Bella hobbled over to me in Calculus, setting her crutches to the side and hoisting herself onto the seat," Are you alright?"

I had been hiding behind a pile of textbooks, hoping that she wouldn't spot me- ," What do you mean?" I brushed my hair behind my ear nervously," You're the one on crutches."

"It's just a sprained ankle, nothing I can't handle," she shrugged my comment off, searching for her notebook," you kind of took off yesterday without an explanation or even a 'whoops, I just ruined your cheerleading career'," Bella responded sarcastically.

I buried my head in my hands to cover up my heated face,"I just freaked out- I'm sorry."

Bella didn't respond.

"I just have a lot on my plate right now, and I'm having a really hard time being the new girl here," I spoke a bit louder this time, hoping that she hadn't heard me before and wasn't ignoring my apology," I'm sorry."

Bella let out a sigh of resignation,"It's okay," she pressed her lips into a thin , white line," I won't be able to participate for a month- I'll have to sit out of practices and meets."

I tried to focus on my equations as my stomach churned with guilt," Is there anything I can do to help you?" I asked meekly.

"I can handle myself," she turned over her worksheet, whizzing through the math problems As she spoke," I'm not the one you should be worrying about."

"You're not?" What could I be forgetting?

"You ditched cheerleading practice, injured one of the star cheerleaders, and have been getting kind of cozy with Pierce," She finished the last math problem," Emma is absolutely furious."

Crap.
