Count to Ten - A Robbie Kay FanFiction

Chapter 21 - Opposite Situations

I miss him. I undoubtedly miss him. The worst part of it is I can never fully admit it. Not even to myself.

Sleeping was impossible. The sun's radiance had already started peaking through my curtains by the time I realized I had only 30 minutes to get ready for school. It was a pain just getting up from my bed and picking out an outfit. I was still tired, but though I was exhausted my body refused to rest.

I'm going to be a wreck at school..

I moaned as I lazily crawled off my bed and towards my drawer. Out of carelessness, I pulled out a pair of black leggings and a red muscle tee to place over my black bandeau.

Breakfast was easy. When I came downstairs, mom was washing the dishes and had already prepared a meal for me; waffles topped with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. I finished half of it and decided to eat the rest when I came back from school.

Then I was off.

It was surprisingly cold, seeing as I was living in Texas. But it was easy to get used to. I chose not to wear a sweater for reasons unknown, so my arms were bare and freezing against the cold wind.

It wasn't enough to get things off my mind.

I'd forgotten how lonely it was without Robbie to be there with me. My room felt a lot colder as well as emptier. I didn't have anyone to talk to.

I was alone.

Without Robbie, I was alone as I'll ever be. And I hated myself for it.

What's worse was that I wasnt sure whether I had made a mistake or not. As a result, I intended to talk to him at school. I couldn't leave things the way way he left them off.

10 minutes and I finally made it to campus. As usual, everyone hung in their groups outside of school, waiting for the first bell to ring. I scavenged for my friends. Danielle, Khloe, Leia..... Jason. 

Jason.

Had I made a mistake with Jason?

He was suddenly my first priority so I searched for him. Coincidentally, by the time I started looking, his grey Toyota car pulled up at the parking lot. He stepped out with his backpack slung over one shoulder, and his expression was no rainbow in a rainstorm.

I took a deep breath and approached him.

"Jason!" I called.

His head shot up and turned to face me. I smiled at him and waved. He stared at me for a few seconds, frowned, then turned away.

He was only 5 steps before me so I strided next to him and grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey wait!" I said.

He shrugged me off. "Go away Robyn," he mumbled.

"Go away? But.. I wanted to talk to you."

"Well I don't," Jason snapped. "So just leave me alone."

He took three steps and I jumped in front of him. "Hold on a minute," I said.

He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Look, Robyn, I'm really not in the mood for you right now."

I furrowed my eyebrows confusingly at him. "A week ago you would've been gladly happy to see me."

"Yeah, well, that's changed."

He shoved past me and started walking towards the school.

"Now you won't even look me in the face?" I called after him.

He ignored me and continued to walk.

"Are you gonna ignore me for the rest of your life?"

No response.
