Break Me, Fix Me, Repeat.

Chapter 7

"Ah!" I  screamed to the sound of my alarm; it literally scared me awake.

I looked down at myself trying to figure out when I had fallen asleep and I was still wearing my jeans and red shirt that I wore to school yesterday.

I jumped up out of bed to run to the bathroom so I could quickly shower. As the water in the shower began to warm up, I looked in the bathroom mirror and saw my eyeliner had smeared around my eyes.

Once I hopped out of the shower, I towel-dried my hair as much as possible so it wouldn't be wet by the time I got to school.

I laid low on my make-up today, keeping it at only mascara. My eyelashes were already long enough without it, but I felt a little more confident with myself knowing I had a some make-up on. I still hadn't unpacked my suitcases, so I dug through the bag until I found a summery, yellow top and I paired it with some washed out cut-off shorts. The black toms returned to my feet once again because they were my favorite and are, well, comfy as hell. If Kaila could get away with her outfit yesterday, I could most likely pull this off without an issue.

On the plus side, it was hot in Texas, so my outfit definitely matched the weather.

I ran downstairs to the kitchen, grabbed an apple and lastly my backpack which was sitting under the kitchen table where I left it last night.

On my way to school, I couldn't help but enjoy the weather. I used to lay outside on our old hammock and either just read or think; sometimes Cameron would even join me as we swayed back and forth enjoying each other's company.

Shit.

I have to see Cameron today. Coming back into this situation with him, I would have never been the one to guess that I would be the one apologizing.

If someone had asked me a week ago where I would be standing in terms of Cameron as of now, I would have laughed and said I hated him. That's not even the problem anymore.

He is probably as confused as ever. I have no idea what he would do if I walked up to him today; would he be mad or upset or okay?

My thoughts have completely switched around. This entire time I had been waiting for him to beg for our friendship back, and I feel as if I will be the one pleading on all fours. Not that I would actually become that desperate, but I had to place a bit of drama in my mind to shine some light on the situation.

I walked into school earlier than I had the day before, and I instantly heard a high voice yelling my name. "Jewels!!"

I turned my head to find a waving blonde standing up trying to get my attention. I decided to walk over to my friend, and she sat me down.

"Morning Jewels!" Alexis gleamed at me, flashing a smile before she took a bite of her blueberry muffin. "What's up with the outfit?" she managed to say with the mouthful of food.

"Um its warm outside and I saw Kaila wearing a skimpy outfit yesterday.....so I figured...." I started to blush at her.

"Oh no! It's totally cute! I don't think any teachers would have a problem with it. Most of them don't follow the dress code guidelines anyways," she assured me. 

"Well that's a relief," I said as I finally began to breathe again.

"And anyways," Alexis began to say, "Kaila is Mr. Anderson's daughter."

I shook my head at her acting like I knew who she was talking about, but I was actually stumped. I didn't have him as a teacher, did I?

She giggled for a second as she slapped me on the knee, "Mr. Anderson is the principle, silly! He's actually really rude, and all of the teachers are scared of him. Kaila gets whatever she wants anyways, so I doubt the teachers want to make 'little princess' unhappy," Alexis rolled her eyes and I couldn't help but smile at her. I was really starting to like her.
