I look at the so on coming work. I work day and night on the weekend and after classes on it.. Only 3 days till the competition and I'm barely half way done.

I look at my work. I've been so stressed I haven't used my phone in days, I look at it for just a second seeing over 90 notifications from, Orchid, Zayne, and Ritz.. I don't have time to respond I continue sewing.

Sewing.. Sewing.. Sewing..

1 hour goes by.. Then 2..3 4 5..17 hours of working on it. I finished one of them and I'm working on the seconds..

3 am, still working.. It turns into two days til the competition.

I haven't had sleep in days and I look miserable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I look at Veneer as he walks into class. He looks fine, he doesn't have a smile.. He hasn't in almost a week..He hasn't responded to my texts either. He says he's fine but I know it's more than that.

Walking out of class I follow him

KidR: "Ven, what's wrong? You haven't texted me"

Ven: "Nothing I just have forgotten to use my phone"

KidR: "Ven.. What's happening?"

Ven: "Nothing"

KidR: "That's not true, tell me Ven

Ven: "Nothing! I'm telling the truth!"

I grabbed his shoulders and spinned him around.

KidR: "Veneer. Why are you like this? You haven't smiled, you haven't texted me, and your always tired. You can try and hide it with all that concealer but I'm worried about you"

He hesitates.

Ven: "Nothing is wrong.. And if you excuse me I'm late."

He walks away.

He's not fine.
