Hello, August.

Ch.4

He walked back over and pulled out his instrument of choice.

My jaw unintentionally slacked and I stared wide eyes at him.

Because there in front of me was a triangle dangling in his grip.

Fml.

He smirked and hit the triangle sending sound waves to my ears.

That smart bastard.

"Name. Now." He walked towards me and I flinched.

"Fayth! It's Fayth." I put my hands in front of me and closed my eyes.

"Fayth...?" He seemed interested so I continued.

"F-Fayth, uhm, Winter." I opened my eyes to see him smiling. And boy was it nice.

"I'm.." He began but I cut him off quickly not wanting to here 'oh I'm the best person on the planet and if any girls saw you with me in here it would be the center of gossip for weeks' story.

"I know who you are." I said sharply. He only raised his eye brows.

"You are new." He said with confidence and strode out of the room.

I was but how had he not seen me? i was even at the party with the dimmwad.

By the time I got back to the home I was exhausted and my limbs hurt. I quickly made my way to my room only to find all the hot water was used.

I took any icy shower and put my only pjs on. They held warmth and that was all I cared about. I lay in bed trying to understand August. He made no sense. Why, did I say that I knew him?

••••••€

The next few days I did my best to avoid August at all cost. I didn't know what he meant and frankly, I didn't want to either.

The final bell rang and the halls filled with students I made my way to Tara's locker which happened to be close to mine.

"Ah, Tara. Good to see you my friend." I smiled brightly at her. I hadn't seen her since the party and I didn't know how she would react.

"We need to talk." She put on her serious face and I nodded, knowing this would be about the picture on my phone.

"First off, who is that guy on your wallpaper. And I want you to tell me everything.." She started. I realized where this was going and I cast my eyes down ward. It was all to fresh. The looks people threw at me the day after the accident, the words people said.

"Fayth are you even listening?" The hit me softly on the side and I jolted. She was surprised as was I.

"What the hell is happening with you?" She spat and I winced at her words.

I took a deep breath and looked her straight in the eye.

"I really wish I could tell you, Tara, I do. But I can't.. It just hurts to much.." Tears pricked the back of my eyes so I quickly looked at the ground.

"Well fine. Don't tell me." She hissed, slamming her locker she strutted out of the hall.

"Please tell me she's not pissed off?"I prayed even though I knew the answer. I looked over to my right to see August staring intently at me with a scowl.

Well damn.

I walked past him to the music room. Again to sit I front of the piano and not touch it.
