Chapter Twenty One

Alex dropped me to school again and this time I sat at the back to avoid any talking. I looked outside my window and soon my eyelids started drooping and I kind of dozed off.

Joel woke me up and we both walked in together, he turned to me.

"Why didn't you sleep all night?" Jo asked in a low and scary voice.

"I did sleep." I lied.

"You're a bad liar, it is in your face that you didn't sleep all night."

I didn't say anything and went towards my locker. I was in no mood of talking. That coffee didn't help.

"Hey" Ariana said, she was leaning against my locker waiting for me.

"Hi" I said and pushed her away so I could open my locker.

"What happened?" Ariana asked.

I looked at her with a flat face.

"Uh? I don't understand" she said.

I sighed. "Nothing."

"No I meant what happened yesterday?"

"Oh can you ask Connor? I'm really tired." I told her as I took out my stuff from the locker.

"Why are you tired?"

I gave her a killer look. If looks could kill.

"What?" She said again.

"Please can you ask him?" I requested.

She nodded and went off. I walked to my classroom and sat down in my usual seat. I put my head on the desk and fell asleep.

Suddenly someone hit my head. I got up to look who did that. Chris! Of course! Who else?

"What?" I snapped looking up.

"Woah someone seems pissed today."

"Shut up. Just shut up will you?" I said dragging my words and banged my head back on my desk.

Chris started playing with my hair and flicking it up and down. I growled and looked up again to see him smirking.

"Stop it. Its irritating." I whined.

"I know that's why I'm doing it." he smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Please. I'm sleep deprived."

"Why? Didn't you sleep at night?"

I didn't want to answer that question. Why was everyone asking me that question?

I looked down at my fingers which were playing with each other.

"Answer my question lily, why didn't you sleep at night?" Chris said in a strict voice.

I remained quite, it was better if he didn't know.

"Lily I asked you something, you gotta answer me." Chris said and forced me to look at him.

I looked at him and gulped. I didn't want to tell him. He would probably get upset or something. And I didn't want him to be upset because it was my birthday tomorrow.

"Tell me."

I looked down. "Please I don't wanna talk about it."

"C'mon you know you can talk about it to me."

"I know I can trust you. But I don't want to talk about it."

"Please Lil, you'll feel better and its your birthday tomorrow I don't want you to be sad."
