-Chapter 20-

I bit my lower lip, did I ask an offensive question? Was he going to hate me?

He chuckled and said "Because there was once I was working in some shop and there were short of workers. They said they paid me really high if I come in. It was during school hours and till late nights."he explained.

I nodded listening while he continued. "Sometimes I would go to school really tired like I was having a hangover. I would sometimes be covered in flour because I came from work so people thought I did drugs and partied till late nights hooking up with girls. I am poor so I cant buy a car. Leather is important when you ride a motorbike cause when you fall, it decreases the fiction."

"Why would you be covered in flour? That actually does give the wrong impression." I raised an eyebrow.

"I worked in a bakery. At night, I need to make bread and cakes which needs time to set overnight. In the morning, I need to make cookies. Which explains why I was always covered in flour. How I dress and riding a motorbike dont really help with clearing my image either." he laughed.

"Oh. Rumours spread really fast here. I hate it when they make stupid things up." It was frustrating how people cannot get their nose out of people's business.

"I gathered that." he gave another laugh. Hearing his laughter made my whole body tingly.

I knew so much about him in this short period of time. He was telling me things no one else knew. I did not know what to feel. I wondered why he chose to tell me. Did he really lo.. love me? I shook that thought. Maybe he was just playing with me. He just likes me. Right? Love is a strong word. Like is what he meant. I think.

My head was spinning from what everyone was telling me. Was I really hurt? I know I may look depressed and always thinking but was I really hurt? They could see it in me.

My heart had been hurt a few times and it hasnt recovered since the first time it was stabbed. Tears trickled down my cheeks as I flashed back that incident leaving me with a divorced parents.

It was nightfall and Jake just dropped me home after strolling in the park and treating me to dinner. I was back in my backyard. Still sitting on the tyre and swinging myself higher and higher. My Chamomile tea was sitting on a tray on the table. This was the only place I could really think.

What Jake and Zach said was right. I needed to tell someone my problems but who? Who would not judge me? Who is able to help me? Who can keep it a secret? The questions were circling around my head and my headache came back. The throbbing pain made me get into bed to get some rest.

I woke up the next day still with the awful pain in my head. I stumbled to move about even to get my painkillers.

I snuggled into my pillow and under my covers after taking them. The effect started to kick in and made me feel woozy. I was so tired, I had to miss school.

"Hey guys." I said and they all said hi.

I opener my locker which was next to Tony's. Tony was leaning against his locker talking to Zach and James. As I took out my books and put them in my bag, a note slipped out.
