The bell rings for study period. I smile because I have a free period with Gabbie, I finished all my assignments early.

I walk in and see Gabbie on her laptop.

"Hey," I say sitting next to her."

"Hi," she says quietly. I know instantly something's up.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Andrew broke up with me." She says.

"What weren't you guys just making ou-"

"WE WERE UNTIL I 'PULLED AWAY TO EARLY AND APPARENTLY IM CHEATING ON HIM WITH DAVID," she says.

I freeze as everyone stares at us. I feel everyone staring at me though, not Gabbie. Their stares begin to burn into me I feel everyone laughing at me. My breathing slows. Oh no I'm having another freaking social anxiety attack. My vision goes black.

I open my eyes and I'm in an uncomfortable bed and it smells like medicine. I get up slowly and see I'm in sickbay.

I get up and see my bag next to me, I grab it and head out the door. A teacher sees me, "feeling better darling? You had a nasty fall out of your chair." She says.

Just thinking about all the people watching me fall makes me freeze again. I nod and notice David sitting at a chair near the principal offices.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Yeah, why are u here?"

He smirks, "I'll have you know I got into a fight sticking up for you."

So many questions and feelings went through me.

"Why me? And why on your first day!"

"Some girl was talking trash about you so I told her to stop and she started getting Bitchy." He says shrugging.

My heart pounds with the thought of girls talking about me but it's not as hard as usual.

"Thanks." I say.

"You should be," he says crossing his arms.
