Lucie brought Will to school a week after Sage moved back in with the Odeons. Will sat in the same cafeteria he did last year. He waiting for the arrival of his friends, but only saw Taff walk in with a girl who looked like him. “Hey, Will,” he greeted. Will looked at Taff and said, “Hi, who’s your friend?” “My sister, Dana,” he introduced. “Dana, this is my classmate, Will.” She waved shyly. “Buddy is here,” Will announced as more people started to come in, including the Odeon twins. Buddy sat next to his best friend as always, while Sage sat next to his brother. Will n

“Kyle! Kyle! Are you sure this isn’t a false alarm?” Will panicked. “False alarm? Mom is having contractions right now,” he alerted. Emma scratched her head. “I read online that the baby comes out of what is called a vagina.” Kyle choked, almost wrecking the car as Will guarded his sister. “Okay, I think someone needs to monitor what you’re looking up,” Kyle managed to speak after focusing back on the road. Will leaned back in his seat and looked out his window to view the grey sky. “But it’s too early.” “I know it is, but there is something that the doc

Will stared at the email on his computer screen. He still couldn’t believe that Angel got a boyfriend, and it wasn’t him. “Come on, Will. You can get over it,” he whispered to himself. Will’s phone buzzed. A picture of Sabrina eating a cheeseburger and looking at Will with an angry face appeared on the screen. He answered it steadily. “Hello?” he answered. “I don’t know if I should date Dale,” Sabrina worried. “There’s nothing wrong with it. You’re both in high –” “No,” Sabrina interrupted. “Dale dropped out.” Will sucked i

Dale was driving Will and Buddy to the school dance a few weeks later. He had agreed to drive them because he wanted to show off his new car. Will and Buddy were watching Impractical Jokers on the built in TV. “This show is hilarious. Do you like it, Dale?” Will asked. “I don’t really watch that much TV, dude,” Dale answered. “Aren’t you meeting Sabrina at the dance?” Buddy asked. When he found out that Dale and Sabrina were going together, he almost burst into flames. He claimed that Sabrina really did like his brother, and she was only lying to him. “Yeah, man,” Dale answe

The day after winter break, Will and Buddy watched two senior guys staple a flyer to the school’s news board. The seniors turned around and looked at them. “Whoa, there’s a Valentine’s dance this early?” Buddy read off the flyer. “I’m just wondering why they use staples instead of pushpins,” Will said. “The school is planning really early to prevent the disaster that happened last year,” one of the seniors explained, and the two left. Jack arrived and read the flyer. “Ooh, Valentine’s dance, huh?” Jack looked at Buddy and Will. “Next month. Who are you g

  “Who are the two boyfriends that you have?” Benny demanded. “Fine, you have me. Ricky Kinsley and Nathan Arnold, is that what you wanted?” Lucie confessed. “Why are you cheating on me?” Benny asked. “I just didn’t feel any love, so I tried meeting new people, but I wasn’t ready to love only one person,” Lucie said. “So, cheating was the best answer? You illegal, cheating –” Will covered Emma’s ears so she couldn’t hear what their dad was saying. “Don’t call me that!” Lucie lectured. “If you didn’t feel lik

Received at 3:12 pm, Willingston, Texas From: Angel Tarango Your parent should remain careful with her actions. You do make a good tutor for Shadow.     Did everything work out well for Shadow? Or is everything still a mess? Sent at 8:12 am, Auckland, New Zealand Shadow snuck in his history class during lunch. His teacher wasn’t there, so he took the chance to hack into her computer. He used her password to get into her grade book. They had already taken the test yesterday, so Shadow assumed that she had already graded them. “Shadow Ryan,” he read off the screen. “57?!” He quickly covered his m

Received at 9:34 am, Auckland, New Zealand From: Will Matthews   The first few weeks of school weren’t that bad. It’s already October and nothing interesting has really happened lately. The only thing that has really happened is that math test I passed.   Shadow has been having trouble with his history class. I would offer to help him since I am an excellent historian, but working with Shadow can be a pain.   Sent at 4:34 pm, Willingston, Texas To: Angel Tarango     “Come on, Shadow. Just let me help you with history,” Will offered at breakfast. “I am one of Mrs. Chester’
