Healing closed wounds

Part 4 - annoyed

~ALICE'S POV~

Miles parks in the schools parking lot 10 minutes after finishing breakfast. Nolan, Miles and I get out and begin walking into school.

"Hey are you okay Aly?" Miles looks down at me.

"Uh yea why wouldn't I be?" I look at him and then back down to stare at the ground.

"Oh uh nothing you just don't look yourself." I shake my head and laugh.

"Yea cause I'm not wearing makeup." I say sarcastically.

"Ha ha so funny." Nolan says back.

"You look fine without makeup it's not that deep" miles says making Nolan and I stare at him.

"What?" He says making me stop and look up at him.

"That's not the point miles. It's the fact he acts as if he can walk into the house whenever he wants and boss me around." I say sternly.

"He's trying Aly. He's had a hard time these past couple of years." I roll my eyes and look at Nolan. He shrugs.

"And we haven't?!" I say loudly.

"That's-" he takes a breath. "That's not what I meant." I shake my head unbelievably.

"Yea whatever I'm gonna be late for class." I shake my head and walk away from them.

"ALY!" I hear Miles yell but I don't turn around to face him.

He doesn't understand. Yes dad had a hard time coping but so did we. Dad doesn't yell at the boys the way he does to me, and I don't know why.

"Hey Aly!" I look up to see Eleanor waving. I wave back. "Hey Elle."

I Walk up to Eleanor, Hazel, and Luna as they go through their lockers.

Our lockers are all near each others which is such a miracle. I open mine putting some of my books in there for later. I like having my bag light, it's easier for me to carry around.

"What's that?" Luna closes her locker and looks at me as I put the makeup bag Harper gave me inside my locker.

"Harp gave me a makeup bag for school." Everyone gives me a questionable look.

"Dad doesn't approve." I turn back towards my locker to look at my mirror as I apply my mascara. I should probably do this in the washroom but I don't have time for that.

"When does he ever approve of anything?" Hazel snorts. Luna and Eleanor both nod agreeing. I sigh.

"I remember back in 6th grade he wouldn't let us have a sleepover and he wouldn't even give us an explanation." Luna adds rolling her eyes.

"And then he grounded you." Hazel shuts her locker and leans against it.

I finish my eyelashes and I begin putting the mascara away. "I know. He's barely around too and then shows up out of the blue and acts like he owns the place." If I'm begin honest, Grayson takes care of us more than dad ever did.

"I mean he kinda does.. but that doesn't mean he can act like that. Sorry Aly." Luna hugs me. I hug her back.

"Sorry to break your little girly support group but we have to get to class." I let go of Luna and turn around to see Graham, Ricky, and Archy standing behind us.

I close my locker and turn back around to see everyone staring at me. "What?" I say annoyed.

"Nothing." Ricky says.

"Okay let's get to class then?" I grab Lunas arm since she's the closest to me and I begin walking.

"Why was everyone staring at me." I whisper into her ear.

She laughs. "You're that oblivious?" I look at her and laugh a little, "what is it?"

"Graham. He was going to say something and you turn around. He def likes you." She winks at me.

"Yea no. I don't like Graham." I say back.

"Mhm sure thing Al." I slightly shove her and we both laugh.

Luna, Ricky and I are all in the same home room. We split it from the rest of the group and begin walking to class.

"So there's this new girl Victoria and she's in our home room. I want to introduce you guys to her. She just moved here so she needs friends. I was hoping you two could maybe talk to her?" Ricky looks at Luna and I.

I shrug. "I guess that's fine." I look at luna and she shrugs as well.

"Okay thank you guys." Ricky sighs.

"How do you know her?" I ask suddenly curious.

"Oh she's my cousin. She just moved and she doesn't have many friends at this school." I nod.

"So she has friends?" I ask.

"Yes but like I said not many. I want her to know more people Yk?" I nod slowly.

"I guess."
