Quinn's Pov

I was dreading for the next day I didn't want to go to school.

That's just what I did, and I faked being sick. I'm not gonna lie it was easy too.

Oops.

I know that's it's not good avoiding problems, but I just needed a day to think.

My phone started to ring. I answered it since it was Veronica. When I did I was instantly yelled at. Telling me how wrong I was for skipping school. She was the one to talk, but I couldn't be there. I would be embarrassed, I've never down something like this.

The line clicked and it was silent. Why is she making such a big deal over this? I don't understand why she could be mad at me.

I didn't do anything wrong did I, or at least towards her right?

I needed to take my mind off all this junk. I got in my car and drove to the mall. I went shopping in various stores to kill time.

One thing is for sure I did forget about everything. I went to the food court and got some food.

I ate then left. I put all my bags in my trunk and got in my car. I looked at the clock in my car. School wasn't out yet. I decided to do something.

I began to drive and I drove to where it all went down. The little park on that hill. When I got there I sat in my car and looked at my surroundings.

I could obviously remember everything so clearly because it was only yesterday. A small rage began to build in me.

At the same time I kept thinking in my head.

Why? How did I let this all happen?

Then again it wasn't entirely my fault. It was Shawn's fault. If he hadn't said anything I would have been fine.

Then there's Derek, and he is just the worst.

After thinking about everything I drove home. I took my belongings from the trunk and put them all away. I laid on the couch and put on tv.

I heard the front door open and it was my aunt.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey, what are doing home early?" I asked.

"I got let off early they didn't need me." She said. "How do you feel?"

"Good better than this morning."

"Oh you probably could have gone to school you know."

"Uh maybe."

"What did you do today." She asked.

"Not much to do since I'm sick and all. I basically watched tv all day." I lied.

"That'll rot your brain." She hummed.

She then walked upstairs to her room.

I got up and went to the door I needed to take a walk, and get some air.

I exited the house and just walked to wherever I ended up at.

I saw a group of kids up ahead, and looked at the time on my phone.

Crap they got out already.

I looked at them, and I saw Shawn. He must have saw me because he was looking right at me.

I quickly turned around and walked straight to my house. Like I said before I don't want to see Shawn or be near him.

___________________________

I woke up feeling super nervous for some reason.

Probably because I can't call "sick" anymore.

I got up an did my usual morning routine and left for school.

I didn't even want to get in my car I was so scared. I did anyways and I got there fast.

The first thing I did was go to my 8th period class. Mr.Brenner's class and I had to talk to him.

"Um sir?" I say.

"Oh hey. Let me guess uh. Hint?" He said.

"Q"

"Quinn? Quincy?"

"Uh Quinn yea, but I was wondering if I could be moved. You.. You see that sitting next to Shawn isn't that good of a thing for me." I stuttered

He looked confused, "You've only sat next to him for a couple days. Nonsense."

I sighed,"From past experience we don't get along, and I don't like him. It's just not good for us to be by each other anymore. So could I get moved, please?"

"Ugh hold on let me see where there are open spots. What class are you again."

"8th" I answered.

"Uh okay you can sit here if you want. Good?" He asked pointing to a desk.

"Yea thank you." I exited the class room.

The bell rang so I went to my first period. Before you know it, lunch was here. I dragged myself to my table I sat down and Veronica shot me a dirty look. Good thing I was siting across from her.

I leaned over to Victoria, "Is she mad at me?"

She whispered, "Just a little. C'mon I'll explain."

I followed her into the bathroom.

She looked at me,"She is mad or you could say jealous. "

"What? why?"

"Well she likes Shawn. She never told you this but they used to go out. Like they dated. At first she was fine with everything that was happening. You know that kiss, and how you felt. That's why she so openly help you with you makeover, but once she let that sink in. She started to get Shawn fever again. So She may kinda like him again, and she is mad at you for getting Shawn's attention. And that you slapped him. She says that if she was you she should have let it go and not done that." Victoria said.

"What are guys doing in here?"

I looked and saw an angry Veronica.

"C'mon Victoria you don't her."

I think my heart just broke and shattered everywhere. How could she let a boy get in the way of us, and it's Shawn. I don't EVEN like Shawn!

I wanted to run out of the school, and ditch. Instead I went back to my classes.

Throughout the whole day I could hear people whisper about me. Shawn must have told everyone, great thanks.

I walked over to my new desk. The desks were on two different sides of the classroom. They were split up, and I was on the other side. Shawn could still easily see me, but beats sitting next to him.

The whole class period I could feel his eyes burning on me. I wanted to just tell him to stop staring at me. When the bell rang I finally looked at him, and he was making his way to me. That's when I began to walk much faster.

I got my car and heard him tap on my window,"Can we talk at least?"

I rolled my window down,"Theres nothing to talk about. Your ruining my life. Veronica basically hates me and I can't stop thinking about you. I can't concentrate and think right. You're too much ok? Leave me alone."

With that I rolled the window down and drove away. I could care less what he could think I need to get rid of him.
