Amira is the new girl in town. She struggles with the pressures of popularity and during this, she meets a boy nicknamed "Scorpio". Soon after, she learns why they call him Scorpio.
I was late to school and missed my first two classes. Which was fine for me. It only made the day shorter. I wanted to avoid everyone and the weekend made it easy for me. My phone was still at Red's so I didn't have to worry about social media, or talking to anyone. I just didn't want to deal with society. I really didn't want to run into Red, she'd ask so many questions. I didn't have to worry about Cynthia, because she was still on leave from school. Amyra has been questioning me too, but I just didn't speak on it. But my main worries were Scorpio.
Walking to my locker, I was sure I looked like shït. I literally took a shower then put on shorts and a too-big shirt, clothes I usually slept in.

While I was at my locker, the bell had rung. People swarmed the hallways, heading to their third classes. I grabbed my science book and then found my way in the crowd. I refused to look at a face and instead zoned out as I went on my way. Someone grabbed my shoulder. I jerked, being faced with Red. "Are you in pajamas right now?" She gasped. I shrugged. She linked our arms together. "Here's your phone, by the way." She says, giving it to me. I took it, tucking it under my arm with my book and folder. "What the hell did he do?" She asked, staring straight ahead as we walked. I was surprised she knew it had something to do with him. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I was on snapchat this morning and saw Antalya's post." She replied. I squinted my eyes. Antalya? Ohh, Antalya. "Okay." I shrugged. "It looked like Scorpio was in her bed." She hesitated to say. She turned her head to see my reaction. In a way I didn't believe it, but even if it was true, I couldn't be mad at him. "Oh." I tried to seem unfazed. "Girl?? What the hell do you mean, oh? Did you already know?" She asked. "We broke up Red." She seemed shocked. "When?" She asked. "Well..He broke up with me. After the party." I said. "Why would he do that? Especially now, with you going through all this? Where the fück is he?" She began searching with her eyes. "I cheated." I blurted out. She was shorter, so she was looking up at me with a confused face. "I was drunk and I did some stupid things..But I told him right after. I didn't want to hide it." I admitted. I unhook our arms and cross mine under my chest. I didn't want any comfort. "...Wow." Was all she said. "I knew we shouldn't have went. Especially with all your emotions fücked up. I knew you were going to get drunk." She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I should've stayed with you that night." She said. "It's not your fault Red." I said. I was surprised she attempted to blame her self. I made the decision. "I don't want to talk about it though. I'll see you at lunch." I rushed off.
I felt relieved, taking my seat at the front of the class. Just as I looked over I was reminded that Scorpio had switched into this period. Apparently he felt like we should at least have one class together, other than lunch. I stared at the empty seat that he'd usually be in place of. I wondered if he switched back. Was he that petty though? I knew he was probably planning on getting back at me in some way. If he acted like nothing happened, I'd be surprised. I was pretending to be prepared for anything he'd throw at me. But I wasn't at all.
Class began and I focused my attention on drawing lame doodles onto the desk. The door bursts open, but I didn't pay attention. It was probably Tito's late asś. His loud obnoxious laughing along with another familiar one, made me shoot my head straight up, only to quickly look right bank down. "Tito, Shawn take your seats. Not only are you late, but you're both disturbing my class." They quiet down, and Shawn takes his seat next to me. I dared to look up. Just as I did, he turns to face me. Our eyes locked in place. I was about to avert my attention back on doodling, but then he did something that made me do a double take. I'm sure it's something most people wouldn't expect someone to do to somebody that's just cheated on them.
He winked.
Bit his bottom lip.
Then looked away. It worried me. Is he playing with me?
