TWO WEEKS LATER
"Girls suck. Like honestly I really just want her to like me but I don't even exist when it comes to her. We see each other and she acknowledges me but that's it. I've liked her for so long and I'm tired of this not going anywhere." It's Jaxon that I hear say these words as I was about to walk out into the hallway.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes before turning around and sliding down the door.

Oh boy. Here we go.
