serina

the next day

I DIDN'T BOTHER meeting emma and grayson after i went to ethan's. neither did i answer the countless texts and calls i had received from them.

but to my dismay none of them were from ethan. i understood where he was coming from, he just needed space.

that morning i got to school on time, surprisingly and headed to my locker.

there weren't that many people in the halls, more would be expected to come in the next ten minutes before the first bell rang.

i throw my things inside my locker when i hear yelling from not too far from me.

confused, my curiosity got the best of me and i hide behind my locker slightly, and looked towards the source of the yelling.

the voices got closer seemed more familiar than ever.

i peaked over the locker to see ethan and hailey and listened in hoping they wouldn't notice me.

"i don't wanna talk about it here here hailey." i hear ethan groan out.

"no we're talking about it now when you chose to break up with me over text you dick." hailey yells back.

by now there were a few people watching everything unfold from afar.

"im the dick? you cheated on me hailey." ethan says with a clenched jaw.

"and who told you that hm?" she crosses her arms.

"no one important." ethan says.

ouch. that definitely hurt.

"it was serina, wasn't it? i swear to god when i find her-

"you aren't going to do shit, we're over hailey, don't you dare talk to me again." ethan whispers angrily but loud enough to be heard.

he storms off in my direction as i duck, not subtly might i add since he noticed.

he didn't glance at me, but just scoffed walking away not uttering a word.

with a sigh i close my locker as the bell rings, seeing hailey walk away as well.

i walked into first period, the class i had with only grayson and ethan.

walking in i scanned the room spotting ethan and grayson sitting together.

i walked across the classroom and sat on the desk in front of theirs.

"hey guys!" i say turning around.

ethan didn't flinch but remained focused on his phone, while grayson gave me a sympathetic look with a small smile and hi like he always did.

sighing i bit my lip turning back around to listen to the teacher.

without having ethan constantly annoy me and goof around i felt empty throughout the whole class with nothing to do.
