SUMMER HAD DECIDED that she wanted to stay away from everyone in school for that day, mostly Pheobe and Zach. The thought of seeing them made her feel ill.
So she sat in the library by herself, her phone in her hand as she went through her camera roll. She had deleted all her photos of Zach, but with Pheobe it was different.
Her finger hovered over the delete button, but she just couldn't actually do it. And she hated that she still found herself attached to her; it was embarrassing.
Woodsey's voice filled her ears as she made an announcement on the speaker, "Will the following students please meet at Classroom 5D: Amerie Wadia, Summer Santoso—"
Summer let out a frustrated sigh, her gaze shifting from her phone. "Why me?" She whined. She could not be bothered with Woodsy today.
"—Harper McLean, Sasha So, Missy Beckett, Dustin Reid, Nathan Alarie, Pheobe Bell."
A look of distress appeared on her face. No fucking way. She was going to have to face Pheobe after spending her day hiding from her.
"Spencer White, Antony Vaughn." Woodsy continued to name off, "Darren Rivers. Quinn Gallagher-Jones. Douglas Piggott, Malakai Mitchell."
Was that new kid Malakai?
Summer let out a breath of relief, glad that at least Zach wasn't there.
"Zachary Ward."
"Fuck this," She groaned, throwing her head back. She picked up her backpack and slung it over her shoulder.
She started to storm out of the library with a scowl, being too mad to look where she was going, only to run into Malakai - again.
"Running into me again?" Malakai said teasingly with a smile.
The scowl was wiped off her face as she sent him a smile, "A girl's got to do what she has to do."
He chuckled, "Oh yeah?"
Flirting with someone she had met that day was definitely something new. Summer was the type to yearn in silence, praying one day the person she liked would realise she was into them.
But things felt different with Malakai.
He just seemed so easy to talk to, and she enjoyed how much he radiated golden retriever energy.
"You know what's going on right now?" He asked, confused on why he was being sent to a classroom with so many other kids in the year.
"Maybe something to do with the map?" Summer suggested. But he just stared at her blankly. "You've not heard about it?"
"No," Malakai answered with furrowed eyebrows. "Was I supposed to?"
"Um, you'll find out anyways." She told him. The two began to walk out of the library, towards the classroom. "How are you finding your first day?"
