Everything happens for a reason!

chapter 9

Maybe there's
something you're afraid to say,
or someone you're afraid to love,
or somewhere you're afraid to go.
It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt
because it matters.

P.O.V. Scarlett

We ran until we reached the music room. Out of puff I glanced at her.
I really need to work on my condition.
While I was holding myself to my knees and breath like I ran a 5000 meter marathon, she seemed normal, not even sweating or breathing heavily.

>> You're crazy!<<, I smirked at her, still breathing heavily.
>> Wait, until you know me really<<, she smiled victoriously.

''She has lost one's marbles'', Patrick whispered in my head.

A couple students were sitting in the class, whether chatting with their phone or have a small talk. I took a seat at the window side in the back and plumed down my bag next to the chair. Aubrey did the same.

>>Why did you do that?<<, I asked her curiously; looking out the window.
>>Did what?<<, she asked weird.
>>Okay, the first kick he deserved but the sec- <<, she interrupted me, while I explained. I turned towards her.
>>You mean the second kick? Well they can flout anyone until it comes to my friends<<, she said looking in her music book.

Nobody expect Dijon, stood up for me or even messed with the gang because, someone blamed me. It feels weird, that someone actually care about me, after years.

>>Yo, do you know them?<<, she asked me before I drifted away of my thoughts.
>>Let's say I know them and I don't really like them<<, I said.
>>How comes? Like there must be a reason why this dickhead called you bitch, right?<<, she said aghast.
>>I hate them and they hate me<<, I said to her directly.

I don't fancy to talk about my past or them now. And to my surprise she shut her mouth. I kinda felt bad for replying like that. I really try to be nice and socially but, it's hard after I went through this by, myself and suddenly someone popped up in my life and try to be my friend after hadn't no one for years. Carter and Stephanie warned students not to be friends with me. Otherwise they'll get in trouble.

One day she will leave me all alone after, she knows the real 'me' which depends on the fake rumors. Even if she said she won't believe them. One day I'm going to sit here all alone again or the other option is that most of them will try to unfriend her with me so, I'll be the weak victim again. They say, I don't deserve any friends. I hate them. I hate them all. Now she like me but what if one day she's another opinion.

>>Sorry?<<, I mumbled looking at the written desk with names and gags in front of me.
>>For what? I mean your right it's non of my business so -- <<, I cut her off.
>>No, I mean to responding like that. You deserve an answer to it, but my life is complicated and it's weird to have someone by my side who supp -- <<, a voice cut me while talking.

>>Ms. Collins and you must be Ms. Mc Leed, right? As I see you found a friend but can you please continue your conversation after this lesson<<, she said friendly.

We both nodded and she continued her speech. I didn't noticed that Mrs. Gibbons entered the class which showed how engrossed I was with her in a conversation.
