My eyes were glued to the board. No. I wasn't actually into Chemistry, I was lost in thought.
I was never safe. I could never be alone.
That scared me so much.
Suddenly Sofia nudged my leg with hers.
"Stop staring. And start listening . Crimson's gonna call on you." She whispers.
I wish I could have told them. Any of them. Even just one. We could just huddle in a bathroom stall and I could whisper in her ear.
I'm probably going to be murdered soon.
I sit back up on my stool. I have an unexplainable weggie. But try to concentrate because I'm sure we would be having a test on all of this in a couple of weeks. And I didn't want to have to go through all of that Quizlet business again.
"Um. Taylor. You need to head to the office for a bit." Mr. Crimson waved around a small scratch of paper. I picked it up then walked out the door.
Taylor O' Sullivan
Period 4
Room 18
For 10-20 minutes
That was scribbled on the pass in familiar writing.
I walked through the courtyard when I suddenly heard a crunch in the fall leaves.
I stopped in my tracks and looked around.
Get out of my head.
I continued to walk past the courtyard. A little bit faster pace. When I heard a soft giggle.
"Um. Hello? Is someone there? I was just checked out to go to the office." I shouted a little to the trees. Maybe it was just a monitor or teacher. I heard yet another giggle, but it was louder this time.
"Um. Well I'm going to go now." I joined back. Whoever it was, or whatever it was, I wasn't going to fall for it.
"Stop." I couldn't explain the voice. It was similar to mine. Maybe a girl, but it could have been a boy. It was such a small word.
"Who are you?" I asked stepping closer. Hmm. They spoke. That's the first.
Then a person walked out. It was Ellie. Her mascara was dripping down her face and nose was red. She had been sobbing.
"Oh my god. Um are you okay?" I said softly. I wasn't really sure if I should try to comfort her or not. I mean we were enemies of sorts.
"I'm sorry." She sobbed some more and let out a sniffle. Those weren't giggles I had heard before. They were her crying.
"I'm just a mess. I just got the news." She chocked on her tears.
"Uh. What happened?" I asked her. My eyebrows raised.
"Carson. He broke up with me." She clapped her hands to her eyes and sobbed into them. She hiccuped a little.
"Oh. I'm sorry." I said patting her back a little.
"I know you probably are really happy. But I just can't believe it." She sniffed and lifted her hands off her face.
"I don't know where he went. He just.... Broke up with me.... He said to meet in the woods during 4th period. So... So.... I met him. But he just said he hated me and I was fat and ugly and.... He ..... Wanted to never see me again. Then he ran off. Back into the words... And... And... I have no idea where he went. And I really so bad... Like what did I do for him to run off like that?" She sobbed on my shoulder. Making my shirt slightly wet.
"Don't worry. You did nothing wrong. He's probably just upset and wanted to walk off or something." I tried to comfort her.
"I hope so. I'm just so.... So... Broken hearted." She whispered to me.
My mind went back to the note in my locker. That's Bs heart would be broken. But this didn't seem right. I mean Carson's a d*ck, but not that much of a d*ck. I had a feeling there was more to this.
