Cliche

Chapter 4

I wake up and do the usual routine of getting dressed and leaving for school. I ate an apple before leaving to avoid running into Caleb after Starbucks. The walk to school is quicker and I get there before Valerie and Blake. I head to the school library. I usually only go to the library when I have to but today I wanted to. There are few people that actually go to the library so there is never over 10 people there. I sit in a corner and go onto Instagram. The librarians don't like people being on their phones but I don't really care. They can't do anything to affect my grades. I scroll through Instagram and notice there is a comment on my photo from over 30 weeks ago. I don't post photos anymore so this was unusual. It was from Caleb. It read: No wonder your father left I would to if I was him and had you as a daughter. I felt tears coming. I took a deep breath. How did he know about my father? Did Valerie tell him? If so why would he say something like that? Even though I tried to act like the divorce didn't affect me that me it did. It was a dark time for me. One that I don't want to go back to, and that was so hard to do. I rub my hand on my thigh as I stumbled into the library bathroom. I was falling into that black hole that I had tried so hard to get out of.

Then the tears came. I knew he was a bad idea but I didn't think he could get so low. I lock myself in the bathroom stall. I couldn't stop the pain. It hurt so much. From someone I barely knew. The tears stopped eventually. I was being silly letting one stupid comment get to me? So stupid. I still decided on skipping school so I took my backpack and left without anyone noticing. When I get home I go straight to my room. I change into my pyjamas and curl up in my bed. I can here the voices in my head coming back. They started as whispers and now it's like they're yelling at me. The tears come down continuously. I stagger into the bathroom. It was happening again. I stopped myself. Suddenly, my sadness was replaced with anger. I let it get to me again. I washed my face and sat back down on my bed. I wanted to revenge and I was going to get it.

I texted Valerie and told her to come over after school. I had a plan but I was going to need help. She replied with an ok and a question about me not being at school. I ignored it.

For the rest of the day I just hung around. My mum called after the school called her asking where I was. I lied and told her that I hadn't felt well and came home. She sighed but didn't care. Valerie knocked on the door and I ran downstairs and opened the door.
"Come in quick," I said pulling Valerie into my room. She put her bag down and sat on my bed.
"Where were you today?" Valerie asked with her explain face on.
"Well I went to school but after I saw a certain comment from some one on Instagram I decided to come home." I showed her the comment. Valerie pulled me in for a hug. Valerie didn't know about my past with depression but she did know how sensitive the subject of my father was for me.
"Are you okay?" Valerie questioned.
"Yeah. I'm fine," I lied. She didn't need to worry about my break down. It was a stupid thing anyway. One comment from a loser and I broke down. How weak.
"Are you sure it was him? It doesn't sound like something he would say," Valerie stressed, "Besides how would he know?"
"I don't know but I know that I am getting revenge."
"Are you sure about that? He seems so nice."
"Well he clearly isn't. I have a plan and it's going to need your help."
I explain the plan to Valerie and despite her worrying she agrees to help. I was excited. This is how Caleb is going down.

Hey guys!
So this chapter has taken me ages to do and I apologise. I ended up deleting my first draft and writing this one. I hope you liked it and if you did please vote and in the comments let me know what you think Alex's plan is. I love you all!
