One of the other AP girls set over your fear," she sneered and Proctor looked over at her
"That’s very unhelpful Madison Considering you’ve been in realm what, twice?" he placed his hands on his skinny hips and stared at her until her eyes dropped
He turned away to the white board and Madison gave Sophie a look like, wihest level in the class besides Amanda so that lame bitch could just bite her in the ass
Dead center
And she wore stupid clothes too, fashion challenged Sophie grinned back at her and Madison’s smile faded Girls were bitches

Jonesy walked by the AP class after prolihes

She was sandpaper on a wound

I stared in disbelief at the auto-pulse that we’d all received in our readers John and I looked at each other, then bent over the coh, Adht affirmation required-
Freshman will assemble after their lunch hour for their depressant inoculation, followed by each subsequent lunch block until the last with our graduating seniors

Booster inoculations will be given annually
Chen, Claudia, KPH acting principal
We all thumbed our readers:

"Parents are freaks about sanctioned crap, right?" Tiff asked, a bubble bursting Jade juhed
He nodded "Yeah, I have a Philosophical Exeer at Alex "Thatthis shit and we’re not gonna dance’?’"
Alex nodded

Tiff rolled her eyes "My parents wouldn’t look at this crap if soetting the depressant?" I asked, not being able to believe having parents that didn’t get in to all the shit personally
She shrugged "They’re busy They got all us kids and a ton of work to just live Me getting a depressant inoculation so I don’t have a ’death vibe’ or soht won’tat the edge of a table in the coe

Without skipping a beat, Mia said, "Yeah I think"
"Huh," she said, eying him up "Too bad, you were kinda cute"
Jonesy’s irl charged on her like flies to ave Christi a run for her money Different lookin’, smaller but just as hot

Alex looked at Mia and said, "Nice, Mia You could have totally saved that for me"
"No," she shook her hair and the honeyed strands slipped all over her shoulders "It was too precious for words Besides, you sit there and talk about asses, blow up dolls " she looked at him
The rest of us did too

Jonesy said, "Yeah, a whole week Great restraint, Alex"
