As we were piling into two separate cars, I sat in Molly's BMW and squirmed when she came all close to me, her boobs in my face and everything. When I realised she was hugging me, I kinda just sat there all rigid and still squirming. I didn't mind hugs but a hug from Molly is just... Icky.

"Uh, can I help you?" I asked.

"Well, when people are going through a tough time like you, they need hugs so I'm giving you one." She shrugged.

I didn't say anything because it was getting weird and awkward so instead, I opted for pressing on the button that turns on the radio. Some Ed Sheeran song started playing and Molly jumped giddily in her seat.

"This song is good." She practically screamed.

"Yeah, cool, I'm just going to change it now..." I was about to change the station but she slapped my hand away and gave me a death glare.

Seriously, what is it with women and glares!

Whatever it was, I don't think I wanted to receive another.

"Oh, here you go by the way." She reached in the glove compartment and put something in my hand, it was my bracelet.

"I don't want it." I sighed and started opening up the window. This stupid cursed bracelet is going to leave me forever.

I was about to throw it out the window with my amazing throwing skills from basketball when Molly poked my waist and made me squeal in surprise.

"I don't want it!" I squealed even more and tried to throw it out the window again.

"Keep it!" She told me and closed the window from her door which had all the buttons for all the windows in the car. She put it on child lock and I frowned.

"But come on!" I groaned and spun it around on my fingers.

"I'm just going to take that away from you before you accidentally-on-purpose drop it down a drain." She snatched the thing off me and put it in the small compartment on her door.

"Yeah right..." I rolled my eyes. Dammit, she found out my plan B. Time for plan C, it involves a toilet and a flush.

"Zach, stop being annoying. You'll thank me later." She muttered and then stepped hard on the brake when a car coming from her left went round a roundabout when he wasn't supposed to.

Knowing what was about to come, I shrunk in my seat and covered my ears. All I could hear was muffled noise and then Molly sticking her middle finger up at the stupid driver. I could faintly make up swear words from lip reading and the muffled words and I didn't really want to think about what she was saying.

She slapped my hand, "didn't you see what he did? Stupid fu-"

"Chill the hell out otherwise we'd have an accident okay?"

"But-"

"Stop."

She rolled her eyes and waved off the issue and continued driving. We finally arrived at the sushi place and I could literally see that Molly was bouncing like a five year old on the inside by the massive grin plastered on her lips.

We both hopped outside the car and I could see that Molly stuffed the bracelet in the glove compartment again and locked it. She actually locked it.

I glared at her but my glare was probably really sucky compared to the ones she gives me. Mum and Dad stood by the entrance impatiently, tapping their foot and looking at their watch. Dad didn't look too happy being away from work, he was dressed smartly in a suit and tie because he didn't change his clothes after work.

"Sushi!" Molly squealed and hurried inside.

We were met by a man in his early twenties. He wasn't all that bad looking and I could see was checking Molly out, too bad she doesn't bat for that team.

"I'm David." He greeted, "table for four?"

She nodded and he took us to our table. The restaurant was Japanese themed and even had a nice, small waterfall in the middle. The restaurant was dark and there were only very small fairy lights and lanterns lighting up the restaurant, it was relaxing but with the soft sound of the trickling water and the simplistic music, It was enough to help me fall asleep.

We sat down near the back and Molly looked liked like she was physically unable to frown. I just shook my head and looked at the menu In front of me.

David came by a few minutes later with a notebook in his hand and a pencil on his ear. "Ready to order then?"

"I'll have a peach iced tea, please." Mum said politely.

"Me too." I said in unison with Molly.

"And for you sir?" David asked. Dad just ordered a coke and then we ordered our food, which consisted of loads and loads of avocado sushi rolls and sticky rice and Thai green curry.

David went away but not without sending Molly and wink. I started snickering and Molly just buried her head in her hands.

"He was all over you." I smirked, "shame you don't bat for the other team."

She looked up, "it's not my fault I'm just oh so irresistible." She said looking at her perfectly manicured nails.

Our drinks arrived and I literally gulped it all down in one go, God, I loved peach ice tea. I left my glass at the edge of the table so the waiter would take it and get me a refill.

Molly was sipping on her ice tea through a straw and was texting on her phone with a small smile on her face. I too my own phone out and finally decided it was a good time to check my messages:

: wag1 homie, there's some serious shit going on w/ flynn n Liam.. Where u at bruh?

: I'm scared. You brother's giving me death glares..

And then there was a small scared emoticon and a curious one.

: I take you haven't told your so called best friend to stay the hell away. The kid is on my tail and expects us to become instant friends after all he's done.

Then there were a few texts from girls that were worried about where I was and if I'm feeling okay. They all sounded about the same and they all had a unanimous amount of X's and O's and hearts and/or hearty eyes emoticons at the end.

So they were more like this:

///: Hey! Where are you? I haven't seen you at school. Is everything okay? Do you want me to come over and take care of you? Hope you're in tomorrow! Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo <3 <3 <3

I let out a groan and stuffed my phone back inside the pocket of my hoodie, and then realised I was wearing the Disney hoodie I bought with Jace and I groaned again.

I saw mum and dad giving me a weird look and I buried my head in my hands but I could still feel eyes on me and I looked up.

"I bought this hoodie with Jace." Just the sound of his name on my lips caused my heart to drop to my stomach and a lump to form in my throat.

"Ok..." My mum drawled out.

When I was leaving the house, I just stuffed on a random hoodie. Turns out it had to be this one. It didn't help that on the front of the hoodie, there was a cute silhouette of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

I had to walk through the school gates afterwards too for when mine and Molly's plan to deal with the demon is a go. I didn't feel like walking through the school gates with a Disney hoodie on. I wasn't wearing anything but a vest beneath the hoodie either.

There were some guys around school who wore Disney clothing but it was mainly a girl's thing... What if somebody suspects something they shouldn't?

Maybe I'm being an idiot and overthinking but, it's a possibility.

Our food finally came and filled up the whole table. The sushi took up most of it because I have to have my own and then Molly had to have her own.

We started eating and I was literally moaning to myself because the food was so good.

When I had almost finished my thai green curry, mum's phone blared to life and she took it out of her bag and had a confused look plastered to her face as she picked it up.

"He's done what?"

"You're not serious are you?"

"Oh dear, it can't be true."

I was just sat there like everyone else and listened in while I quietly munched on my sticky rice.

Mum hung the phone and sighed, then turned to dad. "Liam went and punched someone.. Or more like, some people- including the head teacher.

I looked to Molly and she was frozen in her place. "Do you have any idea why he'd do such a thing?" Mum asked me.

"Uh... Well, I..." I stuttered.

"Come on, spit it out." Dad said.

"Naomi was cheating on Liam with Flynn and I don't know why he's gone and punched the head though..." I quietly trailed off.

"Hurry up and eat then, we need to get there." Mum sighed with an angry look on her face.

We finally scoffed all our food down and paid the bill before we all headed outside and to the car park where we all hopped in our cars and took the junction that goes towards the school.

To be honest, I wasn't all that surprised about Liam punching Flynn, As bad as a friend it makes me, Flynn kind of deserved it. The idiot knew that Liam and Naomi were dating and that he's given the bracelet to her. Whatever's possessed him to jump his best friend's brother's girlfriend was beyond me.

What surprised me though was Liam punching the head teacher. I mean, seriously? Everyone knew the head teacher deserved a punch once in a while but nobody's had the balls to do it. My brother was certainly a legend, I didn't know because of his new infamous popularity whether I should be happy or sympathetic for him.

Molly pulled into the school's car park and then she turned to me and stuck her hand out for a high five but I declined and hopped out of the car after making sure I had my USB stick and some cellotape. I rolled the sleeves of my hoodie up and almost jumped up and down in excitement- Jessica is definitely in for a surprise. It was lesson time so the only people wandering around the school were those in sixth form because it must be their free period.

Then, just like every morning, I casually strolled into the school as if It owned the place. There was this feeling at the pit of my stomach that was warning me to keep to keep my emotions together if I see Jace wandering about. I heard murmurs of students as they scurried through the halls to their next lesson while I walked down and I suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason.

I guided mum, dad and Molly to the principal's office and I saw through the small window that Liam was slumped in one of the chairs outside. When he caught my eyes and mum's and dad's he looked down to the floor in destain.

The principal, who had a bruise on his cheek, ushered us inside the room where two teachers were stood by the window, including Mr Donovan and we all took a seat and then the head just looked at us with a blank stare.

"I'm sure my receptionist has told you, Mr and Mrs Hamilton, why you are here." The head said.

Mum and dad nodded and he continued, "Liam has violated school property as well as hurt two of our students and myself."

Dad glared at Liam and muttered something to him under his breath.

"You must know that one of the students was Flynn Hopper, who is seemingly very close to your family. So, why has this all of a sudden happened?"

"It's none of your goddamn business." Liam said and slumped back in his chair with his arms folded over his chest.

"I'd like you to watch the CCTV cameras of the quad, Mr and Mrs Hamilton."

My ears perked up and I scurried my chair over so that I could see the screen of the CCTV tv. At the top of the TV, you could see that it said the incident happened about an hour ago.

At exactly 12:23, I could see a Liam shaped figure walking up to a Flynn shaped figure who was chatting to a group of girls. Liam twisted Flynn around and punched him square in the jaw, sending Flynn stumbling backwards. It was actually a pretty good punch, might I add. Flynn shoved Liam back, who easily just peeled Flynn off like a sticker and pushed him back with a stronger force.

Liam didn't stop there, nope. Right after the punch to the face came a blow to the stomach, causing Flynn to crouch over.

The girls on the video all had their hands clasped over their mouths as they watched Flynn being beat into a pulp and a giant (and I literally mean half the school kind of giant) crowd had formed around the two. Liam didn't care though because he continued on kicking and shouting at Flynn who was on the floor, curled up in a ball.

Somebody immersed from the giant crowd who looked a lot like somebody from Torvux. He grabbed Liam's collar and tried separating him from Flynn but failed and received a punch instead. I don't think Liam knew who he was punching then because his back was turned when the guy tried separating him.

The poor guy who got unintentionally punched started arguing with Liam and trying to get him to calm down. I could tell because of his hand movement while Liam's were high up in the air.

Then finally the head teacher immersed from the crowd and tried to pull Liam away but Liam swiftly grabbed him by the collar, shouted in his face and pushed him against the fence, giving him a punch in the cheek.

Liam was on a rampage here but could you blame him when he's just found out that his his long term girlfriend had cheated on him?

I had only just realised, but Molly and I were choursing a bunch of ooh's and ahh's. Mum and Dad looked absoloutely furious, well, Mum mostly. Dad looked surpised and there was only an inkling of furiousness on him. It was like there were two sides of him battling between cheering his son on and scolding him. It was quite humourous actually.

I knew that if Liam was my son, I'd be cheering him on. Not because he's hurting my best friend since forever, but more because he actually has the balls to go right in and do something.

At 12:29, a few other teachers immersed from the crowd, the same two that are stood in the office by the window. Mr Donovan dove right in and grabbed Liam around the waist from behind and around his arms so they couldn't punch anyone else and dragged Liam away from the crowd and the other teacher attempted to shoo everyone off.

I could see Flynn in the corner of the CCTV struggling to get up and then Liam trying to escape from Donovan's strong arms and then the guy who unintentionally got punched getting comforted by a bunch of people. It was funny because nobody was really trying to comfort the head teacher.

"So Mr and Mrs. Hamilton," the headteacher started, "we can't let Liam get away with this-"

"Exam period is starting soon," Mr Donovan quickly walked up to the desk, "the time tables will be changing for revision lessons and Liam is on a roll for getting extraordinary grades and getting into a great university."

I glanced to Liam, slightly weirded out. He always acted dumb and such, I would've never thought he'd be getting these 'extraordinary grades'.

Dad and Molly glanced to Liam too with this expression that basically screamed 'ITS ALL LIES'. It seems nobody really expected Liam to be as good as he is in school. I had to stifle in a laugh.

"If you suspend him then it'll be on his permanent record." Mr Donovan was practically begging for Liam and all Liam was doing was sitting there with his cold look on his face.

The head teacher cocked his furry eyebrows at the pleading teacher and sighed, taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes before putting his glasses on again.

"We can't give this a blind eye." The head said, "He's injured three people! Including me!"

"But are you dead? I think not." Molly added.

"So build a bridge and get over it." I added after and gave Molly a fist bump. Mum turned her head in my direction and just gave me this look of pure fury and I was fearing for my life right now.

The head teacher didn't look too happy and started typing on his computer before bringing up Liam's projected grades for the year on the wall behind using a projector. That was when Liam sat in his chair properly and glared hard at the head teacher.

"I'm sure you've got a copy of this," the head said and mum and dad faced each other with their eyebrows furrowed together.

"When Liam gave me his last school report, they were all C's and D's..." Mum trailed off.

"Liam, why does this one say you're getting all A*'s and A's and the one you gave us says you're flunking?" Dad asked.

Liam looked down at his shoes as if they were the most interesting thing in the world before glancing up at us. "Because I changed the grades on the report I gave you."

"Why the hell would you do that?" I burst out.

"Because I didn't want you to know my grades!" He yelled out, marching my raised voice.

"Thats stupid!"

"You're stupid!"

"Why do you have to act dumb?"

"I'm not a nerd!" Ah right, his reputation.

"Boys." Mum warned and we both quietened down.

"Now, usually, if a student does what Liam did, they'd get suspension for a week." The head said. "Given Liam's grades and the fact that exams are starting soon, I'll have to make an exception."

"I'm giving Liam two weeks of lunchtime detention and litter duty as well regular meetings with the school's councillor."

"Counselling?" Liam stood up, looking absolutely flabbergasted.

"Yes, and after that, you will be forced to continue them wherever your university is until there's improvement in your anger issues." The headteacher said.

We were all shocked for a while and then Liam broke the silence by leaving the room and slamming the door shut. This wasn't the first time something like this has happened, Liam did often leave the classroom when he's angry and everyone knew to just let him be so that he could cool off. What was new to me was the fact that Liam had never ever been this incandescent before.

Almost instantly after his walking out, I also got up out of my seat and caught up to him down the corridor, he was walking really quickly and with his broad shoulders slumped over, he kind of resembled the hulk.

"Liam!" I yelled out.

He carried on walking down the corridor. We were probably disturbing the lessons in progress right now but who cares, my brother was going through a tough time right now.

"Liam!" I called again and ran up to him and stood in front of him.

"What?"

"I.. I.. Just stop walking for a moment okay?" I held my hands out in front of me.

"Look, I know what Flynn did was wrong and you have every right to punch him or whatever but within a few years time, you'll be finishing university or something and you'll just look back at high school and ponder on why your stupid self decided to fight for Naomi, that's why you punched Flynn right?"

"I love her." He chocked on his words.

"And I love Jace but I'm still alone. The idiot ran off for crying out loud. I don't think he even wants to associate with me anymore."

"Can you just do me a favour... Stop hanging out with Flynn."

"Fine." I told him, "I'll stop hanging out and talking to him."

I knew that if I wasn't sick right now, I'd be in biology class with Flynn and we'd be mucking about because he's always distracting me and making me laugh.

I didn't really want to unfriend Flynn, we've known each other for several years and a relationship like ours is kind of hard to come around. I know everything about Flynn but if Liam is saying to unfriend him, then I will because Liam is my brother and my best friend.
