We arrive at school and as we walk down the main hall, everyone has their eyes on us. At the end of the hall is Olivia and her two friends, we stop walking.Olivia glares at Tom, and I can tell she emanates hatred just by looking at her. She soon extends her arm, with her cell phone in hand pointing in our direction.

—What do you have to say about that, you always told me she wouldn't be a problem.

What Olivia shows us is a picture of me and Tom at the village market. I was pretty sure it wasn't a coincidence that I found Lucy, I'm sure she was the one who took this picture.

—This photo doesn't prove anything, like a photo of two people in line at the supermarket proves that there's something going on between us, spare me Olivia, I thought you were smarter.

—How do you still have the nerve to talk to me, since you've been trying to destroy our relationship since you arrived.

—Ahaha, destroy your relationship? It's not my fault that you lack trust and honesty in your relationship. We're just friends, if you don't like your boyfriend having friends and you can't be able to trust him, that's your problem.

Suddenly, everyone who was there started to receive a notification on their cell phone.I pull my cell phone out of my pocket and have a notification from the school's student forum. I unlock the screen and when I enter the forum I see the anonymous post, which has a photo of Olivia with one of the football team players.

—I think our relationship is really over isn't it, how sad. Olivia says sarcastically, pushing her way through the crowd towards the main exit where Jack, the boy in the picture, is walking out.

—What are you all looking at? There are no classes to attend, the show is over. — Tom addresses the crowd. He's a little furious.This subject and with the photos circulating, ends up tarnishing his reputation. Ah, but I can't believe that Olivia created this lame plan, she just spread our photo to ease the situation of her being with someone else. When least expected this girl surprises us.Tom grabbed his bag and stormed out the door, I'm going after him, when Harry grabs my wrist, telling me not to follow him.—You'd better not follow him, he needs some alone time, I'm sure that's what he wants."But will he really be better off alone, maybe he needs someone he can talk to.—I'm sorry Harry, but our staying here, he might need to talk to someone to talk to, I can't leave him alone.I say turning my back, running quickly towards the exit in an attempt to still maybe catch up with him.I can see him already at the end of the street.—Tom! — I shout to get his attention. — Tom, wait!A rumbling noise, and a horn fills my ears.—No, my god, it can't be. —I run to the unconscious body lying in the middle of the road.A white-bearded man gets out of the truck and runs towards us.—Please help, we need an ambulance. — I say as tears roll down my face.This cannot be happening. If only I had hurried, and warned him sooner.
