bitch : m.c.

back to school

summer's alarm woke her up at 6 am. she struggled to get out of bed until 6:15.

text to ian: can u pick me up today

ian: sure

summer got up and started running the sink's faucet. she brushed her teeth and hair, grabbing her make up from one of the drawers. summer finished getting ready and packed her bag, walking downstairs. she hugged her dad and texted ian, letting him know she was ready.

"you know you don't have to go to school today.."

"i know... i just don't want to get held back because i didn't attend enough school." she sighed. ian texted her and she waved to her dad before walking outside. ian got out of his car and hugged summer as she walked towards him. ian helped summer get in the car and put her stuff in the back of the car. he drove off as soon as they were both situated. ian parked in his parking spot and summer got out of the car, grabbing her back from ian's trunk. they both walked to class together and sat in their seats. summer put her stuff down and started talking to her teacher outside of the room. as soon as they were done talking, summer went back to her seat and looked at her phone, the few notifications showing up on her screen physically bothering her.

cici: welcome back summer :)

cici: see you soon.

cici: don't worry about matt anymore. i'll make sure no one hurts you again.

summer quickly turned off her phone, looking at ian before opening the messages again and sending them to ian.

text to ian: (attachment) ian.

ian: what the fuck

ian: i

ian: what the fuck

summer put her head in her hands, looking down at the floor. class started a few minutes later.

during lunch, ian and summer ate together. matt was still suspended so he obviously wasn't there with the two. she didn't really care.

"you know matt comes back tomorrow?" ian looked at summer, expecting a more excited response than he got.

"okay? when did i care about him?"

"well, i mean, after he got in a fight for your sake, i thought you might care ?"

summer bit her bottom lip to stop her from saying something rude.

"but, that also means ciaran comes back tomorrow."

summer's heart sunk.

fuck.

"right." summer started bouncing her leg out of nervousness. "hey, i'll see you in fourth, alright?"

"where are you going."

summer looked down at him as she stood up.

"the library."

ian nodded as she walked off. summer made her way to the library and sat on one of the couches. she sat there for a minute, leaning on the arm rest.

text to matt: hey

matt: hey

matt: whats up?

text to matt: you know that one kid you beat u

summer erased the text she was about to send.

text to matt: nothing. i went to the library.

matt: why? isnt it lunch time?

text to matt: yea i just needed to calm down

matt: oh

matt: ttyl?

text to matt: idk

summer heard the bell ring and she left the library, ending up being a minute or two late to her class.

summer decided to walk home that day. she only lived a mile or so from the school so she didn't think it would be too bad. only it was. her phone died halfway home and she realized she lived a lot further than she thought she did. she had noway to contact ian or anyone else. she got home an hour later. summer put her stuff down and went upstairs to charge her phone. she walked back downstairs and grabbed something to eat from the kitchen. summer's dad walked from her parent's room and gave her a neck hug.

"hey, the champions want to have dinner with us tonight."

summer nodded as she took a couple cheez its out of the baggie she had.

text to ian: is matt trying to be friends with me

ian: idk. i dont think so

text to ian: why

ian: he was talking about how u got pissed at him for no reason recently but like i dont think hes lost someone that close to him before.

ian: but thats besides the matter

ian: idk

ian: i feel like he doesnt know what he wants

text to ian: what is THAT supposed to mean

ian: idk

text to ian: well him and his family are coming over for dinner tn.

ian: GL. - ka ttyl.

summer walked up the stairs and went to her room, starting the water for a shower. she started playing a playlist as she got in the shower. as soon as she got out of the shower she plugged her hair dryer in and started looking through her closet. she threw on a red velvet tank-top and high waisted jeans. summer turned on her hair dryer and blow dried her hair. her dad knocked on her door and let her know that their guests were here. she nodded and put on a light layer make up. she applied lipgloss and walked downstairs, greeting matt's parents with a smile. summer's father helped them bring food into the house. everyone sat at the table and carried a conversation but summer stayed quiet, looking at her phone.

summer would occasionally catch matt looking at her but she ignored it for the most part. summer barely ate anything, only because she had no appetite. she leaned her head on the palm of her hand and listened to everyone talk. matt stood up and excused himself, walking upstairs. summer took the chance to excuse herself, following matt upstairs. matt was in the upstairs bathroom but as soon as he walked out he met eyes with summer. he had some sort of look on his face, an unexplainable emotion. a few seconds later he had clashed lips with summer. it took her off guard, causing her to immediately pull away.

"what the fuck are you doing?" summer spoke in a hurried whisper.

"isn't it obvious, summer?" matt had a bit of a smirk on his face.

god.

summer reached for his face, kissing him again. it felt like fireworks on the fourth of july. maybe she didn't hate him after all.
