Chapter

I woke up to my annoying alarm at 5 in the morning. I slowly got out of bed to turn off my alarm. After my morning routine I packed a bag to stay at Remi's after school.

I walked down to the kitchen to get breakfast and saw a note on the table.

Dear Amber.

Yes you can go to Remi's for the week. Remi called in advance and let me know what's going on. Have fun!

Luv, Mom

After I read that note I started jumping up and down all excited. Maybe deep down they really do care.

I grabbed an apple and headed out the door for the bus with BTS Stay Gold playing. The bus came once the song ended and I got on and fell asleep.

When I woke up we were at the high school. I stood waiting for Remi where I always do. Its been a couple minutes then they showed up happy as could be.

"What are you happy about?" They just looked at me with a smile.

"Oh nothing but I just bought BMC full musical on Amazon just for us tonight! "

"What! I've only ever seen the animation version. I'm so pumped." I get to watch BMC with Remi all night.

Ring ring ring.

Damn the bell rang. I dashed into the school for first period. Same as yesterday everything was a drag. Homework here and homework there all stupid shit we dont need. During the beginning of the day people give me glares. If looks could kill I'd be dead. I wonder what kind of shit Lilly and Brandon spread around school?

Finally the lunch bell rang and I darted to my locker this time looking out for and sign of Lilly or Brandon. The coast was clear so I was able to get my things for the rest of the day. I turned the corner and Remi was at my locker.

"Remi what are you doing here? I can walk to lunch so what's up" I asked. "Nothing's wrong I just wanted to make shure you would be ok this time. Now let's head to lunch."

And with that we were looking for a place to sit with our lunch trays in our hands. After about 5 minutes we found a lonely table to sit at and enjoy our lunch.

"So what do we have planned for this week of peace from humanity" I stated eagerly on the verge of laughter.

"Well as you know our ritual is first on the list but then I have a surprise all lined up just for us" with that I broke out in laughter.

"Wait what, wait a minute what are you talking about" I asked still in the middle of laughing. I'm still confused why would they go out of their way for me. Am I that special to them. I'll have to wait and see.

"Its a surprise silly. You'll have to wait and see later this week."

With that we finished our lunch and waited for the bell to ring. Now I'm off to sixth period the one class I hate. Its not because of the subject because I like science but because of who's in that class. Lilly. I have had a good day today and dont need her ruining my plans.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen settle down. I have good news for some of you. We will be starting a project today and you will work in groups in three. I know you are thinking why are you getting a project on the second day of school but it's not that hard. All you have to do is research a section of the city parks. This is to get to know your peers and learn about nature, a win win in my book. It will be due next Friday. Which means you will have a week to complete this assignment.

With that statement she got most of the class to groan. Why does she have to add this stress on my perfect week. I dont want to work with anyone but Remi. At least they are in my class but the chance that Mrs. Hysmen pairing us together is quite slim. Damn it.

"Oh I forgot to mention, I chose the partners for this assignment. In a minute I will tell you who your paired with and what park you get to research."

Even more growns broke out of the class with what just was said.

"Tristan wemer, Austin Valkinburg, and Shyanne Semor. You got the Cantwell Cliffs.....Amber Morgan. Remi Cleveland and Lilly Thompson. You guys have Old Mans Cave...."

Shit! That done it. Now I'm ruined. Why out of all the people that could have been paired up with me she is the one. I would have taken anybody else.

"Mrs.Hysman why did you pair me up with her. I despise her. Is there anybody else that I can be paired with. My reputation is at stake. I cant possibility be seen with that" was yelled across the room from none other than Lilly. Now this is going to be interesting.

"Lilly that was very rude apologies now. Anyway class without that rude comment you may get with your group and plan your research dates after school. That will be all."
