The clock is ticking. Levi still wasn't back to being old Levi he was causing everyone pain and suffering. There was a lot of murmuring in the group today when he walked into Dungeons and Dragons. Although he wasn't the reason for the murmuring, behind him walked a boy with a broken smile and sad eyes. The boy looked timid and acted outgoing, quick to greet everyone and make them laugh. He was depressed, that was an easy catch. I studied his face when he smiled his eyes sagged a little telling me he wasn't truly happy. He was gorgeous though. His grayish blue-green eyes and porcelain skin, a sharp jawline with brown hair that hung down. All topped with a pair of rectangular glasses. He was incredibly tall and he was as tall as he was skinny. I want to get to know him he's fascinating and no one suspects his facade either. As the meeting progressed along I couldn't stand him. He continously faked everything and it was incredibly annoying. His consistent leg shaking tipped me off about anxiety because whenever he was spoken to it was set off. He was a lawful good in the campaign which seemed incredibly fitting he seemed like a person who placed others before himself. My boyfriend Leo stirred next to me noticing my fixation with him. "Liliana, he's so annoying I can't stand him" he said rubbing his hand on my thigh. I frowned and just agreed knowing if I argued with him he'd scream at me. It seemed like this hour took longer than ever my skin was itching to get away from Leo and his constant bashing of this new kid, speaking of which I never caught his name. When the clock ticked to 4 o'clock I left as soon as I could with Leo in my wake. I swiftly opened up my locker and tried to keep the conversation short. Leo gave me a hug and we parted ways. That's when he walked by and saw us but it was just a glance in our direction he didn't even seem slightly interested. Leo seemed to almost have a smirk of victory when he saw that as if he felt challenged by this newcomer. The ride home was short solely because I live a minute from the school but I didn't want to walk home in the brisk November breeze. My stop was at a graveyard with two houses between my house and the graveyard. They would always make jokes about how I raised the dead or lived in one. One day someone called me a zombie because I wasn't wearing makeup and apparently I looked like I belonged on the walking dead. But after I ruined Abigail and turned the whole school against her when she tried to turn all my friends against me suddenly there was silence and everyone was afraid of me. Not to mention that being on a varsity sport your freshman year was a huge deal especially for me since I didn't have a very well known last name. Everyone sort of just left me alone except for fucking Leo and Levi they refused to leave me alone and insisted that I spend time with friends and normally it was me striking them down not wanting to hang out with anyone. I pretty much never did either I wasn't one for social outings. The rest of the day went by as usual, me "doing" my homework and then crawling into bed at 8 and falling asleep at 10. As I drifted into my slumber I had a pit in my stomach like something bad was gonna happen the next day.

After arriving at school and getting to my locker I notice Leo was nowhere to be seen and that was way too odd. I open and get my books out of my locker as fast as possible happy to be able to avoid him for one while we've been dating. Man why am I even dating him if I don't even wanna spend time with him and then subconsciously I knew it was just to get sex out of him but he was doing the same to me anyways. Although neither of us have actually even had sex or even remotely done anything. As I was weaving in and out of the crowd of students to class with my head in my phone I noticed I bumped into someone, glancing up it was Leo. Praise the God almighty I don't know if I could've lived without seeing him. You know if you're reading this that's extreme sarcasm.
"You look especially petite today Liliana." His eyes immediately focused on my ass because I was wearing yoga pants and I saw his jaw clench a little, knowing what he wanted to say but he would never grow the balls to say it because he knew I'd deck him if he ever told me what I can and can't wear to school.
"Why do you always wear yoga pants?" He asked
"Cause they're comfy and make my ass look nice," I said really throwing salt into the wound.
"You know that Sadie really hates you for dating me." Ooo there it was he can never go a fucking day without bringing up his ex and comparing himself to her stating he was superior. Jesus he really had no fucking self confidence. It was always excuses with him every damn day.
"Okay but I don't particularly care either." I brushed past him and kept moving to my class before he could stop me again. I sat in my seat next to Francis. Meredith and Taylor were probably at breakfast. So we waited the alloted 10 minutes when they finally strolled in.
"It's about damn time" Francis said with his usual chuckly talk. Meredith strolled in swaying her hips and swinging both arms but one arm didn't move very well due to her cerebral palsy in her elbow. Taylor walked the complete opposite representative of one of those street thugs that wears their pants too low. They both sat down in front of Francis and I.
" So I'm kind of really regretting dating Leo"
