Starr's POV
It was Monday, which meant back to school. Jinxx had left back to L.A. with the guys, One Direction and Silver had gone back to the UK where they lived. I only had 1 month of counseling, 2 months of school, then I was moving in with Jinxx. I packed my backpack and went downstairs, ignoring David's attempts to say good morning. Luckily, he had no clue as to what had happened.
I grabbed a piece of toast and ate it, then headed out with Nikki. We got to the front of the school, and Drake was waiting for us, smiling. "There you guys are. I just wanted you to see how much this place has changed since you left." He led us inside, and the first thing I saw were the posters.
There were anti-bullying posters hung up along the walls. I saw a group of girls, half of them I recognized as wannabes, but the other half were 'outcasts' and they were walking and talking and laughing together. Ash came up to Drake smiling.
"Hey Ash." Drake said, and gave her a peck on the lips.
"Oh my gosh, are you two dating?" I asked. Drake nodded his head.
"Let me explain here. So, a week after you left, Chelsea moved away with her dad to go to Florida. Since then, popularity and the wannabes and snobs just sort of dispersed. More and more people started joining the outcasts, and basically we all started mingling, and bullying has gone down quite a bit since then. Ash and I started dating about 2 weeks ago." Drake explained.
I was in awe. Almost no more bullying? Chelsea was gone? I smiled widely. "Looks like hell and heaven have finally found peace. Thank god, I didn't want to deal with this!" I said excitedly. Drake chuckled.
"The teachers are still horrible though." We laughed, and the bell rang, so we headed off to our classes. The day went quick. I spent more time observing the changes than actually doing work, but it didn't matter. I didn't necessarily have to pass... I chuckled to myself. In no time, it was lunch time, and I smiled as I walked into the cafeteria.
Shelly came up to me excitedly and hugged me. I hugged her back. I had become a lot more friendly to hugs since I met the guys. "I missed you so much! So did you really go on tour with Black Veil Brides?! What was it like?"
I chuckled. "They're nice guys, and I didn't just go on tour with them... I'M DATING ONE OF THEM!!!" I practically screamed.
"OH MY GOD WHO?!" Shelly squealed back.
"Jinxx! And Nikki's dating CC!! Oh and Andley's out! And Jake is dating my friend Night, who's also a guy!" I explained excitedly. "I'm moving in with Jinxx as soon as the school year's over, same for Nikki with CC."
"Oh my gosh, you're so lucky!! Do you think I could meet them sometime?" Shelly asked.
"Yeah! Jinxx is coming back for the weekend, maybe we could hang out on Sunday?"
"Why not Saturday?" Shelly asked.
I wasn't sure how to asnwer... "Well... Because we're, uh, busy.. With, stuff..." I said nervously.
"Starr... What's going on?"
I had to decide. Tell her? Or lie to her? I sighed. "I have counceling." I finally said.
"Why? For what?"
"Um... Well, issues... Like, big issues..."
She glanced down at my arms, which were covered with a Falling in Reverse jacket. She folded her arms. "What kind of issues?"
I sighed again, looking down. "Okay, I self-harm, I had been clean for 3 months, but I relapsed, and I had to go to the hospital because I almost died, and they're sending me to counceling." I said quickly.
