My mother has been back for three days and she has kept asking me if I was okay. Why? I don't even know why. I'm completely fine.

Eating an apple for my breakfast as usual for the last two weeks has been my usual breakfast.

I walked downstairs in my oversized clothes that I was wearing since I didn't feel like getting dressed. I just threw some clothes on. It was just some Nike sweatpants and a white bodysuit and a thrown over white Nike sweat jacket.

"Hey mija, you want some eggs?" She asked.

"No thanks mamá I had an apple" I said.

"But you always eat my eggs" she pouted.

"Sorry I'm just not that hungry, maybe tomorrow" I said.

Before she said anything I went back upstairs and slid on my nike slides and sprayed my bath and body works 'champagne toast' perfume I shut my bedroom door and walked back down stairs.

When I got back downstairs I saw my mother feeding Pebbles and Mocha some eggs since I guess she already finished hers and I was 'full' to be able to eat mine.

"Goodbye Mocha, goodbye Pebbles" I said, petting them before walking out the front door.

I waited about five minutes in the car before my mom got in. She had to stop by her shop in town anyway after she dropped me off. When she arrived at the school we said our byes before I left the car and went inside. It was almost seven so I just went into the cafeteria.

Alessio was the only one at the table which surprised me. Usually Silas and Alessio are at school together because if one isn't here neither is the other.

I walked over and sat at the end of the table. I immediately felt the awkward silence.

"Hey Gabriela" Alessio said, still looking down at his phone.

"Hey" I mumbled.

He looked up from his phone squinting his eyes.

"You o-" Alessio started but I cut him off.

"Where is Silas?" I asked.

"He had to go on a trip with his dad for the Black industries" He said.

"Oh okay" I said and stood up from the table.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm going to walk around the school until the bell rings" I said.

"Want me to come with you?" He said.

I shook my head no, grabbing my bag "No thanks but I'm good" I said and before he could say another word I walked out of the cafeteria through the cafeteria doors.
