A/N Abby above. Just in case you wanted to see her fiery red hair, and emerald green eyes. Oh and her adorable freckles. 😍
"Ethan, are you even listening to me?" my best friend, Abigail (Abby) West, complained at me, her emerald green eyes full of annoyance. Contrary to Abby's cutesy look with her freckles, bright red hair, and kind smile, she's got an attitude hidden behind that cute exterior. And apparently, it's directed at me at the moment.
"Yes. Of course, I'm listening to you," I lied as I turned away from my locker.
Abby dug her hand into her hip and sent me a challenging smirk. "Oh yeah, then what did I just say?"
I desperately searched my brain for a fragment of what Abby was talking about, but I came up with nothing. My cheeks burst into flames with embarrassment and I gave Abby a sheepish smile.
"See! You have no idea what I just said," she huffed.
"Uh, sorry. I guess I just spaced out for a sec," I responded lamely, then leaned against my locker and loudly yawned.
She scrutinized me for a few seconds, her eyes filling with concern. "You do look pretty--"
"Tired. I stayed up late last night studying," I interrupted as I sent her a drop it look. Thankfully, she just shrugged it off without interrogating me.
"Ashley Greene posted this last night about Jason." Abby held up her phone, showing me a picture of her boyfriend--Jason--and a girl on her cheerleading squad labeled Date night with the bf.
"What a jackass," I growled as I glared at the picture. I then looked up from the phone and cautiously raised an eyebrow. "You okay? I know you guys dated for a while..."
She laughed and waved me off. "Oh please, I got over that asshole with a pack of thin mints and a Twilight book."
I was about to respond when I heard a familiar laugh that made my stomach clench. My ex, Mackenzie Harrington, and her 2nd new boyfriend since we broke up a few weeks ago were standing directly across the hall, and MacKenzie was laughing at something her new boy toy was saying.
Mackenzie and I dated for a little over 3 months, and we just recently broke up. Well, she broke up with me. For no obvious reason. At least she never told me the actual reason she dumped me. And I'm finding it to be easier said than done when it comes to getting over her.
Mackenzie must have felt my gaze on her, as she turned to look at me with a mischievous smile. She shoved her boyfriend up against a locker and started making out with him. Bitch...
Abby snapping at me brought my attention back to her. She rolled her eyes and said, "Fuck her, Eath. She's just doing that to piss you off."
"Fucking her would be nice..." I joked.
She laughed and patted my arm. "Only in your dreams, Eath."

"Class, we have a new student with us today. Give Mr. Malone here a warm welcome," Mr. Smith, our English Lit teacher, droned on and gestured to the tall, dark-haired guy standing next to him.
"It's actually Leo," the new kid joked, which earned a laugh from most of the kids in the class--myself included.
The new kid smiled widely at everyone, obviously basking in the attention, as everyone said in a monotone voice, "Welcome to our school, Leo."
