"Alex.", The voice of William called out catching up to me.
Keep walking, and ignore him.
I told myself wanting to hold my tongue, but I couldn't. I can't. There was so much to say, but I hadn't.

I looked ridiculous.
I was crying like a damn child.
If I don't suck this shit up, and be a boss ass bitch.

I was half way down the end of street, by the time he caught up to me.
"Alex", William said grabbing my arm turning me around.

"Don't touch me", I said as serious as I could.
He let go quickly.

"It wasn't what it look like", he said.
"So she kissed you?", I asked.
"It's not that simple", he said.

How not simple could it be then.

"He doesn't need a girl like you", the voice of his mother replayed in my head.

"I can't.. I can't even believe I actually thought you liked me. That we could actually be a couple, despite our differences.", I said.

"Alex, just let me explain", he said.
"No. Your mother spoke enough for you", I said.
"You spoke to her?", He asked.

"Yeah.", I said.
"What did she tell you?", He asked.
"Everything I needed to hear", I said.

"Alex, it's complicated", he said.
"You know what... Screw this. Screw you. I don't need this, and I most certainly don't need you", I said.

Good girl. Alex. Fuck him.
Not literally.

"Alex.", He said as he noticed I was slowly walking away.
"Just stay the hell away from me", I said walking off.

"Alright. You've been sick for 4 days already. You missed enough school, you seem fine. So your going to school today", Trudy said after coming into my room.

"No. Please. Don't make me go", I practically begged her. I couldn't see his face. I'd be embarrassed.

"Whatever is troubling you need to find a way to ignore it", she said.
But how could I ignore him.

Damn. Falling in love sucks ass.

She sat down on my bed, patting my back.
"Sometimes in life you will be broken, but it when you get up that will heal you.", She said.

"So, your going to go to school today, and prove to everyone that, someone stupid rich guy isn't going to stop you", she said making my laugh.

"Thanks, Trudy", I said hugging her.

I walked to the first period door which William was. Of course, he was there he had never miss a day of school. I sighed, turning the doorknob, the class that was once loud become quite.

When entering the classroom I didn't make eye contact with anyone in classroom, I walked past William like he wasn't even there.

I sat in the back of class, and whispers travel like a disease. I swallowed my pride, plugging my headphones in and blocking it all out.

Once the bell rang, I was the last student in the room leaving, I turned to the corner to see William.
"Alex, can we talk?", He asked.

I ignored him, going to my locker.

"Look at how pathetic she is?", A voice behind said which led to laughter.

I swear on of these bitches would make me snap.
"And she thought Anne was out of the picture", another voice said.

I breathed heavily, trying to calm myself.

"I can't believe she actually thought William liked her", a voice said.

That was it.
I slammed my locker causing attention, "don't you bitches have anything better to do then talk about me?", I asked turning around.

"Oh no. We're so scared. Touch us and we sue", she said.
"By the time I'm finished you would even be able to speak, so sue who?", I asked as people gathered around.

"Listen... Alex, I totally get if you mad, but it isn't our fault Will chose Anne and not you", she said.

I began to take off my bag, as I started taking off my earrings, "I'm going to enjoy kicking all of your asses", I said throwing them to the ground as I leaped forward towards one of them, as I was pulled away.

"What the hell is your problem?", A familiar voice asked me.
I looked up to see Sophie, I began to break down.

"Alex?", She asked.
I held my stomach and forehead, "i- i can't do this. I thought I could, but I can't.", I said.

"Alex. Are you seriously crying over him?", She asked.
"I love him", the words escaped my mouth as if it have been wanting to say it for the longest time.

She froze.
"Aw. Honey. Come here", she said pulling me into a hug.
Why was so emotional over him.
Maybe because what I said was true.
I did. I do. I love him.
