Pure Trust

4.

Another two day passed, I didn't go to school after showing the guys around, if you could even call it that. My meds aren't working. I was dealing with my paranoia again, and with my anxiety again. I had called my doctor and she said to try them for 2 more days if nothing works then, they'll give me a stronger dosage or a different pill.

Showing the boys around was alright. I didn't talk to them like Matt and Shawn did. I was so nervous, talking to anyone that I had no clue of just made me shut down. I had a couple of classes with them, but only two out of three of them. One of them I seemed to have most of my classes with. I found out his name was Noah. He was nice, he's now my science partner.

It was lunch and I was sitting at our usual table, waiting for Matt and Shawn. I don't usually get lunch at school, I bring my own. I didn't bring anything today due to not feeling hungry. "Jaden right?" I turn around and see Ana. "Yah?" I have a question. "Is it possible if you can introduce me to Jason?" She asked, I was stunned since Ana was popular and surprisingly nice. "Yah sure, here I'll give you his phone number" I say. I went through my backpack and couldn't find my phone. "Can you wait here? I left my phone in my locker" I said to her. "I'll get it from you later in French class, since your friends are coming, '' she points out. I see Matt and Shawn making their way here. "Sure no problem, I'll give it to you then" I say and she nods. "See you around then" she says and walks away. I thought she would be rude like Jennifer but I guess not.

"Why was Ana William talking to you?" Shawn asked. I shrugged my shoulders, "she wanted Jason's phone number but I didn't have my phone" I say as I steal his pudding. He didn't mind. "Jason is the same dude who asked you out to prom and other things every year. Thy Jason who is quarterback of the school-'' Matt says. I stop him before he continues. "Yes Jason, the quarterback!" I say to him, raising my voice. "Wow" Matt replies as he stuffs his mouth with fries. "Why is he still asking you out?" Shawn asked. "I don't know, he's determined to get a yes from me though. He's nice, but he's been one of my friends since we've been here" I explained. I look down and open my pudding. "What about Mason, didn't you have a crush on him?" Matt asks, soon a growl was heard. I look up confused but see Noah and his friends. "Hello" he says, Matt and Shawn reply hi back as he sits next to me. Soon his other friend named Elijah sits next to Noah. Making me scoot over. Carter sat next to Shawn. He looked into my eyes and I freaked out. I got up suddenly. "I'll be back. I left my phone in my locker" I say grabbing my stuff and pudding. "Okay" Matt replied. I left the cafeteria and went outside. The school doors were unlocked for students if they wanted to get food in town but had to be back before class starts. I went to the football field.

I put my stuff on the bleachers and sat down. Track was practicing right now. I continued to eat my pudding. I stopped and felt my heart stop. The same guys from yesterday, were on the other side of the field. By the bleachers. One of them was looking straight at me. He looked away to get his guy friend's attention. I got up and ran down the bleachers. I ran up the stairs to go into the school. I turn around and see them coming after me. I started to panic. I need Shawn and Matt. I felt like I was about to start hyperventilating, but I couldn't stop panicking. I ran inside and took a right. I bumped into someone almost falling. Looking back before the door closed the guys were getting closer. I didn't look at the person I bumped into, as I just continued to run. I went upstairs to the library. I had a key, since I needed to do student homework for money.

I ran to the very back of the library. I went to a corner where desks were stacked. I pulled the chair and crawled under the desk and hid. I was under a table, since desks were in front and top of it.

I covered my ears and tears started to make their way out. I couldnt breath. I was too scared. I should have gone to Matt. But I didn't want to make a scene in the cafeteria. I was hyperventilating. A door slammed close was heated. No, no, no, they know I'm here. I started to cry more and covered my mouth. My leg pushed against one of the desks causing it to raddle all the desk on top. Matthew, Shawn, anyone please! Help me! I heard their footsteps getting closer. I was filled with so much fear that I couldn't speak. The guys had something off about them, and I don't know why they came after me. Why aren't my drugs kicking in!

I close my eyes, waiting for my doom to arrive. "Jade?" I open my eyes and see Carter, looking under the desks. I don't know why but seeing him made me calm down. "Shawn got worried, tho not my place but about your social anxiety. Since you haven came back they got worried?" He explains. I started to crawl out under the desks. He helped me up. I felt fuzzy again. I let go of his hand. "You bumped into me and just ran off, I came to check on you since- '' I interrupted him by hugging him. "They wouldn't stop," I mumbled through his shirt. "What?" He asked calmly. "Chasing me, they didn't look right t-they have been following me since they a-arrived. I thought it was my imagination until yesterday-" I stuttered. Carter pulled away and looked at me. "What happened yesterday" he asked. "One of them followed me and wouldn't leave me alone if I didn't give out the names of special students of the school" I explained while still crying. I felt like a big baby. "Who's the special students?" He asked as he grabbed my shoulders. "I-I don't know...I dont know" I cried even more. I was scared they had threatened to hurt my family if I didn't tell them. They said if I didn't tell them by the time they see me, they'll take me and watch Matt and Shawn die first. Carter hugged me, I hugged back. He didn't ask for anything else. He just hugged me.

Matthew and Shawn didn't know about the confrontation. The only reason they didn't know about it was after school. I was taking computer programming and French after school. I forgot who exactly but the girls soccer team had a meeting and when 4 of them walked out. I was thankful for them pretending, I was waiting for them. They were able to "scare" the guy away and take me home.
