The ride to and from Dunkin Donuts was a short one. Of course, it helped that it was only a few minutes away from where I lived.

My school was also not to far from my house, which was a good thing since I was almost late.

With the car door car stopped outside of the school, I quickly got out, my mom shouting "I love you" as she drove away.

As if.

I quickly walked over to my locker and practically threw the door open, taking out my Social Studies and Biology books out, setting my bag down.

"Hey, Zachary!" Said a feminine voice from the other side of my locker door.
It was my best friend, Maggie.

"Hey" I said, smiling.
It felt good to finally not be called by my dead name.

Then suddenly, another girl cam running towards us, stopping by Maggie and giving her a kiss. She said hi to me, then ran back to class.

I smirked at Maggie
"So.....how long have you two been a thing now?"

Maggie just looked at me and blushed.

For the five years that I've known Maggie, she's always had a crush on this girl named Sophie.

I don't blame her, though.
Sophie was as smart as she was beautiful, with long auburn hair and big blue eyes.

You could say I have a type.

Maggie cleared her throat and began to speak.
"Last Friday, I asked her out and...she said yes. I promise you, I meant to contact you right after, but she insisted I waited, and then we went on a date and-"

"You got her in bed."

"-I...How'd you know?"
I shrugged as her face flushed even more.

"You could say my spidey senses acted up."

She laughed and I grabbed my bag again, just in time for the bell to ring.

A bell that meant class was over

A  bell that meant Maggie and I had missed class.

Great.
