chapter 21

it had been almost a week since me and sal hung out in the treehouse.

we had been talking to each other a lot and he's become someone i can really rely on. it's nice to have him around.

i was thinking about our plans until my train of thought was rudely interrupted.

"y/n? are you awake?"

"...huh?"

i picked my head up to see my spanish teacher looking at me with her hands on her hips. she had a weird look on her face. "glad to see you have finally decided to join the class!" she said in a passive aggressive tone.

"sorry." my face warmed when i realized how many people were staring at me. no fucking way i fell asleep during class.

"as i was saying, could you answer the question on the board?" my teacher, mrs carroll, pointed to the board which displayed a sentence in spanish. some shit i did not understand.

"um..."

mrs carroll rolled her eyes at me and picked another victim to call on. "sam? how about you?"

i sighed to myself and looked at the clock. the bell was ringing soon. thank god.

i looked at my phone and saw that sal had texted me.

> we still hanging td?????

< yeah ofc
< i might take a bit to get home sorry

ash's car had broken down so everyone else had to find some other way to get to school and back

> do u want me to take u?
> my dads been letting me take the car

< r u sure?????? if its not any trouble

> you arent trouble y/n dw
> meet me by the stairs when bell rings k?

< ok see u then

i smiled at his text and waited for school to end.

the rest of the class was just some dumb exit ticket and a lecture that was cut off by the loud ringing of the bell.

i was the first one out of the class and speed walked to the stairwell. i saw sal leaning against the rail, picking at his nails.

i fixed my hair and walked up to him. "hey sal. you ready to go?"

sal looked up and smiled. "hell yes. let's get out of here."

we walked out of the school side by side, talking about small things that had occurred during the day.

sal chuckled. "it's alright. my teachers yell at me for sleeping all the time."

"it was so fucking embarrassing! everyone was staring at me."

"are you not used to that? like... when you used to be in a band and stuff."

"it's different."

"i get that." sal unlocked the car and opened the door of his dad's honda civic for me. he walked back around and hopped into the driver's seat. "where to? wanna go home or somewhere else?"

i thought for a moment. "i have money. you want to get food or something?"

"sure. i'm fucking starving. where do you wanna go?"

"i don't really care, honestly."

he looked at me and smirked. "ha, okay. i'll go to this place my dad likes. it's near the music store."

i nodded in agreement. it was always nice to spend time with friends after a long day of school. my mind and my body were exhausted. i slumped back into the seat and deeply inhaled and exhaled.
