Loving You Again (GirlXGirl) (On Hold)

Book 1 - Chapter 5

Book 1 - Chapter 5

I walk out of the classroom a few minutes early after handing my teacher my exam. I finished early but I'm still feeling a little uneasy. I definitely passed but I don't think I did as well as I could have if I hadn't gotten into it with my dad last night. I didn't get much sleep and I woke up in pain. I also had to wake up early to make sure I had enough time to put my makeup on and cover the bruise on my face. Thankfully the swelling had gone down and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

My wrist, however, still hurts quite a bit. I can move it a tiny bit more than I could last night but not without a lot of pain. I definitely don't think it's broken but it's possible there could be a small fracture. I really hope there isn't. If I just keep it wrapped and ice it for the next day or so it should hopefully start feeling better soon.

I really wanted to take more pot gummies this morning to help with the pain but I couldn't because I had to drive to school and then take my test. I guess I should be thankful that my dad grabbed my left arm instead of my right or I really would have been screwed.

"Hey, Hayley," I hear Skylar yell after me as I walk down the hall. "How do you think you did?" she asks as she catches up to me.

"Fine," I deadpan.

"Just fine?" she questions. "Based on all the studying we did and how much you were killing it last night I would think you crushed it," she says with a small laugh and I roll my eyes.

"Leave me alone, Skylar," I say exhaustedly.

"Geez, what's wrong with you?" she asks as she turns her head to look at me. "And where are we going?" she asks as she finally notices we are heading towards the school doors. "Don't you have a class next period?"

"Nothing is wrong with me and it's none of your business where I'm going," I say as I push through the doors.

"Hey," she says as she moves in front of me and keeps me from walking any further. "Seriously, what's up? Are you anxious about how you did on the test?" she asks curiously and I roll my eyes.

"No, I'm not anxious about how I did on the test," I say and she looks at me with a raised brow.

"Then what's wrong?" she asks and I groan.

"You, you're what's wrong. Just leave me alone and mind your own business," I say as I try to move past her but she blocks the path.

"Is this about last night? Because I wouldn't let you spend the night so we could study together in the morning?" she asks and I roll my eyes.

"No, this is about you annoying me. I asked for you to leave me the fuck alone," I say and she frowns.

"I thought now that we were done with tutoring, we were going to try and be friends? If something is up with you, you can tell me," she says sincerely and I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"I don't want to be your friend. I said what I did last night so you would keep tutoring me and that's it. Why are you so fucking desperate to be my friend?" I ask with a raised brow and she laughs in disbelief.

"You know what? Never mind. I really don't want to be your friend. I was just trying because Tanya kept saying that she wished you had more friends and I felt kind of bad. I think Tanya is cool and I thought that meant maybe you were too so I decided to give you a chance. I guess I was wrong to do that. It seems I was right about you from the start. You really do only care about yourself," she says with a small breathy laugh before just pushing past me and heading back towards the school.

I turn around and frown as I watch her walk back into the school. She is right about me. I only do care about myself. She seems like a decent person, but I really didn't want to be her friend. All I wanted was for her to tutor me and that was it. I don't need any more friends and even if I did, she wouldn't want me as one anyways. There's nothing that she could get out of being friends with me.
