Unexpected turns

Chapter XVI

Today's Friday. The day that everyone looks forward to. Wether it's because a new movie is coming out or because it's beginning of the weekend. For me, in this case, is the latter. It's been a hectic week and I really need to recharge.

I sat on my bed contemplating whether I should go to school or not. The main reason was because I really didn't want to see Michael. I can't believe I let him worm his way into my heart so easily. And now we're probably going to fail that art project because there's no way in hell I could handle sketching him in person.

But the reason I really wanted to go to school was the whole thing with Gregg and what he implied about him and Danni. I really need to find Danni and find out exactly what he meant by saying, 'Jelena wasn't the only person I cheated on you with.'

Groaning, I reluctantly pulled off my covers and headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Putting on the finishing touches of my makeup, I decided to walk to school today, even though I knew it was going to be more than a half an hour walk. I could use this time to think about the all the recent events that occurred.

I grabbed my phone and bookbag before locking up the apartment.

When I stepped outside, I put my headphones on. I made sure that the ear buds went on the correct sides of my ear.

Yes I'm one of those people. I mean what's the point of labeling the earbuds, if people are going to ignore it?

As the beat of the music finally came on, I felt a little bit at ease. I walked for a couple of blocks enjoying the weather. It was slightly breezy out but it wasn't chilly.

Since I was so deep in thought I hadn't even noticed I was standing on the front steps of school. Taking a deep breath, I walked up the stairs and pushed open the doors to see what awaited me.

I walked into first period half expecting to see Danni already there. She wasn't. I looked at my phone and checked the time.

8:25.

Danni had a few minutes before class started even when she did come we wouldn't have time to talk. We would probably have to talk after class or something.

"Aww, did that girl finally come to her senses and ditch your sorry ass?" Jelena asked batting her fake eyelashes.

You know, I never understood why females west those. I mean some look nice with them but the rest look like basura!

I closed my eyes and counted to ten in my head to suppress my annoyance. I really don't want that girl to get underneath my skin.

"No," I said sweetly. "But you wanna know something Jelena? Maybe if you spent as much time minding other people's business as you did in Trig, you'd actually just might pass your very first test before you graduate."

This earned a few laughs from the class which quickly died down when Jelena shot the culprits her famous death glare.

"Look," she said placing her elbows on my desk. "I know that you're upset about me taking away your little boyfriend from you and that's perfectly fine. I don't blame you."

At this moment I could feel all eyes on Satan and I which encouraged me to continue our little show.

"I mean Gregg was a fuckboy, you just took all my stress and problems. But Michael however is amazing. I can't believe you let a good one like him slip through your finger tips."
