Song: too many faces by Cherri bomb

------------

It was now Wednesday and when Julia didn't show up at my house to take me to school I was surprised. Usually if she wasn't coming to school I would receive a 'sorry kid I'm sick can't come to school don't miss me too much now' text from her but I never got that. So I rang Michael to see if he could pick me up to save me from walking. I'm just that lazy.

"Hey Blaze what's up?"

"Julia hasn't showed up at my house and I haven't gotten any texts from her to say if she's coming in or not. Would it be ok if you could pick me up?"

"Yeah of course I'll be right over!" I hung up the phone after saying goodbye. Today I wore my light washed high waisted shorts with my Fall Out Boy white shirt and my black high top converse. I pulled my hair in to a messy pony tail not bother by how it looked. Soon enough Michael pulled up. My dad was already away for work so I grabbed my keys and bag, leaving the house and walked over to Michael in his truck.

"Hey, have you heard from her yet?"

"Nope, and it doesn't look like I am. Maybe she's just sick and forgot to tell me. It's happened before." I hoped I was right.

We picked up the rest of the boys before heading to school. When I got out of the truck I was shocked to what I was seeing.

Julia standing there with Stacey. Michaels ex from over a year ago. The girl we both hated with a passion. Stacey had never spoken a word to me or Julia but she had the reputation which I was not a fan of. I thought Julia wasn't either.

But that's not the only thing different. She was standing there in a baby pink skirt and a white crop top. With black heels. Julia never wears heels. Not even to my mothers funeral did she wear heels. She always wears flat shoes.

"Well well look who it is. Little Blaze Edwards. Miss your best friend yet?" Stacey spoke to me. I was confused. Why the hell was Julia doing this?

"Not if this is who she is, no I don't. Have her all you want Stacey she isn't my problem anymore." And I walked off not even waiting to see if the boys were following behind me. At this point I didn't care.

Julia betrayed me. She spoke to me and ranted on to me so many times about how she never wanted to be like Stacey , or dress like her. That's exactly what she's doing. Unlike Julia I stand up for what I believe in, that's the way I was raised.

So I turned round once more, with my fingers up in the air and screamed "Fuck you Julia! Don't come crying to me when Stacey bitches about you behind your back!" And I finally walked off in to the building only to be caught by the principal. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Come to my office a minute Ms Edwards." I pulled my strap up from my bag on to my shoulder as I walked behind. I heard a bunch of 'oohs' from people but I was in no mood. Once we reached his office, I slumped in the car in front of his desk.

"Now Blaze, you've had quite a few visits to my office in the past year." I gulped. That was at the time my mother passed and I didn't want to do anything and education was the least of my worries. At that time I failed most of my exams.

"Yeah well things happened at the moment in my time and you've just reminded me about the death of my mother when I finally recovered." I snapped. I was already in an angry mood I didn't need reminded that I no longer had a mother in my life. The only mother figure in my life was Michaels mother, I loved her from the moment I met her.

"I'm sorry about that Blaze. It's been a year. But that does not excuse the language you used towards Julia Pierce."

"She betrayed me."

"I still find that no excuse." This dude doesn't give up does he?

"You know the saddest thing about betrayal? Is that it never comes from your enemies." After I spoke those words I stood up and walked out of the office but was grabbed by the arm.

"Michael? What are you doing here?"

"I waited out here for you. The boys are waiting round the corner. Cmon lets go." He slung his arm over my shoulder and my stomach felt like it was melting inside. I knew I had feelings for Michaels and it wasn't hard to deny but now I can't- fuck. What if Julia tells Stacey I have feelings for Michael and then Stacey goes for him again?

Thoughts bubbled my mind as the bell rang for class. I then realised I had to sit beside Julia in biology. Great. The good thing was Calum and Michael sat behind me.

Once we sat down Julia didn't arrive. Strange but I didn't care.

Half way through the lesson she walked in with big red lips and a hickey on her neck. She took her seat beside as I turned my head the other direction.

"Bitch." I heard her mutter under her breath.

"Slut." I muttered making sure only she could hear.
