Chapter 6

Katerina Gilbert

To say that stopping by my locker and see Jace there was awkward would be an understatement. He would be at his locker and I would walk up and he wouldn't even spare a glance at me. Ok, let's be honest, it does kinda hurt that he tried to kiss me, failed, and is ignoring me for the rest of the day. With me, I can stand someone liking me, but not hating me. Ever since I was a little girl I have hated it when people hate me. But if it was someone like the Queen Bee hating me in a high school then that's okay. But how much Jace is showing he hates me just makes my eyes water a little. Just a little though.

I walked into the cafeteria that day thinking about how much Jace is ignoring me. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice that I had nowhere to sit. I had made no friends yet. Since yesterday I sat with Jace, this morning I figured I would again. But since he was bluntly ignoring me, I had no where to sit. I knew he wouldn't want me to sit with him. At that thought, a instantly lost my appetite and threw my food away in the big trash cans. I felt so sick that I was about to fall over. I didn't know what came over me but I quickly ran down the hallway and to the girls bathroom.

Now I'm leaning over the toilet. Choking on my own vomit. I tried forcing it out to stop the pain but it wouldn't come. Everyone was at lunch so no one would come and help me and I was afraid to head to the nurses office because of two reasons. The first being I don't want to get all dizzy hurrying down the hall and second, which is pretty pathetic, I don't know where it is.

When I was about to give up and just say that I was paranoid, I just laid my head against the stall door and sat criss-crossed on the floor glaring at the toilet as it taunted me. Constantly reminding me the pain I was choking on. All of a sudden, I felt a weird, metallic taste creeping through my throat and threatening to break out of me. I quickly crawled over to the toilet and let the contents of my stomach pour into the white bowl of water.

I threw up for about thirty minutes until I no longer felt anything in my stomach. I don't know what caused me to throw up but I was hoping it wouldn't happen again.

I flushed the vomit down and stood up shakily and exited the bathroom. The hallway was filled with students who have finished lunch and is on their way to fifth period. I looked around to see friends talking and and couples kissing or hugging. I looked to my right to see Jace deep in conversation with some younger looking teenagers probably a year younger than me. He was turned towards me but it seemed like the whole world was just a blur to him. He had a very concentrated business face which seemed to complement the white v-neck button up shirt and khakis.

A realized that I would have to walk that way in order to get to my locker. I looked to my left in hopes to find an escape route. But with my luck, there was no one I knew in that direction. Suck it up, I thought. I would have to talk to him anyway.

So I started walking. As I veered closer to him, I slowed down. I ducked down my head and let my hair fall in my face as I passed him. I was thinking of just speeding past him but the little part of the conversation he was having that I heard was interesting to say the least.

"But Al-" one of the two younger teenagers said but got cut off.

"No buts. We need to hold a conference with them tonight. Before he has a chance to change her." I notice the voice as Jace's and slowed my pace. I wanted to hear as much as I could before the bell rang.
