We walk into the school & everybody is by our lockers expect ray we're talking and laughing we start walking to class & ray is headed our way I separate myself from the group & hide in the crowd & walk to class .... after school I drive home Its more like prison then home my mom still haven't called it's almost been a year I fucking hate her I lay in my bed & then I get a text message
Conversation

Me: about what ray
Ray: I hate when people try to avoid me like can we be friends
Me: I do a pretty good job at avoiding you so & how am i supposed to be friends with somebody who has/had my heart
Ray: can you at least give it a try
Me: fine w.e

End of conversation

I text jewel & told her what happen she laughs & told me I have to face my fears fuck fears he already lives in my neighborhood like down the street I already gotta avoid him like this is so hard ... I go in the kitchen to get something to eat I grab a handful of snacks but I eat when I'm sad or thinking I put on some shoes & walk to the park I sit & the swing & kick my feet it's so quiet & relaxing I close my eyes & imagine I'm flying .... I jump off & land it perfectly as I'm walking home ray comes outside my heart skips I beat & I keep walking hoping he doesn't see me Ray: SHY!

I stop dead in my tracks I want to run but my legs won't move by the time I get myself together rays in front of me.... I look up
Ray: hey
Me: hey
Ray: where you going
Me: *points* home
Ray: wanna stay out here & chill
Me: I would but I have homework
Ray: o ok... well bye
Me: bye
I run home & by run I be hitting 4 flat like something was chasing me
I don't have homework I lied but I can't hang with him not now I feel like I want to go die in a hole my life is going down hill fast & there's nothing I can do about it
