I don't even recognize him anymore.

"What is she doing here" Courtney says, everything is building up and I can't hold it in anymore, it's breaking me apart.

Turning on my heel I walk back inside the school pushing the doors open with full force as tears stream down my face.

I hear Michael follow behind me but I run into the girls bathroom, that doesn't stop him he runs in and instantly takes me into a tight hug.

"I hate him" I yell as tears come out my eyes, my arms are strapped around Michael's waist with no intention of letting go anytime soon.

"He bullied me for years, then when he found out something I told no one he cared for me, I was at his house every other day, we played in the pool, we listened to music together, we baked together, we did everything together but as soon as my darkest moment happened he just left me without a care in the world, for her." I rant.

When I look up Michael looks shocked " you told me" he speaks softly smiling down on me "you don't deserve half the shit your going through Valentina but you also can't let him know it's getting to you, Ezra is my best friends and I know when he is lying, and i also know when he is in love" his words make me cry more.

"Maybe he was, but not anymore" I speak wiping my eyes and hugging into him tightly, even though I just met Michael he has made me smile more in one day that I have had in the past week.

"You ready to go now?" He says and I laugh nodding my head, he throws his hands over my shoulder and I wipe the tears from my face as we walk back outside, everyone is still sitting there with a worried look on there face except for Courtney, ugly bitch

"Alright let's go" Michael says making everyone stand up quickly and we all walk to the student parking lot, we get inside Michael's car because he has a matte black 2019 GMC Yukon.

Michael makes me sit in the front with him while everyone sits in the back and I roll my eyes finally  giving in and sitting down but of course Courtney complains.

"Why can't I ever sit in the front" she complained rolling her eyes "why can't you ever shut the fuck up"  I whisper to Michael and he laughs.

"Everyone order for yourself I can't waste my beautiful vocals" Michael says and everyone rolls their eyes as a joke.

Leaning over Michael and sticking my head out the window I order the three finger combo with a spire and a cup of canes sauce.

When i sit back down Michael is staring at me "what?" I ask "nothing" he shrugs, everyone orders there food and Michael parks as we all sit in his car and eat.

Suddenly Kayla sighs, "I want his three finger combo" she jokes and everyone groans in disgust and side eyes her as she laughs, this feels good.

I feel his gaze on me and this time I turn to meet it, his gaze softens instantly and I look away to see Michael shaking his head at me.

"We should all go the the beach" Michael and Kayla suggest, "we have that school trip next week so how about we go to the beach this week" Kayla says.

Everyone shrugs and agree, I forgot about the school, it's a ski trip for the seniors, I heard last year it was so fun and the teachers barley even watched them cause everyone was over eighteen.

"They said we could drive there ourself" I ask and everyone nods "yeah, everyone was just going to ride in my car to the hotel the school picked up, you should join" Michael says and I smile.

"No she shouldn't" my head whips back to see Courtney sitting in Ezra's lap with a smug smile "I don't think anyone was talking to you, thank you for your input tho" I give her a fake smile and she scoffs.

"Yeah, I will go with you guys" I say turning completely in my seat as Michael starts his car and we all begin driving back to school, the lunch bell rings as soon as we get inside the school and everyone goes to there assigned class.

I have this classes with Kayla, Michael, Zach, Courtney, and Ezra, just my luck, everyone comes and sits in a group table and even though there is another seat Courtney decides to sit on Ezra's lap.

"Hello class, today is going to be a free day because you guys did so well on your test a couple weeks ago" she says and everyone nods, I didn't even do that test.

Everyone just talks and laughs until the heel rings for the end of the day and everyone stands up practically running out of the classroom and to there cars.

"Bye" I tell Michael giving him another hug and he hugs me back, I get in my car and throw everything in the back seat before starting my car and driving off to my house, today was actually pretty good, I met a while new friend group but Ezra had to be in it, I hate him.

Once I got home I park my car and grab my phone, I get out the car and shut the door before walking over to my front door and opening it.

My father is still at work so I just take off my jeans and lay down in my underwear and blast 'fetish by Selena Gomez" on a large speaker.

I danced around for a bit before just sitting down on the couch and reading a book, 'meddle about by chase Atlantic' is blasting when I barely hear a knock on my door.

Running to the door completely forgetting to put on pants I open it and see Ezra, Courtney, Michael, Zach and Kayla all just starting at me and Courtney groaning because the loud music.
