Hailey: The clock seemed like it was going extra slow today probably because it was last class on Friday. *Riiiiiiing *Ahh the bell the best sound after a long week. I always hated math class although I did have it with my best friend Aurora Martin also known as Rori I’ve known her since pre-K. She is the most gorgeous person – Auburn hair with pink streaks and blue eyes - you will see at LCVI unless you count my other best friend Sophie Dandle I guess you can never go wrong with blonde hair and blue eyes. Me? Im Hailey McDonald the plain Jane in our group of friends Black hair with some green thrown in Im also the only one with green eyes. We are also the only girls who don’t freak out about the boy band who goes to our school. Meet the Jonas Brothers three self acclaimed artists who are taking the music world by storm. The last three members in our group of friends, Kevin is the oldest followed by Joseph and then Nicholas. We have been best friends since well forever.

“I hate math” Rori sighed as she opened her locker. “Gahh me too Im beginning to think the teacher hates us” Said Hailey “Ladies” “Oh hey Kev didn’t see you there” Rori Replied “Gee thanks” He said with just a hint of sarcasm. Hailey grabbed her stuff and shoved it into her bag and slung it over her shoulder. “You guys want a ride today?” Kevin asked “Sure!” Rori said much too fast which gave her too confused looks “ummm ok then let me grab Nick and Joe” Kevin hurried away. “Well that went extremely bad” Sighed Rori, Hailey started to laugh

“Hey it’s not funny!” Rori replied after slapping Hailey on the arm “Sorry Sorry” Hailey said between muffled giggles “I just can’t believe you still haven’t told him that you like him after what? 6 years!?” Hailey said as they stared walking “It’s harder then you think! It’s not like you have a crush on him” Rori exclaimed. At this time a New Jeep Commander with black on black interior pulled up “here’s our ride” Said Hailey as she jumped in.

Aurora: Okay so I’ve had a crush on Joseph for like the longest time but it’s not like I could tell him I would just be another fan girl that’s obsessed with him! I would not like that. I also know that Hails is like in LOVE with Kevin even if she won’t tell you, personally I think that they would make a very cute couple. Nicholas on the other hand is already going out with Sophie which means she is one of the most hated girls at our school. She gets used to it and Nick is always standing up for her so it’s all good.

“Thanks for the ride guys see you tomorrow” Called Hailey as the Jeep drove away. “Well that was awkward” stated Rori after they got into Hailey’s house “It wasn’t awkward until you said it was then the whole car just got quite so yeah it was pretty awkward” Hailey said “you know what? Shut up” Rori sighed, Hailey laughed. “Whatever it’s not like it hasn’t happened before” Hailey said “yeah I guess” Rori sighed. “Hey do you think he’s on MSN!?” She asked excited “Rori they just dropped us off! There probably still driving home” Said Hailey *Bing* Joseph’s IM popped up “HA! Told you” cried Rori as she jumped onto the computer “wow Kevin must drive VERY fast” Hailey said as she sat down next to Rori as she started talk to Joe.

JoeJo: hey!

xRorix: Hey there what’s up?

JoeJo: Not much just got home you?

xRorix: Same, you got home pretty quick huh?

JoeJo: Yeah Kevin’s a pretty crazy driver

xRorix: LOL

JoeJo: I’d love to talk but I’ve got loads of homework see you later

xRorix: okay Bye

JoeJo is now offline  

“He is so perfect” Rori announced after Joe logged off “wow…” Hailey just stared at her friend and started laughing hysterically “stop it it’s not funny” cried Rori and pushed Hailey off her chair “hey that wasn’t cool!” said Hailey after she stood up “yeah well neither are you” said Rori.

Hailey: Okay so as you can see my and Rori are pretty close always bugging each other but there is one thing I haven’t told ANYONE not even Rori. I can tell you only if you swear not to tell anyone not even Rori...I kinda have this HUGH crush on Kevin I’ve liked him since grade 6. I don’t know it just something about him that makes me melt…*sigh* but anyway enough about him. I want to tell you more about Sophie, as you know she Nick’s girlfriend she’s also caption of the literacy program at our school which is how they met. There such a cute couple…sometimes too cute but no matter they still hangout 24/7. Mostly doing 15 yr old stuff. As you know Sophie isn’t the most popular girl in LC hated by most envied by all under 17 but there is one girl in particular-Merissa- that “picks” on us if you want to call it that we all think that she’s just jealous about our relationships with the guys.

“Hey Soph what class do you have?” Hailey asked “Science, what about you?” Sophie asked “Same I’ll walk with you” “sounds great!” On the way there Merissa and her posse was blocking the hallway with her to big hair and too tight clothes “Oh my what are you wearing today Hailey?” Merissa laughed “ughh” Hailey sighed as she walked past “That’s what I thought” Merissa yelled down the hall followed by a bust of laughter “ignore them” Soph said as they continued walking the hallway to “yeah I guess” Hailey said as they walked into the classroom.

*~*~*

After science Hailey, Sophie and Aurora all sat at their usual table in the lunch room. As soon as the whispers started you knew that they were in the room, “I don’t understand why people can’t get over them selves, I mean they see the guys everyday!” sighed Rori “yeah mhmm okay” Hailey mumbled as she aimlessly picked at her food “uh Hails you okay?” Sophie asked concerned “uh yeah sure I’ll be right back okay?” asked Hailey still distracted “um sure Hails” Rori gave Sophie a weird look and Hailey walked away. “Where’s she going” asked Kevin as he sat down “I have no clue she acting kind of weird” sighed Rori “you mean weirder then usual?” asked Joe. Rori slapped him “ouch I was just kidding calm down” He said rubbing his arm “im worried about her she been acting like this a lot lately” Said Sophie as she took a bite of her apple. 

*~*~*

Meanwhile Hailey went into the bathroom and sat down in a stall and closed it quietly. She took out the syringe and filled it with liquid; she closed her eyes and braced herself for another pinch at her skin. After she packed everything up and walked out of the bathroom. Hailey walked out into the cool air and went and sat their favorite tree and waited for him.

*~*~*

Nicholas and his brothers ate their lunch quietly with the girls speaking only when necessary all of them thinking about Hailey. Only one of them knowing what was wrong. Being sworn to secrecy was always harder than it looked but this guy made it look easy. Fifteen minutes into lunch Nick excused himself from the table and made his way the men’s washroom. He sat down at a stall and reached into his bag for his needle after being diabetic for two years you get used to needles. Afterwards Nicholas grabbed his stuff and headed outside for a breath of fresh air.

*~*~*

Hailey: When I was sixteen years old I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. That was after being misdiagnosed three times, because I was older then most people who have type 1 the doctors didn’t think that was it.
