  Third week of May. I had just over four weeks left of school. I was done school on the 22nd of June. Then there was graduation, and then I was completely done. A part of me was terrified, while another part was completely relieved that I would be done with all the stress, people, and negativity.

It was finally Friday, after what felt like a hundred years. This week had been moving so slow, and it was finally the last day of school before the weekend.

The ride to school was the most awkward thing ever, especially after what happened the day before with Parker. I still wanted to help him. To be able to talk to him without rude words coming from his mouth. To be able to smile at him and not have him push right past me. To be able to look at him without being stared at with a cold look in his eyes.

I worried that was just a lost cause. Considering the way he spoke of me, I had a feeling that getting any help from me was one of the last things he wanted.

We swerved suddenly, and my shoulder collided with Parker's abruptly. "I'm sorry" I breathed, avoiding any eye contact with him to make things somewhat less awkward. He just turned his head the other way, and made it seem like nothing happened.

"What an asshole! Figure out how to turn on your fricken signal light!" Carl yelled from the front with frustration. "Sorry guys, you all okay?" He asked and looked to his side, gently rubbing Candace's upper-arm. We all gave an okay, even though my shoulder ached from the collusion.

I winced when the pressure of Parker's shoulder was removed from mine, and I let out a shaky breath. I pressed my palm against my aching shoulder, and regained my regular breathing. It was weird. Normally small collisions wouldn't hurt me, but for some reason my shoulder hurt terribly. A small thought crossed my mind that scared me. The night before, my legs felt incredibly weak, as did my arms. What if... what if something bad was happening to my body because I wasn't eating?

I tried to push away the fear that was growing within me, but I couldn't help it when I stepped out of the car in the parking lot and fell onto my knees.

"Oliver! Hey, you okay?" Candace hurried over to my side and gently grabbed my arm to help me up. Carl jogged over to my other side from around the car and helped me up as well.

I winced when I stood up, and stumbled into Candace. My shoulder felt like it was throbbing and I tried my best to hide how much it hurt. "I'm sorry!" I said quietly and I noticed the concerned look on my best friend's face. She had such a pitiful look on her face, and it made me nervous.

"Hey... it's-it's okay, sweets. Let's get you inside and cleaned up." Candace put her arm around my waist and walked me inside, Ashton and Carl stayed close too, to make sure If I fell they were there to help. Parker was... well I wasn't very comfortable that I could crane my neck around just to see where he was. Besides, I didn't expect him to be a body guard or something just to make sure I could make it into the school.

It seemed like Ashton could read my mind or something, because the next thing he said answered my question of where he was. "Good God. Parker's making out with Lily in the parking lot? Damn. He's literally got no chill." He and Carl chuckled.

  Once we were inside, I was taken to the school infirmary. I tried to object, terrified the nurse would see some type of symptom that gave away the idea of me not eating, but once we got there the nurse just gave me a couple bandages and medical tape and then I was on my way.
