-------------------

I woke up in my bed and my mind was groggy. What had even happened last night?

Oh, yeah. I refused to kiss Eli. I felt my head starting to ache and realized it would be hurting all day. I didn't fall asleep until three am last night. Maybe I could stay home. Or, better yet, I could walk to the school to see Eli. I stood up, excited at the thought of seeing him. I started getting ready, and it didn't dawn on me until after I had looked out the window, that the elementary school would be packed with kids. Where would Eli be?

 I sat down and stared at the ceiling. What now?

I guess school would get my mind off of things. I should probably go, then. I sighed and stood up. This was going to be a long day.

I went through the motions of getting ready, in zombie mode. Brush hair, brush teeth, change into clothes, put homework in backpack. I finished everything with ten minutes to spare and sat down. I let my mind wander. I don't get much time to just think.

Was I still mad at Light? She had been obnoxious and self-centered. But that's who she was. Could I really change that? No, I couldn't. And what about Josh? He was less than nothing to me now, but could I tell Light? Should I? I didn't owe anything to her. I had already defended her. But if someone was trying to cheat on me... my mind flashed back to Light telling me that Josh had kissed her, after kissing me. I felt the hurt again, and the embarrasment. I felt my blood starting to boil as the memory came back. I was angry. Light deserves to feel just as bad as I had. She's always causing drama and this time the drama's come back and cheated on her. It's her own damn fault.

I took a deep breath, the anger quickly changing into guilt. Light was one of my closest friends, even if she didn't realize how much her and Josh being together bothered me, no one deserved to experience the betrayal of someone they trust that much.

But she'd find out eventually and when she does, she'll be angry at me for not telling her. And I'd bet any money Josh wouldn't tell her the truth about what happened. My stomach started to sink. There was no happy ending out of this. I just wanted to crawl into a ball and fall asleep forever. I wouldn't have to think anymore.

I looked at my watch, but I still had five minutes to spare. I guess I could start walking anyways. I walked passed the kitchen and headed outside. My stomach growled and my first thought was to ignore it. Then I remembered my promise to myself. No more. I turned around and re-entered the house.

I walked back into the kitchen and looked around. Something healthy and quick... I saw a bunch of apples and took one. It would do. I bit into it and immediately felt more awake. Maybe food really was that important.

I started walking, and finished my apple on the way. I eventually reached the end of my road, where James what standing, waiting for the bus.

"Hello."

 "Hey."

"How are you?"

"Tired." I sighed.

"You should sleep more."

I would have glared at him, but he didn't realize he was being stupid. "Thanks, James."

"No problem."

"How are you doing?"

"I'm good."

I could see the bus in the distance.  "It's cold out."
