[POV: June]
WORKING IS THE DEFINITION OF ANXIETY. I knew it was hard, but I didn't expect it to have me crying and shaking in a bathroom. Even though I was doing good, I still feel pressured. Not from Heyward, just by myself.
It's hard to explain I guess, hopefully you get what I'm talking about. I just have a hard time socializing with people, I get nervous around them almost fearing that I'll fuck things up with them. John B's friends are all outgoing, they made me feel outgoing too, when we all hang out they just go crazy.
I stood up from the bathroom's floor, stepping in front of mirror to take a look at myself. My eyes were already puffed up, my cheeks red as a tomato and my fingers had began to hurt over how hard I had been poking them.
I took water on my hands, splashing the liquid on my face to try and clean my tears. A slight knock startled me, making me turn towards the door.
June: "There's someone in here!" -I shouted, grabbing some paper towels quickly.
Kayla: "Yeah it's just me! Are you okay?"
I sighed, trying my best to calm down to try not worrying, Kayla. I grabbed the door handle opening slightly, seeing the girl's expression filled with worried thoughts surrounding it.
June: "I'm okay, what's up?" -I asked, making her cross her arms, almost annoyed.
Kayla: "Stop lying to me, June. I've known you my entire life, I know when you're happy. And I especially know when you're sad. So, what's up?"
My hands kept trembling rapidly, only for me to place them behind my waist so Kayla, wouldn't notice.
June: "I'm fine, let's just get back to work, alright?" -I said, smiling at the girl making her sigh.
Kayla: "Alright, but you better tell me what's going on with you after."
She demanded, pointing her index finger at me in between her sentence. We walked over to the main part of the shop, seeing Topper and Sarah, inside. Almost making me instantly see Kayla's smile dropping.
Kayla: "Shit." -she mumbled, docking down quickly.
I stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. But as soon as I was about to speak to Sarah, I was pulled down by, Kayla.
June: "What the hell are you doing?!" -I whispered, the girl closed her eyes shut trying to breathe.
Kayla: "I don't want to talk to neither of them, first she stops being friends with me. Then soon after, out of literally nowhere starts dating MY brother."
The girl peeked seeing the pair, speaking to another girl that worked at the shop. I stood beside her, peeking as well to see what could the two be ordering.
