I got no sleep. I didn’t want to go to school. When I pulled up to my parking spot, turned off the car and just sat there. I watched people walked around looking happy. I saw Dustin and Mike talking. The conversation looked like it was getting heated because people were gathering around them. I took a deep breath and got out of my car. I started walking towards them then just then Maria jumped in the middle of them. I guess she spotted me because she yelled my name with made Mike and Dustin look over at me.
“Elizabeth?” Mike sounded so sad.
“Dustin would you like to walk me to class?”
“Ya sure.” he grabbed his backpack off the ground and slugged it over his shoulder. He walked over to me put his arms over my shoulder and pulled me into him.
“Your going to make this worse.” He smiled.
“Mike no!” Maria yelled. Dustin was pulled away from me and Mike Punched him in his face. Dustin fought back.
“Stop it!” I yelled but they weren’t listening. I tried pulling Dustin back but he was to strong.
“Please stop.” A couple of guys jumped in and pulled them apart.
“You two are Morons!” I yelled, turned, and headed to my locker.
“Lizz wait.” Maria yelled after me.
“What was that about?” she lightly giggled.
“Go away Maria.”
“What! Why?”
“I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Why?”
“Just leave me alone.” she grabbed my arm.
“No!What did I do wrong?”
“You really want to know!”
“Yes.”
“You almost slept with Erick and then you get drunk and slept with my brother!” I was yelling and people were staring.cShe had the look of shock on her face.
“Now leave me alone.”
“Izz.”
“Don’t.” I went to my locker grabbed my history book and headed to class. I was the first one there. For the rest of the day I tried avoiding people, but lunch was hard. People where staring at me and whispering, I ignored them but what was the hard was I saw Maria and Mike talking in the cafeteria looking around. I quickly rushed out and straight into Dustin. His left side of his face was swelling.
“You should put ice on that.”
“I’m fine.”
“Why were you talking to him this morning?”
“He came up to me. He wanted to know why we were together and why I had answered your phone the other day?”
“And?”
“I told him we ran into each other and you were upset and you told me what he did.”
“Fine.” I headed to the library.
“Wait are you made at me?”
“Yes and no.”
“What did I do?”
“You hit him. And yes I know he hit you first but I don’t know.” I was frustrated.
“Look I’m sorry. Let’s get some lunch okay.”
“I’m not hungry so I’m going to the library. Your welcome to join me.”
“Okay I’ll met you there.” As I was heading to the library Emily and her gang spotted me.
“Oh look it’s the slut.”
“Sorry Emily but that’s your title.”
“I told you mike is mine and I would get him back.”
“So your told -ally in love with him.”
“Yes.”
“Then why did he fight from me this morning and the other question is do you trust him?” she went quiet.
“I thought so.” I walked around them.
“Elizabeth stay away from him.”
“Emily maybe you should tell him that.” I walked into the library grabbed the table in the way back and let out the breath I was holding. I took out my text books and absent homework and started working on it. The smell of pizza hit me before Dustin spoke.
“You want a bite?” He held out the already bitten pizza.”
“No thanks I’m not that hungry.”
“At least take a sip of my drink you look really pale.” I took the vitamin water from his hand.
“That’s probably because I just told off Emily.” I took a sip of the berry flavor and I wanted to gag.
“You did what! What did she say?”
“She was loss of words.”
“Nice.” for the rest of the lunch I did my work while Dustin talked. The bell rang with meant class and I felt sick because I had Mike and Maria in the last three of my classes. I spent my class time ignoring both of them and taking notes. When the final bell rang I was the first one out of class and to my locker. I opened my locker so fast that pictures of Maria and me flew onto the floor. As I bent down to pick them up someone already hand them.
“So are you not talking to her too?” Dustin handed me the pictures.
“Yes.”
“Why is that?” he leaned against the locker next to mine.
“I don’t have to tell.”
“Fine. I get the hint. Hey have you done any of the make up homework.”
“Ya I’m all most done with it.”
“Really!? Can I copy it?” I giggled.
“No but I can Be your tutor.”
“Are you trying to sound naughty?” I punched.
“Shut up. If your not nice to me I won’t help you.”
“Okay okay. I’m sorry that was inappropriate .”
“Thank you.”
“You get this stuff?” He grabbed the book from my hands while I shut the door.
“I’ve already done this stuff. The Uk and the American school system is really different. I’m sorry to say but you are way behind us.”
“Ya America Sucks.” I just smiled.
“How about I follow you home.”
“I got practice today.”
“That’s fine I can wait.”
“Are you sure.”
“Ya. Like there’s anyone waiting for me at home.”
“Cool.”
“I’m going to put my things in my car I’ll meet you in the field.”
“Okay.” he headed off to the locker rooms. I was getting light headed. I wonder if I was getting sick?
