Monday

I walk into school with my anxiety going through the roof. I've been on edge about everything since Saturday's events and I can't get it out of my head. I couldn't believe my dad would do that to my mom, it broke my heart to be honest. I thought they loved each other, and I mean really loved each other.

They've been together since they were in high school and they've known each other since they were six. In my eyes, they were the power couple that made me believe love was real. Yet, I don't understand why my mom thinks she should stay with him after what he did. They acted like nothing happened on Sunday and it made me really upset.

"Marina!" My friend Stella calls from down the hall.

"Uh, hey!" I force a smile and she walks towards me.

"You look tired." She gives me a sympathetic look and I glare at her.

"Thanks." I huff and begin walking down the hall with her following next to me. I didn't sleep at all last night due to the screaming and yelling from my parents.

"What's your first period again?"

"P.E."

"That sucks!" She laughs," Don't you get all sweaty and shit?"

"Not really, I don't do the hard core stuff. We just play badminton and other BS the whole time."

"Lucky," she says as we arrive at the gym, "in my P.E class we run like 50 miles a day."

I laugh at her exaggeration and latch on to the door handle, "I'll see you in 3rd, I have to go change."

"Alright, have fun playing badminton." She grumbles and walks away. I chuckle to myself and swing open the locker room door, making my way (downtown) to my locker. I pop it open after putting in the code, grabbing my shorts and shirt for class.

After I change, that's when girls started coming in and being loud as fuck. I don't like any of the girls in my P.E class because they're all bitches.

I only hang out with Sammy in first period because he's the only one I know. In the beginning of the year, most of the girls tried to get with him 24/7, especially the freshmen; but it eventually died down after they got the message he didn't want any of them.

"Hey, Mar." Sammy playfully nudges my shoulder and I smile up at him.

"Hey, Samuel."

"Here." He hands me a racket and I thank him, grabbing it from his grip. "So," he stands up straight, "thanks for letting us crash at your place this weekend."

"It was no problem, luckily you guys left when you did because my parents came home around 12." My breath slightly hitches at the mention of my parents, but he doesn't seem to notice.

"That's good, I wouldn't want you guys getting in trouble for that. But Hunter kept complaining about how you didn't sleep in bed with him the night."

"Oh, Jesus." I pinch the bridge of my nose and shake my head.

"So, instead of falling asleep with your own boyfriend, you fell asleep with Gilisnky?" He playfully smiles at me.

"We had cereal, watched a movie, then fell asleep. I didn't mean to fall asleep there, I was just super tired."

"Sure," Sam teases, "all the ladies want Gilinsky, don't deny it."

"I have a boyfriend, Samuel." I smack his arm and he chuckles.

"That hasn't stopped many girls from going after him." He shrugs and the teacher gets everyone's attention.

"Alright, so look on the board to see who your team is playing against. Then go to your stations." He yells over everyone while Sammy and I go to check who we're playing against.

Sammy and Marina - Jacob and Denis.

"Really?" I groan.

"I'll be there, don't worry." Sammy puts an arm around my shoulders and we walk over to an open net.

"Hey, hot stuff." Jacob walks over with the racket resting on his shoulder and Denis right behind him. (Denis is a girl).

"Fuck off, Jacob." I roll my eyes and grab the birdie from below me, passing it to Sammy.

"Why can't you take a compliment, hun?" He asks and gets in his spot, right across from me.

"Not from your ugly ass."

"Aw, come on. Don't be like that now."

"She doesn't like you, dude, fuck off before I beat your ass." Sammy snaps and Jacob glares at him.

"Whatever floats your boat, Sam."

11:20 am

"Hey, baby." Hunter slings his arm around me.

"Hey." I mutter and continue walking to the cafeteria.

"You okay? You seem out of it today."

"I'm fine, now let me go get lunch." I push off his arm and get in the lunch line.

"Marina?"

"What?"

"Are you mad about Friday night, baby?" He pouts.

"I'm a little pissed that you would complain about it to Jack and Sammy. It's not a big deal, you're over reacting."

"Sorry I got mad that my girlfriend would prefer sleeping with someone else and not me. You know how girls are around Jack, babe. I've seen it many times where girls ditch their boyfriends to be with him." He says and I let out a huge sigh.

"You don't trust me, Hunter."

"I do, I just don't trust Jack."

"He's nothing but a friend, baby. Stop worrying please." I put my hand on his cheek and smile at him.

"Alright, and I do trust you. I've just seen it happen a lot to my boys and I-"

"It won't happen to you, okay?"

"Okay. I'm gonna go sit at the table." He kisses my cheek and leaves me to get my lunch.

11:35 am

"Stella! Can I have some of your ketchup?" I ask and she nods, sliding her tray towards me. I dip my french fry in it and take a bite. I see a group of guys walking towards our table through the corner of my eye.

"Hey, guys." Gilinsky says and sits down next to me. Sammy and Johnson both sit down around the table as well.

"Hey." I respond, "What are you guys doing here?"

"We felt like sitting with you guys." Sam says and takes one of my fries.

Hunter discretely glares at Jack since he's sitting next to me.

I lean over to him and whisper "Stop." He just rolls his eyes and goes back to eating his food.

I look over at Jack as he reaches for my fries.

"Hey, piggy." I joke and he smiles at me, showing his white teeth, shoving a fry into his mouth. He drops his hand, which rubs over the top of my thigh, then lands on his leg. I snap my attention up at his gaze and he's smirking.
