CHAPTER 2: 𓆩⟡𓆪

I decided to walk to school today.

My earbuds were filled with Fiona Apple, and I mindlessly scrolled on my ipod, not bothering to look up and take in my surroundings.

Nothing was worth looking at anyway.

I had slept at 2 in the morning last night, so naturally I was tired today. Nor did I want to talk to anyone at all.

I tucked my Ipod into my backpacks' side pocket, finally letting Fiona Apple's sweet, sweet voice cloud my mind.

I've been thinking too much about nothing at all lately and I hate it.

I just want to live.

And right now, I'm barely surviving.

Give me the first taste...

Let it begin, heaven can not wait forever..

I start to relax slightly. A car is honking its horn softly.

I keep walking.

Darling, just start the chase..

I'll let you win..

The honking gets louder, more persistent.

I scowl as I rip my earbud out of my ear, turning and immediately seeing Hugh driving his car.

Hugh, Katie, Feely, and even.. Tadhg?

How did he convince Mammy K to let him ride with these assholes?

Hugh smiles at me. Big. Feely and Katie just turn and focus on the road, deciding to ignore me.

"Don't tell me you're walking, Liz." Hugh said. "Come on. Jump in with us." He says lightly.

"I'm good!" I respond, rolling my eyes and putting my earbud back in.

He starts honking once again.

I keep walking until anger flares to life inside of me. Hugh is still driving, following me.

Of course he is.

I love him but I can not do this shit today

I take my earbud out, "Okay, fine! I'll ride with you, will you stop fucking honking now?" I bite out.

My jaw is clenched as I yank open the passenger door, crawling into the cramped car.

Hugh is driving, Tadhg has shotgun, and Feely is in the trunk.

So you know who I have to sit next to?

Right.

Katie.
