Hannah took in the sight of me with disgust as I dragged myself towards her. “Let me guess,” she said. “Drill Day is also the day that you’re choosing to try out your simpleton look?”

I looked down at my gray sweatpants, black t-shirt, and black shoes with pursed lips. “What? Less is more.”

“Less also means you’re still doing the bare minimum after the whole Devario fiasco, which was weeks ago by the way. I mean, when are you going to get over Aria? You’re wearing it like a break up and you guys never even went out. Ceradi and the others are starting to ask questions.”

“So?” I grunted. “I told Josh yesterday to mind his own fucking business and I’ll tell the same to Ceradi.”

“Okay, sassy,” she replied. “I heard that they went out and it didn’t even go that well.”

That wasn’t what mattered to me. It wasn’t the fact that Aria was willing to go out with Devario that bothered me, it was the fact that she said nothing would ever happen between us.

“Is today really Drill Day?” I asked, desperate to change the subject.

Hannah hooked her arm through mine and started forcing me in the direction of homeroom. “Yes, it’s Drill Day. They announced it like four times yesterday. Where was your head?”

“Halfway up my own ass,” I admitted.

Drill Day was something that happened at our school twice a year—once in the fall and again in the spring—where the school practiced all the possible emergency drills that could happen, from tornado, to fire, to a shooter lockdown. In the past, they tried to do them interspersed with classes, but students got so distracted and excitable waiting for the drills that it made all their classes a crapshoot. My freshman year was the beginning of the new system, Drill Day, when classes were cancelled for the day and students spent the entire day in their homeroom classes. The teachers typically had a place they could send students if they wanted to study or work on homework, but they would also occasionally ask for help doing things around the room or play movies and games.

It was bad news for me because it meant I had to spend the next several hours in the same classroom with Aria, as opposed to a typical day where I’d be able to break it up with the few classes we didn’t have together. If Ceradi and my other friends weren’t around, I would maybe try and use it as an excuse to try and spend a little more time with her, but with all the watchful eyes on me, I’d have to just grin and bear it.

“Good morning,” Coach H greeted as we walked in. “Sit wherever you’d like. We won’t be in our assigned seats for long anyway.”

Ceradi held up a hand and waved us down to the corner of desks they’d seized control of near the window. Hannah and I walked over and sat down and I could see that Aria was sitting with some of her friends near the front of the room.
