Afraid

Chapter 29

Lately I had been thinking about Tyde and what he did. It was so wrong of him and I know no normal person would forgive him for what he did, especially so quickly but I would have done it eventually so I did the right thing.

My thoughts were cut short when I saw Alexa run into homeroom.

Why has everyone been late lately?

"Hey," I greeted her. "How come you're late?"

"Hey. My brother hid my car keys," she huffed as she took her seat.

"I didn't know you had a brother."

"Yeah Matt," she smiled.

She's too pretty. I'm seriously nothing compared to her.

"How old is he?" I wondered.

"Thirteen."

"Aw is he cute?" I asked.

"Yeah I guess. He can be a little rat though," she laughed.

"At least that's better than having an older brother," I mumbled.

"You have a brother?"

"Yeah older. His name's Luke," I informed her.

"Does he look like you?" She asked.

"I don't see it, but we always get told we do," I shrugged.

For the rest of the homeroom we just talked about gossip and boys.

First period was PE and I couldn't wait because that was the only lesson of school that I actually enjoyed.

On my way to PE I searched the halls and my eyes travelled to familiar brown eyes. Aiden's. He quickly broke contact.

Okay seriously?

I swear one minute we are laughing and then the next we are avoiding each other. But at that moment it didn't matter because all I could think about was how hot he looked in his plaid shirt.

"Wait...she did what again?" Alexa asked as she took a sip of her orange juice. We were sitting at the lunch table now.

"I walked in on her doing it with a college guy," I said and she gave me a look of disbelief before she suddenly started choking on her juice.

She started choking like a mad woman and after a minute or so she calmed herself down and stopped coughing.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah...I" she said and coughed again.

"I...she...wow" she said in disbelief.

"How does she even know college guys?" She added.

"Because everyone knows everyone, believe me when I say that everyone knows college guys," I told her and my eyes travelled the cafeteria and landed on Natasha sitting with Florence.

"Look at her now," I pointed to Florence and Alexa turned around to see her.

"Now my best friend is sitting with her, what is this world coming to?" I groaned.

I said goodbye to Alexa and told her I would text her later because we gave each other our numbers.

After lunch I walked into last period and then school would be over and I would be free.

"Hey girl," Acacia said as I walked to sit next to her.

Acacia was one of my friends and I felt like we had so much to catch up on because we hadn't spoken in so long.
