That day, Anna and I were sent to the principal's office, but only after Anna came back from the nurse. The principal was screaming at us saying it was no way of behaving yada yada yada...
In a nutshell, Anna got suspended for starting the fight. I was sent home that same day. Nothing happened after that, but every time Anna looked at me she'd walk somewhere else and avoid me.
When I got home that day, I thought I was going to get into so much trouble. My parents always told my sisters and I to always defend ourselves and that day, I did.

Shawn and I were walking home when his phone went off. He took his phone out of his pocket and clicked the green button.
"Hello!" He paused and listened. It was a woman's voice. Sounds like his mom. "Yes, we're walking home now. Why?" he said and looked at me. I shrugged.
"Oh, okay then. I'll be there in about 2 minutes." he muttered into the phone, said bye, then hung up.
"Who was it?" I asked.
"It was my mom. Someone by the name of Bart called her."
"What does he want?"
"I don't know. All she said is that it was really important, and that I should get there quickly."
"Well, we're here. So tell me what that Bart guy says." I said as I started to grab my keys from my bag.
"Alright." he also grabbed his keys and opened his door. I opened my door and closed it behind me. I locked it again and turned around to my sister and Aaliyah sitting on the couch watching Zoey 101.
"Hey guys." I said to them as I was passing through the living room heading to the kitchen.
"Hey." "Wassup." I heard as I opened the fridge and grabbed a water bottle, then I looked in the pantry and saw strawberry pop-tarts. Fuck yeah.
"What have you girls been doing?" I said as I sat on the couch and pulled my phone out of my butt pocket.
"Not much. We've been watching TV. That's about it." Delilah said. Del and Aaliyah were both the same age and they go to the same school. They've known each other almost their whole lives. They're still best friends 'till this day.
"Cool beans. Have you guys eaten yet?" I asked as I opened my pop tarts and bit into one.
"Nope. We just got here like 10 minutes before you did." Aaliyah said and turned to me.
"Oh. Do you guys want me to make mac and cheese?" I asked standing up, grabbing my pop tarts and heading towards the kitchen again.
"Yes!" they yelled at the same time.
"Okay!" I laughed as I opened the pantry and grabbed two boxes of mac and cheese, or 'Kraft Dinner'. Whatever you want to call it. I'm American, so its Mac and Cheese.
I was done making the pasta when I could hear the sound of knocking, then the front door unlocking and opening.
"Sup ladies." I heard. It sounded like Shawn.
"Hey." I heard the girls respond.
"Del who is it?" I yelled while I was dumping the water I didn't need in the sink.
"Me!" the voice said. Yup, its Shawn.
"What do you want?" I screamed as I put the pasta in a strainer and put the pot on the stove again.
"Don't you want to know who Bart is?" He said as he came into the kitchen and opened the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. He then came and stood next to me and stole half of my pop tart. I just looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Yes. And do you come here just to steal our food?" I joked as I went around him, grabbed the butter and milk from the fridge and walked back to the stove.
"I do not! And I wanted you to be the first to know! What are you making?" He asked as he looked in the sink.
"Mac and cheese. Want some?" I asked as I mixed the two together. He jumped and sat on the counter and swallowed the pop tart. I turned around and looked at him.
"Do you even have to ask?" He looked at me and smiled.
"I guess not." I laughed.
"So, who's Bart?" I said as I started to put the pasta into the pot.
"Ever heard of Magcon?" I heard behind me.
"Nope." I said as I started to mix everything together. He then started to explain what Magcon was, how it worked, and what he had to do. By the time he finished explaining I was putting the food onto four plates and called for Del and Aaliyah to the kitchen to grab their food.
"So, its basically a convention and meet and greet for all of those Viners?" I asked as I was getting the Kool aid from the fridge.
"Yup." He jumped off the counter and grabbed 4 cups from the cabinet above him.
"Are you gonna do it?" I asked and looked at him.
"I think so. I mean, its a great way to meet the fans, and I can finally get out of Canada. Even if its for a little while." he said and shrugged.
"I think you should do it. It'll give you the growth of your music you wanted, right?" I grabbed two cups and took them to Aaliyah and Del in the living room. They were sitting on the floor with their plates on the coffee table watching Drake and Josh now.
I went back to the kitchen where Shawn was already eating his food.
"Lets go to my room." I said and grabbed my cup of cherry kool aid, and my plate full of mac and cheese. He nodded and grabbed the same thing and we started heading to my room upstairs.
I sat on the floor while Shawn sat at the desk. I grabbed my laptop and turned it on.
"What are you doing?" Shawn asked as he brought his food and sat down next to me on the floor.
I replied with "Magcon." He nodded and started to stuff his face with his food again.
I went to Google and looked at their website.
"Damn." I said as I saw all the guys that were in this Magcon. They were all good looking. I only knew Matt, Nash, and Cameron. I wasn't that into Vine guys and more just comedy, so I only knew these guys 'cause Shawn showed me their vines when he found them funny.
"I only know 3 out of 8 guys." I said. I went to the website and saw that every ones names were there. I read them off.
"All the people that are in Magcon are Cameron Dallas, Taylor Caniff, Nash Grier, Matthew Espinosa, Carter Reynolds, Jack Johnson, Jack Gilinsky, and Aaron Carpenter." Damn, that's a lot of people.
"Oh, and they just added someone. And its a girl. Her name is Mahogany LOX. Thank god its not just guys." I said and laughed.
"Let me see." Shawn said and took the laptop from my lap and he started to scroll down. I just got up, grabbed my food from the desk next to my bed, and sat down next to Shawn again.
"It says here that their next stop is going to be here in Toronto." He said and looked at me. I just looked at him and kept chewing my food.
"So, are you gonna do it?" I asked after I swallowed my food.
"Yeah. I think I'm going to do it." He said and smiled.
"Good. It's a great opportunity to get your name out there. And you can help me meet Nash." I joked and he nudged me.
"I'm kidding! But yeah, it is a chance to spread your angel voice out into the world." I said and he nudged me again.
"What? You do have an angel like voice! If people think you don't have a voice of an angel, I will personally check them into a mental hospital." I said in all seriousness. And he started blushing!
"Oh my god you're blushing!" I gaped.
"Shut up!" he said and got up. I laughed at him.
"Alright, alright. But you should go tell your parents that you want to do it." I said getting the laptop off my lap and standing up too. I grabbed my dishes and went downstairs. Shawn followed.
"You're right. I'll go right after I clean my dishes." I rolled my eyes. He knows he doesn't have to do them, yet he still does. I've commented on it a billion times, yet he never listens.
He washed the dishes and left. After I washed mine, I went back upstairs and went on my laptop. I put Pandora on, Wattpad, and started reading Motel 6 again.
Hours passed and I checked the time next to me on my alarm and saw that it was 8:00 pm. I turned off my laptop and started to do my homework.
Who the hell gives homework on the first day of school? My English and Spanish teacher. That's who.
I put on my glasses and started working on English.
In the middle of doing my Spanish homework where I was doing a practice sheet, I got a text from Shawn saying if I could facetime him. I said yes and called.
"What is so urgent that you had to interrupt me doing my homework?" I joked.
"Oh shut up. You should thank me that you have an excuse to have a break from homework." He rolled his eyes.
"True, now what's up?" I said and moved to my bed from the desk where I was doing my homework.
"Remember Michelle?" he asked.
"Popular Michelle?" I put my iPod screen down onto my bed and started to change. I only ever used my iPod for two reasons: if he wanted to facetime and if I had wifi.
"Yeah. She just texted me." I stopped what I was doing and looked at my iPod, even if he couldn't see me.
"And what did she say...?" I asked. Michelle never bothered me, but she was known for dating around. She was infamous for getting bored of her current boy-toy then finding a new one within the same week. She was real pretty, yet she wasn't very liked. In our freshman year, she went out with a senior. I thought it was gross.
Last year, she never even talked to Shawn, me, or our friends. Why the sudden contact with him?
"Nothing, she just said hi. I don't even know how she got my number." he furrowed his eyebrows and looked somewhere else.
"Did you see her with either Ian, Brian or Matt?" they were all Shawn's friends.
"No, that's what freaks me out. Did you give her my number?" he looked at the camera.
"No. And I don't know who gave it to her either. The only time I saw her today, was when she was surrounded by a bunch of people at lunch, but that's it."
"What do I text back?" he asked me.
"Hold on, I'll be there in a little bit. I'll finish my homework over there." I said and started to gather my things.
"Okay." He said and I hung up. I put some sweats on, grabbed my converse and headed downstairs.
