"You think you're different to me, don't you?" I tilt my head, staring at each other's lips.
Without breaking eye contact, he slowly stands, making him in control with the advantage in height. I'm the one looking up at him now.
"And you...

The morning drive to school was silent. No matter what I said to Reggie, he wouldn't talk to me. I'm impressed to say the least, he's managed to not crack once and he's keeping his say on not talking to me.
What a real punishment.
I appreciated the silence the first day, no more of his constant rambles and chatter but today I found myself missing it. I can admit that I deserve the silent treatment, I would be the one doing it if things were the other way around so I can't blame him much. He learned it from me.
As soon as I parked the car, he raced out the second after. He's sticking to his act. I didn't speak to my mom at all, I don't even have a chance to purposely ignore her, she just rarely shows herself anymore.
This is what she does, she gets a new boyfriend and priorities them over her own children. I dont care much, she and I don't really get that along anymore anyway. Home has felt more empty and quiet. Gives me more time to myself though.
As I walk to my locker I notice Leah from the side of my eye, I can feel her ugly burning glare she's throwing at me. Thats all she can afford to do, just throw dirty looks. She knows she can't touch me. Sad how much jealousy the girl has, she could have so much potential if she didn't base off her whole existence to hating me.
I had a tennis meeting today after school, coach wanted to make an announcement and right after that I had cheer practice. Turns out the girl I replaced didn't end up coming back to the team so I was her replacement now. I didn't mind that much since I've done cheer in the past and I knew their routine. Plus the cheer coach loved me so she was always overly nice to me.
In the few days that I've returned from Spain, things have felt different, less hectic than usual and more quiet. I never wanted to settle for a boring life but lately boring is what it's felt like. I've don't the same thing, repeated the same schedule for the last three days.
That power, control it was gone. I didn't have anything or more anyone to put my energy into. I go away for one month and everyone seems to have disappeared or changed themselves.
When I walk into class I notice Quinn wasn't in yet. I sent her a quick short text asking her where she was. It was like her to always be late, she didn't have much time management. Once the teacher walks in, I force myself to pay attention and complete the work in class so I wouldn't have to do it later tonight.
I had been slacking on my academics but not by much. I missed a whole months worth of work and it's been hell trying to catch up but I knew I could get it done, I always do.
