“OH!” Lucas shouted jumping from his seat when Hermione’s fist connected with Malfoy’s nose. “Did you see how she punched him!”
“I can’t believe she punched the ferret.”
His outburst caused Caroline to stir awake and look around startled.
“Dude!” Aiden chastised him. “Do you have ADHD or something?”
“Lucas,” I began. “I swear if you don’t shut the fuck up, you’re never invited to my house again.”
“There’s no need to gang up on me!” He replied sinking back into his seat.
I felt Aiden shift next to me, and next thing I know he’s leaning in to whisper, “You know, I think I felt
a shift in the in the space–time continuum.”
I gave him a questioning look. What the hell was he talking about. He continued, “If I’m not
mistaken, you and I just agreed on something.”
I couldn’t help the grin that spread across my face. “Looks like we did.”
“Careful, or I might think you’re starting to like me.” He winked.
Oh, little do you know.
“Are you ready for the game tonight?” Caroline grinned as she and I made our way to my locker
after Calculus.
“Ready for it to be over, yes.” I snorted as I put in the combination. “I totally bombed that Biology quiz on Monday, and I got a B on my English essay!” All of the late practices during the week were
finally starting to catch up with me. When I would get home, I would immediately crash and I had to
force myself to stay awake to finish all the assignments due the following day.
It didn’t help that all of our teachers decided to give out a shit ton of assignments at the same time.
The English essay I got a B on, that was the third one in two weeks! Throw in two more history essay, an Economics paper, and a biology and calculus quiz – I was just about ready to pull my own hair
out.

And as much as I was enjoying the extra time I was spending with Aiden, it was seriously starting to affect my school work. Last weekend, Aiden, Lucas and Caroline all ended up sleeping over Friday night and we spent all of Saturday getting through the rest of the Harry Potter movies. I tried my bes to study that Sunday, but I just couldn’t concentrate.
Come Monday morning I was totally freaking out, and I even woke up at 5 am to try and get some last minute studying in. To this day I don’t know if that did more good or damage.
I ended up getting some of those grades back today, and lets just say that I’m lucky that my mom stopped checking my grades back in middle school.
“Oh come on, Nat!” Caroline groaned. “It’s just one bad grade. Some of us would kill for a B on our
English Essays.”
I turned to glare at her. “B’s won’t get me a full–ride anywhere! You know as well as I do that college’s
still check your senior year grades.”
“You’re over reacting.” She bit back. “It’s senior year, it’s okay to breath once in a while.”
Was she right? Absolutely. Was I going to be rational and listen? Fuck no.
“Anyway!” She continued. “Both Brooke and I will be there. It’s senior night and there’s no way we’re
missing it!”
“Ah, yes.” I sighed. “Senior night“. It’s the last game of the season, and each year it’s dedicated to the
seniors on the team. There are posters, pictures, and all that other crap. Usually for our team it’s
pretty relaxed, but if you were to attend senior night for the boys‘ basketball or soccer team, be
prepared to get trampled on. Those can get pretty serious.
“I’m so excited!” She squealed as the two of us made our way to the library on the first floor. We have a test next period for French, and Caroline promised to help me get some last minute studying in during lunch.
Just then, something hit me. “Oh Care! Don’t do anything overboard. I mean it. I just want this season
to be over with.”
“Don’t you worry your pretty little head about a thing.” She smirked. It’s safe to say I was officially worried. “Now, I know I promised to help you study, but Brooke needs me for something last
minute.”
“Caroline.” I warned her. I have a feeling this little spur of the moment errand has something to do with tonight.

“But!” She continued. “Do not fret, I found you a new study partner.”
Before I could ask who my new study partner is, Caroline pushed me through the library doors and
left.
This girl, will one day be the death of me. I swear.
I was scanning the room to see who she could have possibly gotten to be my study partner when I spotted a familiar mess of tousled brown hair.
Of course.
“Let me guess,” I said as I walked up to the table Aiden was currently occupying. “Caroline told you to be my study buddy.”
“Well hello to you too.” He smirked.
I groaned taking a seat right across from him. “I don’t know what she was thinking. You can go enjoy
the rest of your lunch period.”
