- weeks later -
i drove to school while popping a xanax bar in my mouth. billy looked at me like i was crazy.
billy- you're addicted madison.
i laughed and shook my head.
maddie- maybe.
chance- it's not maybe, you fucking are.
everyone has slowly began to forgive me. life is slowly going back on the good trail. half of my friends like me again. anthony and ella still haven't forgiven me. it's hard especially not having anthony as a friend.
maddie- shut up, it's billy's fault.
billy gasped making chance and i laugh.
chance- yooo, i'm skipping first block today. who's coming with?
billy- damn bro, i wish i could but my mom found out about me skipping a bunch of classes so i can't.
chance- pussy boi, how bout you mads?
maddie- i mean... fine.
- on the bleachers -
chance and i were sitting just looking around. this is where people come to skip. you'd think we would get caught but no. nobody gets caught here.
chance- anthony's really bummed about your friendship not working out.
i looked at him.
maddie- really? he's the one who ended it.
chance- it was the best thing for him.
maddie- why?
chance- i can't say, he's kept this from you since he met you.
maddie- he doesn't keep things from me chance. he's just disappointed well... that's a lie. he lied to my face a couple weeks ago and he didn't even say the truth.
chance- i know what he was gonna say.
maddie- when will he tell me?
chance- you should know what it is by now. you're just being oblivious.
i didn't say anything. anthony would never keep a secret from me for this long of a time. what is up with him?
