(I deleted the chapter about Damien, as he is not very vital to the plot.)

"Aricka, my cousin Damien is moving to America, do you want to meet him?" Dodie asks. Aricka shrugs, and closes her locker.

"I don't want to meet anyone new right now. I just-Dan, Phil, and I are thinking of starting YouTube channels, and if I do decide to, I need to focus on that."

"I understand, but he's really nice," she says. The girls walk to English Lit, and sit down, far away from the cheating traitor, Mark, and his new girl, Amy. (I LOVE AMY AND MARK IN REAL LIFE DON'T HATE ME PLEASE!) Mark looks over, but winces when he sees her, and looks away, taking Amy's hand.

"I know, but Dan and I have plans to go to the mall next week." we were going to buy new equipment for our channel-well, for his for now-I still hadn't decided.

Dan and I walked home together. "How're you feeling?" he asks. "I mean, about everything-your leukemia, Sean, and Mark." I wince.

"I'm alright, Dan. Somedays are harder than others, but I'm okay." he nods and pulls me in for a hug.

"Always keep fighting," he whispers. I snuggle closer to his warmth.

"I will."
