Yes.... I'm going to be time skipping.... that's ONLY because I want to move on with the story and not stay at one part! So please don't sue me. Oh and the picture.... if you read The Gaming Theory you understand what this means!! All I'm saying is pay VERY close attention to this chapter and the next chapters that are coming up ;)

(Your POV)

     "Are you sure all of this is necessary? What if she doesn't even come to school today? What if she comes in late?" I ask Hope. She stands on her crutches and holds a couple of purple balloons. She looks at me for a second then turns back to looking at the door.

"She said that she's going to be here ANY minute. I don't care if I'm late to class or not. I'm meeting my best friend for the first time in real life." She says. Again am I just chopped liver or something?

"So.... where's Brian, Craig, David, and that new guy uh... Brock at?" I ask. She continues to look at the door but answers my question.

"Craig is in math trying to finish up a test, David is sick, Brock is in the library, and Brian he's also in math class trying to finish up his homework." She says. Wonder where Evan is, haven't seen him yet which is oddly weird for him.

"Where's YOUR man at? Surprised he's not glued onto you." She says looking back at me and starting to laugh a little.

     I roll my eyes and pull out my phone, seeing that I had a couple of text messages, one from the mystery person, and a couple from Evan. I click on the mystery numbers first and read theirs.

     Everyone's getting sick, this isn't good for homecoming being tomorrow. Literally there's only 15 people in my class and the rest are out sick. Huh, wonder what's going around making everyone get sick. Hope gasps and starts to squeal. I look up from my phone and see a girl with purple hair walk in, I quickly realize that's it's Holly. Wow, brown to purple real quick. She smiles and runs over to Hope giving her a hug.

     "THERE'S MY CRIPPLING FRIEND! OH MY GOD THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING! WAIT! ARE THOSE FOR ME?! HOPE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE!" Holly says loudly, looking at Hope. Hope hands her the balloons and Holly gladly takes them. She looks over at me, the smile still on her face. She lets go of the hug from Hope and then proceeds to give me a hug.

     "IT'S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU (Y/N)!" Holly says with the same tone. I start to laugh as she lets go of the hug. She looks between the two of us and sighs.

     "Well, I'm glad that I have all the same classes with you guys so I won't get lost!" Holly says with enthusiasm.

     As we walk to class I take my phone back out and look at the messages from Evan.

     I'll be coming in late today! Apparently if you miss school today you don't go to the dance tomorrow and I'm DEFINITELY going to be there with YOU tomorrow! I smile and look at the next text. I can't wait to see my beautiful girlfriend again! I honestly don't get how I last without seeing you for so long! We stop outside of my class and I put my phone away.

     "So this is your math class you'll have it with (Y/N), Brian, and David. But since David isn't here today, it's just (Y/N) and Brian. Also since today is basically a free day and Becky is the best teacher ever, you won't do anything in that class." Hope says.

     The bell rings before Hope can say anything else. She smiles at us and starts to hop towards her math class. Holly and I walk into class and sit next to Brian. He looks up at us and stares at Holly.

     "So the grape finally arrived here in Ohio." Brian says. Did he seriously just call her a grape just because of her hair?

     "Someone's just jealous of my awesome hair." Holly says flipping her hair over her shoulder.

     "I agree with her. You DO get jealous sometimes over certain things." I say. He starts to crack a smile and looks back down at his paper.

     "I gotta finish this since I'm missing it. So stop bugging me nerds." He says. I roll my eyes and look at Holly.

     "So what did you leave behind when you moved here?" I ask her. She shrugs her shoulders and sits back in her seat.

     "Nothing much really. I mean yeah I left some friends behind there. I left my memories back there but nothing really THAT important." She says. I nod my head and sit back in my seat as well.

     "I thought that you had a boyfriend? Didn't you leave him behind as well?" I ask her. She looks down at her desk and shakes her head no.

     "Yeah I have a boyfriend but I didn't leave him. I uh...... he uh lives here actually..... in Lakeview." She says. I sit up and paying full attention to her now.

     "TELL ME EVERYTHING! HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?! WHO IS HE MORE IMPORTANTLY?!" I ask. She looks up from the desk, her face starting to get red she leans in close to me.

     "Look, Hope and no one else knows about this. I'm trusting you not to say anything, can I do that?" She asks. I smile and nod my head. She smiles back at me and takes a deep breath.

     "We uh..... met on this website where you can uh.... read books on? Yeah, lets go with that." She says, I inch closer to her, dying to know who it is. She sighs and takes another deep breath.

     "In serious (Y/N) you can't tell ANYONE!" She says. I nod my head and she sighs again.

     "It's Jonathan." She says in a whisper to where I can barely hear her. I still was able to hear her though.
