At School

“So, when you gonna ask her out? Wait, you do like her, right?” Matt asked his friend, Adrian.

“Nahh, man, I don't like her like THAT,” Adrian replied. They were talking about his sister, Keri. She was the head cheerleader while he was captain of the basketball team. They were meant to be together. But of course, brother and sister couldn't date each other. Well, they could, but that would just be too weird.

“How can you NOT like her? I mean, she's a total hotty,” Matt now said.

“If you like her so much why don't you ask her out?”

“For real?”

“Yeah, I'm cool with it. I told you, I don't like her all that much. Just...as a friend.”

“Ok, man,” Matt said nonchalantly.

This brief conversation took place in the hallway where they stood waiting for 4^th period. Adrian watched as his friend made his way down the hall. Matt stopped and knocked a girl's books down on the ground and kept strolling until he got to Keri's locker. Adrian made eye contact with the girl whose books was dropped. He knew who it was before he looked. It was Joyce, his sister. She leaned down slowly and picked up her books. She pushed her glasses further up her face and walked off to her next class. The bell rang.

Noah looked behind him and noticed his sister, Angela, scraping at her skin with her fingernails. He mouthed the word stop, and she did. At least until he turned around. They were in the computer lab, Noah's favorite place in the school. His friend, Octave, nudged him and pointed to a video he was watching. On the screen was a man talking about the newest iPad.

Noah took one of the earplugs that was occupied by Noah and put it in his own ear. “Awesome!” he exclaimed when the video reached the end.

“Mr Lane Mr Jones, I do believe that you all was requested to work on your reports, not gallivanting,” the computer lab's teacher, Mr Rogers, said.

“Oh, yes sir,” Octave said as Noah took out the ear plug and turned back to his own computer. He looked behind him, on the other side of the room, and saw Angela holding back a laugh. 'That was rare', he thought. Angela didn't laugh very much.
