erica

It's been about a month since my breakdown in the cafeteria.

looking back it was so fucking dramatic. like why did I even care about what those people had to say about me. It's not like they matter to me. none of them do.

my friends matter and corbyn matters.

oh corbyn. how I love corbyn so fucking much. there isn't a day that goes by that I don't stop and appreciate him and all his beauty.

he hasn't been at school a few days but that's because he hasn't been feeling well. I still go to his house and see him and bring him soup. talk for hours with saskia and ashley of course.

though corbyn hasn't been eating the soup I bring. I don't know if whatever sickness he has is not making him hungry or it's not the sickness I originally thought

corbyn fell into this same state about a year ago when things were really bad with his dad. he wouldn't eat or talk to anyone, not even me.

but things have been good so I'm not sure this is the same case. his dad being back has been weird but, last I heard from corbyn, he was behaving.

I just left his room and walked downstairs where ashley is sitting at the table eating cereal before going to school.

"hey ash" I said all cheery

"hey erica, how's he doing?"

"funny I was gonna ask you the same thing. I don't think I fully understand what's going on with him"

"no one does" she says putting her bowl in the sink and walking back upstairs.

hm. how does his only family not know what's going on.

anyways I head to school and go through the boring stuff of my new subjects and all things school related until it was lunch.

"sierra you know we're not all science geeks like yourself right?" alyssa says as we sit outside under a tree. we tend to do this a lot as the weather gets nicer.

"I know I just want to be sure it's right"

"What even is it" Julia asked taking the paper from Sierras hands

"It's some stupid assignment that my teacher gave me last minute and is stressing me out cause it's worth a lot of my grade"

"let me guess, Ms. Miller? she's famous for that" luna says taking a bite of her food

"ugh I hate that I'm stuck with her for the rest of the year"

we all start to take out our food and we see the guys, minus corbyn, approach us.

"ladies, how're we feeling with the new semester" jack says taking a seat next to alyssa

"just great, you know. I've got Ms. miller as my fucking science teacher, what could be better" Sierra says aggressively shoving her textbook back in her bag.

"forget I asked" sierra says nothing and just glares at jack

from afar, I see a familiar figure walking towards the front of the school.

"corbyn?"

"oh erica we get it. you miss corbyn, but unless you have some magical soup that you've been giving him, he won't be here anytime soon" Julia says annoyed. she has every right, I kinda haven't shut up about missing him.

"yea by the way he was telling me how he felt, that boy isn't getting better any time soon" Jonah said

"no guys I just saw him walk in the school" I say getting up and walking towards the school myself.

"poor girl is seeing things now" I hear luna say from a distance.

I walk in the school and first check where his locker is, and I see him standing there grabbing his hoodie. I walk toward him and call out to him making my presence known.

"hey, I didn't think you'd be at school for a while" I say hugging him

"oh hey, yea I was feeling better today so I thought why not. that soup you brought must've done wonders"

"but you didn't eat any of the soup I brought. and you don't even feel warm or look sick at all. is everything ok?"

"why're you interrogating me. everything's fine, I'm good now don't worry" he says kissing my head right after.

"I'll see you after school. I'll drive you home" he says walking away.

ok that was weird. or maybe I'm just paranoid I don't know.

...

the rest of the day goes by quick, thankfully. boy can I not wait to get out of here.

I go to find corbyn because he was gonna drive me home and I see him with the rest of the guys on football team, including brett. I see the two of them laughing about something. odd.

"glad to see you two are friends now" I say approaching but brett and corbyn.

"babe, this guy right here, funniest guy I've ever met. you have to tell her what you told me" corbyn says wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Maybe another time, my mom had been on my ass all day about getting the groceries after school so I better go. I'll see you love birds later tonight" he says doing a hand shake with corbyn and tapping me on the shoulder.

"what's later?" I ask turning directly infront of corbyn.

"the pep rally. you know the big qualifying game. tell me you forgot"

"how could I forget that, the cheerleaders have been talking about it non stop"

"mmm does that mean I get to see my sexy girlfriend in her little cheerleading outfit tonight" he says pulling me closer by the waist.

"damn right, and maybe you'll get a reward if you win"

"lucky me" he says pulling me in for a kiss

"gross, get a room" alyssa says as the rest of the group comes beside us.

"so she wasn't lying, you really are here" daniel says hitting corbyn on the back

"last I checked, yea"

we all walk out of the school and branch off to go to the cars we came in. I get in corbyns car and we leave the school.

"you want a coffee or anything before I bring you home?" he says as he puts his hand on my thigh.

"mmm maybe, but I'm paying." I say as I get out my card. Corbyn snatches it out of my hand and giggles

"your funny if you think that's happening"

"corbyn-"

"my treat. end of discussion" he says smiling at me. and that's all it took and I caved.

I'm not gonna lie guys, I kinda lost my passion for this story once the boys separated.

But my love for this story and Corbyn of course have prevailed and I'm going to continue. The best I can❤️
