meredith found it pointless to go to school the following day as she lay awake on her bed, staring at the ceiling. their first day of winter break was the 23rd, and going to school on one pointless monday to do pointless things was, well, pointless. as pointless as a broken pencil.

another pointless thing was drama. the only thing on facebook that weekend was gina's pregnancy. she was pregnant alright, but no one knew who the father was still. hell, no one even knew if gina did. all she wanted to do now was talk to ashton, and he didn't answer her texts all day, and she figured he'd falled asleep early.

ashton had become distant since the whole gina incident. there was no one really for meredith to talk to for those past three days. still, she laid thinking that maybe ashton had lied and he was the father to gina's baby. anyways, with the thought clouding in her mind, she walked to her bathroom to get ready to go to bed.

all was normal for those next few minutes. she brushed her hair and teeth, washed her face, and put on fuzzy pants and a teeshirt for pajamas. Then she looked at her phone, and low and behold there was a text message from a blocked number.

blocked number:

New image message!

with an eyebrow raised, meredith opened the message.

there it was, a perfectly made-up gina peters with her lips on his cheek. she nearly dropped her phone at the sight of it. he was smiling, in his dark green flannel that she remembered yanking through the back door of the school when he came in the middle of the day. the number was typing.

blocked number:

your move, bitch.
[11;29pm]

everything froze for moments at a time, and no tears came out of her eyes. she saw it coming. meredith saw all of this coming. and with that, she turned her phone off and went to bed.

she didn't want to go to school the next day, but she did.

she didn't want to get dressed for school either, but she threw on a red flannel and black leggings anyway.

she didn't want to wear a jacket because she wanted to get sick and have an excuse to not to talk to anyone over break, but still she put on her volleyball sweatshirt and walked out the door, apetite lost.

the walk to school was a quiet one. no one walked on her route, and she walked inside keeping her head down, not wanting to see ashton or gina or calum or luke or anyone else that day. every school year except for this one she was able to keep herself hidden, no one knew who she was unless they needed a tutor.

everything changed.

it had barely snowed all winter this year, that made her sad too.

at her locker, the two cheerleaders were talking again. "There's this picture going around of her and Ashton Irwin... I thought he was dating that one girl." the blonde shrugged, applying lipstick in a mirror. in rage, meredith slammed her locker shut, and as she walked by the two girls, she stopped. "he's not." she snapped. "talk a little quieter next time."

with that, she rushed onto homeroom, not wanting to see him. "meredith?" she heard someone call, and nearly ignored it when she recognized the voice as luke's.

"luke, what do you need?" she sighed tiredly, rubbing her eyes.

he rubbed the back of his neck. "i have to talk to you at lunch..." he said, staring down at his feet.

"okay." she mumbled, and then walked off.

at lunch she texted luke to meet her in the library. she sat in there, reading one of her own books while waiting for him, and he sat down next to her. "hi." he said, folding his hands in front of him, and looked back down.

"you had to talk to me?" meredith asked, and picked at her nail polish.

luke sucked in a breath and then sighed. "are you okay? he finally said, looking meredith in the eye.

she raised an eyebrow. "to tell you the truth, no. everyone thinks ive hit rock bottom, i think my only real friend knocked up gina peters, and after him telling me that he didn't, he's ignored me, and last night i got a text from a blocked number showing gina kissing his cheek and a message saying 'your move bitch' and i dont know what to do anymore." she rambled, and hit her head on the table they were sitting at.

meredith could almost sense luke getting uncomfortable. "why?" she asked, lifting her head and looking at him.

"i'm worried." he answered, tapping his foot repeatedly.

meredith raised an eyebrow. "you're nervous." she said. "why?"

he gulped, and looked down at the table again. "don't tell anyone." he whispered.

she knew instantly what he was going to say. "luke..." she started to say, eyes widening.

"it's mine."
