One day I Will.

Forgive and forget.

I run my hands though my hair in the bathroom, pacing back and forth. I breathed out and walked out of the bathroom. "Oh god Tatiana! Where have you been?!" Abigail shrieked, "I'm fine, I'm fine guys just toilet break" I smile. "Your not fine" Abril says furrowing her eyebrows. Tears start forming in my eyes and I quickly wipe them away. Cacey pulls me into a hug and hushes me. I walk to my locker and click it open, a note inside falls out, I pick it up knowing that it was from Mason, I fold the piece of paper up and shove it in my bag. I close my locker and turned around to walk to our spot with the girls seeing Mason in the back looking directly at me, he looked hurt, but I wasn't sorry for causing that. I will never be.

"What so Alyssa was your best friend?!" Abigail yells, "that's why I moved here" I smile "and I have you guys, and I'm so grateful for that". The bell rings and I groan because my next class was religion, being in a catholic school and all, but luckily Mason wasn't in my class, I could finally spend a period without him being on my mind all the time. I walk to my locker and click it open, only to be greeted by another note that had fallen out, I picked it up and shoved it in my pocket along with the one I received earlier on today. I walked into class and sat down with Abigail by my side, she kept on making jokes on the guys in our class and I couldn't help but laugh at them. " so you like anyone?" I smirk, "maybe maybe not." She blushed, I punch her playfully on the shoulder before she yells "yea alright fine, I do" she blushes even more and tilts her head down, I giggle, "so who's the unlucky guy?" I wink, she laughs and looks around, "I'll give you a clue, he's in this class" i look around, bingo! "Gage" I said confidently, her mouth gawks open, "WHAT HOW THE-" "shhh shhhhhh" I say and I put my finger to her lips and Mrs Parlo walks in, "how'd you know" she whispers, I smile "I'm just too good Abigail". We continued on with our lesson in glee, too much actually, and got told off once or twice here and there. The bell for fourth period rung and we managed to hobble out of class in one piece. "What do we have next?" I asked Abigail, she looks at me down at her books and then says "Art." I murmur the word yes, and then I realise Mason, that stupid jerk, always ruining my day. "Hey can you tell Mrs G I'm in sick bay?" I mumble, "what?!"she yells, "I'm going to sick bay tell Mrs g I won't be there" I repeat, "what why?" She asks in confusion, I give her the look and say "Mason". She nods and I walk off to sick bay.

"What's wrong today hun?" The receptionist, uhh Mrs Jarvay? Asks. "I've got a really bad headache and it pounding making me feel really dizzy miss." I say. "Alright we'll get you in sick bay" she gets off her desk and guides me into the sick bay room, "I'll be back in one second honey, hold tight" she smiles and disappears. A guy sitting on the other side of the room wasn't facing the door but had familiarly brown hair and the same height as.. Mason. Do not - "sorry there and your name is?" I flinch "oh uh I'm im Tatiana" i smile. Holy I was close, it ain't Mason "I'm Justin, your excuse to be dismissed from class and being here is?" , "headache" I say pointing to my head he nods and smiles. "What so you hate the class or something?" He asks, "no more like I hate my partner who I have to work with." I say as I rolled my eyes. "And who is this partner?" I furrow my eyebrows, "he's called by the name Mason, Mason McDonell, ring any bells?" I say. "Ah him, jerk he is." He looks at the ground. "I couldn't agree more" I say, his head lifts up and he smiles. The door swings open, "okay take these and walk back to class honey, Mrs G said you need to attend class today" I smile and take the pills from her hand and chug it down with water. "I guess I'll see you around, Justin." I say smiling, "yea, have fun" I walk out of the room and slowly made my way towards the arts centre where all art classes were held.

"Tatiana, hi, please take a seat" Mrs G says whilst guiding me to my seat, "Mrs G I don't need help I'm fine thank you" I say chuckling, I sit and knowing Mason is sitting on the other side of the table made me mad. Mrs g goes through our excursion next week, I tried paying attention to only realise I totally blacked out, sleeping. . . . .I feel arms around my body holding me like a guinea pig and the bobbing of a steady pacing cause my eyes to fling opened, I look up, "Mason put me down" I stammered, he haults to a stop and slowly lowers me down, "I'm sorry" he says, I steady myself on the ground and walked off without looking back, damn those pills seriously did something. I hear footsteps growing louder as I walk, I try to walk faster but then I hear the puff of Mason's breathe against my cheek, "please i, we, need to talk" he huffs. "Go on." I say deadpan, he stands up, well over my height and confesses, "I wasn't lying when I said I liked you, you know I'm ready to prove it, I'm picking you up tonight at 6, and your coming whether you like it or not" he says, I look up at him as he blushes, I smile knowing he was shy and nervous around me, I punch his hard chest and walk away, he murmurs to himself "dammit Mason dammit" I turn around and shout "I didn't specifically say no so you better be there by 6.. Sharp!" I yell across the hallways. This better be good.

I press the speaker button on my phone, "Abril! I need help, I have no idea what to wear!", "God wear your black jeans with your white top!" She yells, "alright alright," I yell pulling the clothes she said off the the hangers. "Thanks Abril, I gotta go now, I'll update you on what happens." I say "alright have fun!" I roll my eyes and ended the call. I walk into my bathroom and stare at myself in the mirror, why? Why me. Was all I could ask myself. Ding dong the doorbell rings, shoot that's him, I walk into my room and grab my phone, running down the hallway to the front door, "mum I'll be back by 10 okay?" I yell, "yes honey all good, just don't do anything-" "yes mum don't worry" I chuckled "bye!" I yell once more before I shut the door. "Hey Tatiana, your looking beautiful tonight" he smiled, "don't play those tricks on me it ain't gonna work," I snap, "For tonight please act like you actually like me" he says, "I- fine." He smiles and grabs my wrist dragging me to the car, firstly his car looks amazing, it's beautiful. And second of all I forgot to ask him where we were going. "So where are we going?" I ask. "My art studio" he answers; wait a second he has an art studio, no, no way.

We park in front of a hug warehouse, I hop out of the car and followed at a certain distance behind him. He looks at me before he opens the door, I look up at him "what are you waiting for?" I say, he chuckles and pushes it open, my eyes squint because of all the light that shone, man was this building bright on the inside. I walk in and to my amazement the place was amazing, my jaw was probably hanging off my face. "This- this is yours?" I gulp, "well yea" he chuckles, "here follow me I have something for you" I follow along still gawking at the beautiful white ceiling and walls with paintings hung within every corner. "My eyes adjusted when a painting was covered with a cloth" I furrow my eyebrows, "what's this?" I say, "take a step closer" Mason says. He pulls the cloth off, and to my surprise it was a painting, but what made me tear up was it was a painting of me and Alyssa. Mason took a step closer to me, the tears were coming, I could feel it, then one fell, Mason raises his thumb and wipes the tear away. I smile and pull him into a hug, "thank you thank you" I mumble into his chest. We stand there for what feels like a long time before he pulls out of the hug, "there's more to it" he smiles "what no" I giggle, he shows me around the corner and there sits fries and pizza on the ground, surrounded by beanbags, pillows and blankets oh and don't forget the flatscreen tv. I smile as I whack him on the chest I walk towards the beanbags and fell onto them. I was happy, with Mason. But what made me the happiest was that he painted the picture of me and Alyssa. But still, what a jerk.
