Jeff, Monty, Winston, and I walk into the outhouse and my eyes fall on Jess, Tony, Charlie, Alex, Ani, and Clay standing under a banner that says 'WELCOME HOME JUSTIN! We missed you!'
"You're late." Jess says
"Sorry, I had to stop and get the cake that someone forgot to get." I say as I set the cake down on the table before we hear a car pull into the driveway
"He's here! Everyone under the damn banner. Come on!" Jess demands before we all walk over and stand under the banner
"Welcome home!" We all shout as the door opens before my eyes fall on Zach
"Ah, I'm home!" Zach shouts as he walks over to us
"Nah, I'm just kidding. It's for Justin, I know. I know." Zach says
"You're late." Jess says as the smell of him wafts into my nose
"I know." Zach says
"Are you drunk?" I ask
"I, uh...may have pregamed. Yes." Zach says
"Oh, my God. What the fuck is wrong with you? This is a dry party for a sober person. Hey, get some mouthwash or something. Come on." Jess says as she shoves him towards the bathroom
"Oh, cookies!" Zach says excitedly as he grabs a cookie
"Chili powder, secret ingredient." Charlie says
"Oh, so fucking good." Zach says with a mouthful before the door opens once again
"We're here!" Mrs. Jensen calls out
"Yeah!" Zach shouts as we all clap our hands
"Welcome home!" Jeff shouts from beside me before I see Mr. Jensen carrying a bunch of pizza boxes before he sets them down on the table beside the cake
"Hope you kids brought your appetites. Dig in!" Mr. Jensen exclaims before I lock eyes with Justin and tears form in mine
"Don't start, M." He says with a smile as he walks over to me before engulfing me in a warm hug
*2 Hours Later*
"Winston has an announcement, you guys!" I call out before everyone quiets down
"Uh, as everyone knows I was expelled from Hillcrest. So that means I am transferring to Liberty." Winston says
"Whoo!" We all cheer
-2 Weeks Later-
"What the hell?" Jess asks as our eyes fall on everyone waiting to get in the school in a line
Jess, Justin, Ani, Clay, Jeff, Monty, Winston, and I get in line
*3 Minutes Later*
"What the fuck?" I ask as my eyes fall on metal detectors
Justin goes through them, then Clay, then Winston, then Monty, then Jeff
I put my backpack in a bin before walking through only for it to beep before the SRO waves the wand in front of my chest and it beeps
"Please step aside for a screening." The SRO says
"It's probably the metal wire in my bra." I say
"We'll see. Step aside for a pat down." The SRO says
"I sure as shit hope you have a female officer to do it, cause you and your boys aren't putting that anywhere near her body." Jess says from behind me
"Young lady. Step. Aside. Now." The SRO says causing a smirk to form on my face as I grab my backpack from the bin
"Go fuck yourself." I say before walking away from him and Jess follows me
"Hey! Get back here!" The SRO says but I just keep walking and I hold my middle finger up to him
"I'll handle, Bolan." Jess says as the officer grabs me
"Don't fucking put your hands on me!" I shout as I jerk from his grasp
"I know how to fucking walk!" I seethe
-Later That Afternoon-
"I actually just joined yearbook right before Christmas break." I say to Winston
"Do you like it?" Winston asks
"I like taking pictures." I say with a small smile
"Um, okay, so basically the darkroom is first come, first served. Unless you're on a deadline and then you get priority." I say
"These are really good." Winston says as he points at the pictures I took of our friend group
"You take these?" He asks
"I did." I say
"Do you have a copy of this one?" He asks as he points to the one of him and Monty
