I woke up the next morning to the annoying buzz of my alarm. I reached for my phone on the side table.
   
  7:50am

My classes start by 9 so m not running late. I don’t feel like going to school today, I already know what happened yesterday is already spreading around school like wild fire but I could any miss anymore days in school or mom would end up having a heart attack or even a stroke.

I went to mason’s room to wake him up. He has an alarm too but he sleeps too deep that even an atomic bomb can wake him up. I just hope he doesn’t grow like this if not, he’s gonna have to be self employed.

“Mason get up, it morning’ I said shaking him awake.

“What! Already”

‘yes Mason”

“Five more minutes”

“Nope, you’re getting up now or else I and mom would leave you and you would have to walk to school”

“Fine”

I took a shower and wore a simple black top with jeans. I let my hair down , got my bag and went down stairs to the kitchen. Mason was eating his breakfast, eggs and bacon. I didn’t feel like eating anything so I made coffee, I mean i will need it to get through today.

“Let’s go guys”

Mum rushed out the front door and mason and I followed behind. I was about to get in mom’s car when someone hunked behind us.

“hey Emmy, you coming”

It was Jace. I was wrapped up in this whole Ryder situation I forgot he was picking me up today and now I have to face him.

What if he knows already?

“Alright mom see you later” I said looking at her

“OK, no ditching”

“Never”I gave her a small smile and headed towards Jace’s Porsche.

“Emmy you looking extra pretty today” Jace said as I got comfortable in the passenger seat.

Phew.He doesn’t know anything yet. I hope

“thank, but you know I didn’t even try right”

“whateves, you look good in everything”

We drove through the entrance gate and Jace parked in a free spot. We got out and headed towards the school building.

“Uhh Jace…you go ahead, I’ll meet you later”

“kk, see ya later”

I needed to get in without drawing attention to myself and walking with Jace would do the opposite.

I managed to get in without any drama. As I walked down the hall to my locker I tried to see if people were giving me any weird looks and thank God they weren’t.

I took my books I needed from my locker and went to class, Ella has being giving me the eyes since I got to class but that was all, a long as she is the only one , I don’t give a FUCK.

I haven’t seen Ryder since I got to school, I mean it’s not like he’s always here anyways and now it was lunch time so I caught up to Jace.

We got to the cafeteria and there seemed to be chaos ,not a surprise, this is Brixton high after all, there’s always one drama or the other.

“let’s go see what happening”

Jace said looking over excited.
Before I could reply he dragged me toward the forming crowd.
I got to the front and regretted it immediately, RYDER was making out with a blonde who also appears to be senior. I couldn’t stop stop the feelings from last night from coming back I just couldn’t how could he, just yesterday he was with me now he is with another bitch, how am I even surprised he is a FUCKING PLAYER.

Jace said something but I couldn’t hear as I ran off trying so hard not to cry. I could hear Jace calling out to me but I didn’t stop till I was close to the female toilet.

Jace does sport to me in no time

‘Emmy where are you going”

“Not now Jace, I need to be alone”

I went inside and locked myself in one if the stalls. I couldn’t hold in the tears anymore, I let them fall. I know how he is but I didn’t think he would have forgotten what happened and moved on already. So he really didn’t see me as anything important.
I was locked there for a while I dint want to learn neither did I want to skip class so I went back to class and managed to get through till closing time.

I went outside and I saw Jace was already waiting for me

‘What happened” he asked still looking worried

‘Mind your business” I and Jace have learnt to maintain our privacy that way we don’t have to tell our secrets

“Yes ma, so sassy should I drop you off” he said.

“No, I wanna get ice cream” I said pouting.

"Okay, ice cream we have”

The ride was silent; I could see Jace fighting the urge to ask what happened, so I decided to bring up a topic.

“Am tired of being single, aren’t you’ I finally said.

“who told you I’m single”jace said smirking

“ooh I forgot you’re a player”

“No am not dedicated to her cause I think I might actually love her”

“wait, what you have a girlfriend and I don’t know”

“Am sorry, I asked her out yesterday and you where nowhere to be found”

True.

“whatever so who is the lucky girl”

“Mia, the one from Art class”

“Yeah, I always see the way you look at her, thought you only wanted to fuck her” I said

“No I didn’t” he laughed

“Guess am alone then” I pouted

He peeked my check giving me a pitiful look .

We had ice cream and he dropped me off at home.

I took my bath and went down to prepare dinner. Mom was working late so I reheated some left over mac and cheese for me and Mason. After dinner, I went up to my room to catch up on some homework.

I went on facebook afterwards and saw a post from Ryder, he was at a party with his friends.

The fact he doesn’t care he doesn’t care. I sighed and dropped the phone. I thought about everything until I fell asleep
