Cadence's POV
It has been a week since Allison and I last spoke. The last thing I heard from her was she got grounded for punching a guy from the football team. They said he was trying to get her to bang him, even when she already refused. Well, he got what he deserved.
I was in the classroom talking with my friends when the boys came in suddenly, and I overheard their conversation because they were a little too loud.
"That fight was epic! That's why you should never mess with her."
"She's such a jawbreaker, man."
"Yo, like did you see how that asshole Bryce dropped onto the ground?"
"Heck, yeah I did. Allison and Bryce got in detention after that,"
Did he just say 'Allison'? Matthews? What on earth happened? She's not the kind of girl to get in detention. For what reason?
"Excuse me," I called them, "Who got into a fight?"
"That girl name Allison Matthews and-" I didn't let him finish. I stood up without realizing it and told my friends that I'd be right back.
"Hey! Where are you going?!"
I found myself rushing to the Councilor's Office, hoping that they didn't leave yet so I could talk to her. Then, my luck came in. I saw her closing the door and stood there for a few seconds. She looked so empty. Is it because she got in detention?
I wanted to run to her and ask her what was wrong. I was about to call her, but what she told me the other day at the library suddenly resurfaced.
'Yes, of course, I want to overcome this. but I can't even bring myself to confess-'
"Right. She likes someone else. And why am I jealous?"
That's when I decided to return to the classroom.
That line has been haunting me ever since. I don't understand why it made my stomach turn. Who is she even going to confess to? Is she in love with someone? Well, obviously. A part of me wants to know, but a part of me also doesn't want to.
I groaned, "What are you up to these days?" I whispered as if I was talking to her.
I looked at the time, and it's already 2 AM. I stayed like that for a few minutes and I was startled when I heard my phone beeped. I checked who it was, wondering who could be awake at this hour.
[From Samueeeel<3] 2:34 AM
hi. are you awake?
I didn't feel like texting back. I turned off my phone and tried to get some sleep. But then an idea came into mind. Samuel is Allison's best friend. What if he knows something about it? I grabbed my phone quickly and opened the text.
[Replying to Samueeeel<3]
Yup, very wide awake. I don't really feel like texting. can we call?
After a few seconds, he replied and 'ok' and called.
"Hey," I answered.
He said on the other line, "So, why are you awake at 2 in the morning?"
