··Chapter 17··

Stressing about school was enough stress I needed. But now with the news of Siena and Jackson wiggled along the lines, it adds even more stress I don't need to stress about but I stress about it anyways. I worry way too much but it's saved me in dangerous situations. The first day of school and I haven't slept at all. Camden's rolling into the halls with me and Siena is dating my brother. I can handle all that right? I mean, it's not a huge deal. It is what it is.

"Hurry up, babe. Its 7. School starts in 45 minutes." Camden calls from the entrance of my room. I let out a groan and throw a pillow at him. He catches it almost instantly and let's out a laugh.

"Its the first day. I'm not looking pretty for anyone. They've seen me all through last year. Woopty doo." I say grumpily that he had the nerve to come in here and officially awake the beast.

"Maizy, you could wear sweatpants and still look hot. Now get up and get ready." he responds, and I can already feel the pink creeping into my dead expression.

"You need help?" he asks, offering me his hand. Cocking a brow, I glarevat him.

"Why would I need your he-" I start to ask, sitting up. Pain rises to my back and that's when I collect my thoughts.

Ahh yes Maizy you have huge ads injuries on your back, remember?

Taking his hand, he helps me off the bed and to my feet. Last bight he helped bandage my wounds. Where my mother is during all of this I'll never know. All she said is she'd be back soon. Soon luckily wasn't soon enough.

"C'mon," he says, tugging my hand to the bathroom. He takes out some patches of gauze and tape along with hydrogen peroxide.

"Oh hell no," I argue, backing up.

"Maze, it's going to get infected if you don't." he responds and I roll my eyes.

"Fine. Hury up." I say, turning around.  He peels the old ones off before the stinging sensation begins across by back.

"Fuck," I breathe, balling my fists. The pain continues for a while before he patches me up again.

"You know, your closet is at your house." I start, turning around. Letting out a chuckle, he puts the supplies away.

"Right. I'm picking you up in 25. Be ready." and with that he jogs out of the room and downstairs.

"Hey, Maze." I hear someone call from the doorway. I look up to see Siena crossing the threshold.

"Yes you can rummage my closet. Pick something out for me too." I request, already knowing what she's going to ask. I swear we should've been sisters but oh well. Oh wait she could end up being my sister in law! Great..

Doing all that fancy shmancy stuff you do to look less dead, I jog back into my room to see she actually did Pick out my outfit. She laid out a maroon blouse along with some simple denim shorts. All I did was tuck the blouse in to look somewhat dressy, and slipped on some black flip flops. 

"Took ya long enough." Camden grumbles, as we walk out of the house.

"Hey, don't complain, she looks hot," Siena argues, making me laugh.

"Yeah whatever." I chime in, walking down the street with them. School wasn't far from my house at all. Running on no sleep, today is going to be hell.

"How's it feel to be the kings of the school?" Allison asks, slamming her locker shut. We had first period together.

"Not very different. I feel like I'm 70." I grumble, dragging my feet to the class room. She let's out a laugh and I return it with a weak smile.

"I heard ms.bowman is cool. She's young too." Allison changes the subject as we enter the room. There was only one other person in the room but I was well aware of who it was. And that person was sitting in my seat.
