Brandon, Nova and I walked over to the double doors that were wide open. Alyssa and Kayden were waiting inside for us as per usual.

We all greeted eachother as Kayden was talking about his test he had in computing. Kayden was a huge gamer mostly playing games like COD, Minecraft and other cool games like that. He dream every since 2nd grade that he was to make a game that became well known. When he took his options he took computing/IT to help him learn the basics of PC.

We walked through the blaring hallways with people staring at us. I'm guessing because we were in a crowd? Some people were making out, others were grabbing things from lockers. The hallway was quite narrow not gonna lie with pictures that the school calls 'decoration'. It's pictures with some of the well known teachers doing other things other then shouting at students.

Alyssa and Brandon reached their form class while me and Kayden were opposite. Nova still had to walk a bit more. We stepped inside of the class and waved at Kayden before we split. I took my seat next to Akio grabbing all of my equipment from my bag for a check.

My school likes to do checks on students to make sure they have all the right equipment for the upcoming day. If we don't it's normally a lecture on why we should have all of our equipment nothing too serious.

"What are you gonna do for the summer holidays" Akio mumbles

"I haven't thought about it yet how about you?" I say up straight and turned to face him engaging with his small talk.

"I might go to my grandmas? I dunno things change." he spoke as he chuckled softly.

"That's cool. What do you have first period?" Me and Akio aren't really in the same classes. There were very few when we were together and even if we were we would be on opposite sides of the room.

"Science" he said groaning. "God I hate that lesson. Our teacher hasn't been in for three fucking weeks."

"Sucks. Our history teacher isn't In either." I said laying my head into my handsZ

"They are probably fucking eachother. They are always off at the same time." He lowered his voice.

"They have been flirting with eachother as well." I said rolling my eyes.

I liked it when he spoke more freely. I liked that he had a soft spot for me. I mean not really a soft spot but he opens up with me a lot which I appreciate. With everyone else he just sits there.

The bell rang I waved at Akio. He waved back as he fixed his dark brown hoodie. I left the classroom to see Muna waiting for me.

Muna was Somali with the most beautiful mom and handsome dad. Her brother was in 10th grade and her little sister was in 3rd grade. her mom was now pregnant with twins. One boy and one girl. Muna was also Muslim.

"What took you so long. Are you legs working fine?" She said sarcastically.

"Your putting on lipgloss in the middle of the hallway" I said rolling my eyes.

"I'm confident." She spoke proudly.

"You sure are." I said looking down.

I was never confident. I never really liked my body shape. I wasn't skinny but I wasn't fat. It was in between. Alex always spoke about how hard it was to carry me. Everyone says he was weak but I don't know.

We walked to class in silence only because we were earwigging at other people's conversations. I know it not healthy.

𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃:

I waved goodbye to Muna and walked with Esther and Isabelle to the end of the hallway. Isabelle waved us goodbye as she turned back around and ran into the gym hall and Esther went home with her dad.

I walked outside the double doors taking a deep breath in knowing who would be waiting for me. Valentina.

She was the most beautiful person ever. She has gorgeous blonde hair with green/blue eyes. She wore this necklace with tiny red pearls hanging from it. It must be important. All the boys complimented her. it was crazy The way she would brush it off like it meant nothing.

"Hey girl" she spoke pulling the L. She swung her arm over my shoulder over me and pulled me closer into her.

"Hey Val." I said clearly uncomfortable.

"Omg Alex came up to my today and told me my hair smelt nice" she said grabbing her hair and smelling it.

"Uhh Cool cool." I said slowly trying to find one of my friends.

"Oh shit. I forgot he was your ex. My bad" she spoke still smelling and twirling her hair. "I'm throwing a party this weekend the boys said they wanted you to come. Are you free?"

"Oh crap. Romans waiting for me. I gotta go. I'll think about it?" I said pretending to feel bad.

"Okay love you!" She screamed.

I hurried over to Romans car and he opened the door for me. "God I hate her." He said his voice cold and serious.

"Thank god you came. She wants to take me to a party" I spoke watching him

"Are you going?" He raised his voice when he spoke. He wasn't really intimidating. Just very protective.

"No. I just have to tell her without her dragging me out of the house anyway."

A lot of girls surprisingly had a crush on Roman. I never liked him like that. I don't wanna ruin the relationship we already have.

Roman started the car and drove as he opened his mouth to speak "you can stay at mine if you want. Just in case she doesn't take no for an answer."

"Yeah sure." I smile at his words as he turned to face me. He looked back into the road and took a right.

"Where are we going?" I asked furrowing my brows.

"To the gas station. I need to get something." He pulled the breaks of the car and hopes out.

"Can I come with?" I ask quietly.

"I wasn't gonna leave you here anyways."  he spoke.

I open the car door and I take my foot out of the car but Roman pushed my leg back I and closed the door again. I furrow my brows as he opens the door again. What was the point of that.

I never really liked staying in the car after what happened with my mom. When we went to the shops she would leave me and my siblings in the car and she said the same words every single time. "I'm locking the car. If you guys move you won't be waking up tommorow." With that she left. She knew that if we moved an inch the car alarm system would start beeping.

I walked inside the gas station with Roman behind me. "What are you getting?" I asked

"Coffee." He spoke smirking.

"Right." I said rolling my eyes.

"you walked right past the coffee machine." He said grabbing the back of my shirt and pulling me back.

"Jeez you could've told me to turn around."

"My bad" he said attempting to rub the pain away.

We walked out of the shop with his coffee in his mouth as he started the car. Of course he opened the door for me. He drove in silence with me just looking at the passerby's.

We made it too my house as he opened the car door for me again. "I'm picking you up tommorow 2pm don't be late" he said turning to face me.

"The party doesn't start till 7 tho" I say frowning.

"Do you wanna be looking like a clown when she gives you that makeover?" He spoke pulling my frown into a smile his face still emotionless.

"Fine" I said messing up his hair.

"Bye creep" he said

"Your the creep." I said laughing.
