(y/n's POV)
The school was staring in a day, and I wasn't ready for that yet. To me, it felt like I hadn't ever left school in the first place, and summer had just been one blur of florescent hospital lights, blood, and crying. A shit ton of crying. I mean, it was only a few weeks ago when Liu, Jeff and I were all together for the last time planning for tomorrow, what time we would walk to school, and where we would meet during the day. As if we had a fucking clue.
I walked up and began putting my stuff together for the first day. I felt bad about it, but part of me was afraid to hear what people were going to say about me. Everyone knew I had become friends with the new kids, I mean, this town was super small and with the kids in my grade, rumors spread like fire. I began folding my outfit for tomorrow and placing it on my dresser. I picked out my clothes so particularly, it was almost obvious I was worried about being noticed by someone. I chose shorts, a dark green tank top, and a grey zipper hoodie. I was always someone who liked to get creative with outfits, but I felt like tomorrow was a day that I had to disappear from the world.
I continued to pack my bag as I drowned in my thoughts about Liu. It wasn't right that the first day of school was tomorrow, and we wouldn't be there together. Without Jeff or Liu to hang out with, something would always be missing, it just wouldn't be the same, knowing what I know now. I was startled slightly as my door was opened. My mother stood on the other side of the door with tired eyes. "You should get to bed, it's late and you need to get up early." I got up to shut my door. "Okay, I'll get ready for bed now, alright? Goodnight." As my door closed with a thud, I rested my forehead on the frame. Tomorrow was going to be a long day that I couldn't prepare for.
