Tuesday morning. Four days after the party. Two day after the surgery. Three days after finding out I was pregnant. I walked back from the bathroom and sighed. I don't wanna go to school today.
I looked in the mirror and adjusted my hair. Yesterday I got crochet braids so the spots where my hair was pulled out will not be visible
( Ignore the name on the necklace 😂💀)
I grabbed my keys and I walked to my car. I drove to Chick fil a and got breakfast for myself. I drove to the school and sat in the car until there was 10 minutes til school started
I walked in the school with my head down, I kept my eye on my cast. I refused to look up. I heard laughing and smart remarks but I ignored them. I made it to the third floor and I walked into Independent Reading class.
This is just what I needed. A full hour and a half relaxing and reading. I sat in my seat and pulled out my book. At the end of the week I have to turn in the summary of the book.
Last Block Of The Day
I found myself running to my car and crying. Someone showed me the video. I was devastated. The girl who showed me was a junior in my U.S Government class. She only showed me the part where I was already past out and they dragged me to the woods laughing at me.
Before the bell rung and the students cleared the halls, I ran to my car and sat in the drivers seat crying. I'm embarrassed, I'm hurt, I feel vulnerable. I hate this.
I started my car and drove out of the school. I never skipped school before, but I guess today will be the day. I drove to my neighborhood and parked next to the playground, five minutes from my house.
Tae gave me some advice and I was unsure about it.The more and more I thought it through, it made more sense. I really need to talk to Dame so I guess I'll wait an hour until school ends to go over there.
2:16 pm
I knocked on his door praying that he opened it.
He slowly opened the door with his head down. He stepped to the side and let me in without say a word.
" I need to talk to you Damien." I waited for a response but he kept his head down as if he was avoiding eye contact
" Damien" I said sternly making him look up but not in my direction
" what's wrong?" I asked becoming agitated
" Look, Justine" He finally looked into my face with his usual emotionless expression" I don't want to be around you anymore"
A huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
" Me either" my response made him glare at me
