Who should I trust?

Pool party

" Hey! Shouldn't you be in class? " Ms. Johansson asks me. I don't know what to say, so I walk away from the door, and look at Ms. Johansson.

" Are you okay? " She asks me worried.
I nod, and walk away.

I don't know what to think... Her soulmate?! There isn't anything like a soulmate.. Right? And if there was, you couldn't know.

I did indeed feel electricity, when she touched my hand, but that must have been a coincidence...

I decide to forget it, and walk further to my History classroom. When I arrive, I knock on the door, and open it.

Everyone looks at me, and I don't really know what to do. " Can I help you? " The teacher asks. " Oh uhm.. Yeah, I need to be in this class, but Ms. Kendrick wanted me to stay for a second, so I'm a bit late. " I answer.

" Please take a seat! Hailee, can you tell this girl, what we just saw? " He asks a girl. " Sure sir! " The girl answers.

She smiles at me, and I take a seat next to her. " Hey! I'm Hailee! " She says excited. " Hi.. I'm Y/n.." I answer.

She explains everything, they just saw. We talked and I need to admit, that I like this girl. Maybe, it wouldn't be so bad, having one friend..

* knock knock * The door opens and I freeze when I see Ms. Kendrick walks in.

" Hello! Is Y/n in this class? " She asks my history teacher.

" She's right here!! " Hailee says, and she points to me. I wish I could just sink in to the ground. I really didn't want to talk to Ms. Kendrick, and I especially wanted to forget what I heard.

" Can you come with me Y/n? " She asks. I can see she's a bit nervous. I nod, and pack my stuff. When everything is in my school bag, I start walking to Ms. Kendrick.

" She'll be gone for the rest of the class, so you don't need to wait for her! " Ms. Kendrick quickly says, while taking my hand to pull me out of the classroom.

There is that electricity again. I'm sure she felt it too, because she immediately let's go of my hand, and walked further.

" Follow me. " She says. I walk behind, her and start thinking about what could be so important.

When we arrive at the bathroom, she grabs my arm, and pulls me in the girls bathroom. " What the hell?! Why are we in the bathroom? " I ask confused.

" Look Y/n..This is very important.. You need to promise me, you'll stay away from me! " She says.

" What? Why? " I ask.
" I can't tell you! Look, it's better if you stay away from me. If you don't then.. Then.. Please just promise me! " She asks, and I see tears forming in her eyes.

" No! Look, you're my teacher, and I'm not gonna stay away from you. You told me, I could talk to you about everything, and now I suddenly need to get away from you. Tell me why! If you don't, I'm not going away. " I say raising my voice.

" You'll get hurt if you don't... " She says looking at the ground.

I grab her hands, and use my fingers, to lift her chin up. We look in to each other's eyes, and say nothing. " I won't get hurt.. I promise you.. " I tell her.

" Y/n you don't understand!" She yells.
I want to say something, but the bathroom door opens, and a girl walks in. She looks confused, and looks at my and Ms. Kendrick's hands being tangled.

I pull my hands away, and look one last time at Ms. Kendrick. I shake my head from the left to the right, and walk out of the bathroom.

I'm not sure, what to do now. Ms. Kendrick told the history teacher, I'd be gone for the rest of the class, so I didn't need to go back to the classroom.

I decide to walk to my locker, because my headphones are in there. When I arrive at my locker, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around, and look at Brittany.

" Hey... " She says with a sweet voice.

Wait what! A sweet voice?!

" Hi.. " I answer.

" I know you must hate me, but I just really wanna say sorry.. I have been a total jerk, and I know I hurt your feelings.. Would you like to come to my pool party tonight? " She asks.

I'm shocked. That's it.. Only shock.

I think it took a minute before I blinked.
" Wow.. I uhm-.. I would love that! " I say.

" Great! " Brittany says smiling. This is the address, and the hour."
She gives me a note. I smile back, and watch Brittany walk away.

What the hell was that?

* riiing * The last bell rang. I hadn't seen Ms. Kendrick whole day. It looked like she had just disappeared.

I grab my bag and walk out of school. The part started in 20 minutes, so I text my brother Jake, that I'm not coming home, and that I'm going to a party.

I start my car, and drive to the address. When I arrive, I can hear loud music, and I see a lot of people, talking and laughing. Some are throwing up, probably because of the alcohol.

I walk out of the car, and I see Brittany running at me. " Heeyyy!! You made it!! " She yells, and she hugs me.

I'm confused, but I still hug her back.
" Did you bring your bathing suit? " She asks.

" Uhm.. No.. I'm not really a swimming person. " I say, while rubbing my neck.

" Oh not a problem at all!! You can just dance! " Brittany says smiling.

" Have fun! " She yells, and she walks back to her friends. I look around and walk to the bar.

" A water please! " I asks. The man behind the bar starts laughing.

" Are you serious? " He asks, seeing me not laughing with him. " Uhm, yeah.. " I say. He chuckles, and gives me a glass of water. I thank him, and walk over to the dance floor.

I look around, hoping I'll see someone I know, but these are probably all just
' popular ' people from our school.

" Heyyy!! Y/n! " I turn around and see Hailee waking to me.

" Hey! " I say happy, that there is someone I know. " I didn't know you'd be here! " She says.

" I actually didn't think so myself! " I say laughing.

" What happened with Ms. Kendrick? " She asks me.

" Oh.. Uhm.. She wanted to talk to me about something we learned. " I lie.

" Oh okay! By the way, talking about her, I saw Ms. Kendrick walking around here somewhere! " Hailee says.

" What! Why would she be at a party?! " I ask confused. Hailee shrugs her shoulders.

" Oh there she is! " She says, pointing at something behind me.

I turn around, and look in the eyes of Ms. Kendrick.
