xxv.

"so who was responsible for this?" the dean questioned. i sat in the chair across from her, my makeup a mess from crying in the bathroom. a few minutes after i ran away, some random teacher came and got me and walked me to the office.

"i don't know" i sighed, folding my arms across my chest. "today is my first day here, and i don't really know anyone" i lied. i didn't want to rat out bertram and kenny, that would only make them hate me more.

"well the person who is responsible for this will be in big trouble." she said sharply.

"i'm telling you i don't know, someone probably got my locker mixed up" i said. she folded her hands together, her eyes burning through my skull.

"we're gonna have to get the police involved then. go ahead and clean yourself up and head to your sixth period" she fake smiled, writing something down and picking up her phone.

i rolled my eyes and walked to the nearest bathroom to fix my makeup. she was so harsh.

after i finished, i just sat in a stall waiting for seventh period. i didn't want to go to sixth knowing that most people knew about what happened after lunch. rumors were probably spreading like wild fire.

the bell rang and i headed to my seventh period. i quickly walked to my class, hoping no one would notice me. on my way there i spotted daniel. my anxiety calmed down as i walked over to him.

"what happened?" he asked, concerned.

"the dean was just questioning me as if i knew who did it" i explained. he shook his head.

"once i find out who did it i'm gonna kill them" he determined. i laughed. it was cute seeing him trying to be tough, because in reality he wasn't.

"what?" he asked, offended. i just kept on laughing. we finally made it to our last class, picking a seat in the back.

the teacher introduced himself as mr.sharp. he was our history teacher. he went on the explain the rules and hand out a syllabus.

benny came in the class, his hands in his pockets. "your late. next time make it here on time" the teacher told him. he shrugged and sat in the front row. i wonder how he feels about all this. if he feels the same as me.

"ally!" daniel shout-whispered. "are you even listening to me?" he asked.

"oh yea, you should get it" i smiled at him, having no clue what he was talking about.

he rolled his eyes and turned his attention back on the teacher. "sorry" i whispered.

i caught benny looking back at me, but he quickly looked away. then i realized something. benny was the only one who knew about me and daniel before school started. i wonder if he told bertram and kenny, who then proceeded to write on my locker.

i sighed. that's when i realized everything between me, benny and all of the boys was officially over. they thought of me as a whore, who played benny. but did they know that he cheated on me?

the bell rang, cutting me off from my thoughts.

"finally" daniel muttered. i followed him out the class and to his car. the whole way there i felt people staring, but i didn't really care.

once we finally got in his car, i sighed of relief. the worst first day ever was finally done.

"do you want me to come to yours?" he asked, putting on his seatbelt.

"yea, issac isn't gonna be there and i don't really feel like being alone" i said.

"alright" he smiled.

after we made it to my house, we sat and relaxed for a little bit. we didn't mention what happened after lunch. i knew he could tell that i didn't want to talk about it.

i layed my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. it calmed me down. i really appreciated what he did for me. he was one of my only friends.

"i'm gonna take a shower, i feel stinky" i said, getting up from my bed and grabbing some fresh clothes. "your always stinky" he giggled. i rolled my eyes and went to my bathroom.

i turned on the water, making sure it was the right temperature. i got undressed, then i realized i forgot a towel. i groaned.

"daniel, can you grab me a towel?" i yelled, pressing my ear to the door. "where are they?" he asked. "in the closet" i replied. i heard him ruffle through my closet for a couple seconds, then walk towards the bathroom.

"here you go—" he said, swinging the door open. i froze, standing there completely naked.
for a split second, his eyes wandered down my body. i quickly hid my body with my arms, then grabbed the towel and slammed the door.  i didn't expect him to open the door fully.

i groaned, burying my face with my hands. my life couldn't get anymore fucked up.
