The final bell rings for fourth block, but Olivia isn't here and I worry right away. She's always in by the warning bell. Sure, she might actually just be running late, but that's unusual for her.
As our teacher starts class I pull out my phone, texting Olivia as my nerves skyrocket. Especially when I know she's staying with Divine and Admira, that Admira doesn't have legal guardianship over Olivia, that her dad could easily come and get her, I go reeling.
Lexi slips into Olivia's usual seat and I groan. Of course she takes this as her opportunity. "Hey babe."
"Go back to your seat, Lexi." Of course, our teacher dismisses us to do our assignments today so she can't get in trouble for talking or anything. Her hand is on my thigh and I move my chair, annoyed already and very fucking uncomfortable. "Seriously Lexi, go."
"Babe, what's the matter?" I roll my eyes, pushing her hand away from mine, worrying when I don't get a text back from Olivia. "Oh... she finally left you?"
"Finally left me? The fuck Lexi? God leave me alone." To think I ever tried being friends with her.
"I can help you?" Her hands back on my thigh, getting way too fucking close to my certain area, so I slap her hand away, not caring if it hurt or anything. "What the fuck Adrian?"
"She didn't leave me." We haven't even been dating for 3 hours, so I'd hope not. Oh my god-she's my girlfriend. Everytime I think about that fact, my heart races. "So leave me alone."
"Why're you being such a dick?" I scoff, then laugh at how fucking oblivious she seems to be.
"Because, you can't get it through your head that I don't want you, Lexi." That might be a bit mean, but I don't care anymore. Not when I'm worrying about the girl I actually want about why she's not in class, or answering my texts as I send another one.
"And you want that bitch Olivia?" I just nod, not wanting to deal with her shit a second longer. "You're fucking stupid."
"Look who's talking." My leg bounces, nerves skyrocketing more and more with each passing second.
"I don't understand what you see in her." I ignore her, pretending to pay attention to our assignment when the only thing my mind is on is Olivia.
When the bell rings, after I've sent Olivia several more texts asking where she is and if she's okay, I'm standing right up from my seat, shoving everything in my backpack, and going out the door ignoring Lexi who's following me.
"This is your last chance, Adrian." I flip Lexi off as I run to Olivia's locker, seeing if she'll show up. But she's not there as I see Divine and everyone else there.
"Where's Olivia?" Danny asks as she's usually always with me, but now she's not.
"I don't know. You guys haven't seen her?" I'm taking out my phone again, calling her and my worries just keep going when it goes straight to voicemail.
