I pick up the phone and it is Stace calling. "Oh my god I just ran into jerkface." She says "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I couldn't come to you earlier but I couldn't find you and Christine didn't even come to school."
"It's okay." I say but my voice betrays me and I clearly don't sound okay. "Aw hun... do you want to meet up or something?" she asks. "Yes please." I say my voice shaky.
"Okay I'll be over in 20 okay?" she says. "I'm really sorry scar." She says before hanging up.
The drive back home is painful. Partly because I slept in a very uncomfortable position but mostly because Neil is back and my heart hurts.
When I get home Stacey is already waiting for me inside. Both she and Christine have spare keys.
How'd she get here before me?
When I reach home I am enveloped in a warm hug by Stacey. I want to cry but I can't because I'm just exhausted by crying in the car and I think I cried myself dry.
She makes me a cup of hot chocolate despite it being my house. What has that boy done to me? I thank her and she sits in front of me.
(Okay so this is a flashback in Stacey's point of view because it's too much of a hassle for me to write in a way that shows she's explaining it to scar)
I heard a new guy was coming and so I was excited to see him.
I was in literature when Principal Jones walked in with the new guy but guess who the new guy was, Neil. At first I couldn't believe it was him. I mean doesn't he live in a different state?
Principal Jones introduces him but he looks so different now. His hair is longer and he got a fricking tattoo. Say what you will about that guy but he is attractive.
I mean I was actually jealous when I found out Scar and him were dating, but I was also incredibly happy for scar because when scar was around him was when she was the happiest and she deserved all the happiness in the world and she had gone through so much with her dad.
All the girls were eyeing him and sighing dreamily at him. I try hiding my face from him since he might recognize me but I don't have to.
Not only his looks, his personality has changed too.
Neil always looked like a bad boy but he was also friendly and approachable. But now he just looked cold and reserved and the girls were going crazy. He now had the mysterious aura and the tattoo was like sealing the deal.
His walls were up and now it looked like it was going to take awhile to break down.
Thankfully the class was just about to finish when he walked in and so I didn't have to talk or anything and I quickly sneak out.
I need to find Scar is the first thing that pops in my mind. I have calculus next but I have at least 5 minute before the teacher arrives so I take this time to run and look for her. Her first class was Physics so I talk to a girl I know is in her class.
She says that scar didn't come and I can't tell you how thankful I am. Scar didn't come today thank the good lord. I take a deep breath and walk into calculus with a bit of weight off my shoulder.
I can tell her when I get home and she'll have time to prepare for it.
After calculus it's break and I go to my locker to get ready for my next class.
Nothing really happens except I hear a few weird rumors that Neil attacked a girl or something I don't know.
During lunch a girl with short hair comes up to me, her name is Jules we have Chemistry together. "Hey stace. Is everything okay with Scar?" she asks and I don't know I mean she didn't come to school so she must be sick.
