Fragile

Sydney's POV

Monday morning.

I was dreading this day. But it came. I'm going to see Cody again, and it's going to be awkward as fuck. Aubrey would want an explanation of what happened on Saturday, and Cody had probably told Tyler, so I know that Tyler would come talk to me now.

Oh god. There were butterflies in my stomach as I drove to school. I was so nervous, and word does get around the school quickly.

But thankfully, the school didn't have the latest gossip yet. The latest gossip that I kissed Cody in spin the bottle, like very heatedly. It seemed like only the little number of people who were actually playing with us knew, and that was good.

This school would probably make up a rumour saying Cody and I were together, which we are definitely not.

I was even dreading the walk to my locker, because Cody's locker is right next to mine, and if he's there when I get there... Let's just not even think about that.

But it seems like my thought turned about to be true. And that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was when I saw a girl pressed against Cody against his locker. It was like someone had just pierced my heart and twisted the blade to make it hurt even more.

And it looked like Cody was enjoying every fucking second of it. He was passionately kissing the girl, acting like there wouldn't ever be another chance to. It's like he forgot about our kiss in the park.

Wait, I was being a hypocrite.. I did exactly the same this with Liam. But it seemed like he was doing this on purpose, to get revenge on me.

I quickly rushed to my locker, took out the things I needed, and then realised the two lovebirds had stopped, and were looking at me. My eyes were watering up but I kept it in this time. Cody had a smirk on his face, but when I looked in his eyes, I still saw hurt.

Maybe I'm just trying to make myself think that Cody still liked me, if he liked me in the first place anyway. Maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better, that Cody doesn't hate me.

I banged my locker shut and looked up at Cody and the random girl with confidence and attitude.

"What? Hope I'm not interfering. You can continue with your fucking. Don't mind me." I rudely spat, and walked away from them with my shoulders and head held up high.

This can't break me. I won't let it. I won't let Cody hurt me, I won't let it get to me. It's obvious we're not going to be a thing. I'm just going to let it slip. I'm going to give up on the idea of us.

But it was easier said than done. Trust me.

I had Biology first and I guess this was my unlucky day. No, I loved biology, and the teacher was awesome too, it's the students I had this class with.

Tyler and Cody.

The two boys I were dreading the most. After I caught Cody and the girl literally glued against each other, I went to the washroom, and stayed there for like half an hour, meaning I was late to class.

When I entered class, I looked around the room and spotted the only empty seat, next to Tyler, and behind Cody. Karma was not on my side today.

When the teacher looked at me, she let my lateness slip, probably because she saw my face and knew I had something going on, and beckoned for me to sit down. People could tell when I had something going on. I wasn't my usual bubbly self.

I quickly walked to my seat, and sat myself down, paying all my attention to the teacher.

"So, as I was saying, today will be a free period. Go do whatever you want, talk, doodle, go on your phones, whatever." She said and sat down, getting on with her own things.
