F O U R T E E N

I park my car in the parking lot and get out. I put my bag on my shoulder and walk to the high school's doors. While I was driving, Chelsea sent me a text and told me she feels really sick, so she won't come today. Perfect. So I have only Meredith because Lily and Clarisse still don't talk to me, and Zack is still sick.

Once I'm in the hallways, I stride to my locker. I stop when I find Meredith at her locker.

"Good morning!" I said.

"Morning! Chelsea's not coming?"

"She's sick. She won't come today."

"Oh."

We start walking to my locker.

"So, what have you done last night?" she asks me.

"Promise me you won't get mad."

"I promise."

"I was with Ethan at a lake. We talked. Oh, and yesterday, after school, in the parking lot, Grayson slapped me."

"He what?" she asks really mad.

"It doesn't matter anyway. I hit him too."

"But..."

"Please."

I open my locker and take my books for my first period.

"Hey, Kathy!" I turn around and see Ethan. Grayson was standing next to him, looking at his phone.

"Hey!" I hug him really short.

"I'm really sorry for earlier," he whispers.

"It wasn't your fault." I look at Grayson for a second and I swear I saw him rolling his eyes.

"Let's go, Ethan!" his brother insisted.

"Alright. See you later."

"Bye!"

"What was he talking about?" Meredith asks me as we leave my locker.

"Oh, well, I didn't go home last night. I slept over Ethan's. And this morning Grayson tried to say sorry, grabbed my arm..."

"You did what?"

"I promise I didn't do nothing. He's my friend."

"Alright. But... Be careful. I still don't trust any of them."

"I will, Meredith. I promise."

I stop eating and take my phone out of my pocket. I see a text from Chelsea.

Chels ❤️: How's school, loser?

I roll my eyes and giggle.

"What happened?" Meredith asked me.

"Chelsea is being a bitch. That's all." she laughs.

"Well, isn't she?"

"Correct."

Katherine: Fuck you, Chels

"Meredith, we should go. It'll ring in two minutes."

"Fine."

We get up and walk out of the cafeteria. When I'm in front of the door, someone from outside opens it suddenly. It hits me pretty bad in the forehead.

"Auch, what the heck?" I ask and massage the area that hurts me.

"Did I hit you?" I see Grayson smirking, almost laughing.

"You're an idiot," I mutter and try to walk past him, but he grabs my wrist.
