"Abby?...Abby? Hello?"
I turn head to face a small, cute girl sitting next to me in what seems a cafeteria. What is going on?
"uhm sorry, yes?" I reply to the new girl. I look around and see that I am sitting in my school's cafeteria. Why can't I remember anything of the last few days, last thing I remember is falling asleep on my dog at my old house and I was bleeding. I look around me trying to remember how I got here or how I got home whenever I did which I guess was last night. I'm just trying to remember anything but it's impossible, nothing comes back, it's the total blackout. I turn to look at this brown-haired girl, she is small, has really nice style and seems really nice.
"Yeah Abby seems like you went away for a second, so you were telling me about Jack and last night.." She tells me with a suggestive look. How does she know about Jack, I've never seen her, not that I can't remember. Jack is my boyfriend, he lives in South Carolina, we've met when he came as an exchange student a couple months ago and we weren't that close, actually we were both pretty shy so we didn't talk much, we just hung with the same group of friends so we were able to know a bit each other. A couple days after he got back to South Carolina, we both admitted that we loved each other and since then we've been together and it was the best months of my life. Jack is the absolute dream, he is hot, handsome, cute, caring, loving and you know, basically everything you would look for in a guy. Nothing ever went wrong between us, we're just made for each other, he knows what I want without ever asking and I always know what he wants. I guess I'm just sad that we never kiss.
I look at the girl trying to remember what I could have told her or started to tell her. Still nothing, I can't remember anything, nor how I got home last night and what I did after that, nor how I woke up this morning or how I got to school. "Uhm.. Nevermind, it's not that important." I force a smile on my face, she doesn't need to know. "Have you seen Briana or Kim today?" I ask my new friend I guess. "who?" she asks. "You know, my friends" I explain.
Even though Briana did this to me, she is one of my best friends, one of my only friends actually. I don't make new friends often, I just make friends once and keep them. But honestly, I asked if Briana was here more to know than actually hang with her because what she did to me was absolutely awful but she is often with Kim or Amelia my other friends. From what I remember, those should still be my friends, I don't see any reasons they wouldn't, Briana is just completely gone mad.
"Ahhhh you're funny you know?" the brown-haired girl laughed. I laugh too, I mean, can't let her know I'm super weird and have a huge blackout. I'm just getting worried, did I blackout more than a night? Maybe a day? A week? God I feel sick. " ah ah yeah, I'm not feeling good, I think I'm gonna go home." I tell her, standing up. " yeah, you seem weird. Go sleep or something, call me if you need." She tells me while hugging me. I would love to be her friend, would it be rude to ask her name? She probably told me already like a long time ago. But I need it to look like I know what I am doing at least. " of course I will Veronica." I say, she looks like a Veronica, I think. ".... I am still Jess, Jessica you know, you're friend." She looks at me concerned. Oops, oh god... "AHAHAHAH" I burst laughing. Please, take it as a joke... She laughs. "Nice one Abby" I think to myself.
After telling her a proper goodbye, like a normal person with her friend, I leave school and take one of the buses that go home. I can work with it, she seems like a really good friend. I'm just going to go home now, home should be a safe place, at least I will tell my mom and maybe try to remember something with her help.
