Inside

part 3

So as I'm walking I find Mike. And he looks so worried I nearly started laughing.

I'm like,
"Yo Mike you good?" and he's like,
"I saw you talking to Mitch and Mavis. What were they saying?"
"Oh they were just saying that Lucy's my new competition." I started giggling, "better be careful otherwise she'll start hitting on you. Unless she already has?" I said that last part seriously before bursting out in giggles. He was so concentrated with my reaction to the news he didn't even laugh.

"Mike are you okay? You've been really off through out the day."

"No, yeah I'm fine don't worry about me. Do you believe these rumors? About lucy being competition?"

"Well I know she likes you but she's not competition worthy. Unless your hinting at something?"

"Don't do that. You know I'd never do that to you."

Good for nothing lying asshole. But I didn't know any better.

"Well then, I'm off to go talk to her. See you laters."

"Wait! Why'd you need to talk to her?"

"Well obviously I've got to see this from all points of view and she's probably worried that I'm out for her blood." I laugh and walk inside to find Lucy and her little army of girls in pink lipgloss and scrunchies.

As I reach the top of the first flight of stairs I see her and her marching band.

" Hey Lucy!"

"Sam? Um hi." Honestly the fact that she was so nervous made me want to laugh. Like I'm not even that scary, well atleast when I'm in a good mood I'm not that scary.

"Hi do you mind if I talk to you," I look towards her friends, "alone?"

"Uh sure," she turns to her friends, "wait for us out here."

"Yeah if we're not out in the next fifteen, call a teacher." I laughed walking into the toilets, Lucy following behind me.

I sit on the sink side while she looks at me all nervous.
"Before I go on I'd just like to say I'm not going to kill you," before I can go on her face immediately relaxes, "however if I find it necessary too then I'll be the last face you see."

"I'm joking love-"

"Oh okay."

"Anyways I've been hearing that your 'trying to get my man' and that I've" got competition', do you have anything you'd like to say about that? "

"No because I'm terrified of you but I will show you some screenshots of messages between my bestfriend and Mike."

"Whats your bestfriend got to do with anything?"

"Well she knew I liked Mike, not that I was going to ever do anything about it, so she was trying to find out if might like me back."

"Personally I don't get why that would be necessary if you knew he was in a relationship."

"I get that in that depo this seems mainly my fault but when you see this..."

"What do you mean 'this will seem like your fault'."

And then she shows me the screenshots. My heart shattered. I didn't say a word as I read those screenshots.

(for privacy perposes I can't show or quote most of what was said because I haven't asked permission too so sorry loves x)

I couldn't believe this. How could he?? I sniffed and smiled at her.
"Thanks Lucy, I think our fifteen minutes are up you can go. Oh and could you get Athena and tell her to come here for me please?"

"Yeah sure, and thanks for listening to me before going crazy."

"Mhmm."

Time lapse to when Athena comes in.

"SAM?? You in here?"

"Yeah last stall, doors open." I hear her rush over to me at the sound of my voice.

"Are you...okay??" she opens the door mid sentence to see me crouched on the floor crying.

"He cheated. Mike he fucking cheated with that bitch Lucy!"

"NO he did not!" she jumped up slamming a fist into her palm before sitting back down and pulling me into her arms, "that son of a bitch if I ever see I'm I'll do more than knock his teeth out. As for Lucy she better watch her fucking step or I might just push her down the stairs along with her mate serena!"

I start uncontrollably crying again, I couldnt help it. I thought he had changed but all he needed was for a new girl to say they liked him and boom he's all over them.
" Shh, baby it's okay, " the bell rings signalling lunch being over, "We'll stay for aslong as you want us too okay love?" I nodd scooching closer to her.

20 minutes pass and I kidd you not I still haven't stopped crying. I know by now teachers are probably looking for us, just shocked they haven't tried the toilets first. All of a sudden 3 teachers barge in: Miss Bailey our T.A; Miss Kayla our wellbeing lady and Miss Lincoln our deputy head.

"Aw goodness me girls what's going on here?" Miss Kayla says rushing over to us, she gets on her knees and tries to help me up but I don't budge.

Miss Lincoln starts speaking on her walkie letting the other teachers that they found us and to let our English teacher know that we were okay.

" Right come on girls you've had enough free time sat here off you go, back to class." Miss Lincoln says having not even taken a second look at the situation.

"Miss L..." Miss Kayla says getting Miss Lincolns attention.

"Oh goodness me whats gone on here girls, have we had a falling out at lunch?" she (Miss Lincoln) says with zero sympathy in sight.

"Athena you don't seem like there's anything wrong with you. I think you can go back to what's left of your lesson." Miss Bailey says trying to fit into the conversation.

"Emotional support Miss." Athena says shrugging her shoulders.

"Is that so Athena?"

"Mhmm."

"Well in that case you won't mind helping Sam up and taking her to the quiet room so we can discuss whatevers happened in a more sanitary room, yes?" Miss Kayla says having stood up from the crouching position she was in.

"You wanna go or stay?" Athena whispers in my ear.

"We can go I guess." I barely mumble back.

She helps me up and with the help of Miss Kayla I'm back on too feet. Athena puts one arm underneath mine in attempt to make it look like she's carrying me and so leaning onto her shoulder we head down the stairs and towards the Quiet Room with Miss Kayla somewhere behind us.
