chapter 37 >The quiet<

Growing distant free of explanation, we're getting deeper in this mess

"Morning" my mother said
"Morning mum" I said as I slid down the banister and ran out the door to catch the bus, I made it just in time to meet, Steve, my boyfriend of 2 years at the bus stop.
"Morning Steve" I said as I kissed his cheek all I got was a low
"Hmhm" his normal response.
The bus rounded the corner and stopped at the bus stop as Steve went to sit with his buddies and I was stuck sitting alone for a while, until Dan and Phil got on the bus.
I slipped in my earbuds and shut my eyes, what seemed to be only 5 minutes was a half an hour, someone flicked me in the head and I grumpily groaned at whoever had flicked me.
"Morning sleepy head" A familiar voice said
Oh shit. I thought looking up it was Mitchell Millard. My before Steve crush. I don't doubt that in my mind there is still a special place for Mitch.
"What was that for" I said yawning
"We're at the school, I had to put some of my papers back in my bag and I waited for everyone else to get off the bus and here you were" he said
I looked shocked and looked around
"Damn not even my own boyfriend stopped to wake me up" I said as I slung my book bag back on my shoulder.
"Thank you Mitch" I said bowing my head politely at him
"No problem" he smiled brightly

Take careful contemplation, I'd rather be spitting blood, than have this silence fuck me up.

When I got off the bus I noticed Steve further up ahead, holding one of his buddies in a headlock.
I was about to text Daniel and Phil and knock them up side the head when they both jumped out from the crowd and scared me, I began to walk with them
"Where the hell were you?" I asked them
"Whoa back off feisty pants, that was our whole plan, first we knocked Steve into Mitch who dropped his books and people kept walking over him-" dan started
"It was SO HARD not to help him" Phil said crossing his arms and looking away from Dan
"I practically had to drag him off the bus" dan said
"Did not" "did too" did not" did too"
"Meredith" a voice interrupted Dan and Phil's constant bickering
"Yeah?" I said looking back towards Mitch
"I hate to see you like this" he said and I stopped
"What do you mean?" I asked as I noticed Dan and Phil began to settle down
"Faller deeper in this mess" he said humming and starting to sing
"Than have this silence fuck me up" he whisper sang into my ear and walked away
"Did he just fucking quote troye?" Dan  said
I had stopped listening because It left a shutter running down my spine. I waved Dan and Phil off to their first class and began to mine.
I bolted off to meet Maria for our first class, since Steve hadn't bothered to even say anything to me. Normally I get something sweet, he's ignored me the ENTIRE day. And Dan and Phil had first hour class together, walking class.
I skipped in the room excited to talk to Maria about Mitch but stopped at the sight. Maria was surrounded by several of the drama kids, I knew because I recognised a few of the kids. I hesitated and decided to leave her be and not leech off of her, I scouted the room and my eyes landed on Mitch, and he was surrounded by a few of the musicians and hippies.
"Oie Meredith!" He said waving over to me

This separation, time and space between us.

I slowly approached the group
"Aye Meredith, you in Ms. Audra's orchestra class" a boy said
"Sit in front by sister Maria" he said
"She's not my sister" I said
"No he's comparing her to a Nun" A girl said strumming her ukele
"Oh, whys that?" I asked looking back at her
"She's no fun, she's a dud, a tack" The boy said again
"Yeah... I tried to get her to do a few things but she neglected" I said setting down my backpack slowly realizing what he meant and chuckled.
"Nice one" I said
"Nick" the boy said taking off his beanie revealing a fluff of blonde hair; it's looked like in paintings the kinds of yellow used in suns, With ice blue eyes.
"Luna" the other girl said she had blue eyes and Black hair like the opposite of Nicks, which she had strung back into a braid and was wearing a black skirt with a off the shoulder white striped shirt and navy strap over flats, she looked very aesthetic.
"And this is Quinn" Mitch said
"My sister" he said stepping aside
"Quinn your in my Orchestra class as well" I said
"Yeah" she said pushing a strand of her black hair behind her ear, she wore a white button up dress shirt, a black skirt with musical notes dotted around the skirt rim, and she wore a black blazer.
"She's a bit of a musical prodigy, and likes to deny it" Mitch said leaning back onto the desk.
"Shut up" Quinn said
Mitch giggled, and he smiled to me.
"We'd better sit down for class so we can sit together" Nick said as we all sat down and I looked to see Maria still giggling, and I scowled.
