I looked over at Brayden. He seems to be doing fine. His face was neutral and his pen moved swiftly, not stopping once to think.

"You said you had a project," Mom scolded me.I pursed my lips. "Uh... I got sleepy and slept at his— her. Her house."Mom sent me a couple of suspicious glances before sighing. "Alright. I'm trusting you on this one, Chloe."
"And twelve. I am a very fun person." Carter said, looking straight into Brayden's eyes. Brayden raised one of his eyebrows. "Thirteen. You'll love me. And fourteen-""Yeah, okay." I cut Carter. "We don't need a hundred reasons as to why you should be friends with us."

"Asia, huh... that's far." Mom sighed, wiping the dishes dry. "So are you going to visit him or..?""I don't know." I replied. "I really don't. My final exams are next month and I'm already stressing over college. What the heck."Mom was quiet and
"Brayden!" My mom knocked on my door a couple of times. "I know you're awake, you know.""Yeah? What?" I finally replied her. "I'm busy.""There's a letter for you."
"So remember, pop quiz tomorrow." My teacher says. "Study well, okay?"The lesson ended just as the bell rang."I am so going to fail that chemistry test." I sighed. "It doesn't take a genius to know that."
