kayden delamare

i woke to a bunch of pacing going on in front of me.

i seen flora pacing in front of me which made me get dizzy so got up and stopped from pacing.

"what's wrong?" i asked looking at her sympathetically since she looked like she kind of wanted to cry.

"nate is going to be there and probably go to make the next three months of my life hell because he'll tell everyone we had sex and then i'll be called a slut and everyone will hate me because i can't keep my legs closed" she said all in one breath.

"hey, if he says anything like that, he'll have to deal with me and so will anyone else that says something bad about you" i said in soft voice to comfort her but i was serious because i wanted to drop kick him, i wanted to pimp slap, etc. but if it wasn't for flora stopping me, i would have given him bloody lip or something of the fighting nature.

"thank you so much, kayden. you're the best friend in the world" she said and hugged me then went upstairs.

i cleaned up the mess we made last night then went upstairs myself.

i walked into flora's room and went to go take a shower.

after my shower, i put on some of flora's sweatpants and a black zip up hoodie.

i went back downstairs and grabbed shoes and put them on then went to grab a snack bar and a water.

"flora, let's go" i shouted and went to grab my keys then got an 'i'm coming' as a response.

i checked my notification with multiple texts from sammy and my mom, asking if i was okay.

i texted my mom then sammy then went on my instagram and saw that it was not lit so i went on tumblr.

flora finally came downstairs after fifty years and now i'm sixty seven years old.

haha just kidding.

we got into the the car and drove to my house.

we got to my house and i hopped out the car and made my way into my room.

i did my makeup really fast then threw on whatever was in sight and matched.

i put on a grey tank top, a denim shirt and a grey maxi skirt.

i put on a pair of grey sandals and grabbed my backpack making sure i had everything then made my way downstairs and out the door.

i got in the car and drove off to school, cough *hell* cough.

i only have three months until i can shake this damn cough.

i pulled into the parking lot and got out headed straight for my lockers along with flora.

"am i hot? i think i need to go to the nurses off, bye" flora said quickly then ran away before i could say anything.

i looked straight ahead and made eye contact with nate then flipped him off and made my way in the direction flora went.

"what's the rush?" i heard an all too familiar voice ask.

i turned around and smiled up at sammy who was smiling down at me.

"nothing" i said rather fast then went to open the door but sammy's hand shut it closed.

"what's wrong?" he asked lightly looking me in the eye and i melted.

"i, uh, um, h-have to go find flora. she ran off and i need go find her" i said trying not to look into his eyes.

" i'll help" he offered.

"no thanks, i got this" i said politely declining his offer.

"okay but be careful" he said and i nodded then followed the direction flora went in.

once i found her, i found sitting on the bleachers with her head in her hands.

she sat there crying while i made my way up the steps.

"kayden, go away. i want to be alone right now" she said not even looking at me keeping her body in the same position.

"but fl-" i started.

"just go away" she said.

"but i-" she cut me off again.

"just go away kayden. i don't need your help. stop trying to always help other people, just stay out my life. i don't need your help anymore and i definitely don't need you!!" she yelled at me which shocked because we never yelled at each except when we're playing with each other.

i slowly backed away from her then made my way down the bleachers to leave her alone.

i walked to my first period and my way inside and sat down in my seat.

mrs. briggs started her lesson and zoned her out as i kept replaying flora's words in my head.

"ms. delamare, can you please tell me what happened on june twenty eighth, nineteen fourteen?" mrs. briggs asked me which made me snap out of my thoughts.

"i'm not sure" i said quietly in embarrassment since i didn't know.

"meet me after class, ms. delamare" she said then continued on with her lesson.

i sat in my seat and tried to focus on the lesson but flora's words kept playing in my mind.
