ring. headache. screaming. yelling. ring. headache. screaming. running. yelling. screaming. headache. regret.

i'm sprung up to life by my alarm, gasping for air, attempting to breathe in and out. it was a nightmare, and i couldn't be more scared. i did make a mistake and i know it but i'll keep telling myself that nothing happened yesterday and that i wasn't leading Brandon on merely for my own gain. i wasn't using him. i'm not using him, he's simply my distraction..

looking over to my left, i grab my phone still breathing in and out , noticing the three missed calls from three different people. Lauren, Brynn and Brandon. i haven't spoken to Brynn ever since she's told me that she's leaving. that was only yesterday. time flies when you're having fun.(!) as for Lauren, ever since the fight with Johnny, she hasn't been around. i figured she'd want to spend some time with him but it doesn't really concern me.

unlocking my phone, i tap the green camera face time icon and press Lauren's contact.

"hi Kenzie! it's been a while" i smile at her and say the same thing. she asks some unnecessary questions and then stares at me.

"you're waiting for me to spill some tea aren't you?" i ask sitting comfortably on my bed's frame. she squeals nodding slightly and i sigh.

"i might have asked Brandon to the winter dance" i whisper awaiting her response. she bites her lip and turns her camera around exposing Johnny who was sat on the couch eating his breakfast.

"did he hear anything?" i whisper supper quietly, she shrugs turning the camera back around to her. i nod slightly, gulping.

"i've got to go.." i reply, waving to the screen and pressing the hang up button. there always has to be a twist in my life story doesn't it?

"Brandon?" i question, holding the cold phone screen to my ear

"text me" he whispers, hanging up. i've always wondered what went up in his house, i've always had a feeling that it didn't have anything to do with strict education parents at all.

me: why text?

brando: Sorry. parents..

me: course.. are you alright?

brando: Yep why wouldn't i be?

me: idk. what did you want to tlk to me about?

brando: Listen Kenzie, that kiss last night.. did it mean something? even if it did what about John?

me: i don't care for John.

left on seen? great.

"MACKENZIE! SCHOOL, NOW" mom yelled , i groan loudly and get ready. putting on a white Brandy Melvin sweatshirt alongside some black jeggings and some white converse.

"morning" i say grabbing a slice of toast and running out of the room. i could feel Maddie's eyes on me the whole way but I chose to not care.

grabbing my keys and school bag, i run out of the house and wait for Lauren to show.

a few minutes later they both show. she looks at me with a look that read 'sorry' but i brushed it off and joined her other side. i look over at Johnny and we make eye contact but he breaks it leaving us all to walk in an uncomfortable silence.

"have you done your geometry homework?" Lauren asks breaking the silence , i nod and we continue to walk upwards into our high school. as we were about to walk in together, John runs off to stand beside his girlfriend. i'm happy for him, honestly.

"why was he here?" i question getting frustrated.

"i didn't know he was behind me when we walked out the house"she replies rolling her eyes. "we haven't talked just because of him isn't it?" she queries, bitting her nails. i wanted to say no but that would be lying so i stayed quiet and opened my locker.

"lets just go to class okay?" she looks over at me and leaves. "Lauren! wait!" i yell with no success, i had let John get in the way of our friendship and it wasn't fair at all.

bell rings

late again. i run, in a dumb crooked way, across the hallway and make my way towards geometry only to be pulled into the janitor's closet. it was pitch black, i couldn't see anything or even the person who pulled me in there.

"let me g-" i felt a pair of soft lips smash against my own. i wanted to stop it but i liked it, they were smooth and they moved in perfect synch with mine. the person rapidly pulls away and runs out of the closet leaving me to drown in confusion.

******
"Miss Ziegler , you're late! again!" i run into my seat and sulk myself onto it.

"don't you see sir, she's clearly been snogging someone by the looks of her lipstick" someone comments making the whole class burst into a fit of laughter.

"shut up you bitch! no i wasn't!" i yell back wiping my lipstick off. "i wouldn't be surprised you hoe! you've kissed Johnny and his best friend!" she comments again. they all start laughing and cheering her on making me drown in disbelief. how the fuck did she know about that? i only told one person!

looking over to my left i bite my lips nervously. you can go ahead and guess who was sitting beside me and i'll tell you that you got it right. he looked over at me in disgust, literal disgust and i couldn't believe my own eyes. he stood up , gathering his things and moving seats. i try to reach for his wrist but fail miserably..

"THAT'S QUITE ENOUGH MARY-ANN THANK YOU!" Mr Sickle finally yells. "oh so now you yell for her to be quiet!" i start getting up and go over to his desk. "you're such a fucking useless teacher!" i scream losing my temper and walking towards the door.

"MACKENZIE TO THE OFFICE NOW!"

"oh fuck off will you" i reply rolling my eyes and slamming the door shut
