— THERE
was a certain aura about today that seemed very odd. the school was quiet, and almost dead. as i walked through the halls of westlake high, everyone looked at me as if i just committed a murder. little did i know is that i practically did. i was charged with ruining the relationship of christian yelich and quinn cooper. apparently the couple called it quits yesterday after school, and poor quinn was heartbroken. she had it coming, i knew christian was dying to break up with her. but why was this all coming down on me? oh that's right, because christian told quinn that he likes me! and then she tweeted this:

quinncooper: girls always try to steal what's yours! it's so sad that people can't be happy for others. it really breaks my heart 💔.

now, i'm not normally one to overreact about a social media post, but it's the fact that everyone in school followed quinn that bothered me. i'm not some home wrecker that wanted to ruin their relationship! i can't help it christian likes me. i couldn't help but throw a sub too:

norabriar: someone told me stay away from things that aren't yours, but was he yours if he wanted me so bad? 💖

homeroom was gonna be interesting today, but i was ready. i walked in to room 206 and saw christian in apollo's seat, apollo where christian would normally sit, ryland in the back talking to christian, and quinn flirting with apollo.
i. was. shook.
as i walked to the back of the room quinn turned her attention to me.
"hey whore bag! way to steal my man, you did a real good job." she said. christian got between us and tried to break us up.
"how am i whore? i've never even had a boyfriend and you have the nerve to call me a whore when you slept the half the grade?" i said. christian and ryland laughed, but apollo didn't seem pleased.
"you've always liked christian and you know it! don't play the 'i can't stand him game'!" she said making quotes with her hands. i was about to reply but apollo said something instead.
"babe, stop it's not worth arguing with her." he said as he walked away with quinn.
"i'm sorry what?" i asked him. did he just call her 'babe?'
"is there a problem? are you going to try and take him from me too you skank?!" she yelled. i tried to go after her but christian pulled me back.
"chill out nora." he said.
"w-wait they're dating?" i said.
"yeah they started dating yesterday after i broke up with quinn. i'm sorry, i know you were close with him." he said as he pulled me into a hug. i was close with apollo, or at least i thought i was. i can't believe him. why would he settle for her! he's so much better than that.
"where do you want to go for our date?" i asked him, trying to change the subject.
"you want to go?!" he seemed happy.
"i said yes didn't i?" i asked him, with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
"well yea, but i thought you hated me." he said.
"i'm not gonna lie to you, i did. for awhile. but maybe you're not half the douche bag i thought you were." i said with a chuckle.
"shit. thanks i guess." he laughed.
"so, where do you want to go?" i asked him as i sat down in my seat.
"i was thinking we could maybe go to malibu? we can go to the beach and get some good sushi." he said.
"christian, malibu is 25 minutes away. it's quite far don't you think?" i said to him. malibu was gorgeous and it had the best beaches, but i was almost 30 minutes away.
"you're very well spoken." he said looking into my eyes.
"that's kinda off topic, no?" i laughed.
"it's attractive." he said.
"ok well back to malibu.. yeah let's go. how does saturday work for you?" i asked, trying to avoid his flirting.
"saturday is fine. i'll pick you up around 11." he said as the bell rang.
"yeah that's fine." i said.
"what's your next class? i'll walk you there." he said as he grabbed my bag for me.
"you don't have too chris, it's fine really." i said as i grabbed my bag from him.
"i want too. plus i need your help with something." he said. we made our way into the crowded halls and got stares from our fellow school mates.
"so, i'm kinda failing math." he said.
"how are you failing math? it's like the 3rd day." i said with a giggle.
"listen i'm not the greatest student alright? and i need your help." he said. i suddenly realized that maybe christian didn't actually like me. maybe he was using me so i would do his homework, so his reputation wouldn't go down the drain.
"so that's what this is all about? you get me all interested and i actually start to become fond of you, just so you can use me? just so you can get good grades so a baseball team can draft you? i was wrong christian, you really are an asshole." i said as i stormed away.
"nora, that's not why i want to be friends with you! you're a gorgeous human inside and out! i just want to get close with you is that too much to ask?!" he yelled. by now everyone in the hallway was staring, and i just stormed away. i knew it. i should've just stuck with my gut, and never talked to him unless i had too.
