After like four classes, I could swear I've heard "Are you okay?" or "Where have you been?" like a million times. I didn't really mind it much. It was actually nice. It even made me feel better for a while then I had social.

As soon as I walked in his eyes were locked on mine. He literally stopped everything he was doing, his eyes followed me with every step that I took, but then when I sat down he immediately got up, grabbed a chair, and dragged it to where I was sitting. He sat down while still keeping his shocked expression. He seemed even more nervous than I was.

"Hey-" He stuttered.

"Keith go back to your seat right now!" Mr.Lock said from his desk.

"Oh yeah. Who's going to make me." He went back to being his old self. The scary and always angry self.

"Keith if you don't, then I promise you this time you'll get suspended." Keith looked at me, the teacher, then me again. He got up, and when he walked away his hand gently brushed my shoulder.

When the bell rang Keith tried to get to me, but I got away before he could say anything or even move.

School was over, and I finally got home. I got a text from Keith.

"where are you? Can we please talk? I've missed you so much." Text after text I still ignored him.

I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in. It's open." My dad walked in.

"Hey sweetheart so how's school?" My dad was so worried.

"It's fine. It kinda sucks that I missed out on a lot of lessons. Hah too much notes for me!" I joked around.

"Hah well that's good to hear." He paused for a while "So are you going back."

"I guess I am." I answered back knowing that tomorrow wasn't going to be easy.
