The rest of the day had gone fine but I was not my usual self because of everything that happened with my dad. I wrote down the last words of my notes and then closed my book tiredly.

Sinking down my seat, I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples.

"Alright students, your assignment is due next week-" Ms Blue wasn't able to finish her sentence when an army of groans were heard. "Do you want me to make it Friday?" She raised her brow and everybody else kept quiet.

"That's what I thought. So for this assignment no group work will be needed." I internally sighed and thanked the heavens. The last thing I needed, was to be surrounded by a group of people speaking, spilling and suggesting. "You will have to do this on your own. Due date is Thursday and it should be completed."

And right on time, the bell rang. I tiredly got up and shoved my spare notebook inside my bag and got out after the other students had left. I wasn't even three steps out yet and a familiar pair of eyes met mine. I gave him a blank stare and crossed my arms, lazily. "You don't need to wait for me everywhere you know."

"I was not following you," I inhaled sharply and closed my eyes.

Don't snap.

Don't snap.

Don't snap.

I opened my eyes and gave him a tight smile before walking away and I could hear his footsteps from behind. I didn't say anything since I wasn't in the mood to fight with him or anyone of that matter. I spotted my two best friends seated in our usual table and went ahead and walked over to them.

I removed my bag from my shoulder and sank down in my seat. Both heads snapped over to me. "Heyy boo," I heard Levine. "Hi," I breathed with my eyes closed.

"How are you feeling?"

"Tired. Super super tired."

That had become something that I repeated everyday and I was just being honest to every person that asked me how I was. Thing haven't been necessarily the same after the incident with my dad, everyday was just the same ol' same. I just felt point blank tired.

I opened my eyes and stared at the tray of food in front me. I immediately felt nauseous and began feeling the turning of my insides. "What's wrong?" I heard Sarah. "I don't have an appetite." I stated and gently pushed the tray in their direction, signalling they could have it.

I had been visiting my dad on a daily basis everyday and he had not given me nor the doctors any signs of ever waking up. I was forcing myself to not lose faith and just hope that he'd be okay. But everyday was the same.

I noticed from the corner eyes that someone else has dropped their black back pack next to my seat. I looked up and saw the sleeve of the leather jacket and I knew instantly who it was. He opened his mouth to say something but a voice had already beaten him to it.

"Alex!" I heard her say and she went ahead and threw herself on Alexander. "I've missed you,"

"I-"

"I told you to come sit with me," she whispered and I decided not listen to anything that she had to say. Whatever he did was really none of my business and I shouldn't have to be involved.

But Kelly then did something that I never expected her to do.

She kissed him.

But that wasn't the reason only why I had even acknowledged it. It's because he didn't stop her, he let her.

I looked away once he pushed her away. I watched at Sarah and Levine watched as the drama unfolded in front of their eyes.

"Serine I-"

"You don't need to explain anything," I simply said and walked away.

Hola! Hola! So let's just pretend that I didn't update for a while. Okay? Yeah.

This is a writers block update and it was not easy typing this out when I still have writers block. So... yeah. I know this was boring but I just had to update.

Ps. Writers block played a part of this short chapter.

That's all I wanted to blab about.
