You're boring".
"Hmm" I agreed with her.
We fell silent for a minute.
"Hey," she started as her face lit up in excitement. "Pops bakery is opening tonight. He's throwing a party. We're going"
I sighed. She wasn't taking no for an answer. "Okay sure"
A knock on my room door interrupted us. Before I could say "jack", the door was popped open by my brother.
"Explain your mission" I demanded.
"Give me a break Kenzy" he tilted his head towards Lisa. "Hey Lis, you look nice"
Yes she did. She always looks nice.
"I always do" she replied proud of herself. " I do love what you did with your hair"
"I took your advice"
So that's why his hair looked so great.
Lisa gave him a thumbs up and a wink.
Damian turned to me "You should learn from your best friend..."
Oh no, you didn't. " Damian, good thinking" I snapped cutting him off totally. " You have five seconds to get out of my room"
"It's a pretty good advice..."
" One!!" he scurried out.

The next day, there was a lot more peace and quiet in school. No exciting thing or person to look forward to. Everyone was carrying out their own business as usual.
I waited by my locker while Lisa talked to a couple of freshmen from the volley ball team. God knows what she was telling them because she wasn't even in the volleyball team. Matter of fact, she wasn't interested in any sport activity. After a few minutes of waiting, she was done talking to them.
She walked up to me. "Hey, sorry I made you wait".
I waved it off. "It's fine. What were you telling them anyway?"
"They suck at volleyball and their team captain is as dumb as a biscuit. I was just giving them some volleyball tips"
"When did you starting playing volleyball?"
"Junior freshman year before she decided to quit on anything that made her her" Vandi cut her off before she could reply.
I almost rolled my eyes. What was she doing here anyway?
"What do you want, Vandi?" Lisa questioned.
"I'm throwing a party on Thursday night at sky house. You're invited".
" Sky house?. Isn't that one of your family's old mansions?" I asked.
"Yeah. My great grand dad's" she replied then tilted her head towards Lisa. "I don't care if you bring her. I just don't want to see those ugly sweaters at my party".
" I'm not coming" I said
She shrugged putting on her signature smile. "I don't care". she walked out.
I could feel Lisa's eyes on me. " Oh, you're definetly going"
Yay. I was definitely going.

Biology.
For some reason, I disliked the subject. Maybe it's because i disliked the subject the teacher. I mean, when you dislike the teacher you dislike the subject.
My theory. Tested and proven.
A figure walked up to me. "Can I seat?"
Yeah. I recognize the voice. "Knock yourself out" I replied dryly not looking up from my textbook.
I could still feel him staring at me. Again.
"Please, for the love of God stop staring at me. it's creepy"
"You're reading the wrong page of your text book" he pointed out calmly.
He wasn't wrong. "Nice observation, Sherlock"
He chuckled lightly. "Feisty, aren't we?". I rolled my eyes. "I'm Kayden"
" Okay". I wasn't in the mood for a conversation.
"This is the part where you tell me your name. That's how introduction works"
I shot him a glare. " How about you don't talk to me for the rest of the day"
" That's not very nice but whatever you say".
He remained quiet for the rest of the class just like as I asked him to. I did feel bad a little though.
💦💦
Lisa stole a fry from my plate earning her a glare.
"How about you try that again. Next thing you'd lose would be your arm" I threatened jokingly.
" Feisty as always" I jumped at the kind of the voice. I didn't expect it.
"What the hell!. Are you stalking me, Haynes?"
He sat next to me. "You wish". He sent Lisa a killer smile. " I'm Kayden"
" Lisa"
" You two are friends?"
" Well duh" I replied same time Lisa said, " She's my bestfriend".
"What do you want, Haynes?" I asked.
"I came to have lunch with you girls. Hope it's fine?"
Lisa nodded. I didn't say anything.
"I didn't get your name though"
"Kenzy" I mumbled.
He snickered. "Kenzy azin nerdy Kenzy"
"You're the first person saying this to me. You're welcome". I snapped in annoyance.
The sarcasm?. Too obvious.
"it's a joke. You don't have to be so sensitive about it"
" You've got to be kidding me". I said and stormed out of the cafeteria.
I heard Lisa say. "You my friend just fucked up", she bit a fry. "Big time"
