Chapter Twenty-Four: Starting Off Good

Chapter Twenty-Four

Payton’s POV

            The next couple days play out similar to Tuesday. I go to school, then to the hospital to see Lila and Ms. Rose, and then I go to Reece’s house and do a lesson before coming home doing homework and going to bed.

            Now it is finally Friday morning and I am flipping through my clothes stupidly. I want look nice, but it’s not like he would actually see what I am wearing. You can’t blame a girl for trying. I just really want to look nice since I kind of like him. This is so darn stressful! I groan as I tug my hand through my hair and stare at what clothes that are hanging in my closet.

            I choose a black and gray v-neck with some dark fitting blue jeans. I carry them to the bathroom and change into them. The shirt actually fits me nicely and the jeans hug all the right places. I smile as I brush my teeth and then brush my curls untangling them. Once I am done I look at my reflection satisfied because this is as good as it will get. With that I head back my room pulling on Reece’s hoodie and as I do a smile spreads in my face. Then I slip on my shoes and grab my things as my stomach does a nervous flip flop.

            I really don’t want anything to eat so I quickly grab a banana and walk towards the door already starting shake and I have to still get to school.

           

*^*^*^*^

            I slip into my seat in English just like every morning and bounce my foot up and down with nerves. The bell rings and the kids poor in. Mrs. Reed begins teaching when a knock comes from the door and everyone looks up. Mrs. Reed walks over to the door that is locked and opens it slightly sticking her head out to speak with the person. She shuts the door and walks back to the broad.

            “Payton, you need go see the consoler Ms. Payne,” Mrs. Reed says and I sigh as I put my things into my bag and stand up heading for the door.

            Why does she need to see me? I can’t be in trouble! Great, this really helps my already nervous nerves.

            I slowly walk down the hall shaking as I see her office near ahead of me. I reach her office door and knock on it waiting for her to open it. Once it opens a smiling woman in her twenties with blonde hair in a bob cut gestures me inside. Her eyes are a dark green and she’s wearing one of those skirt suits.

            “Payton, how are you?” she asks with a large smile as I walk towards the leather chair across from her desk. She walks towards her desk after closing the door shut.

            “I am good. How are you?” I ask being polite to her.
