Rowan's POV

I have been counting down the minutes till school is over.

I've also been muttering how many minutes under my breathe every 3 minutes.

"Thanks for the time update for the 50th time." Mr. Hood rolled his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing! Okay?" Mr. Hood shouted.

"You know you have been in a real bitchy mood for days!" I sassed rolling my eyes.

"Your being a bitch right now!" He yelled throwing down his pen.

I saw that there was only 5 seconds so I got my stuff and walked to the door.

The bell rang and I heard shouts of joy in the hall.

-

"Please?" Michael begged.

"You want me to go to a party at 10 at night? Which is in 2 hours."

"Yeah, pretty much." Michael shrugged.

"Okay, but we have to leave when I say."

I got up from my bed and walked to my closet choosing something simple.

I walked out of the bathroom and into my room.

"You look, wow." Michael said in shock.

"Thanks." I winked at him.

-

The party wasn't that great.

Michael and I sat at a small coffee shop at 11 o'clock at night.

"The disappointment in that party." Michael mumbled obviously upset that we left.

"Well, everyone was clearly drunk, Michael." I said shaking my head.

"We could've stayed." Michael grumbled under his breathe.

"You can go back, I'll stay here." I shrugged looking at Michael.

"But you're going to be alone here. It's not like you drove."

"If you're worried something's going to happen to me then just drop me off at home to be alone." I said trying to convince Michael not to go to the party again.

"But-"

"Take me home, Michael." I demanded.

Michael huffed while fishing his keys out of his pocket.

"I'll stay with you. Not just because I feel bad that you're going to be alone." Michael said in a stern tone.

-

The next morning, I was alone.

Michael might have left at some point in the night.

I searched for him everywhere.

I gave up by plopping down on the couch.

"Ryan"

Surprise, surprise.

"Hello?" I said lowly.

"Hi uh I won't be home for a few days." Ryan said.

And that's how my loneliness began.
