By the end of the day, I had successfully managed to avoid Xavier. Or perhaps he wasn't interested anymore. Either way, I hadn't seen him since lunch.

Relief washed over me as I thought I had escaped his presence. It appeared all of my praying had been worth it as I exited my last class. Chemistry had never been one of my favorite classes; I just couldn't wrap my head around all of the atoms. It was the one thing I couldn't do.

Stepping out of the class, I waved goodbye to a good friend, Lucinda. I liked to think we were friends, as we always worked together on the subject and always helped each other when we were stuck on a homework question.

Lucinda was about 5'2, with brown hair and big brown eyes. She always wore big glasses that made her look cute. She was frail and small looking, making anybody who's friend with her, protective of her. We both met two years ago when I sat down at Lucinda's table. After bonding over some songs we liked, we became friends. I didn't get to see Lucinda much due to the fact that she always hung out at the library with her best friend, Wendy.

I started to walk to my locker, moving around other people when they were walking. I overheard some talking about a party next week hosted by Derek Campbell, one of Xavier's best friends. If the whole cheer squad decided to go, I would have to as well. I didn't mind parties but I preferred not going to them. I didn't like the boys that flirted with me or the alcohol they had.

Which reminded me, I had cheerleading tomorrow. I loved cheerleading but I didn't enjoy the people who were there. I could only tolerate a few of the girls, the rest were too awful. Especially my captain, Stacy, who was the ultimate b*tch of the school. I had never had a personally traumatic experience with Stacy but from testimonies of those who had, I never wanted to. I had witnessed a fair amount of arguments that the students here had with Stacy, and I felt so much pity for the poor people. Stacy was an awful person who thrived by making people depressed. Including my own 'friends'. It surprised me how Xavier had managed to stay with Stacy for a long time.

I mentally shook my head, I didn't care about that. I had never cared about gossip so why should I start now?

Once I made it to my locker, I unlocked it and took my stuff out. I had some homework that I had to do tonight, as well as trying to watch some episodes of Stranger Things. I had loved the first series and was very keen on the next one. As soon as it came out, I had watched five episodes. Sadly, I hadn't had much time recently, so I couldn't watch anymore.

Closing my locker, I made my way over to my car. My parents were nice to have bought me a Mini blue convertible, that I adored. I had gotten it for my 17th birthday and had been driving it everywhere ever since.

I felt some eyes on me as I strolled through the car park. I nearly shouted for them to mind their own business but it would only cause more gossip. So, with a defeated sigh, I tried to ignore them. However, it was easier said than done. I hated how they were all judging me, how they gossiped about me, made me sound like I was a no one. I hated Xavier for putting me in this position.

Quickly getting in, I drove away. Releasing a breath as I got further away from school. I hoped tomorrow they would have forgotten all about me and that Xavier had moved on with another girl.

"Sweetie, its dinner time!" My mother shouted from downstairs, at around 6 PM.
