It was Monday again. I hated Monday's, but I didn't mind it.
I got up to my alarm, getting ready for school. Dylan had took Delaney to school and Marcus used his parents' car so I was alone. I got Delaney's keys and my stuff and drove to school.
I walked in and went straight to Marcus.
"Hey you." Marcus said, kissing me.
"Hi." I said.
Just then, Lynette and Branden came over to us.
"Did you guys see the new girl?" Lynette asked.
"No." I said.
"She's absolutely beautiful dude. Her name's Chanel. She transferred from Canada or something because she's apparently a model." She said.
"Wow." I said.
"Oh God she's coming over to us." Branden said.
"Hello guys. I'm Chanel. I just moved here." Chanel said.
"Hi Chanel. I'm Zoey. This is Marcus, Lynette, and Branden." I said.
"Nice to meet you all." She said.
"I gotta go to my locker, class is almost starting." I said.
Marcus pulled me in and kissed me, Chanel gave me a look.
Bitch what?
I pretended I didn't see it and went to my locker, grabbing my things as Marcus walked with me to our first hour.
Chanel walked in all dramatically. I guess it was a preppy type of girl thing. She sat right in front of Marcus.
"Are you guys dating?" Chanel asked.
"Yes, we are." Marcus said.
"Oh wow. I would've never thought you would date someone like her. No offense Zoey." She said.
"None taken." I said, finishing my notes.
"Wait... is your last name Rivera?" She asked.
"Uh. Yeah. Why?" I asked.
"Have you ever talked to an officer named Chad? Chad Daniels?" She asked.
"Um. Not that it's any of your concern but yes I have." I said.
"Ohh so you were the mental kid he talked to." She said.
"Can you keep your voice down? Please?" I asked.
"Sorry. What was it like there?" She asked.
"None of your concern." I said.
"Just let her focus on her work Chanel." Marcus said.
Thank you Marcus. I loved him deeply for that.
After our first hour I got my stuff for History, making my way to Lynette until Chanel stopped me.
"It may only be my first day but I can tell Marcus will grow to me." Chanel said.
"You can try. I've known Marcus since he was in a diaper. We're both pretty attached." I said.
"He shouldn't be dating you. You're mental. You're psycho. You belong in that hospital." She said.
"We don't fucking speak of that Chanel. You better keep your God damn mouth shut too." I said.
I walked away over to Lynette. We walked into History. I thanked God I sat by Lynette. Marcus then texted me.
Marcus: What did Chanel say in the hallway?
Me: Nothing. She was just apologizing for earlier.
Marcus: Bull.
Me: I'll tell you at lunch.
I put my phone down, getting through the rest of my classes. Most of them were with Chanel.
I got to lunch, putting my stuff in my locker as Chanel came up to me.
"So, I'm gonna give you an option." Chanel said.
"I'll politely decline." I said.
"Either you leave Marcus alone or I'll tell everyone about you." She said.
I stopped.
"Best get that breakup speech ready." She said.
I started walking again, going to lunch. Now I had no fucking idea what to do. I couldn't have everyone knowing I wasn't at school for 2 months because I overdosed.
"Hey babe." Marcus said, kissing me.
"Hi." I said.
"Alright. What's going on?" He asked.
"Chanel told me to leave you or she's gonna tell everyone why I was gone for 2 months." I said.
"You need to go to her dad about this." He said.
I remember him calling Delaney's phone.
I went right to Delaney.
"I need your phone." I said.
"Okay, what for?" Delaney asked.
"I'll explain everything when we get home." I said.
Delaney handed me her phone and I looked for his number and found his from the day I talked to him.
"Hello. This is Chad." He answered.
"Hi Chad. This is Zoey. I talked to you awhile back about my parents." I said.
"Hello Zoey. What's going on?" He asked.
"So, your daughter.. Chanel." I said.
"Oh God what did she do now?" He asked.
"Um. She knows about my trip to the mental hospital and she's threatening to tell everyone and I can't have her tell anyone." I said.
"I didn't even tell her about it. I'm not supposed to share that stuff. She must've looked through my files." He said.
"Can you please talk to her?" I asked.
"Of course I can. Thank you for telling me Zoey. I'll let you know what happens. Can I have your original number in case?" He asked.
I told him my number and he got it down.
"Alright. Have a good day." He said.
"You too." I said, hanging up.
I handed Delaney her phone back, going to the table with Branden, Lynette, and Mary.
"I'm in so much shit." I said.
"That Chanel girl is a bitch." Mary said.
"No shit. She's threatening to tell everyone about my trip to the hospital." I said.
"Dude that's so fucked up. She saw my arms and shit and told me I was psycho and I should've died." She said.
"That girl is so messed up." I said.
I was finally fucking happy and someone just had to tear it up.
