Left Behind In Her Past

Lacey

Chapter Eight

Lilah Pov

I finally remembered. I can't believe I forgot about him. I guess I pushed my memories of my childhood because I was afraid to face the pain again. When I did that I ended up forgetting about the best parts of my childhood too...

I can't believe I didn't remember him when I saw him. Why has he been running away from me though? Is it because he doesn't want to talk to me anymore? Ugh I need to find out. I'll ask him the next time I see him.

I pushed myself up from the ground and started walking to school.

As soon as I got to the gate I walked into the building heading for first hour. Crap.. I'm late. I entered the classroom and everyone's eyes stared at me like I just murdered someone. Jeez what a nice way to feel welcomed. I sat down in the back laying my bad on the floor. I was so tired from staying up playing video games last night that I ended up falling asleep.

"Ms. Avila..wake up."

"Huuh..." I said drowsily.

" class is over and here's a detention for falling asleep in class. Don't be late. Get going now."

"Fuck.." I cursed under my breath and grabbed my stuff. Leaving the classroom I saw Lacey. "Lacey wait up!" She turned around smiling big. I wondered what's gotten into her.

"Hey girl"

"Hey.. What's with the gigantic smile on your face?"

"Ooh" she laughed and smiled "I just met an adorable hunk this morning."

"Oh really? What's he look like?"

"Black hair flipped to the side, snake bites..." She bit her lip thinking of him and I rose my eyebrow. "He has blue eyes too! Well sculpted face, broad shoulders... Nice body.. Mm his abs.."

"Abs? How do you know he has abs?"

"Well.. He took off his shirt.."

"Why in the world would he do that?!"

"He needed to change his shirt cause it was drenched in sweat."

"Oh... Still weird..Wanna hang out at lunch today?"

"Hmm... Idk I might just look for the guy I met.."

"What was his name again?"

"Dace. Why?"

"WHAT?!" I started to shake her back and fourth. People were staring at us like we were crazy.. They weren't wrong.

"What. Is. Wrooong. Wiiitthh. Yoou."

"How did you meet him while walking?!" I stopped shaking her.

"He crashed into me while he was skateboarding.." She grinned "but I'm glad he did because I ended up riding with him."

"Wha-whaat.." I looked down..and felt tears coming. Well I guess he has to live his life. And of course eventually...li-like a girl...

"What's wrong? Wait do you like him? I can back off if you want me to?"

"Huh? Oh no I don't you can h-have him um.. He's just a friend I used to know."

"If ya say so! Then I'm going after him! Wish me luck! Oh there he is! Bye girl." Lacey winked and walked up to Dace poking him and smiling. He smiled at her..I miss him and his smile.. I miss how bright his blue eyes got when he saw me.. But now they're filled with fear..fear of me.

I know it's wrong to wish this but I hope he doesn't fall for Lacey...
