One Month

"BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP"

I sighed helplessly in my bed not wanting to have my first day of school since last month.

I took my phone off of my nightstand and checked the notifications.

"Hey Scar, you going to school today?"

A text from my best friend Belle read.

I sighed and texted back...

"Yes"

I quickly got out of bed and ran to my bathroom. I applied my morning burst to my face and lathered it in then I ran to my closet and picked out a floral dress and an army jacket. I curled my hair and put it into a ponytail.

I applied mascara, eyeliner, and bb/cc cream to my face.

I smiled at the complete look then took my smile off when I realized everyone would be gossiping today about me and Mark's breakup. Great, just what I needed. Yet another sigh.

But I pepped up this morning when my mother was making her homemade smoothies (she's a local chef and her food is so good) and she let me try one!

"Okay, hurry Scar, you don't want to be late!" She called. "Okay, bye mom, I love you!" I called back as I walked to the garage and got into my Mercedes.

I gave my phone one last check before I regretfully got out of my car. I looked around the rainy parking lot. Only a few people were giving me strange glares but most all were glancing at me and trying not to look at me. All of the sudden I felt this horrible feeling like something was inside my head and trying to get out.

I fell to the ground screaming hard and seeing my surroundings go black. I heard a bunch of footsteps and saw the feet of at least 30 students surrounding me as if I was a science excitement. I heard some yelling and then felt muscular arms lift me up and carry me somewhere but I couldn't see or hear anything all I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the dread that came with the thought that maybe, just maybe Mark was carrying me.

"Scarlet, honey you awake?" A lady in all white asked me I looked around me and realized this was the school nurses office.

I felt a hand around my arm and looked toward my left and saw Devon smiling down at me.

"Oh she's awake!" He said to the nurse.

"Hey Scar, I'm so sorry about Mark, I tried I-I-." He began.

"No, it's fine it's not your fault. I was making a big deal about it and stuff so let's just put that behind us." I said with a smiling face.

"Why did you faint?" He asked. "Oh, well the brain cancer sometimes does that to me, it just...I don't know really. But it'll all be fixed in one month." I said with a half smile.

He frowned and said nothing more.

As we were walking to class together we caught up on everything with each other since the last time we saw each other was the eighth grade.

He turned to a locker and punched in his code. "So, what's your next class?" He asked.

"Sports." I replied. "Oh really? What sport?" He asked. "Ice skating." I replied shyly not wanting him to laugh for I'd been doing the same thing since I was five.

"Really?" He asked. "Yeah, I really just like the feeling I get when there's nothing to stop me. No cancer, no bullies, no boyfriend, nothing. I'm free to do and go anything and everywhere while I'm on the ice."

"Literally nothing can stop me when I'm on the ice." I said even more shyer.

I shuffled into my math class quickly trying not to arouse any unwanted stares from my fellow students.

I looked for an available seat and the only one was right next to Mark...
