It was the end of period 6 and I was walking to where we usually hang out. I didn't see anyone of my group there so I decided to take out my phone and listen to music while reading. Time went by quick when I was reading, and even quicker with music. I lost myself in them, it's like an escape, a place where I can just forget about my reality and just be happy. And lucky for me I had the ability to play the flute and the bass. I learned the flute when I had joined band in year 6 and the bass just last year since I've always wanted to be in a band.

I was deep into my book when suddenly I feel a slight tap on my shoulder and look up to see the tall boy looking down at me with tired eyes.

"Calum I'm not supposed to be talking to you. Please go away I don't want more rumors to spread." I said in a polite whisper.
He just stared at me , thinking of how to respond.

"I know, and I'm sorry . This is all my fault and I'm so sorry. I just want to be friends with you but I don't get why cassey won't let us." He finally spoke up.

"Cus im a slut remember. " I tried reminding him of the horrible name his girlfriend and her friends call me.

" you're not a slut! You're my best friend, you promised me you would wait for me and her to calm down so you and I could talk without it being a secret!" he answered.

I couldn't say anything, he was telling the truth I did say that. But that didn't stop me from feeling like shit. I felt the urge to cry, but held it in as hard as I could so he wouldn't have to see me cry and not be able to do anything about it.

"Why did this all have to happen." I asked , a tear slipping out of my weary eyes.

A month ago
"Hey why are you all by yourself?" I asked the tall boy .
"I don't have anyone to hang out with." He answered truthfully.
He looked down to his feet and wouldn't pick up his head so I leaned down and tried to convince him to come with me.

"You can hang out with me and my friend, well the 4 friends I have .we're always here after school so just come with us. I know we don't have as many friends as your girlfriend but hey we're funny."

He chuckled and looked up to me. Our eyes finally meeting.

"I'm calum, what's your name ?"

"Elizabeth, but my friends just call me eli"
I shot him a warm smile and held my hand out so he could stand up.

"Well thanks for trying to be my friend it's really kind of you, but I don't think you'll want to be my friend."

I looked at him, confsed.
"And why is that? Are you some type of pedophile or murderer? ARE YOU RACIST OR HOMOPHOBIC? DO YOU NOT LIKE SUPERNATURAL???" I tried to seem as serious as possible.

"No I'm just really annoying."

"Well hey so am I, so in sure we'll become very good friends."
And with that he finally stoop up and started walking with me towards my friends.

Now

"Just go away, please." I begged him.

He looked down , his eyes looked tired as if he hasn't slept in several days. I was definitely worried about him, he was also my best friend. I know I said Bina and winter are , and I mean it . But so was he , I was his only friend and we talked every chance we had, we were together every chance we had.

Now I see him as he passes by, he is holding hands with his bitch of a girlfriend while I just bow my head and wish this would all end.

He whispered something before he walked away , but I couldn't make out what he said.
