Schatz...

"Tom?"

1:34am

I couldn't sleep at all so I decided to text Tom and see if he's awake.

"Tom?" I text

He opens it. My eyes lit up when I saw he read it but he didn't reply. I put my phone back on charge on my nightstand. Eventually, I fell asleep.

The next day

I stir awake and look at my alarm clock. It was 7:18am. I slowly got up from bed and went to go get changed to put on black baggy jeans and a black hoodie. I went downstairs to collect my breakfast, which was a cereal bar, and grab my bag and head out the door. As I'm walking to school I see Tom with Malia, of course, so I decided to go make another friend. I arrive at the school gates, it didn't feel right because I wasn't with Tom. Him. Beside me. I walk up to this girl and I say,

"Hi! I suppose your new here?" I ask,

"Yeah I am my name is Poppy," she replies with,

"That's a really nice name Poppy, my name is Freya" I smile warmly at her,

"Like the Norse Myth goddess of love and beauty?!" She questions excitedly,

"Yupp!" I say.

After a while of chatting we decide to go and head to our classes, mine was english with Tom. I enter class and have a seat at the back. As I was doodling on my hand a see someone sit next to me in the corner of my eye, it was Tom... The teacher hands out our tests for today and we start them. As I'm working I feel Tom's foot kick into mine. I look at him. He's with that same old smirk that he does when he makes fun of me.

I excuse myself to the bathroom. Once I got into a stall I opened my bag and pulled out my sharpener and a screwdriver. I unscrewed the screw and tipped the blade into my hand. I slowly pull up my sleeve then I slit my wrists along with old scars. I suddenly hear someone enter the bathroom and hear Tom cough.

"Tom?" I say,

"What you little fucking cutter?" he asks,

"N-nevermind..." I say quickly.
