when we got home i dragged him into my room to take a closer look at his eye. it looked really bad.

"what do you think mom's gonna do?" i asked him but we both knew the answer.

"she's probably gonna track that kid down and rip him to pieces" he answered with a laugh. i stood in front of him staring into his eyes. "what? why are you staring at me?"

"nothing. i'm just glad your okay" i replied, pulling him into a hug. then my stomach decided to ruin the moment and growl. i was starving. i didn't eat anything for lunch because i forgot to pack food and i wasn't about to eat that slop they give you at school.

thursday

for the past two days, corbyn and the other two wouldn't leave me alone. well actually, it was mostly corbyn and jonah, the blue eyed one stayed silent most of the time. but eventually i just gave in because i got tired of always running away from them. they'd always find me anyway.

"hey princess" Jonah giggled as they walked up to me this morning. he had a nickname for me and i hated it. they disgusted me. they kept teasing me with things and then out of nowhere corbyn brought up my brother.

"stop talking about zach like that" i told him sternly. god he was so annoying! i just wanted to punch his head off.

"why what are YOU gonna do about it?" he replied taking a few steps closer to me until he was right up at my chest. instead of answering, i turned around and started walking to class. thank god i had P.E first period, at least i didn't have to talk to those psychos.

12:20

i was in the girls changing room getting dressed and grabbing my stuff. i checked my phone. corbyn texted me. i didn't even know he had my number. i read:

hey. can we talk? it's corbyn

umm sure
read 12:22

when i walked outside the gym he was already waiting for me.

"i'm sorry about what i said this morning.." i looked up at him with a confused look. "about your brother.." he quickly explained. i went back to looking at the ground as we were walking. i didn't respond. jonah and daniel joined him and eventually i drifted off my own way, heading to the library. again.

3:45

i stepped though our front door taking my shoes off and throwing them to the side. no one was home. zach probably had soccer practice again and on those days, mom would pick him up. i walked up to my room and began doing some homework.

4:09

my phone buzzed. i thought maybe it would be mom telling me to go pick my brother up again but when i checked my phone, it was corbyn. what did he want again?

corbyn
ur cute

wtf. i was not mentally prepared for that. i knew that corbyn has dated many girls at our school and i was not about to get dragged into that. the most they would last was a month or two. he just wanted the hookup and then he'd leave the girl. that's another reason why i hated him.

violet
uh wtf what??

corbyn
what?

you just texted me "ur cute"

oh yeah sorry jonah took my phone

don't text me again

violet changed corbyn to "psycho"
