On My Mind..

17

I grip Leah's hand tight as we head towards the school. Gossiping was heard by all the students outside as Leah and I approached. It went quiet when we walked through the gate. I knew this would happen. The towns not big so of coarse the news of my coma would go around the school.
People then started cheering. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. Were they really happy that I was okay? Well Leah and I walked towards the front doors. People were patting me on the back and saying it was great I was back.
Once inside the bell rang and Leah and I separated to go to our classes.
I smiled as I sat down in my class. People all around started asking me how I was.
--
I sat down at the lunch table next to Leah's and Jakes friends. My new friends. Leah and Jake soon showed up. We all chatted. Jessica, one of Leah's friends, ran up to the table.
"Ashton! Leah told me you sing right?," I slowly nod.
Her smile grows brighter as she held up a piece of paper. I read it.
"A talent show?," I looked up at her.
She nods, the smile not leaving her face.
"Ashton you should do it!," Leah exclaims.
I bite my lip, "I don't know.."
"C'mon Ash! You will do great!," Jake says.
Everyone at the table agrees. I think for a moment. I slowly nod.
"Okay."
Leah smiles and  hugs me.
Everyone goes back to talking as I think to myself,

'What if I fail?'

--
It was after school and Leah kissed my cheek saying she would be right back. I patiently waited and went on my phone.
"Hello Ashton," I hear a voice purr.
I look up.
"Hi?."
She laughs a fake laugh. Her face was caked with makeup. She batted her fake eyelashes as she moved closer. I moved away as she touched my chest. She pouts.
She was one of the 'popular kids'.
"I.. I have a girlfriend," I say.
She chuckles, "I know."
I frown when she got close again.
She looked to the right side of her and then quickly turned back to me. She grabbed my collar of my shirt and pulled me down to her lips. She kisses me and I immediately push her back.
"What are you doing?!," I almost yell.
She looks over where she previously looked before after smirking. I follow her line of sight to see Leah running down the hall and out the door. I look after her in horror.
"Leah! Wait!," I shoot the girl in front of me a glare before chasing after Leah.
I push open the door and see Leah speed walk down the sidewalk. I catch up to her easily. I stop her by grabbing her arm but she pushed me away. Tears were falling from her eyes.
"Leah..," I start but she interrupts.
"No! Don't talk to me!."
"Leah! No, no, I didn't kiss her!," I say as she started walking again.
I keep walking after her.
"Oh really?! Than what was that in there??," she says spinning her self around to face me.
"She kissed me! She kissed me.. I didn't kiss back.. I pushed her away..," i say softly.
She looks down. I put my hand on her chin and tilt her face up.
"I would never kiss her.. I love you."
She's silent. She pulls away from me.
"I..I just need some t-time alone," she says and walks away.
I stay standing in the middle of the sidewalk. I grip my hair tightly and I close my eyes tight.
"Leah.."
