The week went by in a blur. It was almost programmable: school, riding, eat, sleep, repeat. Soon enough, it was Friday night, exactly a week since the incident. I was holed up in my room. I planned to get my homework out of the way so I could enjoy the weekend. Things this week were...odd. Ashley was kind of being nice to me? When did that happen? Ethan has finally started to leave me alone. And then there's Conner. Things are the same, I guess. But I can't shake the feeling that there's something different. Maybe it's the way he looks at me now.
The fact that he's seen me ride probably made me more of a threat. That was my best guess. I heard the front door to our dorm get unlocked, and then someone walked inside. I guessed it was Maddie.
I needed to talk to her, I decided that earlier. Maybe she would listen to me, now that she's had some time. The sooner she believes me, the sooner she can convince Zoe of the same.
I left my room and was greeted with two blank pairs of eyes on me. Not one. Two. Maddie had brought Zoe along.
I braced myself for the usual glares that came my way, but all I was met with was silence. It was almost scarier than the former.
"Sorry to intrude.." I bailed out, starting to dart back to my room.
"Wait," Zoe commanded in a stern tone, almost threatening. I stopped in my tracks, a million thoughts swirling around in my head. "We need to talk."
I took a breath. I hated being the instigator of these kinds of things. Not that I had ever really been in a situation quite like this.
"We're ready to hear the full story." Maddie told me. I shook my head.
"This is ridiculous." I said. "All that happened was that I went outside, Ethan kissed me, I pushed him away, and then nothing has been the same since." I felt the back of my throat start to burn as I swallowed.
"I just..." Zoe quieted down, and then she sniffled. "I just.." And then she leaped forward and hugged me.
Tentatively, I put my arms around her. When I realized she wasn't going to draw back and chew me out, I dissolved into the hug.
