Next Chapter

Sixth Chapter

"Life has many chapters for us, Our bad chapter doesn't mean it's the end of the book."

"Look at them!"

"I smell something FISHY"

"They're together again!"

Gossips. Gossips Everywhere.

People are staring, pointing and talking about us. And then I remembered that his holding my hand.

I pulled my hand off his and walked away from him, from anyone else. I ran and ran while my tears are falling until I reach the strangest place here in school.

"Hey, Wait!" Reid was calling for my name but I didn't bother to stop and face him. "Zoe, Wait!"

She grabbed my arm and he pulled me closer to him, hugging me tightly. Our bodies were touching each other and we stayed in that position for a while. 

Why is he doing this to me?

Does he still have feelings?

It can't be!

IT CANNOT BE!

My tears continue to fall. Then suddenly, I heard footsteps. I pushed him away and I wiped my tears. I turned my back and walked away.

And then the bell rings.

**********************

"What the hell!?!?!?" Laura's voice echoed in the whole gymnasium.

It's lunch time. This is where we take our lunch. We're alone here; no one can hear what we are talking about.

"He did that??!?!?!" She asked. I told her what earlier and yeah. That's her reaction.

"Uh-huh" I answered

"But Why?"

"I don't know." I simply I answered. It's like that It's not a big deal for me right now.

"He didn't say anything?"

"He didn't. I didn't give him a chance. I walk away."

"What the heck, Zoe! Why did you walked away?"

"The bell is about to ring. I will be late at school if I still talked to him." then I took a bite from my doughnut.

"Yeah, yeah." she said sarcastically. "Get on your feet, we'll talk to him." she didn't gave me a chance to sink what she said. She just grabbed my arm and pulled me running.

"Hey! Where are we going?"

"Reid."

***************************

"Still hurts?" the nurse asked.

"Uhmm.. yeah! a little bit." I told her while I'm rubbing mg head.

"Alright, Just call me when you need something. Okay?" she left me inside my room and I just stared at the ceiling remembering what happened last week.

(Flashback)

Laura's pulling me and I can't manage to stop her so I just go with the flow. While we are running, someone pulled my hair.

What the F*ck!

I fell down and saw Cassedy and her peers surrounding me. 

"You F*cking B*tch!" Cassedy hissed and she slapped me so hard that I thought my brain turned upside-down. 

"What's your problem?!" I asked, rubbing my cheeks.

"What's my Problem?! YOU!" She grabbed her phone and showed me a picture of me and Reid hugging. It's the time when we are in the strangest place in school. How did they have a picture of that?

I looked at her and she gave me another slap. 

"Hey! What was that for?" 

"For stealing him from me!"

"I didn't steal anything! I'm not stealing Reid from you! if you want him, he's already yours!" I raised my voice.

"Girls." she signaled her friends and they just started kicking and slapping me. 

I can't move anymore. 

My vision got blurred and everything just went black.

(End of Flashback)

What's wrong with Cassedy? And for what I know, she's not Reid's girlfriend. Reid has no girlfriend. So what's with her? 

Knock Knock~

"Come In!" 

I thought it was the nurse but it's Laura and her right arm is casted.

"Oh My God! What happened?" 

She sat beside my bed and she told me what happened. So that's from the friends of Cassedy.

"How about you? Are you okay?"

"A little bit. My head still hurts and my back is aching."

We are here in the hospital for almost a week and I am still not updated of what's happening because since that day, I just woke up yesterday. And I haven't talk to Reid. She's always with mom when they are visiting me. I can't talk to him when mom's around. Mom didn't know anything.

"So what happen to Cassedy?" I asked Laura.

"She's Expelled."

"She deserves it." Mwahahahaha  

*evil laugh*

************************

"How are you?" he asked.

"Stay away from me, Reid!" I turn to the other side of the bed.

"I'm sorry, Zoe! If only I knew it earlier, it will not happen."

"Stay away!"

"Zoe, please! I'm very sorry!" he walked to the side I was facing and he knelt holding my hand.

"Stop Holding me, will you?"

"I'm sorry!" he let go of my hand.

"Cassedy. What's wrong with her?"

"Cassedy?" he looked so bewildered. "She did this?"

"You don't even know?!?!?" I took a deep breath. "What's with her?"

"Cassedy is my friend...." he stopped talking. "She confessed to when we are still First year."

"You should have told me that!"

"We're just friends that time. You still don't know how deeply I'm in love with you."

I remain Silent. Speechless.

"Since first year, I already loved you. Zoe, I have loved you! I still love you! and I will forever love you!" he bowed down and his tears began touching the floor.

"Zoe, I Love You!"

I Love You Reid. I Love You Too.
