  &quot;I'm sorry I soaked your shirt.&quot; I said sheepishly pulling back from Ethan and indicating his now wet shirt from my tears. I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes and glanced at the time. I had eight minutes before lunch was up. I had been crying in Ethan's arms for two minutes.
  &quot;It's no problem.&quot; He chuckled. &quot;Are you okay?&quot; He asked after a while.
  I nodded. &quot;Yeah. I guess I am.&quot; We left the bathroom and stood in the hallway. I then looked at him quizzically. &quot;Why did you come after me by the way?&quot;
  He shrugged. &quot;I heard what that girl said to you. I saw you left the cafeteria and I just decided to find you. By the way, your friends were coming after you and I sent them away.&quot;
  &quot;You what? Why did you do that?&quot; I asked shocked.

  &quot;Mom! Can you give me a ride to netball practise today?!&quot; Tamara shouted from the top of the stairs on Saturday morning. I was sitting on the couch in the living room, watching television.
  &quot;I can't today, honey.&quot; Mom answered from her room. &quot;I'm leaving to go out now. Ask your sister.&quot; Tamara skipped down the stairs and came over to me.
  &quot;Can you?&quot; She asked hopefully.
  &quot;Sure. I'm going shopping for my dance outfit today anyways, so I will drop you off on the way.&quot; I answered.
  &quot;Oh good.&quot; She sighed and plopped down on the couch beside me. She took up the remote and change the channel.
  &quot;Hey! I was watching that.&quot; I protested, reaching for the remote.
  Tamara rolled her eyes and handed back the remote. &quot;Fine.&quot; She turned to look at me. &quot;How is practise by the way?&quot; She asked.

  My friends and I decided that we are carpooling today. We decided that they will carpool with me, so I was now driving to Amber's house to pick her up. 
  I was at her house in ten minutes and I honk the horn for her to come. Amber did not exit her house as yet, so I honked again. A few minutes later, Amber came running from her house. She came and sat in the passenger seat of my silver sedan.
  &quot;Geez Amber, what took you so long? You want us to be late?&quot; I scold her accusingly.
  &quot;Calm down. It was only five minutes.&quot; Amber rolled her eyes and I glared at her.
  &quot;Whatever.&quot; I said as I pulled from her house and drove to Dylan's. As soon as we reached Dylan's house, he got in.
  &quot;Hello girls.&quot; He greeted, giving? us a big smile. We greeted him back and I drove to school.
  We reached school and I parked in the parking lot and got out.
