Chapter 20

It had been a few weeks since the incident at Chloe's party. Sam had tried to contact me multiple times — well probably hundreds of times. I just hadn't answered.

I continued to go to school, no matter how humiliating it was. I just tried my best to ignore it all. Sam would approach me at school, but again, i ignored his efforts.

I feel so humiliated and hurt and i could never forgive him. He made a promise to me and broke it. I put so much trust in him to have it broken. God i feel stupid. I thought taking a risk was what i was missing in life when really, that was what was saving me.

I sat myself down in math class, with my head almost in the desk. I mean i literally couldn't be trying to hide myself away anymore, I'd rather be anywhere else than here right now. I needed to get on with my life and forget about Sam completely.

"Saphy" "Saph" "SAPPHIRE!" I heard my name called from a few seats away. Give up. Give up. Give up.

I couldn't stand it any longer. Everything was making me tick over and i just wanted it to stop. I grabbed my books, stood up and stormed out of the class.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled as Sam followed me out of the class, hot on my heels.

"Saph! Stop! Let me explain! She kissed me. She had some stupid devious plan to make it look like we kissed to hurt you!" He pleaded. But it wasn't good enough. I felt destroyed.

"Oh what? That you've gone along with for the second time? I'm not interested. Stay away from me, for good Sam, I mean it." I pointed it in face while hysterically crying and screaming. Fuck i must've looked an absolute mess.

With those final words, I left school with no remorse. I shouldn't have come back. I should have listened to mom.

By lunchtime, I had a stream of text messages from Maisie asking my whereabouts then i'm guessing she heard about mine and Sam's big scene in the hallway as I received a stream of "he won't hurt you again" and "i'll be damned if i let you go back into that mental state". Damn i had the most caring best friend i could ever ask for.

For the next few days, i remained hauled up in bed feeling down and wanting no social interaction with anyone. My mom had returned home and didn't take the news of my social disaster too well, ordering i stay home schooled after the chaos. I know she only wants to protect me but if i stay hiding away from life forever, i'll always live in fear people won't accept me for who i am.

While lounging in bed with Riverdale playing i looked down as my phone lit up from beside me.

Maisie told me what happened. Wouldn't happen to fancy taking up the race offer right about now would you? :)

Ah, Kyle. Someone i wouldn't hate being around or wouldn't give me a hard time right now.

Matter of a fact, I would. See you in 30?

I stuffed my phone into my hoodie pocket and wandered into the bathroom to make myself the slightest bit presentable. I took a quick shower and picked out an oversized red t-shirt, some black skinny jeans and my white nike air force. I quickly applied a bit of makeup and checked my phone.

I'll pick you up then :)

I waited downstairs, putting Riverdale back on until Kyle arrived. Oh, KJ Apa is so dreamy. I am well and truly in love as i stared at the screen of my computer day dreaming. I heard a knock at the door, so i quickly shut my computer down and walked over to open it to reveal Kyle.
