Sing It For the World

Chapter 47

~Mikayla~

I stroded down the long corridor from the front office to principal Trevor's office. I gulped, having no idea what I could have possibly done wrong. All the memories from my last year in my hometown had me slightly paranoid and it irritated me. I hated showing any weaknesses or much emotion. I'd rather cover it up with a mask of being mean to people and a jerk. It pushes people away instead of them trying to get to know me.

 Once we entered his office he inquired for me to sit on one of the chairs. I did as told as awkwardly as possible. I was at the edge of the chair, trying to distract myself with the pictures on the wall.

"Mikayla! Are you listening to me?" The principal asked me, bringing me back to reality. I hadn't even realized I was lost in my own thoughts.

"Oh, um no...?" I say unsure. He frowns but then sighs.

"I was asking how are you holding up? With everything coming up again..." He trails off, unsure how to advance the subject.

"Look, it's okay. It's not a crime to talk about it." I assure him. In reality, it pained me everytime someone brought it up. 'Jail Girl' was still in my mind. Even if it wasn't one of the most creative names, it still made me paranoid that people would see me as a delinquient and not actually get to know me.

We all had pasts and done horrible things but that wasn't something I even did and it still haunted me so why were people making it a big deal?

"I know but it must be a touchy subject." He pointed out but I just waved it off.

I look up and answer. "Doesn't matter to me." I wave it off with a hand.

"The point is: we are one week away from the end of the school year. I'm giving you permission to leave early though. Jason asked if he can take you and Lizlee home early." He explained. I narrowed my eyes and my mind was racing on possible ways of how to kill Jason and make it look like an accident. Then I would have a real reason to go to jail.

I winced at my own mind joke and shook my head.

"So today you may leave early back home. We aren't doing anything in any classes anymore since we're too busy setting things up for the seniors' graduation." He says and then stands up.

"But maybe I don't want to leave." I tell him.

"Not a choice. You're leaving with Jason and Lizlee today." He says with a wide smile, knowing his word is final. I sigh and walk out with a frown. I will kill Jason. I will murder him in his sleep. I will bring him back from the dead just to kill him again. I didn't go back to class though, I merely went to go get Cooper.

If I had to leave, he was coming with me.

~Lizlee~

The rest of the day Mikayla didn't return to class so I felt awfully guilty.When the day finally ended I wanted to run to the dorm but knew I had to do something first.

I walked out of class and immediately searched for Aiden. As I'm walking, somone puts their arms around me. "Hey darling." Aiden whispers as I turn around with a glare. He made this so much easier.

"You asshole!" I yell and then slap him harder than I did Jacob. Obviously, everyone starts staring. I don't even give Aiden a chance to say anything since I walk off in my combat boots.

I walked off confident this time. I was done with him and all his lies. Now I had something else to do. I walked frantically around the school halls searcing for Jacob.

Instead I bumped into Jason. I was going to walk past him when he grabbed my arm. "Pack. We're leaving home early." He simply said and walked off. I stopped and stared at him, schocked.
