it was only fourth period, right before lunch. right before i would have to face the school and the pool catastrophe. i wasn't excited if you can't already tell.

plus, i hadn't seen grayson all day. i saw a few of his friends but they didn't seem to notice he was gone- maybe he was coming in later, like he had done routinely.

i breathe in lightly as i enter my math class, the one with fleur in it. after our argument today- i didn't want to talk to her let alone see her and it was probably the same on her end.

"good morning class. lunch is in an hour so i understand that you are starving so i'm allowing you to eat a snack in here. go get it if you want."

majority of the class gets up but i stay. i wasn't starving like i usually am and i'm pretty sure it's due to my anxiety that i have just started to feel regarding the current situation.

i hear someone cough from behind me and i turn to face whoever it is. when i see fleur i turn back around immediately and she sighs.

"look, about what i said earlier i'm sorry. it was- harsh, to say the least."

i don't turn back around to face her and instead watch as the students start to file back into the classroom.

"hey, i want to be friends even if you're not cool with mine- okay? i mean, i didn't backstab you."

she laughs lightly and i nod, still not completely forgiving her for what she said earlier but it was definitely a start.

the class begins and i feel a little bit better than i did before, if you consider at least 1 person at school not hating you than yeah.

"come on, if you don't want to go to lunch- we can just eat somewhere else."

"yea- i know."

"let's just eat on the pat."

"well- yea. but if i don't do it today, i'll have to do it tomorrow and i don't want to put all that crap on my future self."

"darn it, i kinda wanted to eat on the patio."

i laugh lightly, grabbing my lunchbag from my locker and turning to face her. to be honest, fleur was gorgeous- with thick black hair and soft brown eyes. i smile just looking at her.

"you know, fleur. why don't you date somebody?"

"hmm. i don't think there are any guys that are exactly my type."

"not just in sophomore year, fleur. come on, there are some really hot juniors."

she shrugs, looking at me and laughing. we walk in to lunch with everyone's eyes on us: jade, mae, nina all staring at fleur in shock.

i was shocked too, she had stood up for me and faced her friends.

"i live next to this pretty hot junior. he talks to my sister a lot but i've never met him."

fleur lets this slip out as the cafeteria stays quiet. i nudge her shoulder in excitement, raising my eyebrow mysteriously.

she chuckles before giving details on the boy's name: nate garner. he was apparently blonde, tall, and muscular but that was pretty mainstream now a days and so she planned on showing me what he looked like during our classroom transitions.

the students begin slowly talking again and my heart rate begins to slow down, that wasn't as hard as i thought. i breathe in lightly- my body no longer frigid from fear. fleur and i go sit at a table alone and ignore the looks that are sent our way, it's hard though, it seems like no one can keep their eyes off of us.
