I walked down the hall feeling self-conscious as I made my way inside my first class, to my seat. I was wearing my Iron Man shirt. It was glowing and kind of embarrassing now.

I glanced around the classroom. I was the first one in but soon came in Vic. His hair was down and he was grinning. He was wearing a Superman shirt.

"Nice shirt." Vic nodded at me as he came over and I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Tha-Thanks," I said and he grinned sitting down. "I like your shirt too," I said and he flipped his hair.

"Why thank you," he said winking and I felt my cheeks heat up more.

Soon Algebra 2 was over and we headed to Art together for the first time. I felt slightly fidgety since I was kinda nervous. I wonder where Vic went when he wasn't in class early like me. We walked in and Clyde was already there waving at us smiling. He was in a green lantern shirt.

"Nice shirt," Clyde said pointing at mine and I felt my cheeks warm up as I giggled then covered my mouth.

"Thanks," I said smiling and he smiled also.

"What about my shirt?" Vic asked as he sat down at the table.

"It's too ordinary like you," Cory said walking in and Vic placed a hand on his heart gasping as Cory rolled his eyes sitting down.

Cory was wearing a Batman jacket and his shirt said I'm 92% I'm Batman. But the back of his shirt had Batman and Superman.

"Pretty sure your jacket is ordinary also Cory, and I'm 100% sure you're, not Batman," Vic said rolling his eyes and Cory glared flipping him off.

"Woah Woah Woah, language," Mr.Kent said.

"Sorry," Cory grumbled as I blinked.

"Poor pure Oakely didn't need to see that," Clyde said shaking his head and pat my head making my cheeks heat up as I huffed.

He was shorter than me and treating me like a kid. He grinned up at me and our eyes met. Clyde really did have nice eyes.

"Nice shirt Oakely." I heard a familiar voice say and I felt my breath get caught in my throat.

I don't know why. But Farley looked really nice in his Captain America shirt but it looked a bit tight. I felt my face heat up and I looked away.

"You have a nice shirt too," I mumbled as he sat down only to realize Vic's shirt was tight on him too. I decided to look down at the table to save myself.

Art soon ended and we turned in our artwork. I walked to Biology by myself but soon Farley was by my side. I tried to keep my eyes off him. I felt weird... like a pervert. I mentally slapped myself then shocks went through me when I was touched on the shoulder.

"Watch where you're going, you almost walked into the wall," Farley said shaking his head smiling and I felt my face heat up.

"Oo-Oops, yeah thanks," I said looking down and he laughed ruffling my hair before walking into class and my heart flips flopped as my face heated up more.

My heart only did that for Bookie....now for Farley. Why am I having such weird feelings? I huffed at myself and walked into the classroom. The whole time I tried to concentrate but it was hard with Vic coming over to bother us and him and Farley with their tight clothing.

Soon the bell rung and I headed to my Photography class with Farley. I couldn't stop sneaking glances at him as we went up the stairs. He finally caught me when we made it to the last staircase and I felt my cheeks heat up when our eyes met. I wanted to crawl into a hole to hide. He raised his eyebrow and I looked away climbing up the stairs to get past the doors to the hallway.

Don't ask why. Don't ask why I was looking at you. I can just pretend I wasn't....yeah.

"Oakely!" I heard him say before I walked in the door.

Farley rushed over and I rubbed my head mumbling. "Every time." I huffed pouting.

"Be more careful and look where you're going." he laughed softly and ruffled my hair making my heart flip-flop as heat rushed to my cheeks.

"U-Uh right, okay," I said as he opened the door for me not helping the heart or the heat stop.

Today in photography we had to take a picture of different people wearing superhero shirts. It was a lot of work running around after taking pictures of people in the class. Luckily Farley helped me out a lot and I tried helping him also.

When lunch came along I saw Cory and Vic at the table alone at first since Farley and I just got there. Not a good combination and I tell they must have been arguing before we got here. I took a seat with my tray next to Cory as Farley was about to sit next to me but Clyde came pouting.

"I sit there," Clyde said and Farley muttered something before huffing and going to the other side, sitting next to Vic.

"See, no one wants to sit by you," Cory said smirking and Vic huffed shooting him a glare.

I glanced at them. Why did they have such bad blood between each other?

"Hey, Oakely." I heard a voice say and I turned around to see the girl who sits by me in English.

"Oh, hey," I said as she sat next to Farley and all the guys glanced at her.

"I didn't know you had this lunch," she said smiling.

"Yeah...I do." I said and the guys glanced at each other then Claude whispered to me when she went to eat.

"Who's she?" Clyde asked and the guys all looked at me asking the same thing I guess.

"Oh...um...." I said feeling my face heat up in embarrassment. I didn't even know her name.

"I'm Lily, Lily Tank." she laughed, she had all light blue on today.

"Nice name," Cory commented and he cheeks were pink as she smiled.

"Thanks," she said as I began to eat my lunch.

There wasn't a lot of talking at the table today. I guess they didn't use Lily being there. But neither was I get I made sure to talk to her so she wouldn't feel as awkward as I did and probably the others.

At English, Mr.Pearsing was happy that most of us participated in Spirit Week. We didn't do much in English but read and highlight words we might not have known. Soon I was in Band and the teacher decided on what songs we would be playing.

"Since so many had voted on these two songs I've decided we can play them both but that means lots and lots of practice," Ms.Housewright said and we all nodded.

So the songs for the concert we would be playing is Thriller, This is Halloween, Calling All the Monsters, and the song I wrote which was Zombie.

I enjoyed playing the songs. It was really fun, so Band was amazing and then I have to leave the class for my boring class, History. But surprisingly it wasn't boring this time, we watched some movie and didn't have to take notes.

Eventually, the school was over and I took a deep breath of cold air before exhaling. I smiled, every time school ends it's like a breath of relief. But school isn't always too bad I'll admit.

"Oakely." I heard someone say and turned to see Clyde and Farley coming down the stairs with Vic trailing behind.

"I was thinking we should practice together," Clyde said grinning as Vic sighed.

"Sadly I can't, I have a football game to practice for," Vic said winking at me, before ruffling my hair when he came my way, making my cheeks heat up. "See you guys tomorrow," he said waving at us and walked away.

"Well then...just us?" Clyde asked looking at me then Farley.

"Mmm maybe," Farley said closing his eyes thinking I guess.

"I'll call my dad to ask," I said taking out my phone from my pocket and called him.

"Almost at your school." dad instantly said after answering making me laugh.

"I didn't call for that, actually can I go to a friend's to practice?" I asked hoping for a yes but instead, I got a sigh, making the hope inside me fall.

"I don't know Bug. I am almost there," he said sighing again making me almost want to pout but I didn't want to seem childish.

"Well, maybe you can drive us all to Clyde's house," I said grinning, thinking it was a perfect idea.

"Who's Clyde, is that who you text late all night?" he suddenly asked and I felt my face heat up.

"N-No Clyde is in my band class," I spoke softly, holding the phone close to my ear and mouth.

"Oh, okay well see you guys then," he said hanging up and I sighed in relief to realize I had turned away from them. They stared at me making me flustered.

"So um, my dad said he'll take us to your place Clyde," I said and Cylde grinned nodding as Farley nodded smiling which also made me grin back at them.

I was slowly losing my awkwardness around them. Maybe not around them all but I think I was getting there. Which made me feel something I couldn't explain with words exactly. Well...joy and relief? I'm not sure.

I heard a honk and turned around seeing my dad in his car. We all got in the back since I didn't want to be up in the front, sitting in the passenger seat to making things unfair.

"I didn't know there was going to be three people I'm picking up." dad said driving off from the school.

"Oh, this is Farley," I said introducing him and Farley waved which dad saw from the mirror.

"Hey Farley and Clyde, I'm Mr.Denver," he said and glanced at Clyde who waved also.

I felt like this was all awkward. I guess I never really talked to my dad about school. Like what classes I liked and what classes I didn't enjoy much. And I haven't told him about my friends really. When he asked how my day was I would just tell him and let him know if I had homework, studying, or a project to do.

Dad eventually turned on the radio when the little greetings were over. I liked the music that was playing so I hummed to it. I didn't think it would make things awkward until I caught Farley and Clyde staring at me. I felt my face heat up and I wanted to sink down into my seat to hide. But there was nowhere to hide and that would just embarrass me more. Lucky for me Clyde's place was surprising, not too far from the school.

Dad parked and Farley was the first to get out. He was on my left side since I was in the middle and Clyde sat on my right side. Clyde got out and walked around the car to his house. Farley by then was on the porch as I closed the door to dad's car and dad electronically rolled down the window on the passenger's side.

"Call me when you want me to pick you up." dad said and I nodded then waved as he drove off.

Clyde unlocked the door and we walked in behind him. "Granny?" he called out as I closed the door gently and locked it.

"In here dearie." I heard a soft voice say coming from the left.

Clyde smiled walking into the room and I glanced at Farley who shrugged following him which I did the same. We walked into what looked like a living room. It wasn't all that big but the colors seemed to match and the rugs had pretty patterns. There was a small TV that an old lady was next to in a rocking chair, knitting with a white cat on her lap.

The lady had a few wisps mustard colored hair and the rest white. She wore a white dress with purple and orange flowers and a pink crochet poncho like thing on. The cat on her lap was curled up and seemed to be asleep. I stood by Farley award.

"Granny, these are my friends. Farley and Oakely." Clyde said gesturing to us smiling as she looked at both of us then smiled gently.

"Hello dearies, want some milk," she asked politely.

"O-Oh no thank you, ma'am," I said shaking my head smiling with my cheeks slightly warm.

"Same here but thanks for your offer," Farley said and she nodded before going back.to her knitting.

"Well be upstairs Granny," Clyde whispered shooing us to the stairs.

There were only three rooms up here. Clyde lead us to the first room by the stairs and opened the door. It was a small room with yellow walls and a bed with a blue cover. The room was tidy for the most part, only some clothes on the floor. Clyde squeaked quickly kicking the little bits of clothes under his bed making Farley laugh as I giggled only to feel my face heat up, hoping they didn't pay attention to my giggle.

"Sorry for the mess," Clyde mumbled sitting on his bed which Farley decided to sit in a wooden chair by a table.

I looked around not seeing a place to sit, which I could have sat on the bed but I didn't want to be rude and plopped down on the floor. Farley grinned over at me as Clyde laughed. I huffed feeling my face heat up.

We eventually started practicing the songs. I wasn't so good, I kept missing notes or blowing too hard. Clyde and Farley were good which made me want to do better. But I was falling behind and couldn't catch up to them. An hour after practice we had chocolate milk and crackers that Clyde's granny brought upstairs for us.

I drank some of my milk and glanced at Clyde who was eating his crackers. Then I glanced at Farley who was also drinking his milk. I was about to look away when Farley stopped drinking and I saw he had a chocolate milk mustache. I snorted and almost choked. Clyde and Farley jumped up as I coughed. They both pat my back as I coughed more. I pulled away from them as my face was hot.

"I-I'm okay," I said only to see the chocolate mustache Farley had again and laughed. Farley raised an eyebrow as Clyde glanced at him then began to laugh with me. Farley eventually glanced down seeing his upper lip and huffed wiping it.

We still snickered about it as we walked to the door since I called my dad to get Farley and I, which he had called saying he was here. Farley grumbled as I waved goodbye to Clyde and his granny and ran out the door. Clyde waved back smiling before closing the door. Farley was already in the car as I walked down the steps. I got in the back with Farley and dad said hey which I said hey back smiling, before putting my seatbelt on. Farley told him the directions and we were on our way. I don't know when but I fell asleep. And I was warm and comfy the whole time.

I opened my eyes slightly and yawned.  I looked up to see dad, he was carrying me. He glanced down at me.

"Guess you're up." he chuckled and I shook my head cuddling against him, dad was tall and strong so he could carry me...and mom.

I guess I was laid down on my bed. I felt the softness and was covered with something softer. I snuggled against my bed yawning.

"Night bug, dinner should be ready when your up." I heard dad say softly.

"Night," I mumbled opening my eyes a bit before closing then again.

~ Ugh I finally updated. It took forever I'm sorry potatoes. And for people who will ask why I do smile and grin. I just feel like grinning is when it's like a big smile or something like that and show your teeth. I guess smiles show teeth too but not all the time. But anyways we almost had 3,000 words for this chapter XD YAY me! Thanks for all your support.
