After class and me crying like a little baby I was walking in the hallway late to class as usual😭🙄. When I get snatched into the janitors closet the person turns on the light and I see that it's stokeley " what the hell are you doing" I whisper-yell "why are you avoiding me and why were you crying earlier" he asks "well first of all I wasn't even avoiding you, you were avoiding me and second, that's absolutely none of your business." "Watch your mouth" he says "make me" i clap back. All of a sudden he pushes me up again a wall and then I feel a tight grip on my neck " I know you were crying because of my new girlfriend and that's nobody's fault but your own I tried with you I hinted to you I had feelings and all you did was ignore them so when you see me happy and you cry I barely even feel any remorse" he says. I look down teary-eyed and move him out of the way but before I walk out of the closet I say " I only ignored them because I knew you would've done the same." And with that I walked off and went home.

At home.
I'm in my room sad of course stokeley's words really hurt but.. hey at least he's happy.
Suddenly I hear yelling and I know it's my brothers friends.. more importantly stokeley. I hear jahseh call me downstairs, I go down and he says "go with stokeley to the store and take my card with you" I try to tell him I don't want to go but he makes me anyway. The car ride is completely silent until I hear stokeley say " it's not that i don't care it's that pretending like I don't care makes the pain go away" I don't answer and just continue to look at the window  he pulls over the car on the side of the road stops the car and looks at me. I just keep looking out of the window. He grabs my face making me face him and says " I know you heard me don't ignore Me" he says In all seriousness "mmmk" i say not really wanting to hear it since I was still mad about what he told me earlier   " stop playing with me hailey I know you're hurt and I'm sorry I didn't mean anything I sai- I cut him off " stokeley I. Don't. Care. " " yes you do" "whatever" i say and he says " I want a relationship" "you already have one" I say " not with her" " Casper?" I say sarcastically " stop you know exactly who I am talking about" " oh cool that's tough because last time I recall you getting into a relationship not really caring about what I thought or anything so... save it" I tell him " look it's whatever if you don't want to listen and hear me out I'm not gonna keep trying we should get back before jahseh says somethings up" "this conversation went nowhere.. look can we meet up at the park in my neighborhood at 10? We need to talk seriously" I say " yeah I know. " and with that we go to the store and theres a comforting silence between us.
