"sweetie, time for school!" mom yelled from downstairs.
my head aches as i woke up. my eyes were very numb bc of crying.
i walked in the bathroom and changed into an oversized grey colored hoodie and some sweatpants. which made me looked emo.
my bloodshot eyes made me more emo-looking.
i squeezed my eyes closed multiple times to make the numb fade away. then i threw my bookbag over my shoulders.
sigh.
i walked downstairs and saw my mom at the table and she hasnt seen me yet.
i quickly pulled the hood over my head.
"see you later mom" i croaked out then dashed to the front door.
i sigh then pushed my hoodie back down. guess im taking the bus today since i have no friends.
i was abt to walk to the bus stop when i suddenly hear a horn from behind me.
i looked behind and i saw blake through the front window.
he presses a button then his window rolls down, "lemme drive you to school"
his caring expression insisted.
i hesitately walk to his car and opened the passenger door and sat beside him with my head still low. he quickly starts driving again.
"hey, um.. im sorry for obsessing and annoy the shit out of you back in middle school" he starts.
"its okay" i said.
"its definitely not okay. i cant believe i dressed up as a unicorn to school bc i wanted to ask you out, back then" he spoke which made me let out a short giggle.
"i cant believe you said 'your skin is so clear, clearer than teacher andy's 10$ watch' something like that, while asking me out" i spoke which made us both laugh but i stopped laughing once i felt sadness surrounding me again.
"whats wrong"
i let out a deep breath, "nothing.." i spoke which came out as a whisper.
"i know girl language, you cute ass. theres no need to lie" he said.
i giggle again then quickly stopped, "firstly, dont call me anything like that, like ever again. secondly, im okay, okay?"
"hm.. okay"
"besides.. if i were or werent okay, its still okay" i mumbled under my breath.

"why is everyone staring at us?" blake ask.
"you dumb kid, literally everyone here knows that you used to have a big fat crush on me back in middle school" i said.
"yea, so?" he mutter which made me shut my locker and roll my eyes at him.
"and dont you think its weird.. like i rejected you twice and youre walking around school with me" i mutter.
"...no?" he spoke which sounded more like a question.
i roll my eyes then loren and aiden came running to me and engulfs me into a hug then we part away from each other.
"WE HAVE TEA" loren said, loudly.
"low your damn voice, lor" i roll my eyes.
she huffs, "why is your eyes so red? have you been crying?" she ask.
"what is he doing here?" aiden ask and glance at blake.
"ive decided to be his friend lol" i mutter. "oh and um.. yea i cried last night"
loren looks at me in awe then aiden opens his mouth.
"jace said he wants you and him to be friends again. he said he'll try to move on" aiden spoke.
i nod, smiling.
"where is jace by the way?" i question.
"at the principal's office" loren replied.
i nod slowly again.
jace then walks in the hall. and all the girls drooled over him. which i found funny for no reason.
he quickly pulls me into his embrace and i accepted his hug.
we both part away, "good to be back" he said.
"good to be back..." i repeat.
"no hugs for me?" blake said, which made us 4 look at him.
"n-no? okay" he pouts.
i giggle then loren spoke, "lets hang at the gym during reccess"
"anything for you, baby" aiden spoke and kissed her cheek.
"wait, yall a public couple now?" i ask.
they nod which made me grin.
"what abt yall? yall free?" loren ask.
"well i wont be tutoring joey anymore so i guess im free" i spoke.
"im free too" jace said.
wait.
i thought he had to tutor joey?
"what abt you?" jace question blake.
"me too?" he spoke. his sentence sounded more like a question.
"yea since joseph wont be joining us" jace replied.
i knit my brows, "how'd you know?"
jace then looked at me, "i thought you knew"
"knew what?" i ask.
he stayed silent. which made me more curious.
"tell me, jace"
"hes not going to this school anymore"
