Chapter 9

                                Kaililah's POV
I found my mom in the kitchen. She was doing something on her laptop.

"Hey mom. I'm back."

"Hey sweetie. You're home late."

"I was out with Matthew Stallone."

"Is he that boy who's opening for Trix?"

"Mhm. I love him and we've gone to a few of his shows. He's bringing me to the mall tomorrow."

"As a date?"

"Yeah."

"Was going out with him tonight a date too?"

"Mhm."

Matthew completely spoiled me. Pictures of the both of us started getting posted. We were trending. My followers went up. I was completely overwhelmed.

We walked into the venue for the second night of tour. I saw girls from my school. They immediately rushed up to me. They surrounded me. They were all talking over each other. They weren't giving me a chance to talk.

I started getting overwhelmed and started hyperventilating. My head was spinning. My eyes were frantically looking at everyone around me.

I found an opportunity to run and took it. I ran away. I ran right into Beatrix's dressing room.

"AH! KJ! You scared me!"

I threw myself down onto the couch. She found Matthew for me. He sat down next to me and I just collapsed into his arms. I cried myself to sleep.

I felt leather go across me. I woke up and saw that Matthew's leather jacket was on me. I sat up.

Did I seriously fall asleep?

I heard that his set had started. I walked to the VIP section then found Deana.

"Hey! There you are! How do you feel?"

"A bit better. I'm emotionally drained but I'm okay."

I fixed my hair then started watching his set.

January came around and school started back up again. I walked into school and all I heard were whispers about me. I got to my locker then opened it.

"So do you think...you're hot shit now?"

Oh god...

Not Mindy...

It's too early...

"No. I don't."

She crossed her arms. I started going through my locker.

"Listen...I know my place. I know to stay out of your way so that's what I'm gonna do."

"As you should."

She shoved me into my locker. I winched. I lifted my shirt up and saw a mark.

That's gonna turn into a damn bruise now...

I gently touched it. I winched again.

"Shit..."

I went to the nurse's office.

"Hi Miss. Curtis. Can I have an ice pack?"

"Sure. Where are you hurt?"

"My side. I lost my balance and fell into a locker."

"Can you sign in for me?"

"Yeah. Sure."

I walked up to the tablet. I signed in. She opened the freezer and grabbed an ice pack and wrapped it in a paper towel. She handed it to me.

"Here you go. Please bring it back before the end of the day. I'll give you another one if you need it."

"Thank you. I'll see you at the end of the day."

I put the ice pack on my side and started walking to my class. I sat down and Renee Johnson pulled my hair. My head whipped back and the back of my head slammed onto her desk.

I got an instant headache. I know it's best to avoid causing trouble with other students. I keep to myself. I have a few friends.

Besides that...

I'm quiet.
