Julia's POV

"So you aren't bearing Julia anymore?" Chloe said. Finally, my friends catch up with me. They've been running after me, shouting my name so I could stop. I decided to play deaf.

Early in the morning I was attacked by this naughty redhead of a friend and suddenly the number of my friends completed on that same spot. I know they are worried about me, I should have called to inform them I'm okay. But what is the essence of doing that when I'm certain they will ask all over again today. I kept all talking for a time like this one.

I keep walking, not stopping to give them a chance to talk or ask me questions. Becky almost grab my hand but I was quick enough to slip away and move faster until I reach where I was going initially. My class. Today is the last school day of the week and I want to get over with it.

If you think my friends are off to their class by now, then you guessed wrong. They are still following me. I made my way to my seat and in a blink, they are right in front of me.

"You pretty little face." Chloe said with a gritted teeth "Julia, I had to skip breakfast this morning so you won't escape from me. Thanks to Julius, I didn't skip dinner" She groaned.

I want to laugh so badly but I will only provoke her. A hungry Chloe is an angry Chloe, she doesn't play with her food. Julee must have inform them that I'm back home yesterday. At least she didn't skip dinner because of me

"Mind telling us where you ran off to and don't you dare tell me you skipped class" Becky asked

I shook my head in response. Shawn drag one of the chairs and sat on it. He doesn't like to interrupt the girls especially when they are angry, he loves to stay back and watch until everyone cool down.

"What came over you then? I should have allowed Julius to run after you but girl I thought it was those casual mood swings you always have. It's been long since you did something like this" Becky said And I look down at my palm

"We were occupied yesterday after school to complete some group project. In fact we were at Becky's house with some other group members when the call came in. We couldn't abandon them and Jonathan told us to continue whatever we were doing that we shouldn't worry and that he will keep us updated. We were worried about you and we can't dare disobey Jonathan at the same time. We are sorry we forgot to check on you before heading out of school. Sorry." Chloe said after calming down

Even if they search for me,the garden will be there last thought. It's not their fault, it's mine and I won't let them take the blame. I wasn't thinking properly yesterday and I totally understand them. I know my friends, they always stick by my side and we've been through thick and thin together. They never abandon me. Anytime anyone of us is in an uncontrollable condition, we rally round as friends to help each of her. My own case only seem to be extra exceptional and it makes everyone worried.

"For the past three days, you've been acting strange. What's going on in that head of yours?" Shawn finally asked me bringing me back to earth

"Look guys, I'm sorry for those past three days I've been acting strange. I know you all are worried and I understand you all are angry at me. I also know I've been nothing but trouble for you to handle. It's just those times when I get pissed off at my self. I'm sorry, do forgive me and please don't hate or leave me now" I said all in guilt.

I easily blame myself for most things. It's a part of me.

"You know I hate it when you think like that. You are not trouble to us and you don't have to take every single blame." Shawn is now standing. "Julia, you are our friend and we'll never think of leaving you. Hope you get that" He said and ruffles my hair
