Euphoria

Liam's POV

The next day

I wake up at the sound of my annoying alarm, I reach across my bed to turn it off, but I end up knocking it down on the floor.

I sigh loudly getting out of my bed and make my way to the bathroom half asleep, I end up stubbing my toe into the wall.

Ugh what else could go wrong this morning, I curse out loudly & get into the shower.

After a quick shower, I find something to wear and head downstairs, to find the kitchen empty, well that's weird. I rumble through the fridge trying to find something to eat.

My phone goes off right when I closed the fridge

" hello darling, I hope you are up, your dad and I had to take Avery to the hospital since she came up with a fever" I hear my mom say calmly through the phone.

" WHAT?? WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP? I COULD HAVE GONE WITH YOU. I AM ON MY WAY TO THE HOSPITAL" I yell through the phone.

" Dear, you do not need to, she is fine. There is an outbreak of the flu in her school so she caught it, but the doctors gave her some antibiotics and she's doing well. Go to school and come see her when school ends okay?" without waiting for me to argue she hanged up.

I shook my head in disbelief, but I decided to go to school since I do not want to get my mom upset.

I get into my car and start driving to school, after about 15 minutes I arrive at school, but I noticed the parking lot looked a bit empty then I checked the time on my phone to realize I came to school 30 minutes before school starts, what am I going to be doing until then ugh.

I thought of sitting in my car until the bell goes off, but I decided it was better to go and wait in the classroom.

I make a stop at my locker first to grab my books, as I start to walk towards the classroom, a kid with a skateboard passes right beside me and nearly knocking me over.

He turns his head around towards me shouting;

" Yo bro, get outta my way"

Was I in his way? is he even supposed to be skateboarding in the hallways?

I shake my head and ignore him, he was more stupid than I thought.

He took his attention away from what he was doing and ended crashing into something, more like someone.

I hear the person groan in pain, " are you okay? Can you watch where you are going next time?" The kid with the skateboard says without any regret.

That stupid kid, he should be apologizing, even a jerk like me knows that, I start walking towards them & snap at the stupid kid. I finally turn my attention towards the person who got knocked into.

I inhale sharply, it's HER, the girl, dear Lord now I am fuming. I could kill this idiot right now,

" Are you okay? Can you stand up?" I ask gently,

" Yeah, could you help me up?" she asks quietly, wow her voice was silvery.

I like it, was I really thinking about that right now? I ask myself.

As I helped her up, I could not help but notice she had several bruises and scars on her arms & neck, who would want to hurt someone so innocent.

I was just about to ask her about the bruises, but I see the fear in her eyes as she realizes her hoodie had come off, she mumbles something that sounds like a thank you and scurries off.

Did I scare her off? I ask no one in particular, I run away after her but only to my disappointment she enters the girl's bathroom. Damn it! I groan in frustration. What do I do? Do I go into the girl's bathroom?.

People start to stare at me weirdly, probably wondering why I was standing outside the girl's bathroom.
