Falling In Fall (Major Editing)

Hot or not

After class, I asked Hailey to meet me at the powder room. While I waited for her, I repeatedly swiped the red button on my phone, rejecting Chase's calls.

I never accepted apologies and explanations through phone calls and texts. It only made me feel as if I was cheap, and so was our relationship. Chase gave me a chance to know and grade him myself before giving the golden yes but, there were some things that just doesn't go well on a relationship.

Putting my phone back on my bag, I looked at my reflection on the mirror and released a heavy sigh. At the same time, Hailey walked in.

"Hey." She rushed to my side, putting her bag on top of the counter before leaning over to the mirror, checking her face for any retouches.

She looked at me through the the reflection when she noticed how silent I remained, "What's up?"

"Chase." I simple spoke.

Hailey raised her eyebrow and then directly stared at me, "What happened now?"

"He's being an idiot. He thought it helps a lot to hide something from me." I scoffed while I let my eyes roll.

Hailey groaned, "He cheated on you?! That stupid d*ckhead!"

"What? No. He did not. At least that's what I know..." I paused while Hailey waited for me to continue.

I sighed, staring back on the mirror. "He caught up in a fight and didn't even tell me about it. He said, the reason why he hid it to me earlier is because, "he didn't want me to worry about him"."  I quoted, before I tilted my head to meet Hailey's eyes. "The only message he sent me was the one this morning. After that.." I shook my head. "Nothing... Then suddenly, he decided to show up, with a bruise! How am I not suppose to worry about that? Oh, Nikki will understand. I mean, she's kind. She'll just aid my bruise. Is he even thinking straight??" I vented out.

"I understand, and don't worry. If he's really into this, he will figure out his flaws and educate himself to be a better one for you. Remember, don't let yourself do his work. He's courting you, so you better stay and be the Queen." Hailey genuinely spoke while painting up a smile of encouragement.

"...How I wish." I sighed.

"Let him learn from his mistakes. It'll be okay." She reassured with a smile.

I responded with a shrug and began changing the topic. "So, how about we go get a trip to the doctor?"

"Now?" Hailey lightly chuckled while slinging her bag on her shoulder.

"Yeah, come on." I grabbed my bag before we exited the powder room.

After a few minutes, we arrived to the nearest clinic. Entering in, we were welcomed by an empty waiting seats and an odorous smell of an alcohol. The wall was covered with a white wallpaper which has thin lines of black connecting from top to bottom and left the ceiling in all white for a clean finish. A few preventive posters for common ailments were also attached to the wall.

"Hello, I'm May. What are your concerns?" The doctor's assistant approached us in a pleasing manner.

"Uhm, we would like to see the doctor for a check up. My friend here haven't gotten her menstruation for a month now." I politely asked while motioning my hand to Hailey.

"Do you have an appointment?" She probed, facing Hailey.

Hailey shook her head, "No, ma'am."

"Okay. What's your name?" May asked, taking her pen.
