When we finally arrived at school, we split up and I head to my first hour, Senior English. But on my way there, some nut job decides to run into me, making all my textbooks fall onto the floor. Just great.
"Watch where you're going Dork," the kid who bumped into me said.
"Uh-uhm, sorry..."
"What were you thinking Lavender?! HE BUMPED INTO YOU! Why should you be apologizing? This is utter nonsense!" My conscience says.
"Whatever Lilac," He said.
"Uh actually, it's Lavender..." I trail off when I notice he's already gone.
Welp, just great, why not start the day with a confrontation of sorts. Looking at my Fossil watch from Aunt Elle, my eyes widen as I realize that if I don't get my tush moving, I'll be late for class. And with that final thought, I speed walk through the halls--hey, just 'cause I'm going to be late doesn't mean I'll break the rules and potentially put someone's safety at risk.

[In class]
"Okay class, so once you find the value of 'x' plug that value into the equation to solve it. Then my solving the equation, you'll understand what the pattern is in the sequence given on the board.." My trig teacher says.
Ugh, why did I have to choose the accelerated class again? Oh, yeah, because if I didn't, then Mother and Father would definitely be disappointed in me.
And then, suddenly someone throws a piece of paper at me, and eww, it's wet.
"Come on people, you're a bit too old to be spittin' spit balls," I mutter.
"Nah, Sterling Baby, I think I'm the still in the perfect age bracket for spit balls,"--wait, I know that voice, and only one person calls me "Sterling Baby", it's Sebastian!
"Sebastian! You're back! How come I didn't see you when class started?"
"That's because I came in behind a big group of students while you were preparing your stuff for the lesson," He replied.
"Oh, le--
"Ms. Sterling, do you have anything you'd like to share with the class?" Mr. Vari, my Algebra teacher asks.
"Uh-uh... no sir, I-I'm sorry sir.." I stutter, my cheeks burning.
"Mhmm, sure, that's what I thought." Mr. Vari says.
After that embarrassing moment, I didn't dare utter another word, not even when Mr. Vari asked me if I knew the answer to the problem--I did, by the way.

[After class]
Right after class ends, I stay behind, avoiding the exodus of students trying to get to their next class in a timely fashion, just so I can talk to Sebastian.
"What were you thinking?! Huh?! Your stupid arse got me in trouble! Do you know what would've happen to me if Mr. Vari was in a bad mood and decided to send me to the principal's office? Huh?!" I scream at Sebastian.
"Chill Sterling, chill! Oh my gosh, I swear, sometimes you're just too extra!"
"Extra?! EXTRA?!! Grades and reputation are everything! If the press learn that I've misbehaved in class, my name will be everywhere! And I cannot afford that happening! I could cause the stocks to go down due to people thinking that my parents are irresponsible!"
"Shh, sssshhhh, Ender, let's go now, or do you want to be late to your next cla--"
"What do you think you're doing to my poor Lavendy?!" I hear someone say, smacking Sebastian upside the head.
When I turn around, I'm greeted with my longtime bestie, America. "Mer! When'd you get back?!"
"Oh, you know, a day ago. Mom didn't even want me to go to school today because of Derek being sick and no one to watch him, but I couldn't do that knowing that I haven't properly talked to you since you were admitted to the hospital," America replied, lowering her voice at the end. "But seriously girl, are you okay?"
"Uhm, yeah. I am." Lie. "Well, I gotta go, we're going to be late for our next class," I say and rush out.
[Time skip to lunch]
Oh god. It's this time of the day. Time to attempt to look normal and not act like the awkward human being I am. And so I decide to just do what I normally do and plug my headphones into my phone, and start listening to my favorite 5SOS songs.
Five minutes into my playlist I start quietly singing to one of the songs.
Oh say can you see
This is not who I'm supposed to be
Without you I'm nobody killing time
I tried to deceive
Tried to win you desperately
Now I'm lost in this swirling sea of your eyes
All my life I've been waiting for moments to come
When I catch fire and watch over you like the sun
I will fight to fix up and get things right
I can't change the world but maybe I'll change your mind--
"You have a really great voice Babe," A voice interrupts me.
Holy chicken nuggets. Someone actually heard me singing. Usually, my murmuring is covered up by the sounds of the cafeteria, but I guess today, I'm not so lucky.
"Princess? Hellooo? Anyone in there?" The voice continues again.
By now, I look up with an extremely inflamed face caused by embarrassment and find Xavier staring back at me. Oh god, why him?! Out of everyone here, why him?!
"Uh-uh.."
"Shush, shhh. It's alright princess, I know, if I were you I'd also be star-struck by my looks," He interrupts.
But before I get the chance to reply to his cocky arse, I'm interrupted once again by the one and only, Sebastian.
"Hey Sterling Baby, I'm so glad you saved me a spot." He says, putting his arm around me, but then suddenly turns around. "Oh, and who might you be, you handsome hunka hunka?"
And with that question, Xavier raises his eyebrow, and I smack Sebastian in the head.
"Geez woman! Why is everyone abusing me today! All I asked was who this guy was and I'm nogginly assaulted, AGAIN!"
"Well it's not my problem that you're a smack magnet," I retort.

Him.
RomansaI did nothing. I couldn't do anything but just sit here stone-faced. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel right now. My best friend betrayed me too many times, my mother has anger issues, and I have a distant father, so why should I hold on to my s...
