Just Your Basic Love Story

Chapter 2: The Return

I looked at the tile floor. My eyes swelled up in tears that I wasn't going to let fall. I looked up and saw them, Tim and Jake, looking at me. My face returned to its natural color and I thought, they know my name, they know who I am. A cover story shall fix this.

"Hey Tori." Jakes voice rang out quietly, like he didn't want Tim to hear. I smiled.

"You want to know why I followed you in here right?" I asked, he smiled but it faded fast. He looked at Tim who nudged him.

"Pretty much." He said. I thought, why did I folllow him in here? That was a question I wasn't going to answer to myself now.

"You know Megan, Gray? My best, uh, friend? Well, she, uh, like you and thinks when you, uh, turn 'cherry' it's cute. She says she would like to get to know you. I thought if I told you, it may make you feel better and it was well, stupid. I shouldn't of made-" I began, but something stopped me. It wasn't Tim, or Jake, it was Sara. She stood in the door way, but she wasn't alone. Megan was with her frowning. I smiled at her with a smile that said, I'll explain this later. She just shook her head, and walked away. I was about to follow her when the bell rang. 1st period. I ran out of the doorway nudging Sara. She grunts and grins, but I don't look, I just keep on walking.

My bag thumped against my side as I ran down to the West WIng. I heard laughs but didn't look. My head hung looking at the ground.

Out of absolutley nowhere, Emily Hans sticks out her foot form behind me, then runs ahead. I dodge her foot yet I instantly fall. I look in front of me to see Sara grinning a giant grin. They giggle and walk away.

I ignore the laughs from crowds as I trudge up the stairs. I walk up the last stair when I hear something.

"Tori, is that you?" I can't see the face, but I recognize the voice. Then the face comes out of the crowd. Then there is silence. I look at the person, it's Taylor. I run.

I run towards the door and hear no footsteps behind me. Relieved I reach the door and enter the hallway. Something stops me, I look closer down the hall. There is something wrong. There was no one in here, except me and someone standing near my locker! I run to my locker and stop. I turn to run but she graps my wrist to pull me back. It was Taylor.

"Hey sis." She grins, I faint.
