I honestly still hadn't come up with a nickname for him, so I tried random ones every day hoping they might stick. He always called me bunny until middle school when he started calling me other stuff related to bunnies. I slowly turned and saw my friend, Luke standing behind me, smiling gently. "Hey cotton tail." My attention was turned to a voice behind me. I gave her a sympathetic smile before turning my attention back to the teacher who had just entered the room.

If anybody knows about change, Adrie's the number one person. "Not always for the best though." Adrie said bitterly, more to herself than me.Īddie's brother got into drugs and other stuff like that, he used to be kind and protective, not to mention smart, but now he's anything but. I shrugged a shoulder and twisted my earring in my ear. "I doubt that is going to stop anything." Adrie scoffed as we sat down in chemistry.Īdrie gave me a skeptical look and raised an eyebrow. I nodded and followed behind her in silence. "Alright, that's what I like to hear, dismissed!"Īdrie grabbed my wrist ushering me to leave so we wouldn't get trampled. "You will no longer sit by each other, you will be divided among yourselves, girls sitting at one end of the cafeteria and boys at the other, you will be closely monitored, and until you can control yourselves, it will stay that way, do you understand?"Ī wave of "yes sir" and "yes Principal Carlswell." Echoed throughout the assembly hall.

"If you think hurting another student can go unnoticed, then you at wrong." He continued. I peeked through a small gap in the crowd so I could just see him, his eyes scanning the crowd. "I have gained recent news that one of our great players of our football team physically assaulted another student." He paused. I lost sight of him until his voice boomed in the speakers set all around the room. His stomach popped out like a potbelly pig and his graying hair was combed back slightly with a big brown and gray mustache. I just got a glimpse of the principal walking up the stairs onto the light oak wood planks of the stage, with a background of red velvet that moved slightly as he walked by the curtain. We stood in the back, trying to peek up over tall heads but were unsuccessful. When we slipped in the doors the assembly had only just begun. Our feet clapped with the aluminum tile as we ran. Adrie and I sprinted down the halls toward the assembly hall.
