It was Fate

Mondays are the Worst

I woke up for school the next morning and immediately dreaded the rest of today. Even though they sent Weston, my friends would still want to know what happened. I put my shoes on and ran downstairs to say good morning to my mom.

"Hey honey."

"Good morning mom"

"Your phone is on the table there." She pointed across the room. "Don't forget it. You know I don't like grounding you. Please just call me next time."

"I know mom. I love you"

"I love you too."

I hugged her and ran out the door. Today was going to be a long day. Thank God my car got fixed and I didn't have to take the bus. I can only take so much of my lame excuse for friends. I got in my car and immediately went to check my phone. A few texts from Claire. And a ton from our group chat named "Big Money Bitche$". My heart stopped and at the bottom of my notifications bar I saw a snapchat from Ag. I put my phone down. I couldn't answer this right now. The entire car ride I thought of what it would be like in a perfect world where I was out and knew the right things to say and had supporting friends. Pulling up in the student parking lot of my school snapped me out of it. This isn't a perfect world, it's reality.

At my locker I saw Lydia and she turned to walk over to me but the bell to go to home room rang so I ran. What was I even going to say to them? I had until lunch to figure it out. Time seemed to fly by and only because I dreaded what was coming. Soon enough it was lunch and I was out of time.

"Hey Lex! Almost thought you'd run away from us at lunch too." the group approached me.

They weren't as oblivious as I thought

"No of course not! I wasn't running away!"

"Sureeee. Whatever you say. So Claire told us about yesterday. What's that about? We sent you a knight and shining armor to try and save you from your mom." Lydia smirked.

"Oh... I uh.. I lied to my mom about where I was. I just didn't want her to find out. Claire's lying saved the day it and almost fucking ruined it when she messed up the damn lie about the books"
Claire giggled.

Their obsession with boys was for once something good because it took their eyes off of me. I sat there quietly adding in the occasional "oh yeah" and "I can't believe she said that". I thought that I had gotten through this day but the worst was yet to come. In the last few minutes of lunch I looked up and saw Ag heading straight towards us.
No. Absolutely not. She saw me looking and smiled, clearly unaware of the look of sheer panic on my face. This could not be happening. But it was.

"Hey Alexxa! Thanks for yesterday. I had so much fun!"

What the hell do I do now. I either go along with it and out myself or deny the shit out of it. I couldn't go along with it everyone knew Ag was gay, what would they think of me. Second option it is.

"Umm. What are you talking about?"

"You know the field...and the grocery store..." she said confused.

"I don't know who you are or what you're talking about. You should go" I snarled.
I needed to put up the tough exterior to make this more believable. I felt all kinds of eyes burning into me from all over the cafeteria. Me. A junior talking to this tall ass senior.

"Yeah I think I should" she frowned and turned around to walk back to where she was sitting with her friends Mia and Avery.

She looked so hurt and knowing I had caused that made me feel like shit. I turned to look at my friends.

"Ew Alexxa! What the fuck was that f*ggot doing talking to you?!" Taylor shouted for the entire table to hear. I'm telling you this dumbass needs some help with her volume control.

Excuse me? What did she just say? I knew they were all homophobic but I never thought that it was this bad. Oh my god what am I doing with these people.

"I.. I don't know... Anyways, I have to go to my locker to get a book for Pizzaro's class! See you later!" I wink and blow a kiss to the bitchass people I call friends.
I get up and run off into the corridor near the cafeteria. I pull my phone out of my pocket and quickly text Ag, but not before I notice the unopened message I had from her this morning.

"Hey! Will I be seeing you at school today? We should hang out again! :) 💕"

God. This girl has been the sweetest to me and it shattered my heart to know that I did this to her. I texted her.

"Hey.. look i'm really sorry. Can you meet me in the bathroom on the second floor in 6th period?"
Her bitmoji pops up.
"Why so you can be bitchy again? No thanks."
"No! It's not like that. Please?"
"Fine."

Ok. I have until 6th period to make this right.

What's gonna happen in the bathroom?!

Little side note! The word "f*ggot" was used in this chapter, just know that parts containing those kinds of words will be written by me as Alyssa would never use that word. She didn't feel as it was her place to. And neither of us condone the use of the word unless you can rightfully use it. Thank you! :)
