7:34am Mason - can we tlk, @ school 2day?
7:39am Tatiana - sure.

I walked into school, another crappy ass day at school, I said as I shut the door, "whack!", oh shoot, I shrieked, opening the car door and freeing my hand, did I just slam the car door onto my hand?! Shoot shoot that hurt! I looked at my dad, and smile, why'd I smile! ugh too late he just drove off, ouch, I said looking at my finger, it was dented into my finger, due to the pressure, I could see it turn purple, the numbing pain was enough  to set me screaming, but I kept it in, I walked into school and right into the office, "good morning Mrs Jarvay" I smiled, "hello, how may I help you today?" she smiled, and I go on jabbering on about my stupid incident, "ouch just give me a minute" she says standing up and walking into the medical room. About a few minutes she comes out with an ice pack, "here keep it on your finger and hopefully it swells less" she said smiling, I nodded and walked off, as I walked to my quad I tried bending the stupid finger, dammit, it hurt! Right lets get some tape or something on it after recess.

"what happened?" Abigail asked, "oh just slammed the car door on my finger," I said sighing, "ouch Tats" Abril said, I rolled my eyes, "I'll go put my bag away okay?" I said, they all nodded and I walked over to where my locker was, "oh hey Tatiana!" smiled Cacey, "oh hey, you just got here?" I said turning my lock, "yea" she smiled, I click my lock open, shoving my bag over, "ow" I wince, "here let me help" Cacey insists, "what happened to your finger?" she said, eyes on my finger, examining it. "oh I just slammed it with the car door getting to school today" I said fake smiling, "don't smile, doesn't it hurt" she laughs, "ha ha funny," I smile, "CACEY!" someone calls, I turn around and see Daniel approaching us, "oh man" Cacey whimpers, then laughs, "Ugh I'll be right back," she smiled, I nodded and continued shoving my books up onto my shelf. I pull out a bandage roll, oh god how convenient! I take my finger out of the ice pack and wrap it in the bandage, wincing at the pain, "shoot" I murmur to my self, "uh hey", I turn smiling, "hey", "I need to ask you something" Mason said looking down at the ground, I grab my finger and shove it into my blazer pocket, "sure what is it?" I said, "has, has Sam said anything about you know me?" he stutters, "uh no I haven't spoken to him, you should go ask Cailtin" I mumble, closing my locker door. "oh okay um thankyou" he murmurs fiddling with his fingers, I smile, "alright I'll see you around then" he smiles, I nodded and walked away, it was so much awkwardness between us now, I don't know if it's a good thing but I don't seem to like it.

"hey Cailtin how's Sam doing?" I asked, "uh I guess he's doing good" she said giving me an uncertain look, "haven't you talked to him lately?" I said, "no I have it's just that Damien, has really gotten to his nerves" she murmurs, "how?they don't even go to the same school" I questioned, "they don't but the bumped into each other at the mall the other day. They were close to punching each other's guts, but because I was there they resisted back, but honestly you can see the anger and tension in their eyes from a couple of miles away" she mumbles, "oh right. So are you okay?" I asked, "I guess so" she smiles. "Alright guys listen up! We've got a new student," I turn and look at Abril and then over Cailtin at Abigail, I mime, "who the hell?". Abigail shrugs her shoulders, and I snapped my head back to the front of the class. "hi sir!" yells oh yes Caleb. I looked over at Abril who had her eyes opened so wide you could see her brain, I smile and nudge her , "OOOO LOOOK ITS CALEB" I heard Abigail whisper, we all start giggling but Abril. " I don't like him" she states picking up her pen and writing over her notes, Caleb walks over in the row behind us and sits behind Cailtin, "oh sure you don't" I whisper, she hits me and I weil in pain, "you can't go hitting a person who nearly got her finger chopped off this morning." I said opening my book, I heard her giggle under her breath.

"Caleb stop it!" Caitlin screams, Caleb's sitting behind Cailtin and it seems like they were having the time of their lives, you know him kicking the back of her chair at a constant rate. "am I glad that isn't me" Abigail laughs, which causes Abril to laugh, I smile and keep writing.

We walk in a line to our lockers, "you know what we should do, put Caleb and Abril together for a project" Abigail said, Caitlin and I nodded, "I'd love to see that happened!" Cailtin smiles gleefully, "ahem" Abril said clearing her throat, "you know I heard that" she sneers, "hear what?" I said leaving everyone giggling. We part ways and walked to our lockers, I shuffle my books to my left arm and use my right to unlock my locker, I struggle to pull my books over, it's the stupid finger, who knew how hard life could be with one finger short like who knew we needed all 10!! my pencil case slides off my arm, Oh shoot! I said trying to lean over and grab it but I know if I try I'll miserably fail, I squint my eyes, ready to hear the pencils clatter but nothing, I look up and see Mason, who had caught it, "swift move" I said smiling, he pulled his arm out and handed me my pencil case, "it was nothing" he smiled, he looked at my hand and then up at me, his expression dropped and he grabbed my books, shoving me to the side and placing them onto my shelf surprisingly neatly, turning around he dropped his books on the floor and turned so he was holding my hand, "what happened?!" he said, looking inexplicably worried, "I just slammed the car door on it" I said a bit annoyed because it was like me millionth time I was asked today, "are you okay" he said unbandaging the finger, "Mason what are you doing!" I yell pulling my hand back, but his grip tightened, "Mason," I said, he's looking at the wound that was now purple and swollen, "be careful next time," he whispers, bandaging my finger up, you would never guess how gentle he was, but I enjoyed him caring, wait no I didn't, "uh thankyou" I said smiling, I kneel and pick up his books on the ground, I feel his warm hands on both my shoulders, "don't worry about my books" he grinned pulling me up, I smile and nodded. It felt like like a million butterflies were high on "oxygen", It felt more than nice, it  was like every conversation we had. But this time he was the one that walked away.
