juliens pov
we sat down in the classroom, the teacher just walking into the room. she said hello and that's when jenna booked it out of the classroom, sobbing loudly. i slightly stood up, wanting to go after her. and then that's when i looked over at him. he had a slight black eye from me punching him on thursday and he was smirking at me with the most disgusting grin i had ever seen. i fully stood up and walked towards him.
"mr. solomita please sit down, you can see jenna af-"
a loud smack ran throughout the classroom. i realized i had punched evan again in the face. he turned back over to me and i saw a look that i would never think to see from evan. kill. he wanted to kill me. he lunged towards me and tackled me to the ground. he punched me in the face multiple times. i tried to swing but i was no match against him. he kept going, i heard a ringing in my ear and i felt like the world was spinning. the pressure of him was pulled off of me and it was less that 10 seconds before i was completely passed out.
-----------------------------------------------------
i opened my eyes and was greeted by a face very close to mine. i slowly blinked my eyes, and saw that she was saying something. it sounded like slow blurs before i could fully hear her speaking.
"are you alright? sir, tell me what is your name." asked the lady. her voice was loud and naisily and it hurt my head. my body ached.
"sir, what is your name?" yelled the lady. i groaned and opened my mouth to speak. i groaned louder, it really freaking hurt to do that. ow what the fuck.
"julien....solomita." i croaked out. she nodded her head in aprroval and turned away from my face.
"now julien, do you know what happened?" she asked again. i rolled my eyes and responded.
"ya, i got beat up by evan peterson." i said.
"why?"
"because he-" i shut my mouth. should i tell her the truth? it's not something to tell, i made up a dumb excuse that i know wouldn't get me in to much trouble.
"he was just pissing me off and i got zero sleep last night." i said.
"okay. well i would like you to apologize to evan when you see him next. he got in trouble too but he didn't start it so." i nodded my head, not caring what the fuck evan was doing.
"alright i'm going to let you go home, since you look awful. but i gave your mom a call telling her what happened. she can't pick you up but she did say you had a ride. so you're going to have to ask them to take you home." i nodded, excited to see jenna again. but she would have to come back to school, and she's had an awful day too. i don't know where she went but i so badly want to go find her. evan fucking ruined her and i just want to put her back together. so i decided to make up a lie.
"i'm going to text my ride, if that's ok." i said. the nurse nodded her head and waved her hand back.
i went to my messages and went to my own contact, and texted myself.
hey, can u take me home? i got beat up pretty badly.
and then i got the message that i just sent back. i deleted it and then texted myself again making it look like i was texting jenna. i could've texted her but i knew that she wouldn't respond. she had more important things to do. the fake conversation went like this
i know i saw but idk i just threw up in the bathroom for like 10 minutes straight and i'm not in a good state to drive
omg! okay well i could tell the nurse you threw up and we both could go home
okay just do that cuz i was going to do that anyways.
okay hold up i'll come get u in a sec
i know clever right? i shut my phone off and sat up. i felt extremely dizzy and thought i was going to pass out again but kept going and stood up. instead of walking towards her i just spoke.
"hey ms taylor? my ride just texted me saying that he threw up. can i go get him and just take him home with me?" i asked. she looked at me with a weird expression, knowing i was lying.
"well how do you know he did?" she asked.
" he texted me. here i'll show you." i said. i opened my phone and quickly changed my name to ride :) before showing her all of the "texts"
"okay fine whatever i'll excuse both of you just go home and rest up." i nodded my head and carefully walked out of the bathroom. making sure that i didn't go to fast so i didn't pass out again. once i finally got used to it i went to every girls bathroom, looking for jenna. and finally i came across one that was in the back of the school. the one literally no one uses since it's a hook up spot. i walked in and saw the last stall was closed and i heard a girl crying. i knew it was jenna right away and i knocked on the door.
jennas pov
i heard a light knock on the door and i became dead silent. fuck. someone was going to be checking on me and i would have to talk to someone about my problems. great.
"jenna? jenna, it's me julien."
i looked down at the floor behind the stall and saw his signature high top vans. i smiled and slipped out a little "yea" to let him know it was me.
he walked away for a second before i saw him a second later over the stall wall. he hopped over it and landed on the ground with a loud thump. when he looked up his face was extremely bloodied and beat up. i scrambled to my feet and walked over to him. he looked dizzy and like he could pass out at any second. i ran in front of him and put my hands on his face, as he looked back up at me. he had a black eye and a bloody nose, accompanied by a bruise on his forehead. i rubbed my hand over the bruise and he hissed in pain. i whispered a little sorry before bringing my hand back to his cheek.
"what happened?" i whispered, anxiety running through my veins.
"evan is a complete dick. after you ran out i punched him, but he beat me since he's a fucking tree." he said laughing at the end. he looked back at my face and worry ran through his eyes. he did all of that for me. me. he got beat up terribly and still came to find me. and i did nothing. absolutely nothing.
"are you okay? i'm sorry i didn't come sooner." he said. i stayed silent. that's when i did something a little different
