Chapter 2.

It was 11:30, lunch had just begun.

It was time to meet up with Ms. Kelley, the counsellor, or as Y/n liked to call her, The Overbearing Counselor.

'Here we stand'

'Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two'

'Sleepless nights'

'Losin' ground, I'm reachin' for you, you, you'

The voice of Journey echoed on both sides of Y/n's ears, letting her completely zone out and forget that she's to walk into her inevitable doom.

aka, Ms. Kelley's office.

'Feelin' that it's gone'

'Can change your mind, if we can't go on to survive the tide, love divides'

'Some day, love will find you'

'Break those chains that bind you'

'One night will remind you how we touched and went our separate ways'

Y/n had sauntered pass a group of guys, particularly jocks who were loitering the halls and all around being annoying jocks that they were. One jock, to Y/n's unfortunates, made eye-contact with her.

It was a tall blonde-haired guy, with a set of straight pearly white teeth and blue eyes, who beamed at having been noticed by a cheerleader — more so, Chrissy Cunningham's other half.

The boys cheeks flushed as his mouth hesitantly opened, "L — Looking pretty as ever, Y/n!"

Y/n's loud music couldn't block out the boys comment, which made her internally groan but because of the kind person she is — she gave the boy a fake but convincing smile.

The blonde boy's friends all laughed boyishly as they all pushed at him in some sort of a victory upon having their friend be noticed.

'If he ever hurts you'

'True love won't desert you'

'You know I still love you'

'Though we touched and went our separate ways'

Y/n sighed as she stood in front of Ms. Kelley's office door before she then turned the handle and opened it, earning the older woman's attention.

Y/n's eyes drifted to the floor as she closed the wooden door behind her, making her way towards the leather seat that was placed in front of the organized wooden desk.

'Troubled time caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain'

'Distant eyes'

'Promises we made were in vain, in vain, vain'

'If you must go, I wish you love'

'You'll never walk alone, take care my love. Miss you love'

"Can you remove your headphones, please?" Ms. Kelley kindly asked, though sounding muffled to Y/n.

'Some day love will find you'

'Break those chains that bind you'

'One night will remi—'

Y/n quickly removed her headphones after Ms. Kelley had pointed at her ears.

"Sorry." Y/n quickly apologized, letting the headphones hang loosely around her neck, stopping her music.

"A C in English and a C- in Spanish—" Ms. Kelley began reading off Y/n's report card, "That's not normal for you." Ms. Kelley pointed out, clasping her hands over one-another.
