~always know your friends and foe's.Making my way to the entrance a feminine voice shouts "Delaila, why are you so eager to get in school, aren't you the one who usually sobs over school?". I let out a big groan. Meet my so called friend Laura, yes so called. Laura has been my friend since fourth grade up to my senior year,but her intentions were not always good. She didn't tell me though, what am I saying? No one would actually tell anyone their intentions especially if their bad, at least the people I know. Laura was fake not that fake but she was fake.
" Do I have a choice?" I said, "yes you can jump of a cliff" Laura says letting out a sneaky laugh. "I'm joking with you Jones", " yeah sure,like always". "So what are your plans for today?", Laura says making her way up to me, " Go through hell and go bury myself in my blankets". Before she could answer two girls approach us, lucky guess I thought to myself, "eyoh! Laila cute shoes" Leila says as she greets me with a hug, "thanks,they like you too ". " enough with the greeting sessions" Mia says. Mia and Leila were my other fake friends. "I got so much to tell you guys, Joe was acting fishy with me yesterday". Joe is Mia's boyfriend and he is the captain of the hockey team. He was a good friend of mine judging from the conversations we had in the English period. Before the gossip could begin I excused myself " I gotta go to the girls toilet, see y'all later " I say quickly walking away before they could reply.
Well I really needed to go to the toilet but the problem is there were always boys around there, sneaky teens. But among them was my crush Jace McBride, he was the hottest in our senior year he had a fair complexion, black hair that handsomely swept over his forehead and the most unbelievable grey eyes, he was my typa cute. Jace was also the captain of the soccer team, don't worry baby your queen is yet to rule with you. But he was taken. But I've lived with that since fourth grade sad huh but I'm never giving up on my boo. As I make my way through the bathroom hallway, Jace greets me with a wave, I smile back, yes we talk but only by mini conversations in class, we had the same periods and I made sure to sit behind him or two seats away from him in class. Crazy right? But in love you gotta hustle. Entering the bathroom I ran into Kimberly, the school slut, she was all over every boy in school and she was also Jace girlfriend I hate that thought. "Bitch you better keep in your lane, you lonely thing" yes she hates me, ever since I took her sit in the front row,next to her fourth grade crush, yes I've known her since fourth grade. I smiled back at her as usual but this time she caught my wrist and squeezed it hard "I'm talking to you slut", "let go of me,you're hurting me" finally she let go but I fell to the ground. I quickly stood up and run out of the bathroom crying "Jones!" I hear Jace call out as I ran past him.
I wasn't running because of what Kimberly had done, I was running away from all my pain and my past that kept haunting me, I never get caught up in Kimberly's taunts since I kind of caused it, but today after what happened yesterday night, I just can't it's too much considering the fact that I have no one to talk to , I tried online conversations like 7 cups of tea but it failed.My situation is too complicated to handle. Well at least my brain made me run to my first period which was English, so as I reached the door I quickly wiped my tears and walked into a room with with all eyes on me. "Your late Jones!" Says Mrs. Georgia "Sorry mem", " Alright take your seat". Getting out of trouble wasn't hard for me because of my A student record. "Wait up,what happened to your wrist" she asks, I quickly looked at my wrist in shock, it was covered in blood and it was swelling "Um hmm" I struggled looking for an excuse "I don't have all day,here take this cover it up" as she hands me a bandage, "thank you" I said making my way to the back of the class.
I usually set at the back because first I'm a loner, second I hate the front and third Jace was there, before I could approach my seat Jace gave me a paper, was he proposing to me already? Actually no as I sat down behind him reading the paper. He was apologizing on behalf of his girlfriend "I'm sorry, you shouldn't break down like that,you'll ruin your cute smile" awwwww, Jace was also a flirt and he knew how Kimberly was with me and he also knew how hard I've kept my cool. He is very friendly and he tries to befriend everyone. "Thanks" I said touching his back, "sure,wanna grab lunch together?" ,my heart did a little somersault before answering "sure", " see you after Chemistry then" he said turning back to face the chalkboard. " Om chicken fingers" he just asked me out, I laughed, keep your calm Delaila,I thought to myself taking out my stuff.
