Broken

39.

Hey, fellow readers. I need a new book cover and it'd be nice if one of you all made me one, if possible. If you know anyone that can make covers, pm me. If you can make nice covers, pm me. Thanks <3.

The next day at school, I was very uneasy. Everyone kept staring at me, or whispering whenever I walked pass them.

I shut my locker and put my lock on it before walking away.

I walked to class and I saw Marquez talking to Mrs.Wells.

I rolled my eyes and took my seat, way in the back so I wouldn't have to be near anyone I don't like.

"Why'd you choose this seat?" Marquez walked up to me.

"Don't worry about it." I snapped.

"Damn, who hurt you?" He laughed. "Listen, I heard about you and - Crazy boy - So whenever you ready to get with a real nigga, let me know." He moved pieces of hair that were in my face and tucked it behind my ear.

He chuckled while walking back to his seat.

I took out my journal and stuff and started to write down what was on the board.

August walked in and sat directly in his seat, not saying a word to anyone.

I expected that.

This morning, he didn't say good morning. He woke me up like my stepdad used to wake me up with that "you got six minutes" or whatever. He didn't say "You look beautiful." Or nothing this morning like he usually did. He gave me the silent treatment, which I can probably understand why.

I felt kind of selfish because I didn't consider his feelings. It seemed like I didn't care how he felt if I broke things off with him.

The car ride here was pretty awkward. I tried not to look at him, but I could tell he was still upset.

Then, when we had got here, Jasmine was smiling at him. He looked at her, but didn't say anything back.

I was hoping he didn't already have eyes for anyone else, because I still wanted to be with him. Who wouldn't want to be with their first love?

In second period, I still had to sit by Celeste because I had picked her as my lab partner for the year. I didn't dare to say a word to her, and she knew exactly why.

She never really apologized for what she did, and that is another reason why I won't say a word to her.

Jasmine on the other hand, just liked to be petty toward me. She was still mad because I supposedly took August from her. He just wanted better and he got it.

We were currently working with chemicals, so me and Celeste were following the instructions that were given to us.

"Mix substance one with substance two - It gives us a warning that it might bubble up, so make sure your gloves are on good." Celeste said while handing me the tubes.

I put on my gloves and strapped them tightly so nothing will touch my hand.

I poured and mixed the substances and it bubbled up faster than I expected.

"This stuff stinks" I frowned.

"I'll do the next one." She giggled.

I didn't find anything funny.

While she was mixing up the second set of substances, I felt something hot splash against my back.

"Oh shit!" Celeste yelled and rushed me to the sink.

"What is it that splashed on me?" I frowned while she poured water on where the stain was.

"My chemicals. Oops." Jasmine snickered.

"Your hair is turning a brownish gold." Celeste said while she continued to wash it off.

"What?!" I panicked.

"Calm down, its only going to stay like this for about a week or so." Celeste said.

I was on the verge of tears.

She had put her chemicals on me because she hated me that much.

"D-does it look okay?" I frowned.

"What happened over here?" Our teacher came over to where our desk was.

"Jasmines childish ass put chemicals on her hair, and it's turning a different color." Celeste explained.

The bell rung and I sighed in defeat.

"Jasmine, stay after class. Izel, try to put your hair into a bun so the color change won't be seen." The teacher spoke and gave me a pass.

Me and Celeste walked to the back where she had a mirror set up and fixed my hair.

"Your hair isn't damaged or nothing. It's just a different color, and it's kind of cute." Celeste smiled.

I don't know why she was trying to be all buddy buddy with me, but I hope she knew I was never going to forgive her for what she did.

When we were done, I grabbed my stuff and left the classroom.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and when I checked it, I saw another message from a new unknown number.

I didn't even bother reading it, I automatically blocked the number.

"Someone's watching you." I heard August voice. I turned and saw him looking through his phone.

"How do you know?" I frowned.

"Because I got yo messages linked still." He looked at me with a duh face.

I had forgot he still had our phones synced.

"Let them watch then." I shrugged.

"Izel, dis shit right hea' is serious - You got people out for you."

"Cant you stop them Mr.Drug dealer?" I frowned.

"Why are you still judging me for dat? I get it already - I made you mad or whateva' but you ain't gotta keep throwing dat shit in my face. You'd be hurt if I called you 'Mrs.Gullible' or 'Mrs.Easy to get to', now wouldn't you?"

I stayed quiet.

"Exactly, now watch yo back, because I don't know who it is and if they go to this school or not." He said before walking away.

I lied to y'all. I made this one short too. Oops.

Anyways, on to these questions.

Who do y'all think is watching her?

Y'all think they'll get back together?

You think August will get back with Celeste or Jasmine? Lmao.

Marquez and Izel?

Y'all think Celeste trying to be Izel friend again?
