The next day at school, I was walking down the hall, when I saw Liam at his locker. I walk up to him, "Hey." I said in greeting. He looks around at me and looks back around. He then slams his locker and walks away.I was stunned. I was frozen to my spot. What was that about? I hurry and catch up with him."Liam, what's the matter?" I ask. He ignores me. "What's wrong? Please talk to me." He continues to walk down the hallway, like I wasn't even there."Liam-?" Before I could say anything else, he turns into his classroom. I stopped at the door, more confused than ever. Okay. What just happened?Turning away, I left him alone and went to my first period class.----------"He totally ignored me, when I asked what was wrong." I relayed to Beth at lunch."Maybe he's tired of you and wants some space." She speculated.I shook my head, "I don't think so. I think he hates me for something. When he looked at me, I could see the hatred and disappointment in his eyes.""Do you remember doing

"I had a brother." He finally began. "He was eight years older than me and we were very close. Mason and I would do everything together. I looked up to him." He stops for a while and closes his eyes as if remembering. I placed my hand on his. He opens his eyes and looks at me. He smiles softly in appreciation, then continues. "When I was eight and he was sixteen, I wanted a new video game that had just came out, so I begged him to take me to the video store. Being the kind of person he was, he agreed to drive me.""We were in the car and on our way to the store, when all of a sudden a car came out of nowhere. Everything happened in slow motion and I don't remember much, but I remember the car hitting the driver's side of my brother's car, flipping it over." He continues. I gasp in shock."I don't know anything after that, because I was knocked out and became unconscious instantly. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. I asked the doctor how my brother was and he told me that he didn

"I really hate my biology class." I heard Beth said, as she walks up to me and leans on the locker beside mine with a sigh. "Why does Mr. Troupe has to be so boring?"First period had just ended and I was getting my books. I looked at her and laugh. "I don't know. Maybe it's because he's old." I guess, shrugging."Well, it's time he retires and stop boring us with his monotone voice." Beth groans.I close my locker and smile. "Well look at the bright side, we are going to history class now." I pull on her arm. "Come on." She smiles. I knew she would, because she loves history."By the way, what is up with Liam?" She asks as we walk to class.I frown at her. "What are you talking about?" I ask."In biology class a while ago, he seems distracted. I ask him what was wrong and he just brushes it off." She explains."I don't know, but I noticed it too when he came to my house yesterday. He got a text and then he got upset." I reply."Are you going to ask him?" She ask."He didn't answer yo

"What happened to you?" I ask Beth when she sat down at our table in the cafeteria. I noticed that she looks grumpy and has a pissed off expression on her face.She sighs heavily, "I almost got a detention in my science class this morning." "What happened?" I ask surprised."This girl was pissing me off and we started a heated argument in class." She takes up a fry and put it in her mouth and then looks at me. "Can you believe she had the nerve to talk about Brian's mother?" She stated irritated."Who is that? Do I know her?" I ask."You've probably seen her around. Her name is Aubrey." She informs."Yeah, I've seen her. What did she say?" I ask."She came and sat beside me and asked if I was prepared to be with a guy who is a potential drunk and who will spend the rest of his life in rehab. So I asked her what she was talking about." She explains. "With as much arrogance, she stated that one day Brian is going to end up like his mother.""She really said that?" I ask. She nods. "She

The rest of the weekend had passed and now it was Monday. Liam and I was at my house working on the last two sketches. Yesterday, we had spend the whole day together hanging out and drawing most of the sketches. We are ahead of time, because the assignment is due on Friday.Since we came from school, we were at my house in the spare room drawing. It has been an hour now and I was getting hungry."I'm going to make us some sandwiches." I said to Liam as I stood up. "I'll be right back." I add and he nods.I left the room and went into the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen, I saw my mom by the counter, getting dinner started."Hey Mom." I said when I enter the kitchen. Mom looked up from what she was doing."Hey Julia." She greets. "I didn't know you were here.""Yes. I'm with Liam, working on our assignment." I said."I hope you and him aren't in your room. You know how I feel about boys in your room." she warns."No Mom, we are not. We are in the spare room downstairs." I quickly cl
