three days later
I was startled by the sound of my alarm going off. I hit the snooze button and rolled over. I got up and went into my bathroom. Before I could even make it down the hall, I stopped noticing the kitchen light was on. I made my way to the kitchen to see no one was in there. I stood confused for a couple of seconds before I see my mom walk in and jumped.
"Oh you scared me. Morning." She said walking away looking at her phone.
"When'd you get home." I said rubbing my eyes. She didn't reply at first.
"What? Oh uh sometime last night." She said putting her phone down and getting her cup from the counter.
"I thought you were supposed to come hope later or earlier or something." I said rubbing my eyes. She didn't reply as she cluttered with the dishes in the sink probably not hearing me.
I sighed and walked away to go back in the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and turned on the sink. I splashed water on my face letting it drip off me.
I thought about how I haven't herd from Harry ever since our date. I didn't even see him at school the past two days.
I brushed my hair and quickly put on little makeup before walking back to my room to put on my clothes. I walked over to my closet and grabbed my small navy cardigan. I shuffled to my dresser grabbing a white tank top and my light washed jeans. I quickly threw it all on and flopped back down on my bed.
I sat on my phone waiting for Mae to come pick me up. I clicked over to twitter switching to Lias account to see is anything was going on. When I clicked on her acc it asked for her password. I typed in what I thought it was her password, but it told me to try again, so I knew it was wrong. I sighed and threw my phone down getting up to gather my stuff for school. As I did that I herd my phone go off. I looked out my window to see Maes car in the driveway.
I grabbed my backpack and ran out the door. I slid into the car starting to talk to Lia.
"Hey did you change your Twitter password because I tried to log in and it told me access was denied or someth-" I said stopping seeing they were staring at me.
"What?" I said starting to feel worried. Mae turned around and Lia stayed silent for a couple seconds.
"W-Wh- Yea I changed the password."
"Well what what is it?" By the time I had asked, we were already backing out the driveway. No one said anything the whole ride to school. I didn't question why they were acting so weird, but I knew sooner or later I was going to have to.
When we got to school I checked my phone and it was 7:28. I had 2 minutes to get my class that was on the other side of the campus. I took my time trying to find and alternate route not having to walk outside. When I walked into 1st period everyone was sitting at their desk quietly and when they herd the door slam shut they all looked up.
"Traffic?" My teacher said. I lied and nodded my head. I went to my seat and sat quietly wondering what we were doing until I was distracted by my teacher coming up to me with a packet of paper and a test grid. I blocked out everything she said and cursed in my head since I had forgot about the test. I looked down at the first question and sighed.
1. TRUE/FALSE: a protein carries a positive charge.
I thought to myself how we learned this during the second week of school and in 9th grade, but I still had no clue. I bubbled in true and moved on.
For the rest of the class I took the test and was cut off by the bell. I had two questions left so I stayed and finished them as fast as I could. After I got up and handed my test to my teacher I started to go to second period.
As I was walking past the main building, I saw Lias bright coral backpack. I ran up to her and started talking.
"Hey good luck on that Chemistry test I didn't study I'm pretty sure I failed."
"Dang that sucks." She said sarcastically.
"Are you okay?" I asked tilting my head.
"Yea why wouldn't I be?" Lia said never looking at me. I stopped to turn as she continued walking straight. She was acting weird, but I couldn't tell why.
After 3 periods of endless work and notes, I finally headed to the forum to meet Lia and Mae for lunch. When I walked in I saw them at the middle table with nothing in front of them. Before I spoke I noticed them staring at me like they wanted to say something.
"What?" I said shoving my notebook into my backpack. Mae looked down and Lia replied.
"Nothing."
"Do you want to go off campus and get lunch? I'm already through with today and-" Mae cut me off.
"Yea okay let's do that sounds good." She said standing up. I looked over at Lia who was looking at her. I could tell her facial expression was telling Mae to shut up and act natural.
"What is up with you guys?" I said starting to get mad. Neither of them replied.
"Please tell me it's not about Harry. So what I went on one date with him. And it wasn't even a date."
"You what?" Lia said abruptly. I didn't reply thinking they already knew.
"I'm going off." I said standing up and faking a smile. I herd Mae taking as I walked away, but I couldn't make out what she was saying. I started to walk to Lias car, but I turned around and headed back to the front of the school so I could walk home instead. I checked my phone and saw we had 50 minutes left for lunch.
Just as I was about to put my phone back in my pocket. I ran into someone who stopped me by grabbing my shoulders. I gasped and looked up and saw Harry. He let go of me as I stepped back.
"Where are you going."
"Off." I said walking away.
"I can take you wherever."
"No that's okay."
"No come on let me take you." I stopped and turned to him after he said this.
"Where have you been?" I said trying not to get mad.
"What do you mean-"
"I haven't herd from you or even seen you since our date or whatever that was." I said cutting him off. He looked away and shrugged his shoulders. I sighed and started to walk away.
"Then let's hang out again." I stopped after I herd him say this. I turned around waiting for him to continue.
"Adams band has this thing on Friday night, I thought maybe you'd come." I took a moment before replying.
"Okay." I said under my breath regretting it. I could see him start to smile as I turned around and walked away thinking about nothing, but Friday.
