Looks may be deceiving-Robby Keene

Counterbalance

The next couple of weeks had gone by quickly for Amelia. She had been avoiding Sam because of everything that Sam had said about her to Kyler. Saying that Amelia had gained weight and saying what a high school bitch Amelia was. Amelia was at a place where she was fed up with it.

However, she had been sad that she hadn't seen Robby at all lately. Everyday at lunch she waited to see if he would be there, but no avail. 

Amelia heard a honk outside, signaling that Moon ad Yasmine were here. They were going to a concert, one Sam originally had been invited too. But after her latest bit of shit-talking, Yasmine and Moon had also been ghosting her. 

Amelia got into Moon's car, sitting in the back. "I feel kinda bad about ghosting Sam," Moon confessed as she drove. Yasmine scoffed, "I don't. She would be nothing without us." 
"I just don't understand why she would shit talk us to Kyler of all people," Amelia added. 
"Whatever, we don't need her. We were a great trio without her before," Yasmine added. 

The trio soon arrived at the concert, taking a few videos and posting them. Not caring if Sam saw them or not.

Amelia once again found her in the back of Moon's car with Yasmine and Moon, a pipe being shared between them. Amelia took a hit, laughing slightly as she blew it out. She was clearly no stranger to smoking, but weed was different. She loved how lose it made her feel. 
"My mom gave me this weed for my birthday, and she said its like lower in calories or something," Moon said as she lit the pipe. "Perfect for you then Mia," Yasmine had said. 
Amelia just gave a laugh, the comment going straight over her head. 

"Oh great, a homeless person, look," 
Mia looked up, seeing the 'gimmie money' sign she was holding. "I feel bad not looking at her," Moon said, putting the pipe down, before she panicked. "Oh my god. We just made eye contact." 
Amelia looked up a bit more before crouching back down. "Shit, what do we do?" She asked. 
"Just take out your phone and act like you're texting."
A knock on the window made Amelia jump. "Hey! Open up and give me money!" 
"Oh my god", Moon whispered. Mia looked over to see the women finger tapping the window. "I ain't gonna hurt ya," 
"Lock the doors." 
"Then we will look bad, doing that right in front of her!"
"Well if you want her to hop in this back seat with me and slice our throats then be my guess," Amelia had said. 
Just as Moon had reached for the locks, the back door opened causing all the girls to scream, and Amelia to push herself to the other side of the back seat. 

Amelia looked up to see Sam climb in the back. Amelia gasped after screaming. "What the fuck Sam!?", she exclaimed, hand over her heart, feeling the rapid beating. 
"Seriously! What the hell Sam?"
"We thought you were a poor person!"

"Why have you guys been avoiding me?" she asked. 
"Why do you think? Kyler told us what you said," Amelia responded. 
"Wait, what did he say?"
"I didn't take notes, but pretty much that you think you're better then us."
"You were no one before we let you in," Yasmine added. 
"You didn't even electricize" Moon said. 
"I never said a word about any of you. That's not what went down." 

Yasmine laughed, "Oh, Kyler told us what went down. And who went down."
"At the movie theatre, that's yucky,"
Sam looked at the two girls in the front, then at Mia, hoping she would back her up, 
"Whatever Kyler told you was a lie."
"Sam just say you're sorry and we can all be friends again," 
"Or don't, and get the hell out of Moon's car"
Sam looked at the three girls before glaring at Amelia. "Enjoy puking out your burritos Mia," 
With that Sam got out of the car, leaving the door open. "Hey! Don't leave it open, you're going to get us killed!" Amelia shouted, slamming the door shut after Sam. 

That's when Moon turned back around to face Amelia. "Wait. You've been purging and not telling me?"
In a panic, Amelia looked at her two friends who were staring lasers into her. "No, Sam is full of shit. I guess dick isn't the only thing she's full of." 
Yasmine laughed at this comment, "I have just the way to fix this," 

~~~

The next day was like almost all the others. Amelia sitting with Yasmine and Moon, but this time, there was no Sam. Amelia was pissed off, but mostly hurt about Sam's purging comment. After all, Amelia didn't do anything wrong. Sam was talking shit and was paying the price for it right?
Amelia looked as Sam walked in, holding her tray of food. She walked towards their table, which Yasmine caught onto and swiftly moved her bag onto the empty seat that was formerly Sam's. 

Amelia was then a bit stunned to see Sam angerly walk up to Kyler, tapping his back to get his attention. 
"You think it's funny to spread lies about me?"
"What are you talking about? We saw a movie, and that's it. Well, maybe I saw a little bit more then you"
"Yeah, we heard you got pretty chocked up," 

The next moments seemed to flash before Amelia's eyes. Sam had hit Kyler's tray to the ground, followed by another one of Kyler's idiotic comments. Then Miguel and Kyler started fighting in the middle of the cafeteria. With surprisingly, Miguel kicking Kyler and his friends asses. Amelia watched in shock as Miguel have Kyler a beat down with a lunch tray, once caused everyone in the cafeteria to clap. Amelia, too stunned to speak followed the crowd. 

"What the fuck just happened?", she asked Moon. 
"I don't even know."

Amelia had been taking a walk around town. Her parents were arguing and things were starting to get tense, so she needed to slip away. She knew the car would be too obvious, so she was left walking. Once she didn't mind. She liked how walks kept her grounded, she had Queen blasting in her ears as she ran into someone. 

"Jesus! Will you watch where you are going?", the guy exclaimed. 
Amelia looked up, taking her headphones out, scoffing when she saw who it was. "You ran into me pretty boy," 
Robby looked up at the nickname only one called him. His gaze softened. "Sorry,", was all he said. "It's fine. Are you alright? Why haven't you been in school?" 
"I dropped out."
Amelia scoffed. "We are sophomores," 
"Doesn't matter. My moms cool with it." 

Amelia nodded. "Are you alright?"
Robby nodded, "I'm fine. You?"
"Oh yeah, I'm cool, cool, cool, fun, fun, fun," 
Robby nodded as Amelia and him sat on a nearby bench. Amelia pulling out her smokes and Robby handing her a lighter. "Thanks," she mumbled as she lit it. 

The duo sat in silence for a few minutes, passing the cigarette back and forth. "Let me see your phone," 
"What? Why?"
"Just do it,"
Robby fished his phone out of his pocket, handing it to the brunette. Amelia went to his contacts and put her contact information in. 

"Since you won't be in school anymore, doesn't mean we shouldn't talk. So text me sometime,"
Amelia put her smoke out with her boot. "See you around pretty boy," 
"Bye Millie,"
