My life would suck without you

Worthless

Maggie made her way to the guidance office. She needed to get there as early as she could so she wouldn't have to wait in a line.

There were still a bunch of people going in to change their schedules. Some because of scheduling mistakes and others because of personal reasons. Her being among the ones with personal reasons, but she was sure hers were very different from others.

"Next person in line come forward!" The secretary shouted. "Counseling or schedule change?" The secretary asked with a very bored and tired sounding voice.

"Schedule change." Maggie spoke quietly. It was to early for her too. She was glad it was Friday.

"Like the last fifty kids. Are none of you having a hard time with school or life like a normal kid, to need counseling? Second door on your left." The secretary pointed down the hall to her right.

Maggie glared at her for moment, annoyed with her reasons, then she put on a false smile when she realized the secretary was looking at her. "Thank you mam." She turned and made her way down the hall and into the guidance office.

"Hello." The guidance counselor spoke cheerfully as Maggie walked in. A little to cheerfully, it was strange.

"Hi." Maggie took her seat. "Im Maggie, Im here for a schedule change.

"Okay and why are you switching?"
The counselor looked at her before she started typing on her computer.

Maggie froze. She didn't realize she'd have to explain. "Well... You see. Someones in there that Im not comfortable with."

The counselor stopped typing and looked directly at Maggie before she took her hands off her keyboard and interlocked them. "Maggie, was it? Has someone been giving you a hard time?"

Maggie stared at the woman. Quickly feeling nervous. Her mouth half opened and closed as she tried to find the words. She smiled nervously. "Quite the opposite actually. A- you see... I-I just cant be around this person right now. I kinda hurt them and I cant face that." Maggie waited for an answer, but all she got was silence.

"Mmhm?" The guidance counselor moved back to her computer and started typing again. She stopped and then looked at Maggie. "Mrs Sawyer? Correct?"

"Yes?"

"Ok. Your grades look pretty decent, your behavior is decent and your attendants is great. What troubles are you having? And whom with? If you don't mind me asking?"

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"I need a reason to switch you. Miss Sawyer."

"I said some bad stuff to a close friend then I did her wrong. I can't deal with it, so I'm resorting to changing my schedule to get away from her. Is that what you wanted to hear?" Maggie spoke fast.

"Mrs Sawyer would you and your friend like counseling. This person sounds close to you and I cant help but notice that this isn't the actions you should be taking."

Maggie stared at her for a moment. She wanted to say yes, but she knew Alex didn't want to see her. "No! Please. This is the best solution, she's not gonna want to see me anyways." Maggie gave her a small and fake smile, it quickly fell from her face. Then she looked down in shame.

Alex hadn't made it to school yet. She was running a little late, but she didn't care. She made her way toward a little diner and quickly entered the front doors. She had been here before, so she knew where everything was and she made a B line straight to the bathroom.

Running was something that definitely calmed her down, but she started getting worked up by the end of it. It also didn't help she thought she saw Maggie walking down the street with some strange man; whom she kissed, and child at the women's side. So she quickly ducked into the restaurant, before she started seeing her face everywhere.
