I fall asleep on the couch and the next morning I'm in a world of pain.
Geez I need to stop falling asleep in odd places.
I immediately realize that I have school today... which has Neil. Oh god.
I shower and I just can't, for the love of god, find an outfit to wear today. And no it's not like I want to look good for Neil but any outfit I choose feels like I'm dressing for him.
If I wear something nice it'll look like I did it for him. If I down dress then it'll be like I let his presence effect.
God I hate this.
In the end I settle for a simple outfit that I'd usually wear; a plain loose white shirt with black skinny jeans.
I almost don't go to school because come on Neil is there but if I don't go it just shows that he's won. No I'll be fine. A guy can't stop me from living my life.
I reach school just in time for the first time. The people who are in the planning committee are asked to gather in the hall and so I say goodbye to Stacey and Christine who is filled in on everything.
I haven't run into jerkface yet. Thank god. Hopefully he didn't come today. Stacey did say he left school after lunch yesterday maybe he's not coming back. fingers crossed.
I go to the hall and I see the same people I've been working with. The detention group and the popular group.
Mrs. Claudia gathers us around, she looks very tired and cranky, "I'm so sorry for not being able to come yesterday but I'm here now and we have a lot to do. As you all know the dance is next week and we've barely finished half our work. So chop chop."
And we go do our usual work.
It's funny because the "popular people" are here and they don't really want to do any work but they have to do it anyway.
Not really funny when I say it out loud is it?
I get back to my work which is basically sticking stuff Blake hands me on the wall. I don't even get why Blake is stuck with me because he is a great artist and they are painting a wall over there so he should be doing that work instead of sticking shit with me.
"Let's go." I tell him sighing and he chuckles. I climb on a fairly high step ladder while he passes me stuff. "This is stupid." I mutter and Blake says tell me about it.
After awhile Blake hands me a star cutout yes a star cut out and I'm instructed to stick it high and so I climb on the top of the step ladder while I struggle to paste it.
I hope I don't fall because I'm scared as hell but if I do I hope I fall and sprain my leg or something so that I don't have to do this.
Suddenly the doors of the hall opens, sending a chill up my spine. I swear I'm going to fall here but Blake is holding the ladder for me so I trust him.
"Blake if I fall imma blame you." I say though I can't see him because my eyes are on the star I'm trying oh so hard to paste. He chuckles and wobbles the ladder a bit on purpose.
"Holy fricking oreos!" I scream and hug him because he's the only stable thing. "Jesus I nearly died!" I say my heart pounding.
"If doing that gets me hug like this, Scar I'll do this forever." He winks and I hit him. He's spending too much time with Kevin.
"Oh god, I don't need another cheesy guy in my life, I already have Kevin." I say and he chuckles.
Suddenly Mrs. Claudia calls him and he tells me he'll be back in a jiffy. Yeah he better because I'm scared to death that I'll fall.
