Only one rumor was true (dixison)

Even mad you're cute

Addison POV

I stroll through school and yawn big. I'm exhausted I couldn't sleep at all last night. My dog kept barking at random things and my brain kept going back to accident whenever I'd try and sleep. I cried a lot last night and that helped me sleep even if it was for a bit. I close my eyes and that's when I bump into someone and they turn around. It was Bryce.
"Oh hi Addison" he says and I rub my eye.
"Hi Bruce I didn't mean to bump into you" he smiled at me.

"It's alright you look tired?" He ask and I nod my head.
"I didn't sleep very well last night"
"If you want my mom makes this type of tea that will make you fall asleep almost immediately" I smile at him.
"I may take you up on that offer" the bell rings and I groan.
"I'll see you at lunch" he says.
"Bye see you" he waves at me and I walk up into English.

Dixie was already seated in her desk and she looks up at me. Her eyes were cold, so cold it made me shiver. She held her head down as I walked past her. I take a seat and of course Avani came a few minutes late. As the teacher was explaining Avani leaned over to me.
"Hey"
"Hi" I say back in a whisper.
"There's a party on this Saturday are you up for it?" I sigh. A party would get my mind off things.

"Sure" Avani smiles and we both focus our attention back on the teacher.

Next lesson was Maths and I was kinda happy cause that meant Dixie would be next to me. I don't know why I feel happy about that, maybe I just want to be her friend. I walk into maths and Dixie came in a second after me. We both took our seats and she didn't say anything to me. She took her books out and opened her sketch book. She closes her body off and I frowned.

I look at Ms.Morgan as she began the lesson. I side eyed Dixie and saw she was looking at her phone on the break of tears. Before I knew it Dixie stood up throwing her chair back and walking out of the room. Ms.Morgan went quiet for a moment before sighing.
"Someone please go after her" Ms.Morgan said and I got up and hurried out the room. I saw Dixie at the end of the hallway going into the bathroom. I sprinted across the hallway and opened the bathroom door.

Dixie was hunched over the bathroom sink with her head down.
"Dixie are you okay?" I ask and she looks at me through the mirror with the same cold eyes as before. It was intimidating.
"Get out" she says and I swallow hard.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay" I say and she slams her hand against the sink. I get a huge fright and jump a little.
"And I didn't ask you to do that" she spins around and looks at me.

I just bite my bottom lip and stare at her.
"Just go away Addison" she says and I sigh.
"I'm sorry that I actually gave a shit to ask you if you were okay" I say pissed at her and she softens just a little.
"Addison I'm-"
"Save it" I say and walk out the bathroom. Avani and them were right. I should stay away from her.

It has three days since the bathroom incident with Dixie and I have stayed my distance away from her. I was in maths sadly leaning against my hand. I tried my best to stay awake but it was just so boring. I felt a light tap on my arm and I looked to my right but Dixie didn't look at me. I frowned and looked down at my desk. There was a piece of paper that had been folded.

I knew it was from her and as much as I wanted to scrunch it up and throw it at her my curiosity got the better of me. I unfolded the paper and saw a cartoonish slash realistic version of me like a couple seconds go. The bottom of the paper said I'm sorry. I looked at Dixie and she was already looking at me. She put her finger on her cheek and moved it down like a fake tear and I chuckled softly.

She gives me a warm smile that made my insides go to mush. I mouth 'I forgive you' and her smiles grows even more if that even possible. I look back at Ms.Morgan but not before tucking the drawing away in a folder. The bell finally ran and I got up putting my things in my bag and tossing it over my back.
"I really am sorry Addison, I didn't mean to blow up at you" Dixie said catching my attention again.

"It's okay Dixie" I say and she licks her lips.
"Can we at least be friends?" She asks and I bite my bottom lip.
"Fine" I smile and she smiles back.
"Well I should be heading to lunch" Dixie says walking away but I run to catch up to her.
"Don't you want to come and sit with me?" I ask with puppy eyes and she sighs.
"I wish I could Addison but I've got to go do something" I frown. Okay somethings up.

"Okay" I say and she smiles.
"Bye Addison" she touches my arm softly and I shiver at her touch. She pulls away and walks off down the hallway and disappears around the corner. That wasn't suspicious at all. I just shrug my shoulders and head to lunch.

I take a seat in between Bryce and Avani.
"So Addison are you coming to the party tomorrow?" He asks and I nod my head.
"Yep" he plays with his hands and looks at me.
"I can't wait to hang out with you tomorrow" he says and I smile at him.
"Yeah me too"
"Oh fuck off!" I hear Dixie shout from across the room. Just as I feared the worse I saw Dixie laughing with that guy from before. The one with the stupid glasses.

He touched her arm and starts laughing with her. I don't know something inside me wanted to rush up up to Dixie and grab her and tell that guy to back off. But that would be weird. Why do I feel like this?
"You okay?" Bryces asks and I nod my head.
"Yep" I say annoyed and continue to eat my food.

"Mom I'm home!" I shout putting my keys down by the door.
"Hi darling!" My mom says from the kitchen. I head towards her to see what she was cooking.
"How was your day?" I shrug my shoulders.
"Alright" my mom wipes her hands and looks at me.
"Are you doing okay?" I nod my head and look down.
"Yeah mom I'm fine, I've just got homework to do" I grab a bottle of water and head upstairs.

I go into my room and close the door. I take a seat by my desk and take my books out when I see Dixie's drawing. I pick it up and stare at it smiling. I turn it over and see that there was writing at the back.

Even mad you're cute.

I blush hard at the comment and smile. Okay so maybe Dixie has issues but so do I. Maybe we will be good friends and maybe just maybe I'll open up to her and maybe she will do the same. I quickly do my homework and hop on my bed. I stare at my phone and decide to search up Dixie's name on Instagram. Her profile came up and it was private. I bite my bottom lip and slowly hit the follow request. I lock my phone and get up.

I take a quick shower and walk out of my bathroom with a towel wrapped around me and my hair dripping wet. My phone pings and I walk towards my bed and look at the screen.
