"Hey hey." Clover said coming up to me, opening her locker. She seemed awfully happy today. I looked at her with my eye brow raised.

"What's up with the happy happy?" she giggled, then turned me. Clover had elbow length hair. With were wavy locks of dirty blonde. She had freckles that go over her nose bridge. And I was only a few inches taller than her 5'4 in a half. I was only like, 5'7. Yeah, people here around the rez, they were always so tall.

"Well, Lorelei called me, and told that Andy wouldn't stop talking about me. I guess I'm just a little giddy about it." I couldn't help chuckle.

"Giddy?" Clover wasn't emo; it was just that, she wasn't this type of person to say this type of stuff. She rolled her eyes at me and started to resume getting her stuff out of her locker. But that was after she saw Seth.

"Your crush 8 o'clock." Yeah I did have a crush on Seth Clearwater. But I wasn't the type of girl who would get nervous and chicken out by talking to their crush. Just then Seth walked by opening his locker, which was right next to mine.

"Hey Kaykay. How ya doooinn'?" I couldn't help smile.

"Average I guess." I said leaning on my locker, so that my back was against it. Seth didn't face me since he was still getting his stuff but replied.

"Why? You glum?" he had a hint of a grin on his face. This was a usual thing with us. He would always fool around. Seth had a type of a skate boarder hair cut. It was layer, and spiky at the ends. Sometimes I would play with his hair. Even sometimes he would say that it even tickled. Seth was growing fast for his age right now. We used to be around the same height now he was like 5'8. Plus he was starting to get muscles involuntarily.

"No. I'm just not jumpy happy, but not teary sad." I said shrugging my shoulders, and flashing him a smile. He looked at me with his side sight, and gave me his best smile. I loved his chocolate brown eyes that always held kindness and sincerity. Seth was just about to say something, but then Lorelei popped out of nowhere.

"So what you guys talking about?" she said rocking back and forth on her heels. She always wanted to set people up with each other. Seth and me both looked at each other. Somehow we always knew what the other was thinking.

"Nothing." We both said simmoetaniestly. Lorelei slumped down, sad that she didn't get a real answer, and looked at the ground.

"Fine." She mumbled, then walked away. Lorelei was about the same height as Clover. And same hair color too, but up to her shoulders. She always had the best imagination out of all of us. One of best abilities.

"So, study at my house tonight?" Seth said closing his locker. Then leaning on it so he was facing me. He looked do cute like that. Wait he always looked cute.

"Yeah sure. I woke up, and found Paul passed out on the couch. He'll probably still be there, when we get there." Paul was my older brother. Hence on the was. He used to be the protective brother. The one to say I love you, and goodnight. Now he was the guy that would never be home at all, just sometimes, and barely talk to you. Sure he didn't have the best grades, but my Dad always expected too much of him.

Always saying, 'you should do something better with your life,' or, 'get better grades or you're never going to have a future'. I hated it too. One day they got in a pretty bad fight. And Paul didn't come home for a few days. I of course was really worried, but Dad being Dad didn't care. Our mom died in a car crash, that's what broke Dad. He turned into a drink addict. Paul or me couldn't stop him. Then everything went downhill from there. Neither Paul nor me were ever loved by our parents. We learned how to do everything on our own.

Not long after the fight, Dad decided to go to the bar. The result. He didn't come back. Soon we found out he died drunk driving. That's not a surprise. Paul being 18 by then was given custody of me. You already know how that turned out.

"Oh, okay." Seth said knowing what I meant, and how I felt. He, Clover, Lorelei and Andy are the only ones that know any of the details. Seth wasn't one of my best friends. I mean he was so out of my league. Plus he has other friends. He was so laid back and so fun to hang out with. Then the bell rang. "Come on I'll walk you."

I scoffed. "Seth, we have almost the same exact classes together." He grinned at me.

"I know. I'm just cool like that." I started to mimic him, imitating a guy voice. He gave me a friendly shove softly, but he was laughing too. By the time we got to class, Lorelei and Clover were already there. 'Where's Andy?' was what I thought. I scanned the room, but didn't see him. Oh well. It was natural for him not to be here. He was sometimes late, or won't even come to school at all.

Ms. Andrews started the class. Seth, who sat to my right, sneakily passed me a note.

So bored. Wanna leave so bad. –Seth

I looked over at Seth. But he just acted like nothing happened.

Yeah, me too. But this is last period. We could leave after right… no dur! –Kay

I passed him the note, and pretended to be writing notes. Then the 'note' flopped onto my desk.

Lol, yeah. What do we do, 'till then? –Seth

I quickly scribbled on the piece of paper.

This? And that's what we did. We passed noted throughout last period. Clover and Lorelei were already knocked out on their desk. The bell was the only thing that bothered to wake them up. Everyone scurried out of the room, before the teacher could even assign homework. Oh, well. It's better that way. One of Seth's friends came up to him, and started to talk to him, while I talked to Lorelei and clover.

"So, did he asked you out?" Lorelei asked excitedly. She always wanted Seth and me to get together, but like I said, he is so out of my league. I shook my head no, while rolling my eyes. Clover chuckled beside, at the face Lorelei gave.

"But you guys are so close." She whined, and stomped her foot.

"We talked about this, remember?" then I opened my locker. I must have put my books in wrong, since almost everything feel out. But Seth was there, to stop the avalanche.

"What would you ever do without me?" he said putting them into place.

"Be happier." I said mockingly. He rolled his eyes with a grin on his face. We both chuckled.

"so any improvement with him?" I already knew who was 'him'. We were already walking towards his house, and we were making small talk.

"No." I sighed. ' I don't think there will ever be." I said sounding depressed. I really missed my brother. Paul was there. But he wasn't my brother anymore.
