"HE ISN'T HIMSELF, Caleb. Something's fucking wrong." Azriel's seated at the end of his bed, I'd come to our dorm as soon he'd texted me saying something had happened with Sage.
"What do you mean?" I'd initially searched the room as soon as I'd entered but I find myself doing it again anyway trying to see if Sage is here. If this is some prank he's pulling as a 'warm up' to April fools.
"He had a meltdown at the pool, he was yelling at Bailey, yelled at Saamiya and then like two seconds later he turns around apologising."
"Bailey Sjöberg?" The girl who exposed the girls? She was at the pool with them? I mean, I know Sage isn't hateful but...her? I'd at least think he'd hold some grudge against her for exposing Amber and adding fuel to the fire of our own exposes.
"Yeah."
"What were you doing with her?"
"Why are you saying it like that?" He doesn't know? I'm not in the gossiping mood, I'm trying to find out what happened with Sage.
"I'll tell you later." I dismiss. "Are you sure he was yelling?" Sage never yells at his friends, hell, he practically never yells at all. The last time I saw him do it was at the first party when Fillian Bennets had said something to him and he'd lost his shit, but prior to that he'd never even looked at someone with malice.
"I think I know what yelling sounds like, he was all over the place a proper mess." Sage a mess? What?
"Did he look tired?" Has he slept? I've been sending food and Luca's told me he's eating it. I haven't had any time to talk to Sage in between soccer practice and trying to contact my parents, it must've slipped by.
"He looked...out of it. I think he should go back home."
"That's too far." Home? He thinks Sage should be sent six hours away because of some tantrum? No way.
"Look, I'm not talking shit about Sage. Hell, I like him a lot. But some people shouldn't be away from home, he's probably homesick or something. Does he have any favourite meals? Maybe you can make them."
Favourite meal? I'd done that, I'd spent an hour driving down to the nearest grocery shop in order to buy ingredients and then I had to google the recipe. "What did he even say to her?"
"He said she ruined his fucking life." Confusion etches Azriel's face and I try and recall what must've possessed Sage to say that, especially to someone we barely talk to.
I mean Bailey's admission sucked sure and it's not like I plan on being friendly with her, but she isn't the reason Atlas' dad almost lost the election for mayor. She isn't the reason I get tagged in pictures of pregnant girls claiming I'm the father to their children whilst also receiving pregnancy tests in my locker. She isn't the reason Luca can't go on any social media without seeing 'stepmother' comments which is fucked since he's still underage and no one's talking about how even if they did have sex it isn't legal. And she most definitely isn't the reason Sage repetitively blames himself over the fact his entire maid staff got fired.
