When You Left Me Alone

When You left Me Alone

(UNEDITED)

~~Freya's P.O.V~~

RING RING RING!!!! My alarm screamed at me at 7:00 in the morning. I groaned as I rolled over on my right side, ignoring the clock. My eyes suddenly popped open when I remembered today was Tuesday and I was supposed to be at orchestra in 15 minutes. I scrambled out of bed, stumbled into the bathroom, hopped into the shower, and washed my hair with one hand while holding a toothbrush in the other. I slipped while running out of the shower, and blow-dried my hair while putting on some lip-gloss. I then walked over to the closet where I chose out a pair of shorts, and a simple crop-top. After looking in the mirror a few times, I grabbed my violin and raced out the door. As I parked in front my private high school at 7:10, I already saw half of the class already here. I locked the car, stuffed the keys next to the house keys in my purse, and ran into the classroom.

I sighed as I walked over to our usual round lunch table, which usually consisted of my best friend Julianna, my boyfriend Jackson, and Shawn. Julianna was thinking about majoring in architecture, me in creative writing, Jackson - as himself- wants to become a professional football player *rolls eyes*, and Shawn wants to become a musician. "Hey guys" I said cheerfully as I sat in usual seat between Julianna and Jackson. "Hey babe" Jackson said, while side hugging me. "Hey Freya" Julianna said, distracted on her phone. Suddenly Julianna let out a loud squeal, and the whole cafeteria quieted down, and looked where Julianna was sitting. I looked around, and sent an apologetic look around. "Shut the hell up" I hissed at Julianna. "OMG!! Did you know that Sabrina Carpenter is touring in our area?" she whisper-yelled at me. I rolled my eyes. "Julianna, I like Sabrina Carpenter too, but can you find another subject to talk about, other than her?" I asked, exasperated. She rolled her eyes back at me, and stuck her tongue out childishly. The rest of lunch, I stared at nowhere in particular, and after the bell rang, I asked Julianna if she wanted to come over to study. She agreed, and I walked with Shawn to our classroom. 

We had math 5th period, so we were in the same class. When I pretended to listen to the boring lesson about algebra, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I quickly raised my hand and asked Mrs. Chang if I could go to the restroom. She gave me a strange look, and she excused me. I walked to the girls' bathroom as I pulled my phone out. It was a text from Julianna, who had science 5th period. I thought it would be more rants about hot boys, or Sabrina Carpenter, but it was about Jackson. 

I frowned as I pushed open the door, I haven't finished the whole text yet, and I was about to, but I was surprised to a halt when I heard other sounds in the bathroom. Cautiously, I walked around the corner of the wall, and let out a strangled gasp. 

It was Jackson, and the school's most popular girl, Sarah Sterling. And apparently, they were in a pretty intense make-out session before I rudely *cough cough* interrupted them. Sarah smirked at me, and pulled Jackson closer. I couldn't watch Jackson cheat on me right in front of my eyes, so, I walked into the nearest stall, and locked the door. Sarah apparently hated my guts, and Jackson always was talking about how much he didn't like Sarah because I didn't. Apparently, he had lied to me. I could still hear the sounds of them kissing, but at least it was a little better than watching them. I leaned against the stall door, and tried to restrain the tears that threatened to fall.

 I was taking this way better than most girls. I decided to finish the whole text, and it caused a few tears to slip out of eyes. " ...please don't be sad. He isn't worth your tears" I couldn't let Sarah or Jackson see me crying, so I dried my tears, waited a few minutes to let the redness in my eyes fade. I walked out of the stall and to the sink where I washed my hands. I strode right next to the kissing couple, and dried my hands. Sarah must have been pretty upset because she hesitated to give Jackson the next kiss, but decided to kiss him anyway. I kept a calm pace as I walked into the hallway. I pulled open the door of the classroom, and everybody turned around to look at me. Mrs. Chang, as the typical annoying teacher asked: "Miss Claymont! Can you explain why you were in the restroom for nearly 15 minutes?" I sighed. I walked over to Mrs. Chang and said: "I just got my thing" I whispered. Mrs. Chang nodded and pointed to my seat-next to Shawn- with her chin. I slumped into my seat and Shawn whispered: "Workbook page 487" I nodded and mouthed 'thanks' and turned to the page. I concentrated on the algebra questions, and for a second, my mind was taken off of the ridiculous situation today. 

After the bell signaling the end 5th period rang, I threw my workbook into my backpack, and trudged into the hallway. Shawn walked with me, and he put comforting hand on my shoulder. I only just noticed how comfortable his hand was, and I didn't protest. I passed by Julianna and she sent me a sympathetic look. We didn't have any time to talk, because of our 2 minute pass, so I smiled weakly at her. She walked backwards, using her head to gesture toward Shawn's hand that was on my shoulder. She giggled and mouthed 'OTP'. I gave her a look and mouthed back 'SHUT UP' She giggled again and turned around. I rolled my eyes and pulled open the door to the classroom, and decided that I move on. Filled with a new determination, I walked into my last period of the day.
