Not Over You

Chapter 2

Blaze

I arrive home from my last day of alternative school. Starting tomorrow, I will be beginning senior year back at my old school, Milledgville High. I haven't seen that place since the end of sophomore year.

Clearing my thoughts, I enter my apartment to be greeted with my pitbull Daisy. I throw my things on the couch and bend down to pet her.

I used to live with my parents, but once I showed up at the front door with a police escort, that was it for them. They kicked me out and shoved me into an alternative school without even a blink. I didn't have time to say goodbye to any of my friends, not that I wanted to. After I was in alternative school for a while, I decided to get emancipated. And that's how I'm here now. I have my own apartment, motorcycle, job, etc.

I stand up and walk to the kitchen to look for dinner. Opening the pantry, I decide to just get a bowl of cinnomon toast crunch due to my laziness. I grab the gallon of milk and pour it into the bowl.

As I'm eating, I'm left to ponder on what will happen tomorrow. I haven't seen anyone there for almost a year. Its kind of terrifying and nerve wracking to think about it.

I finish my cereal and head to the bathroom to shower. After I shower, I lay in bed knowing that my mind will be running with thoughts no matter how hard I will try to sleep,

I open my eyes to be greeted with the bright sun shining through my balcony window. I pick up my phone only to realize that its 8:30. School starts at 9:15 so I drag myself out of bed and into the closet.

It may not be everyone else's first day, but for me it is. I pick out a navy blue hoodie and a pair of khaki joggers. This should be acceptable with white vans and a gray beanie.

I brush my teeth then walk into the pantry to get Daisy's food. Once finished, I grab my phone, keys and backpack and head out the door.

"Alright Mr. Reynolds let me just print out your schedule and you should be ready to go to your second period." The front office lady says. I start to get nervous. Who will be in my next class? Will anyone recognize me? What will-

"Here you are. Have a nice day."

I nod and take the papers. The bell rings signaling that everyone has five minutes to get to second period. I'm a bit hungry so I decide to stop by the vending machines for a bag of Doritos.

As I walk there no one notices me. But when I get to the vending machines, I notice a particular girl who looks familiar. As she looks over all the snacks, it hits me. That's Abeline. Well I'll be damned. She looks almost the same from when I last saw her. I bet she'll be ecstatic to know I'm back. I try to think of a way to start a conversation. I got it!

"I think the yellow bag of m&m's is a good choice." I say smiling. Back when we dated, she was in love with those colorful chocolate candies. Every time I would pick her up for a date, I'd drop by the store before and would buy her a bag. She loved it.

She gets the bag of yellow m&m's and as she retrieves the bag I speak again.

"Oh c'mon. Don't tell me you've forgotten about me Abeline. Its only been a year."

As those words come out my mouth, she seems to freeze. She turns around slowly and our eyes meet. Everything drops from her hands and she looks speechless. What's wrong with her?

"Bl-Blaze?" She says in almost a whisper.

***
So I've decided that each chapter I will switch back between the P.O.V. It was a last minute thought but I think it would be more intriguing for you lovelies to know what both are thinking.

But speaking of which, what do you think happened to Blaze for him to get police escorted and sent to an alternative school?

How do you think Abeline is going to react upon his return?

Also, Blaze will be played by Colin Ford.
