New week:
Mum was starting to irritate me now. I told her that I wasn't hiding anything but she still kept pushing...I didn't let it slip though. My friends deserve their secrets to stay secret, especially from parents. On Monday morning Mum dropped me off outside the school gates as I ushered myself out of the car, without a glimpse back.
"Katie...are you ok?" Aimee asked, with a concerned look on her face. I nodded then pushed past her, trying to get to form so I could dump my bags then hide in the toilets for a bit to clear my head. "KATIE STOP PLEASE! WE CLEARLY NEED TO TALK!" Aimee shouted down the corridor but I just blanked her.
When I walked into form I could see Leila and Mia jumping up out of their seats to come over to me, so that was my cue to leave. I had no plan of going to PE so I ran to the back field and out of the hole in the fence. It leads to a random field at the back of the school, no one ever comes here though.
When I found a space to sit, far enough from school, I collapsed on the floor and burst out into tears. Everyone always expects me to be strong and sort their problems out. Sometimes all I want is someone to do that for me...but my Mum is awful in these situations and to be honest, my friends aren't the best.
"Katie...I've seen you come here before so I knew you'd be here. Please don't go." Rhys sat down timidly beside me but didn't say anything else. I abruptly wiped my eyes and slowly lent on his shoulder as more tears flowed down my face.
"Katie...you can talk to me you know. I may not be any help, but it does help to get it all out. I promise. Oh and Aimee told me to give you this, but explain first."
"I don't know what to do anymore...all this boy drama is messing with my friends heads. I don't even think I know them anymore. No one understands what it's like for no one to understand the pain I feel because it just makes me sound selfish so I don't complain. But then I get shouted at for not telling anyone...I can't take it anymore!" I put my head in my hands as Rhys handed me the note.
Katie, I don't know what has gotten into you but you're starting to worry us all. The happy, bubbly, reliable You seems to have disappeared over the last week and I hate it. I know it's selfish of me to keep asking you to pass things between me and Kyle so I promise to stop. I also know that you think none of us understand...we do Katie. We are all here for each other, and that includes you! Please talk to me, I miss my best friend...
