I waited until morning. I just stared at the ceiling until my alarm went off. I got up, got dressed, and went into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth brushed my hair. I went downstairs and made some hot chocolate to bring to school. I heard mom coming downstairs, and Miranda got to sleep later than me.

"Bye, mom."

"Have a good day!" she yawned.

I walked out the door and saw Josh beat me to the bus stop. I drank half of the hot chocolate by the time I got there.

"Hey, you." I said.

"Hey, back!" he chuckled.

We kissed a little. The bus was being late so we just stood there. I checked my phone.

Friday The 13th. What a coincidence the bus is late. Eventually it did show up. 13 (more coincidence) minutes late. Still enough time to make it to class. I sipped my hot chocolate as we got on. We sat down, but at separate seats. Amazing how this is the first time this has happened. I sat in silence and drank the last of my hot chocolate. I put the cup in my backpack for now. We got to school with good time, actually. I opened my locker bug realized I had what I needed in my backpack (I carry lots of my school stuff in my backpack. Weird, I know). I saw Elliot's friends walk in through one of the entry doors. I walked as fast as I could without running to class. When I knew I was safe, I walked into my math class. I sat in the back like in every class. Josh was at football practice (personally, I don't know why they have it so early). I listened to some music and tried to sleep a little. I heard someone walk in every couple of minutes. I couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to work on some make-up work. Boring as hell, I know. The classroom was pretty much full, and then the bell rang. Our teacher walked in and sat down at her desk, trying to bring the school news up. She was successful and the news showed up on the SmartBoard (I think that's what it is). Nothing new, nothing interesting. Not for me at least. I noticed Scott seemed to be missing. I didn't really find it odd; people get sick or whatever. The news concluded, and she handed out our warmups. I just wrote things like "does it really matter?" because, honestly, when are we going to use such equations and such in the real world? She doesn't even get mad, she just tries to help me, but I'm basically extremely unavailable during that. Math was over sooner than expected. I just sat there, generating parts (extremely hard to explain. I won't even bother). Then I had science. I just did what everyone else was doing.

Then came lunch. I got my lunch. Literally just a carton of milk and some chips. I thought random thoughts for a couple minutes. Suddenly, I couldn't see.

"Guess who?" I heard a familiar voice say.

"Josh, I know it's you." I snickered.

"Goddammit."

He looked at my lunch.

"That's all?"

"Yeah. I'm not hungry."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

I noticed that a couple tables down sat Elliot's gang. Josh notice I was concerned.

"What's bugging you?" he asked.

"I see them."

Josh looked back.

"Ignore them. Trust me."

"Okay."


The day dragged on. Class was uneventful. Blah blah.

I fell asleep on Josh's shoulder on the bus ride home. When we did get home, he tried to wake me, but was unsuccessful. So he literally picked me up and carried me off the bus. Thank god we were the last stop where no one would see us. I eventually did wake up in his arms.
