CANDY FLOSS (FINAL CHAPTER) 

TEN

The events of yesterday kept repeating in my mind as I made my way to the school the next day. I was in a very twisted state of mind and even mom had pointed it out last night during dinner, saying that I was acting different lately. I couldn't blame her, I knew that as well. Everything was changing so fast, the world I had made around myself was crumbling down like a paper wall and I didn't know if I was suppose to hold it up or let it be.

''Hey Peyton, I hope you're doing fine. I'm really sorry for what happened.'' A girl named Kim from my English class said me as I was walking towards my locker as part of the daily routine to get my books.

''Yeah, okay whatever.'' I muttered irritably as she walked away giving me a look that suggested that I had been a part of high school massacre.

''What's wrong with everyone?'' I said to my self and opened my locker. It was no longer a surprise that there was candy floss there, though today it was blue and slightly bigger. I opened the note hastily, in case I wouldn't get late for the class.

There was a very badly drawn cartoon inside, it was me since the hair of the girl were spirally and colored yellow. I was carrying two bog stones in each arm, one had 'love' scrawled on it and the other had 'friends', I was making a very sad face and the stones were crumbling me down with their weight, there were also cracks in them. Something registered in the back of my mind and before I could think anymore, someone tapped my shoulder.

Cassie hugged me before I could speak; I patted her back, blinking in confusion.

''Oh my God Peyton! Are you alright? I had been calling you like forever and you didn't pick up!'' I patted my pocket,

''I forgot to charge yesterday, I'm sorry,'' I apologized and saw a miserable expression crossing her face, ''what's wrong?''

''I can't believe Cameron did this to you, I always knew he was a jerk, an asshole, biggest shitbag to exist! I am so sorry Peyton, I really am I-''

''Hey, calm down!'' I grabbed her shoulders and made her stop blabbering, ''what are you talking about?''

Her eyes widened, ''Y-you don't know?!''

''Know what exactly?'' I demanded, '' and now that I think about it, why is everyone acting so weirdly? Even Roland said something like this when I was going to class the day before yesterday...'' I added as I remembered our brief conversation.

''Peyton, didn't you saw your Facebook after that party?'' I shook my head, my mind was in a complete whirlwind and I had no time to waste my time on Facebook,

''Nope,'' She hesitated to speak, ''wait...is this about that video?'' I asked and her eyes widened once again.

''So you saw Cam and Ashley together?''

''What video is you talking about?'' I had been thinking they were all going on about his dance video but the mention of Ashley's name sent warning bells ringing in my ear.

Cassie sighed and got her tablet out, after tapping a few times she gave it to me. Doubtfully, I took it and a video played. It took me few seconds to process what I was seeing, at first I thought there were two overly hormonal teenagers getting too wild on a wall but then through a sideway shot I saw Cameron's face and his black collar shirt and everything went down the drained. I handed the tablet back to Cassie with shaking hands and felt sick.

I breathed in and out. No way...just no way could this happen...no way...

''I can't believe it...'' I muttered and walked away from my locker, leaving the candfloss, leaving the door opened, leaving Cassie hanging there and leaving a lot fo things, trust was one of them.
