The Shattered// E.D G.D

Burning eyes- not tears!

< Cry baby- The neighbourhood >

I think I worry a lot
I need to take it easy
I got this anxious feeling
But it goes away for a minute
When I'm with you breathing

< everybody talks - Neon trees >

All this trash talk make me itchin'
Oh my my
Everybody talks, everybody talks
Everybody talks, too much
It started with a whisper

I SHUT THE OFFICE DOOR, sighing against a locker besides me. I felt this tension overtaking my body, making my shoulders and neck stiff. It was like this heavy weight was on my shoulders now and I couldn't shake it off.

After Ethan left to the office, I felt this weird urge to call him back out here and demand he take back everything he did, but also hug me again. I don't know why that hug affected me so much, it's a normal thing normal people do.
But his hug was so warm and smelled so good and secure and...

Snap out of it Olivia! Because of that hug all the jealous bitches will be after you!

The bell rang, alerting everyone class was over and the next will began shortly. People began to crowd the hallway, fast and slow walkers taking up the spaces. My mind was traveling and bouncing so fast, I didn't notice the familiar girl rushing up to me through the crowd.

"Please tell me it's not true!" Daisy panted, her cold hands gripping onto my forearms and bringing them up to my face.

"Wha- what are you talking about?" I asked, blinking a couple of times to make sure I wasn't imaging the worry on her face.

"That you and Ethan Dolan are fucking!" She hissed but covered her mouth once heads turned our way. "People say you're going to start a sex deal with him on Sunday at Justin's party!" She whispered.

"I never agreed to that!" I yanked my arms from her grasp, furrowing my brows so much I was sure wrinkles would form.

"Thank god." She sighed in relief, placing a hand on her heart.

"Stupid Erica." I muttered underneath my breath, flexing my fingers into a fist. "Who told you that?" I demanded an answer from Daisy.

"Lexie told me who heard it from Daniel Webster who heard it from Tanya Garcia-" she kept talking but it faded from my ears. All I could think was:

This is all Erica's fault!

"Did the whole school hear this?" I cut her short, my eyes narrowing down at her.

"Um," she glanced away, then back to meet my eyes."you tell me." She pointed a finger in Rudy Baltimore's direction.

My eyes met his, and before I could close my eyes in disgust, he grasped the air and pretended to dry hump it. I mentally gagged, trying to delete the picture from my mind.

My eyes searched for Erica in the room, finding her down the hall probably gossiping about Ethan and I to some other girls. I took a step forward, and like reading my thoughts, Daisy yanked me back by the shoulder.

"Don't." One word, and it dissolved my plan to beat Erica's ass. "She will only win when she knows It affected you this much to want to fight her." I took a long look at her, deciding my options.
