Bonus Chapter

Nicole and I sat at our table in the cafeteria. I hadn't taken my lunch out of my bag yet, we were busy discussing our mornings and Nicole had gone on a tangent about explaining how something works in math? I don't really understand it but I'm glad she's getting more comfortable. I still had the question from when we arrived stuck in my head, I was waiting for the perfect time to ask her. When she took a break to catch her breath I decided that was right time.

"Hey Nicole?"

She looked over to me, not out of breath anymore "yeah?" She replied. "Why weren't you so out of breath after we finished running to school? Did you used to be apart of a track team?" I asked. Nicole chuckled "nah, I'm just used to running to school in the mornings. But I did also take soccer up until highschool, I was the fastest on my team probably gotten slower over time though" she answered, slightly smiling at the memory. "You should join the team this year, you seem to be very good at it" I say with a wide smile, "I don't know" she responds sounding uncertain. "You'd be great! At least consider the idea" I reassured, she nodded as a reply. I pulled out my lunch having a ham and cheese sandwich, a bowl of fruit and brownies this time. "Are you going to force me to eat half of your food today?" Nicole asked bluntly. I smiled mischievously

"nah, I won't"

She sighed in relief. "Check your backpack" I answer, calmly. Nicole looked confused but rummage through her backpack anyways pulling out a small bag, getting even more confused glancing up at me. "How did this get here? I didn't pack myself a lunch!" She said raising her voice slightly. "The power of mama Denise Madison" I responded.
