BILLIE tried to avoid Q the most she could. From almost 50 missed calls and 108 unread text messages. She wouldn't reply.
She got out of her bed that morning and looked at the time, 10:26.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." She muttered under her breath. She'd missed almost 3 hours of her first day back at school.
She ran to her closet and threw on a baggy t shirt with a denim jacket and sweats. She threw on her shoes, grabbed her bag and ran out of the house. Forgetting completely about her eye.
She rode her new bike she bought a couple days ago to school and thankfully for her. It was first break.
As she walked to her locker she got weird looks from people. She stopped in her tracks and realised she probably still had the bruise on her eye from last night. She tried to hide it with her hair but didn't succeed that well.
As she paced to the bathroom, she ran into a girl.
"Oh, sorry." Billie said to the girl.
"Sorry." The girl said back.
"Oh. Hi." Billie said unenthusiastically after seeing who it was.
"Hey. Uh, what happened to your eye?" Dominique asked.
Billies mind rushed to find an excuse. "School fight." She lied.
"You want some makeup to cover it? I can see people staring." She asked Billie.
"Uh, yes, thanks..." Billie said confused on why she was being nice.
Dominique then pulled out a concealer that was exactly her shade. Billie was confused but didn't question it.
"Thanks..." Billie said and took the makeup. The two stood their in silence till Dom sparked up the conversation again.
"Uh, Carl told me you had a recording studio. Is that true?" She asked.
'Fucking Carl' she thought to herself.
"Uh, yes." Billie responded.
"You mind if I borrow it? Carl told me you said it was ok." She spoke.
"I mean I didn't but sure." Billie said hesitantly.
"Thanks..."
The two became awkward again.
"I'm gonna go put this on..." Billie said as she started to walk away with the makeup in her hand.
"Yeah, of course. Tell me if it's the right shade." She spoke and the two walked away. Billie had never in her life been more confused about a situation.
She walked to the bathroom and applied the makeup, trying her hardest to cover the bruise, but the bruising still vaguely showed.
She went to all her classes throughout the day. Not really seeing Carl at all. Until the end of the day.
Billie saw Carl and Dominique talking to each other like they usually do. She figured they'd be there a while. So she grabbed Liam on her way home and dropped him at the Gallagher's.
She then went home a fell asleep after being exhausted from the day before. She hadn't seen much of Kev and V in a while and had wondered where they'd been. Sometimes she didn't see either of them for a day.
-
She woke up the next day with a sore eye, and another 32 messages from Q.
She didn't know how long she could go without seeing him.
She stood up from her bed and saw the time was 6:29 am. Billie groaned in annoyance but got up anyway. She decided that day, she wasn't going to spark up a conversation, look at him, or do anything. If he didn't initiate it.
