I wait patiently outside of Miss Kake's room. C'mon, Rafael and Rodney! Chop chop! As I stand there, tapping my foot, I almost get run over by Juan. "Hey, Juan!" I say as I help him up. "Hey Dawn," he replies, out of breath. "Where were you going so fast?" I ask, intrigued. "Well, I'm in the same French class as Lila, and she's just up there..." He looks ahead at Lila, walking with Katy and Rachael. I examine his face. I know that look... All of a sudden he looks up at me and sees my expression. I punch him lightly in the arm and tilt my head slightly ahead. He breaks into a grateful smile and raises one eyebrow. "Safe with me. Nice getting run over by you, Juan, but I believe you have somewhere to be at." "Nice running over you, Dawn! We should hang out sometime again." I watch as Juan runs ahead to join his friends and Lila. Well, I know what he's trying tonight!

As I mull over Juila, I almost get trampled by Ms. Kake's art class. FINALLY! Rodney and Rafael walk over to me and we set off. "How was your class?" Asks Rodney, completely oblivious to the adventure that I had. "Hmm..." I tap my chin, pretending to think. "Let's just say it was another-" "CODE DON!!!" Interrupt Rodney and Rafael. What can I say? These have been my friends since middle school started! They know me better than everyone except for Jojo and Juan! Speaking of Jojo... "Hello!" She greets us, popping in out of nowhere like always. We all jump back, pretending to be scared. We've gotten so used to it that it scares no one nowadays, though. "Hey, Joe," Rafael smirks. Yep, he's got a nickname for everyone! Jojo gives him a 5-second stink eye, then turns to me. "How was art? I'm in Kake and she's sooooo sooooo nice! She gave everyone cookies and didn't make us do any work on the first day! We just did get to know you sessions and played truth or dare! At the mention of Truth or Dare, Rafael turns red. Hmmm... interesting. Mental note: interrogate later. "Dawn?" I jump, wondering what happened. "Da-awn?" Oh! I'm still in school! No more daydreaming for now... "Sorry. Just was thinking." Two knowing smiles and one questioning one come into view. Oh, Rafael. We continue to walk to class, completely ignoring what happened. Some things are better forgotten...
