Never doing that again

Autumn's pov

It has been two days since the incident and now it's Monday, meaning I have to go back to school and either try face everyone, or avoid everyone. Knowing me, I always choose the latter option.

I wasnt ready to see Caleb again, or Billie. But i had no choice.

Caleb wasnt in any of my Monday classes but I spotted him a few times down the halls. He looked me dead in the eyes and I couldn't help but feel like he looked finally broken and defeated inside. I chose to ignore it however and happily went about my day, avoiding as many people as I could.

"Autumn! Hey sorry I just needed to know if i could copy your chemistry homework, i forgot to do it", one of my other friends, Amy, asked.

"Yeah sure", I said taking my back pack off my back and rummaging through it to find my chemistry work. Once I gave it to her I waved her off and I made my way to my next class.

However I stopped in my tracks when I spotted the blue eyed angel down the hall, talking to some other students. My heart began racing and I turned on my heels, ready to take the long way around to my next class.

Billie's pov

As soon as i spotted her down the hall i wanted to go talk to her and say hi since we hadn't talked in a few days about everything that had happened. She had other plans though and practically ran the other direction as soon as she saw me, which seemed pretty strange.

Did I do something to upset her?

She was probably still fucked up from the incident, so I decided not to chase after her and give her some space.

*few days later*

Autumn's pov

It has been so hard avoiding her.

I always see her down the halls but chicken out and run away from her because I just can't face her. I cant let out my true feelings only to be heart broken because I fell stupidly in love with the straight girl.

I'm starting to feel like I'm upsetting her because she doesn't really pay attention to me anymore. Well, that is my fault after all.

I was sitting in my Spanish class when I got a nudge on my shoulder. I turned to face whoever touched me and was met with the handsome smirking face of my childhood friend, Damien. He began leaning in and I moved away, uncomfortable with our proximity.

"Would you relax, I need to ask you something", he whispered, "apparently that girl Billie is dating someone, do you know anything about it? I thought I could ask her out but I heard she's taken"

My face instantly fell. She was with someone?

"I dunno", I replied calmly, "but ask around maybe someone else will know"

"Alright", he said while giving me a smile and turning back to his work.

I cant believe I didn't know about this. I mean, we haven't really been talking, but surely Rose should have known about this or something since she somehow knows everything about anything that happens at school. I really need to stop being chicken shit and finally talk to Billie.

As I entered the cafeteria, I quickly grabbed some lunch and scanned the room for Rose but was disappointed when she was sitting directly opposite Billie.

I walked over to the table where they were sitting and Rose gave me a concerned look as soon as she noticed my nervous state. However I made sure to put on a fake smile so Billie didnt think anything weird was going on.
