It has been a few days since Nicole had been acting a bit suspicious. What's more, since that day Jason hasn't been showing up to school either. I tried calling him, but every time I do, he says its "family issues". I'm not smart, any sane person would know that's a lame excuse. He promised to come to school next Monday, and it was currently a Friday, so only two days left before I get to see him again. Plus, there's no school on the weekend so I wouldn't see him. Moreover, if this "family issues" was the truth, I wouldn't want to get involved in it. 

I slowly helped myself off the bed, groaning but also thankful that there wouldn't be school tomorrow. As I made my way to the shower, I couldn't help thinking about my gut feeling, which told me that something bad, I don't know what, was going to happen. I prayed it wouldn't be about the people I cared about, especially Jason.

After getting changed, I walked the door not forgetting to get a biscuit to snack on and casually walked to school. I had gotten used to waking up on my own now, as Jason wouldn't call me during the day anymore. Though he is my boyfriend, for some reason he seems very distant lately, and I don't know why. 

I reached school to see Nicole and her gang sniggering, while giving me distant stares, smirking. I ignored them, determined to not let them ruin my mood for the day and strolled towards the school entrance. I did what I usually do, a trip to my lockers and then to the classroom, sitting on my usual seat between Quinn and Kennedy. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was now Math, the lesson before lunch and we were just a few minutes away from freedom, not totally but you get the point. I groaned, because this was my least favourite subject but managed to sit through all of it without falling asleep. Other than what happened in the morning with Nicole and her gang, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Actually what happened in the morning wouldn't be considered unordinary because it happens almost everyday anyway.

The bell rang and I packed up all my stuff and made my way to the canteen. I took my time, as there was nothing important I needed to do today, so I stopped by my locker first. 

When I approached my locker, I brushed past Nicole who gave me a some sort of glare, which I thought was weird, considering before I was with Jason she would barely notice me.

I shrugged it off, she was probably jealous of my gorgeous boyfriend, am I right?

I walked to the canteen, getting my food first then sitting down opposite Quinn and Kennedy. There was a worried look plastered on their face, which I immediately noticed as I sat down. They gave me anxious glances, alternating between looking down and looking at me. 

"What's wrong?" I asked, them also starting to get worried.

"Erm," they hesitated, "you should know by now right?"

"No," I replied, frowning, "What is it?"

"There's been a rumour going around today..." explained Quinn.

"About?" I questioned.

"It's about your boyfriend." Kennedy stated.

"Jason?"

"Yeah...," said Quinn anxiously, "and ....Nicole..."

I leaned forward in my seat, worried about what I would hear next.

"What is it?" I asked, for the last time, dead serious.

"The rumour is," said Kennedy, gulping, "apparently Jason and Nicole....slept together last night."

My eyes and mouth widen in shock.

"L-like," I stuttered, "t-they did t-the d-dirty?"

"Mhmm..." nodded Quinn, looking as if she was guilty for breaking the news to me.

I closed my eyes, attempting to get rid of the thoughts and pretending this was just another illusion, like how I saw Jason sitting with Nicole that day. Honestly, I don't even know if that was an illusion at all...

"Sorry..." apologised Kennedy, looking at me, seeing I was now paralysed from shock.

How could he do that....Jason....

In all fairness, I shouldn't have got in a relationship so quickly. I started beating myself up for accepting that offer.

Why did I do this to myself...

It's my fault too...

And that was when blackness concealed my vision.
