A Life Worth Living

chapter 5

The next morning I put on a white crop top with a black skater skirt that covered my stomach from showing and I put on my black high top converse. When I got to school Hayes walked me to our lockers. When I opened mine a note fell out. It read:
Back off Hayes, he is mine and he always will be. I don't even know why he likes you you're ugly­­­ ---D. Grier

I stood there like I was paralyzed and Hayes walked over to me and took the note and my hand. He walked to the principal's office and they pulled the tapes. It was Dyllon, Hayes' ex girlfriend. They brought her in the same room as Hayes and I.

"Dyllon is there something you'd like to say?" The principal said.

"Not really. I was expressing my feelings." She used such a snobby tone.

"Well how about sorry?"

"I don't say that word." She crossed her arms. What a bitch.

"Well you have 2 weeks of detention starting today." The principal excused all of us.

Hayes and I started to walk to homeroom.

"Is that your ex?" I just blurted it out.

"No, she said we were dating and she always stuck to my side. Sorry about that, I should've said something to you about her." Hayes grabbed my hand.

"It's alright, she's kinda a bitch." We laughed and got to homeroom.

"Is everything ok?" Megan asked me.

"Yea, just some Dyllon problems." I looked down.

"Oh.. she's kinda a bitch, I found out they weren't even dating."

"Yea, me too." The bell rang and Hayes and I started to walk to first period when I got pushed from behind. I turned around and it was Dyllon. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. She pulled my hair and then I turned around and swung at her. I hit her square in the face, she let go of my hair and Hayes grabbed me and he dragged me to class.

"Nice shot, but she was only trying to get to you." Hayes grinned.

"Well she learned her lesson. I only defended myself." Hayes laughed and so did I. Then the speaker went off asking for me to go to the main office. I walked down there and went into the principals office.

"You hit her?" The principal kinda yelled.

"She pushed me from behind then she pulled my hair so I turned around and hit her, I was defending myself from that-­"

"No further words, I'm pulling the tapes."

"Okay." I smiled and relaxed in the chair I sat in. He watched the video and told me to leave. After that I the school day went fine even though everyone was looking at me. Although when I got home Annee didn't run up to me, but my mom did.

"What the hell happened?"

"Hayes' stalker left me a note saying to back off and that I was ugly, after that I was walking to first period and the girl pushed me and pulled my hair so I turned around and hit her." My mom gasped.

"Really? You hit her? Good job!" My mom exclaimed. I was kinda shocked that she was proud. I went inside and upstairs. I told Hayes to come over and the next thing I knew Hayes and I were in my bed watching netflix cuddling. It was 9:30 and Hayes' mom picked him up.

"You must be Dallas, I'm Elizabeth," she said.

"Hi, it's great to finally meet you!" I said and then she smiled.

"Thank you for having Hayes, I'll let you too say goodbye," she went in her car. Hayes was blushing. He kissed my forehead and said goodbye and left.

And I was starstruck again.
