A Good Girl.

Part 10:

I woke up to a silent house, maybe it was because Elizabeth hasn't woken up yet but still, it was a bit nerve wrecking knowing that what happened between us just led to an awkward atmosphere.

I groaned before I walked to the bathroom to prepare for my return to school, it turned out that I missed a lot of classes but a few teachers were willing to help me catch up since I'll be writing one of my tests on Monday. So all in all, that meant that I'll be the only one staying behind from today until Saturday, hooray to me.

I walked out of my bedroom and into the kitchen to make some food and lunch before I leave, I know that I didn't have to pack lunch but knowing that I'd be staying behind, I needed something to fill my stomach. I took out some cereal and milk even if it wasn't the kind of breakfast I was in the mood for, it would do. I started eating before a slight pain shot up and that only reminded me of my pills, at least I had a reminder. It was still early but it was better to go than to be stuck in Elizabeth's house waiting for an awkward moment to bloom between us.

I walked out of the house, remembering to take the key that Elizabeth gave me for her house and left. It has never happened to me though, someone as hot as Elizabeth to kiss me like that, or to be kissed at all. I had to respect that it was never going to happen with her but it does not mean that it won't happen with anyone else, but I didn't want it to happen with anyone else though but hell, it didn't matter anymore.

I finally arrived at school and went to the one place I found peace in, the library. It wasn't just the books that were on there that made me feel at home but it was also the building itself, it stood tall holding up a thousand lives each of them lived within the pages of a good book, and let's be honest nothing came close to that feeling of reading a good book.

I walked down the aisle remembering the day I met Kacy, I wondered if she had heard the rumours yet but it didn't matter any more maybe it was for the best that she stayed away from me, I couldn't drag her into something she didn't know about or rather, she didn't need to know about. I shouldn't have went to that party, if only I had known that it was going to happen and the problem was, nothing happened but because people are idiots, everyone believed that it did. I just need a fresh start, a new-

"Caldera!" Someone shouted, pulling me out of my thoughts before tackling me in a hug, "I have missed you well not really missed you but I have missed us hanging out and stuff but still i-"

"You can stop talking now Kacy, 'cause I missed hanging out with you too. Although I would have figured you would have heard some stuff about me now." I said and pulled out a book before walking to the nearest table.

"I have, but I prefer to hear them from you. Not everything is the truth you know," she sits down and leans forward, looking at me with the most intimidating interest I have ever seen. "Plus, I know what it feels like to have rumours about you being spread like wild fire."

"Really?" I asked sitting down.

"Yeah, I got transferred twice because of them. The first time was in tenth grade and the second one, well this year. I'm pretty much hoping that they stay there because I'm looking for a fresh start." She let out a soft chuckle and I smiled.

"Maybe one day we'll share."

"Yeah, one day."

We sat in silence and not the one that I usually had with other people, this one was comfortable, like we've known each other for a while. I was trying to get some studying done while she, well, she was doing something I didn't know shooting glances at me from time to time. I looked up to catch her staring at me, I closed my book and looked at her.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, I was just wondering where you've been."

"I've been at the hospital."
