My best friend is my boyfriend's mate?!

Chapter 7

Amelia's POV
I'm so confused. Why? What? He ignored me, his girlfriend for a year now, on his own birthday. Am I really that repulsive? Am I that ugly that he doesn't even want to be seen with me? What if this is his way of silently breaking up with me?! Okay Amie that's stupid, I think he would have to tell you if he wanted to break up. But he ignored me on purpose. He never ignores me What did I do? Being your normal self usually annoys people, so that is the obvious answer.

I must have done something wrong. I've never seen him act like that in my life. I wanted to make it up to him, to apologise for whatever I've done wrong. I'll try talk to him after school and hopefully not get ignored. I remember he looked right in my eyes then turned and left. Zoe saw this happen, she was standing right next to me when it happened. I cried in her arms while she reassured me as best she could. People started at us sitting in the hallway. I mean it must have been a sight to see, two girls sitting in the middle of the hallway one sobbing violently the other cradling her like a wounded child. I could hear the passing students whisper things as they went to their classes. They would say 'freaks' and 'weirdos' like we didn't know it.

When I finally got to class nearly half and hour late, to say my history teacher was pissed wouldn't be half of it. He was down right fuming. I had a tendency to come to classes late from counsellor sessions or from crying in the bathroom but never this late.
"Miss Travers where have you been?"
I could hear the fury in his voice but it passed over my head like it didn't matter. but of course my habit of lying never leaves even when people knew exactly what happened. It was clearly obvious that I had been crying again, my cheeks were red, my eyes puffy and tear stains still running down my face. Half the people in the room knew why I had been crying, there had been a lot of people by the lockers.
" I was..I uhh my counsellor session ran a bit over time."
" 20 minutes overtime?" Mr Dunn asked with obvious annoyance in his voice. I just looked at him like a gaping fish. My mouth was moving but no sound was coming out. Mr Dunn let out a loud sigh.
" Just sit down Miss Travers"

I rush hurriedly to my seat and sit down. I hear snickers coming from around the class. The truth on where I had been was that I was in the library crying in the corner. The librarian tried to get me out and send me off to my next class but when I kept refusing she just gave up.
" Alright class we're going to start learning about World War II as our next unit."
Everything after that was a blur of sound as I felt my head getting dizzy and passing out on the table.

"Miss Travers when you've finished sleeping, would you like to answer the question?"
Wait, what I fell asleep? I must have been so exhausted I fell asleep. "I uhh , what was the question sir?" I say sheepishly looking down at my desk.
'What year did World War II occur in?"
I could feel the smugness in his voice. Wait. I actually know this. Ha! " World War II started in 1937 and finished in 1939" I say it feeling proud of myself. His smugness dropped from his face.
"correct. Detention after school for sleeping during my class."
It's official this is the worst day of my life. 10 more minutes until class is over, till I can go home. 1o minutes till I can escape the pain.

When the bell finally rings I rush to get out of my seat and get out of class.
"Not so fast Miss Travers"
Dammit. I forgot I had a detention. Just great. Sorry sir but I already have plans at home to comtimplate  my life, so maybe we can reschedule?
"You  will be helping me file these papers, you can leave when we're done."
Great, another person that hates me. As I sorted through the graded papers I think about Adrian again I had been trying to push thoughts of him out of my head for the day. How had I messed up so bad?

File after file after file. I had gotten into a routine. Test, folder, file. Over and over again. I was like a robot set to do a job. I did this for a hour, even though it felt like double.
"Okay Amie you can go now."
Mr Dunn's voice broke through my dazed thoughts. I look up at him with heavy eyes and get of my seat. I trip a little as I get out. I walk down the  deserted hallways alone as all students except me have already gone home. It's the first time I've walked down the halls without being pushed into a locker or been hit with some rude remark. It's now about 4:30 and all I want to do is sleep. As soon I push through the school doors I feel rain gently falling on my face. Oh, just great, now I get to walk home in the rain.

I walk faster as the rain gets heavier. Soon enough I'm sprinting to get home in the pouring rain. My tears getting mixed with the rain on my face. I don't stop until I reach my house. I step through the door taking off my shoes as I go. Okay, first step: shower. I stand in the shower for half an hour just watching the water flow off my body. After I got out and changed into my PJ's I collapsed on my bed and just screamed. I screamed and screamed letting go of all my frustration. I could see it from where I'm sitting on my bed. Lying there on the bathroom counter taunting me. It's like I could hear it calling to me, wanting to hurt me. One little cut can't hurt, can it? One small cut on my wrist, not deep enough to do any damage just to feel release. I get out my bed and drag my feet over to the bathroom. I grab my blade off the side. I'd been clean for a whole year, I was doing so well. I drag the blade across my skin letting my blood flow out of it. I sink to the floor and hug my knees against my chest. What have I done? I did the one thing I would never do again. Zoe will probably cry, so will Jackson.
Adrian would just be disappointed.
