Hey its your boy Myles. Sorry I didn't come thru with your call but leave a message so I can call you back, unless you're Ashlynn because I'm probably calling you back right now. Skeddit.

He's not calling back. He's not texting back.

He...he changed it. He changed his cute voicemail.
"I just don't get it," I tell Johnson through Skype.
"Myles has been through a lot, especially in high school. Plus, he has to compete with Kalin every day."
"What do you mean?" I ask Johnson with a puzzled expression.
"Look, you know how insecure I get around Jack. Remember how I liked Madison first? How I brought her over all the time? How I introduced her to my best friend because well, he's my best friend? And what happened?"
"Madison fell for Jack...and Jack encouraged it..." I sigh.
"That has been happening to Myles for a while...and in high school, he was bullied. Imagine how you feel right now...remember when you told me that you'll never feel fully accepted?"
I nod my head.
"Soo yeah, he shouldn't have blown up on you like that, but he's hurt," Johnson says with a frown.
I begin to smile through my tears.
"I never thought that I would be crying about my break with Myles Parrish to Jack Johnson on Skype. How did I get here?"
"I ask myself the same questions...I love you tho. I'm happy I met you, like you keep it real and you don't use me to get to Jack," Johnson says.
"I love you too. The only person I'm not loving right now is Kalin. I got to go though. I'll talk to you later...thanks for being my friend," I say while closing my laptop.
I wonder what my life would be like if I went to that Jack and Jack concert instead.

Kayla: Marcus is planning something today.
Kayla: he asked me if I wanted in
Me: what???
Kayla: your Anti Bullying meeting today
Kayla: be careful
I really hope they don't do anything stupid. Or anything to harm me. I've become immune to them, especially since I have Myles. Well, since I had Myles.
Statistics, my last period of the day, just ended and I'm packing my books at my locker. I can't wait for this school year to finish.
I make my way down to my club meeting and see Marcus, Dylan, Mackenzie, and my only friend, Kayla, sitting down. Kayla gives me a gentle look as a way to say good luck.
"Hello everyone," I say. "Thank you all for coming. It's nice to see that some of my own bullies have joined the club. Maybe they've changed their ways."
The whole room cheers except Marcus' group.
The meeting goes smoothly, but that causes me to feel immense terror since I know they have something planned.
Marcus raises his hand and I pass him the talking stick.
"How does it feel to be a murderer? I hear today is the anniversary"
The other club members gasp
"It feels terrible and yes, it is the anniversary," I answer professionally.
He passes it to Dylan
"I bet if your mom were here, she'd try to kill you instead."
"I hope not...," I say.
Now Mackenzie.
"You couldn't keep your mom and now you can't keep Myles."
"How did you-" I say before being interrupted.
"She's probably going to run him over with her grandmothers car," Dylan says.
"Then kill her grandmother," Marcus laughs.
"Everyone is dismissed," I say. The younger grades leave but my bullies remain.
"You think you can run this school? You think that just because you went on some stupid tour that everything is okay? You think you're worth something? I don't know who told you that-"
"I told her," I hear a familiar voice say. And that's when my tears start. Its him.
