Halo guys, I know, I know it's unusual for me to speak to you at the start of the chapter this is just me sayin' that from now on my chapters will be quite a bit bigger unless there's some reason it needs to be smaller and that the format will be a little different😁 Enjoy!


Bailey

Emily... What happened?


Emily
---------------------------------------------------------
My heart pounded, faster than a cheetah running in for its kill. I felt so bad. As I kept walking leaving Bailey there unable to comprehend what had just happened but no matter what, I could never trust another a guy. No matter who they were even if they were Bailey.

It tore me apart and I didn't know why.

It seemed like it had taken me hours to get to my class but in reality that 'hours' was only a few minutes. I think it was the guilt that was weighing me down but I shouldn't feel guilt ridden if I didn't want to talk to him, I didn't want to talk. Although my head was telling me no my heart was telling me yes.

I had no idea which to obey, I ended up choosing my head as I wasn't about to let those soppy cliché movie quotes 'do what your heart says' sort of thing take control.

I sat down in my seat instinctively sighing as math really isn't my subject.

My day wasn't having the best of starts.

Before I can fall any deeper into my guilt, one of my other friends, Jules comes over to me.

"Hey" she smiles.

I don't say anything in response, Jules clearly noticed my guilt filled eyes as she sits down and sighs and looks me straight in the eyes, "what's wrong?"

"I'm anoyed that our teacher is late again." I say averting my eyes from hers.

To be honest I almost laughed aloud at how stupid of an answer that was, anyone even a 2-year-old could tell I was lying. But the energy to come up with a better excuse simply wasn't there.

"That was pathetic!" Jules raised her voice. The students in the room looked over to witness the 'drama'.

I sighed for the second time avoiding any eye contact with her, "I know."
"No you don't, where did the sarcastic, cheery and stubborn Emily go becuase I don't see her I see a girl dark faced and engulfed in her own pity and guilt."

It almost shocked me but somehow even though Jules never talked like this what she said was true.

"Emily!"
"I- I -I ca-" was all my mouth could muster.

Before either of us have the chance to say anything else the teacher (finally) walks into the room turning the over excited room into silence in a split second.

"Turn to page 54 of your textbooks" the teacher anounces in the most monotone voice I've heard in my life (literally). Boredom sinks in but nowhere near enough to weigh out the guilt.

I spent the next 80min's in a class with a disinterested teacher, anoyed friend and a textbook. I had to admit, it wasn't the best combo.
