Tammy's POV

It was Saturday.

After a week full of long boring lectures and after school prep, the day of rest and relaxation had finally arrived.

Though I think that was Sunday.

You know what, it doesn't matter as long as I get to kick back and relax for as long as I want y'all can call it whatever you want. I couldn't care less.

I lay on my bed lazily not willing to move a muscle. I turned to my side to face the room and the large window on Hannah's side.

I had woken up around 4 and wasn't able to go back to sleep so I just stared at nothing in particular for the past two and a half hours.

Sometime between then and now I watched as Hannah seemed to be getting ready to go out, making sure no one was watching her.

She did a poor job at that, seeing I didn't even have to pretend to be asleep. I was too tired to question her so I just let it slide and watched her get ready and leave. We would discuss that later.

And then there were three.

A little while later, Grace's alarm clock woke her up and she said she was going to study in the library.

I asked 'Why so early' and she just replied that she liked the quiet. I refrained from asking any more questions because she would probably have an answer for those ones as well.

And then there were two.

Now, I watched as MJ got ready to leave saying she was meeting up with a friend that she hadn't seen in a while and they won't be able to meet up at any other time.

"Go do something fun, dude" she urged as she put on her jacket.

"But I'm tired" I whined and she laughed.

"You can't spend the whole day in bed-"

"Yes, I can" I interjected.

"Okay, lemme rephrase that. I forbid you from spending the whole day in bed" she says dramatically like a queen giving orders to her subjects. Which made me laugh.

"You forbid me?" I ask in mock disbelief, "Oh no, now I have no choice but to do what the queen says" I add dryly.

"C'mon ice queen. Go have a little fun for once. You could call the boys or something"

"Or something"

"Why don't you wanna hang out with them?" She asks ask she sprays perfume. Leaving my nostrils to suffer the strong smell. It's a good thing the window is open.

"It's not like I don't want to. I just feel like it'll be weird being the only girl"

"Says the girl that tells me back home she had all guys friends" she says as she raises an eyebrow.

"Almost all guy friends" I corrected, "And, actually, I'm just lazy" I admit earning a laugh from her.

"Well you're gonna have to leave the room sooner or later"

"I choose later"

"Whatever dude. I'm gonna grab some breakfast on my way there" she casually adds and my eyes are wide open now.

I totally forgot about breakfast. Well she had me there. She smiled in satisfaction obviously getting the reaction she wanted.

"Now I'm 100% sure you're gonna leave" she says with a smug smirk as she closes the door behind her.
She's good.

"Adios amiga" was the last thing I heard her say before she left.

And then there was one.

I sighed to myself. As much as I didn't wanna get out of bed, I didn't wanna miss breakfast more.

•♥♥♥•
After realizing how hungry I was, I got dressed and left to look for a good place to eat.

I would've gone to the cafeteria but I don't trust what they put in those pancakes anymore. I can only imagine how expired the mix is for them to come out like, that.

I should know. I remember once when I wanted to make pancakes with my sister, Dizzy, when I was twelve. She was fifteen then. She had wanted to teach me so I'd stop coming to bug her to make them for me. In my excitement, I forgot to check the expiring date of the mix like she asked before using it and let's just say the pancakes we made aren't so different from the ones they serve in the cafeteria.

I shuddered in disgust at the distant memory.

So I was left to wander campus looking for the next best place to eat.

Sunview didn't allow phones so I couldn't call anyone to ask if they knew anywhere good to eat. I should've asked where MJ was going when I had the chance.

After wandering around for a while I stopped to rest my back on the wall of a building I assumed was the gym.

What made me think so?

Lucky guess but mostly because it said 'GYM' in big red letters above the doors.

I watched people walk past with their friends, talking and laughing and couldn't help but feel a bit lonely. I continued my quest for food, kicking a small pebble as I went.

I had walked for at least 45 more minutes when I heard two people arguing ahead. Well, it was more like one person scolding the other while they tried to defend themselves. I heard something about a phone and sneaking in so I thought best to turn around when I recognized one of the voices.

"Hannah?" I asked as I walked forward.

"What's going on? Haven't seen you since you snuck out this morning" I greeted casually but she didn't react.

She instead dismissed the girl she was scolding and said they'd come back to it later before facing her attention back to me.

'Maybe she had seen me and just ignores me' I thought when's he didn't respond.

"What's up" she said as she walked towards me. I did same.

"What were you talking about with glasses over there?" I asked referring to the retreating figure she was just scolding.

"Oh, it nothing. I was just asking her to tutor me" she says as we walked side-by-side.

Well that was a bunch of baloney. Hannah was one of the smartest mean girls I knew.

"Yeah, what subject?" I asked staring her down.

"Math"

That was pretty believable since she does kinda suck at Math but I still wasn't convinced.

"So what was the stuff about sneaking in and phones I heard?" Looking straight ahead as I said it. She looked surprised for a few seconds before composing herself once again.

"You were eavesdropping?"

"I think everybody within 50 ft of you guys could hear your conversation. You were yelling remember?"

"Well, if you must know. Ms Ramirez confiscated something very precious to me during class just because I was fiddling with it instead of listening to her boring Spanish class" she huffed

"So you were gonna ask her to help you get it back?" I asked

"Something like that. All I need is a distraction and I can do the rest"

"What if I help you?" I offered turning to face her and she gave me a wide smile.

"You would do that for me?" she asks

"Of course, your my friend after all and friends look out for friends" I say and she drags me into a hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" she says as she squeezes the little life out of me.

"Can't... breathe..." I choke before she lets me go.

"Sorry, but you don't know what this means to me" she says, gratefully.

"Can I ask you one more question though?"

"Sure"

"If you left so early how come you haven't even gotten anything done?"

"Well, I had to do some ground work first, scope the school and find where she kept it-"

"What is this it anyway? You're still yet to tell me"

"You find out if and when we get it back"

"Anyways back to what I was saying. She kept it in her desk drawer but she's at her desk all day on Saturdays-"

"Well, that's pretty sad"

"Would you just lemme finish" she says impatiently

"Oh, right. Sorry, you may continue"

"Where was I. Oh, right. She's at her desk all day except when she goes to the bathroom - which is unpredictable - or when she goes out for lunch around 12:50-1:15pm. So that's when we strike"

"So what do you need a distraction for?"

"To keep her there longer than 25 minutes" she says in a duh tone.

As much as I like this chick, she can be pretty annoying at times.

"Okay, so what do you suggest?" I ask

"You're the one who volunteered. You come up with something"

"Well it's not that easy to-" I stopped midway and smiled a wicked smile.

"I have an idea" I say like an evil genius.

"I know I'm supposed to be scared of the evil smile and all but I kinda like it" she says approvingly.

"Thanks. But first, where can a girl get something decent to eat?" I ask and my stomach growls as if on cue.

She begins to laugh and I join her.

"C'mon, I know this really good café on the other side of campus" she says leading the way.

•♥♥♥•
"These crepes are on point" I compliment as I stuff my face.

"Please give my compliments to the chef" I add and the waiter, a brunette dude with blue eyes around my age, nods as he goes back into the kitchen.

Hannah had led me to a quaint looking cafe. It wasn't too busy but wasn't too deserted either. I looked up at the sign board. It read, 'Micheal's Breakfast Buffet' and I saw in smaller font under, 'we do lunch as well!'

I looked at the sign for what seemed like forever before we went inside and were seated by our waiter - yeah, the brunette guy- who's name I learned was Steven.

I swallowed a mouthful of crepes and chugged down a glass of pineapple juice, eating to my heart's content.

What can I say. I've been walking around campus for the past one and half hours (it took us half an hour to get to the café). It's not my fault my manners are not at their best.

My mom would be livid is she saw me like this. She believes in acting ladylike in everything she does and she gets us girls to try to too. She got to Dizzy and Nia but I was always one tough nut to crack she would say. If I belched too loudly or put my feet on the coffee table she would always be there to correct me everytime. No matter how many times I tell her it's just not my thing.

I snorted to myself. That woman just won't give up on me.

"Thanks for bringing me here" I say as I use the napkin to wipe my mouth.

"Devilish crepes for a devilish girl" Hannah says and I can't help but smile.

"So what did you have in mind?" Hannah asks as she sips her pink lemonade.

"I thought you'd never ask" I reply with an evil grin.

I explain the plan to her and she seems confused at first but then smiles as well.

"You little evil genius"

"Awn, you flatter me"

We then continued to discuss the plan as I dug into my crepes and she nibbled on her omelette.

This my dear friends is how you have some real fun.

Another chapter done🎉

I have been trying to get Tammy to tell me what the distraction will be but she won't budge.

Tammy: You'll have to wait until the next chapter.

Me: But I-🥺

Tammy: No buts

Me: But I have to write it🙄

Tammy: Oh, but just this once.

*Whispers plan in my ear*

I have created an evil genius😈

Comment what you think the distraction will be and no guess is unwelcome (unless it's stupid on purpose)✨

See you guys in the next chapter 😘❤️
