"hey bestfrienddd" loren says as she runs to me. i closed my locker and smiled.

"hows your weekend?" she ask. i just replied her with "okay"

"i have a question" she says.

"what?"

"i mean.. i actually have 2 questions" she giggled.

"what is it" i ask.

"wanna go party again??" she question. "nope, i quit partying a year ago! and you know how shitty of a dancer i am"

she pouts, "but you went partying with me 2 times already. admit it, you miss partying"

"as much as i just wanna say no, loren, i do miss the old-yolo me but- you know why i quit, i dont wanna be addicted to parties again. i wanna make my momma proud and go to college or atleast get a job" i spoke.

"but that doesnt mean you have to lock yourself up like youre in a cage, hails. i know youre breaking inside. i know youve been through so much but you gotta live life too" she spoke with a pout.

i flashed her a half smile, "ill... think abt it"

i then gave her a silent treatment until she finally spoke.

"oh and my other question" she says.

"what"

"how long have you been tutoring joey?" she ask.

the hallway then got less noisier. most of them were looking at us, whispering and death glaring.

loren must have noticed how uncomfortable i was.

she looked around us and yelled, "look or eavesdrop us again, ill fucking stab your eyeballs and rip your ears"

everyone turned around and just talked normally.

"so?" she ask.

"since uh, about a week ago, i guess?" i replied.

i wasnt scared of loren like the others were. everyone thinks shes this control freak and a huge bitch, but really, if you get to know her better, shes a cute and soft baby angel.

ugh. why is it so akward?

joey kept on playing his phone and nodding, as if he understands.

i eyerolled and just continued tutoring him.

"heyy dudee" aiden says as he walks up to us. aiden is like one of joey's close friends and also mine. but that doesnt make me close to joey too lol.

"heyy" loren says as she approach us. she puts a hand on aiden's shoulder and looked at the messy papers on the table.

"hey" i replied.

"youre throwing a party this saturday, right?" aiden asks joey.

joey stayed quiet.

"yuh" he replied.

"lit, so ill see you by 10?" aiden ask.

joey nodded.

"can i come" loren ask.

joey didnt reply.

"everyones invited" aiden says.

woah, seems like they planned this together.

"so um, see you two later" aiden says. he then fist bumped joey and left with loren.

i went on my phone after i tutored joey.

"you arent invited" joey spoke.

"aiden said everyone was invited-" i replied without no hesitation.

"yea everyone except you" he spoke.

"why?" i ask.

he didnt reply.

i just stood up and storm out from the library.

i looked over her shoulder and saw her texts with some girl named loren.

for some reason, i felt mad.

"you arent invited" i say.

she looked at me with a sad expression on her face, "aiden said everyone is invited-"

i cut her off, "yea everyone except you"

"why?" she ask with softness in her voice. fuck- that always makes me feel soft..

i didnt reply.

she then stood up after cleaning the table and storm out from the library.

she must think i hate her. i mean..

'why the fuck should i care?' a part of me spoke inside my head.

i dont know. for some reason, i do.
