Life without Love

Him

A/N - Chad Michael Murray as Colton Delton (:

"So tell me what happened to your eye?" Hilary practically screamed as we entered the bathroom. I quickly look in all the stalls, making sure nobody was here.

" I just had an accident, was running down the stairs faster than I thought and I hit my face on the window sill in my basement. I thought I covered it good ?" I looked in the mirror as I looked at my eye I noticed her staring at me with her arms crossed
"What?" I twirled around and raised my eye brows.
" I know your lying, but I'll leave it at that. One day you will tell me!" Hilary uncrossed her arms and grabbed her lip gloss, reapplying it and pop her lips.

I just couldn't believe she didn't believe me. Guess there is a first for everything.
"Why do you think I'm lying?" I frowned at her as I went into a stall.
" Because you can't look me in the eye." She said almost immediately after I asked.
"I was looking at my reflection. Ask me again and I'll tell you while looking in your eyes." I smiled a little, I've got good at lying. Especially about these bruises.
I exited the stall and saw Hilary, again with her arms crossed,
"Alright, I'm waiting." She tapped her foot losing her patience.
" Hilary" I grabbed her shoulders, " I fell down my stairs, as I hit the window sill downstairs." I stared at her.
She huffed out the breath I hadn't noticed she was holding,
" Fine, I'll drop it. " Hilary turned on her heels and simply waved her hand to follow her. I grabbed my back pack and obeyed.
"Clarissa, you know how I'm crushing on Braiden right ?" Well that's random. I nodded then realized I was behind her,
" yes I do. Why?" I gave her a look as I caught up to her.
Hilary glared at the floor, I grabbed her hand and stopped her,
"what's the matter? Tell me!" I demanded.
Hilary didn't look up.
"Hilary!!!" I shouted at her causing her to jump.
" well he said he liked me back and I-I .." She trailed on, I just stared at her with wide eyes.
" you slept with him didn't you?" I turned away from her. I warned her.
" yeah.." And that's all I heard when the bell rang. How long were we in the washroom?
"Well I guess that's it then." I walked to my locker, putting my English textbook away and my backpack as I didn't need to grab anything.
"Rissa, I didn't mean for it to happen this way!!" Hilary raised her voice as the halls got louder.
" I know, just disappointed but it's okay Hil. Really." I gave her a reassuring smile.
" I'm headed to foods, see you at lunch Hil." I waved behind me as I ran to the other building.
I was almost there when I ran into... A wall? What a fucking day. I quickly pushed myself off of what I thought was a wall.
" Ow. You don't need to push." A voice angrily mumbled.
"Sorry I thought you were a wall, I'm Clarissa. Sorry for bumping into you, uhh .. " I quickly backed up and looked up.
"Colton." Is all he said before widening his eyes.
" uhh well I have to go before I'm late, nice bumping into you Colton." I smiled and started running again as I heard the first bell ring.
That was weird.
