Walking into my first period was like walking into a death trap. Students were running around, throwing things, and looking at me like I'm not supposed to be here. And I feel like I'm not. I was about to turn around to walk out but I felt a hand on my wrist. I spin around to see Ross looking at me weird.
"What's wrong?" He asks me.
"I can't do this Ross I want to go home." I say pulling my arm away from him.
"Brooke please just try." He says.
"No I'm leaving. Tell the others I'm sorry. I'll see them at home." I say walking out of the door only to run into a hard chest.
"Hey watch it." The guy says.
"I'm sorry." I say scooting back against the wall.
"Brooke?" He says.
"Yes who are you?" I ask finally looking up.
"Spencer." He said.
"Spencer. Sorry I have to go." I said getting up and running out of the school. I get to my car and start crying. I just sit there crying. I'm not sure how long I was sitting there but when I finally pulled myself together I heard a knock at the window.
"Brooke get out." Riley says.
"No." I say shaking my head.
"Brooke out now." He says sternly. I shook my head again.
"Brooke now!" He yells. Again I just shake my head. I can tell he's getting mad. "Fine." He says walking away. I look in my mirror and clean up my face. After all of my makeup is off I pull my hair into a high ponytail. Then there is another knock on the window.
"Hey Brooke." I turn to see Riley and Xavier standing at my window.
"Hi." I say back.
"Can you come out please?" He asks. I look at him than at Riley.
"I can't." I say looking away from them.
"And why can't you?" He asks. I take deep breathes. A panic attack is on the verge of happening. I haven't had one in years. I think the boys noticed because try started freakish out trying to get me out of the car.
"Brooke open the door now!" Try both yell at the same time. I go to reach the door but I couldn't move.
"R-Riley help." I stutter out.
"Call someone Xavier!" Riley yells still trying to open the door. I see Xavier pull his phone out and dial a number. I try again to reach for the door and this time my hand connects with the handle I pull and I hear the sound of the car open. Riley pulls it open and pulls me out laying me on the ground. Xavier hangs up and runs over to us. My breaths are coming out ragged.
"Brooke just breathe calm down. Look at me Brooke. You can get through this. Just look at me and breathe. Don't think of anything or anyone. Just empty your mind." He says to me. I slowly start to do what he says. My breathing becomes normal again and I'm not freaking out anymore. I'm not thinking about anything or anyone. When I was finally calm I looked over at the boys and gave them a small smile.
"Are you okay?" Riley asked me.
"Yeah thank you." I tell them standing up.
"Do you want us to take you home?" Xavier asks.
"No. I want to finish the day out at school." I said walking to the doors.
"Brooke wait." Riley calls out. I turn around and raise an eyebrow. "You didn't fix your makeup. Remember telling us to not let you go to school without makeup?" He says. I forgot about that. Oh well if they don't like the way I look than they can get over it.
