For a week I had stayed home from school hiding from everyone. I told my mom I was sick and whenever she told me to take my temperature I'd stick it under hot water first. And every time it popped up as 99.9 degrees. I felt guilty for lying to my mom but I needed to get away from things. Everyday that I pretended to be sick I would just watch my favorite tv shows and wrote in my journal.
When I went back to school it felt really awkward. Everyone was staring at me like I was a ghost or some creepy creature. Almost like they didn't know who I was or as if they were disgusted with me. I had no clue what I had missed while I was gone. Maybe Jillian leaked out something, a video, a message, picture, anything that could possibly embarrass me. I still haven't seen Jayden yet. I'll probably see him at lunch.
