After the only drama in class, it was time for lunch, Athena and I walked into the cafeteria and all eyes were on us, Dylan and his group were glaring at us, I wondered why, after we got our food, Athena and I were walking towards our seat when someone tripped her, she fell to the ground, falling on her face,"Fuck, Principessa, are you okay?" I softly asked and helped her to my feet, then I took a couple of tissues from my tray and hers to stop the bleeding, then I held her head back and waited for the bleeding to stop, which it did a few minutes later. When I noticed Diana smiling at me, I realized she was to blame for Athena's fall."You should be more careful, freak, you might get hurt," Diana laughed, and her friends joined in."Why do you have to be such a bitch Diana? Is your life so pathetic that you have to make other people feel miserable?" I growled angrily, I was so fed up with her bullshit."Why are you protecting that freak, she doesn't belong in our circle, she doesn't
After what happened in the cafeteria yesterday, I decided not to go today because I couldn't face Leo just yet after he saw that video of me. It was so difficult to predict how he would respond, so I hoped he wouldn't side with them. I haven't had my first kiss, but after that video was taken, rumours started spreading and I started getting called a while afterWe just met, so why should I even care what he thinks? 'Maybe because you like him and want him to stick by your side', my subconscious thought suggested. I just feel so frustrated not knowing so it's best I take my mind off it by doing other things. Sophia left early for work, leaving me home alone, so I decided to clean the house.After I finished cleaning, I headed over to Rudy's for lunch while still considering what I could do for Sophia's birthday, which was the following day. As I walked inside the diner, I waved at Tina, who frequents the diner regularly. "How are you, Tina?" I said hello as I took a seat in one of the
Sophia arrived late last night, so I let her sleep in. So by 10 a.m., I sneaked into her room to serve her breakfast which included a stack of pancakes with maple syrup and a glass of orange juice, as well as a small birthday card beside her pancakes.I placed the tray on her bedside table, sat on the bed, and yelled "happy birthday Sophia!" She woke up, rubbed her eyes, and sat up in her bed."Aren't you a little old for this, Honey?" she asked, a small smile on her face."No, I made you breakfast, so go brush your teeth, I have a big day planned for you," I said, trying to contain my excitement about what I had planned for us."Can't I just sleep in like I always do?" she grumbled, trying to go back to bed."Nope, we have to celebrate because you only turn 27 once.""Wow, gosh, I'm old," she sighed audibly as she rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. I served her pancakes after she came out of the bathroom and sat back down on the bed."Thank you for brea
Athena has missed two full days of school already. I, therefore, therefore expected her to be waiting for me in her seat, grinning, when I entered the class, but she was absent yet again. As I sat down for the customary roll call, Mr. Hunter entered the class. All of the people, both present and absent, had their names called out by him."I see Miss Marcos isn't around today," he said looking at her sitting with a scowl on his face, "she has the worst attendance in this class, does anyone know why she is absent"."Perhaps she finally killed herself to free us from having to look at that ugly ass face," Diana jokes, and the entire class bursts out laughing."Why don't you shut up, Diana?" I yelled, turning to face her."What did you say?" she asked, surprised"Are you deaf? I said shut the fuck up if you have nothing better to say" "Mr Smith mind the language you use in this class" Mr Hunter said in a warning tone glaring at me"Oh now you can speak, when she was saying shit about one
Austin and I met in the parking lot at the end of the school day to drive to my apartment for our school project. He kept staring at me as we walked to my truck, as if he was trying to figure me out."Okay I will bite, why are you staring at me like that?"."Like what?""Like um some puzzle you are trying to figure out but it is not going too well for you"."Yeah, I am trying to figure you out, because dude, I don't get you, Diana just told you why I went to jail, and you're still taking me to your house, why?""Listen, if I saw you as a threat, we wouldn't be here right now, Austin; it's not that I trust you or something, but you seem like a good guy, and I'm a very good judge of character, so don't get your knickers in a twist about why.""You might be as crazy as I am, and dude, I'm batshit crazy," he said, puzzled."You're not the first person to call me crazy.""Well, since you hold me in such high regard and are so determined to be my friend, I owe you an explanation." He said "
I was about to open the door when someone knocked; when I opened it, it was Austin. "Hey dude, hey Shane, your offer for the ride still stands right or this is going to be really awkward," "Hi, Austin" Shane waved and Austin gave him a smile "Yeah it does, we were just about to leave" I said as handed him a pack of lunch, he gave me a confused look,"I told Shane you were going to ride with us today, so he made extra for you.""You knew I was coming," he said with a raised eyebrow."Not really, but even if you didn't come with us, I could have given you at school," I shrugged. "I See, well thanks for the meal, little man," Austin said as he ruffled Shane's hair with a huge grin on his face.We all got into the car and headed to Shane's school. Shane and Austin were discussing the anime "One Piece" that we were both obsessed with. And it turns out, Austin enjoyed watching anime as well.Summer was already waiting for Shane at the school gate, and he practically flew out of the car to
"It started three years ago," she said, before telling us that Dylan and his friends began bullying her, and it only got worse with each passing year, and this year was no exception."What was Diana talking about when she said your and Dylan's last encounter?" "I would rather not talk about it," She said as she wrapped her hands around her torso.I wanted to press her but Austin touched my shoulder, I knew what he was thinking, I should let it go but that fucker did something to her and it must have been bad from her reaction just now."Will you tell us someday?" Austin and I asked, "Maybe?" She replied, "that's if I live through their plans for me," but she said the last part quietly, so we couldn't hear her properly."I knew that fucker was messed up in the head, but fuck this is on another level, have you ever tried going to the cops?"She laughed sarcastically, "I tried once but it was swept under the rug, the boys found out, I faced hell that next week, that video you saw Leo wa
After detention, the class fell silent, and I couldn't stop thinking about what Leo had said to Austin; I don't think he even noticed what he had said; he said I was his, but what did he mean by that? Should I ask him? It was all so unsettling; perhaps I was overthinking things; but I'm not sure why I was reading so much into this situation.Would I like us to be more than just friends? I'll be honest. I had entertained the idea of us becoming more than just friends; which made me wonder what it would be like to be Leo's girlfriend? Maybe I should just ask him because it's so frustrating."What's going through that pretty head of yours, Princessa?" I said right away, feeling the heat in my cheeks; I must be as red as a tomato right now. "If it's nothing, why are you blushing? Please, tell me.""i.., can't say""You guys should find a room, you're looking at her like you want to kiss the hell out of her face," Austin said before making kissing noises at Athena."Stop it, Austin," Athen
