School. I dreaded everytime just thinking about it. Do I have to go? I mean I have to right? It is that big part of my life that will ensure my future, or so told by my family. I should believe them because look at my parents and their successful career. I want to succeed like them.
Like every other weekdays, holidays not included, I go by my usual regime and carpool with Cody to school. Oh did I mention that carpooling with him is not free at all? I feel bad for doing this to Cody like every weekdays, so I decided to pay him a good pay monthly for his effort. He was a bit reluctant but I insisted and told him that the money can be his savings for whenever college or university fee that he chooses to go. He agreed and accepted his job. Atleast he benefited from taking me to school and sending me home right? Wink wink.
The ride was silent to school with the song idontwannabeyouanymore by Billie Ellish playing in the background. She is such a Queen. Throughout the ride all I can think of is last night's event. Was he a stalker? It felt like he's a stalker though. I sighed, "who are you?" I mumbled quietly.
"See you at lunch!" I waved off Marsha and Cody before entering my Biology class.
During lunchtime, I was in my quiet self again. Thinking hardly about that mysterious stranger. "Heat!" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked over to Cody and Marsha with a worried look on their face then to my lunch. I haven't touch it since I got them. "What's wrong with you?" Cody scrunched up his face from annoyance. "You've been like that since morning Heat" Cody softens his face. "Is there something wrong Heather? You know we're here for you if you need someone to talk about?" Marsha interrupted. I sighed and rubbed my whole face. "I'm alright guys, I guess my period is coming" I joked. Cody and Marsha both raised their eyebrows, "really, I'm alright" I assured them both.
Marsha looked like she's thinking hard about and spoke, "how about we go out tonight?" She smirked. "YES" Cody agrees with enthusiasm. I laughed and agreed with excitement. I probably need a night out to release all these negative vibe.
I bite into my sandwich when a finger tapped violently on my right shoulder. I frowned and turned to look at who the source is. To my surprise it was Elly. She was bestfriend before Marsha and Cody. We used to do everything together. Now, we broke contact because my parents don't approve her rebellious behavior and thought that I might get influenced by it. She have this rebellious energy around her. So we both kinda went our own separate ways. Elly usually look like those girls next door with dark brown eyes, chopped bob curly hair, light olive skin and a rock attire. She always have a thing for rock music and anything related to rock. But now, seeing her standing in front of me. She looks opposite from who she was. Same dark brown eyes with tint of naughtiness in them but a long curly hair. She's now one of the school's cheerleader. I remember her hating the school's cheerleader.
"Hi El" I greeted her with a smile. "Don't 'Hi El' me" She snaps. Both Marsha and Cody took notice. "You don't get to call me that anymore" She added roughly. Cody looked at both me and Elly with a questioned look. I sighed, can this day be any better? I understood her behavior towards me. It was a rough road to recovery. I nodded sideways to Cody so that he won't interfere. "Alright Ellicia, what do want from me now?" I questioned her, trying to control my coming temper. I have a really short temper by the way and this day is not helping at all. Elly smirked and grabbed my wrist roughly, "I want to talk to you about something" She finally said. She did not just grabbed me like that. We may used to be bestfriends, but that doesn't mean she can do that anymore. I yanked my wrist out of her grip and stood up. "Where" I groaned in annoyance. She snickered, "follow me"
"See you after school" I spoke to both Cody and Marsha. They nodded knowingly. I flash them a weak smiled before turning my heel to follow Elly. She lead me to a spot behind the school's cafeteria. This used to be a spot we both spent our lunch at. "Heather" She started.
