Early February. The Darks haven't spoken to me in a month now. We're sort of equally popular, and Grace and her gang have backed down. But they're backing the Darks up. I feel like this entire school year has just been us drunk while playing Clue, Life, and D&D all at the same time.
On Friday, the unthinkable happens. We have a new kid. And not just any new kid, Jason. Jason was my bully and toxic friend at five of my middle schools. He moved quite a lot too, but the fact it was five of the same places makes me think he's somehow stalking me. Which doesn't help my anxiety.
I really hope he doesn't recognize me, but of course, he does. He approaches me after school in the hallway. Everything about this screams 'danger' but of course I don't run.
"Long time no see," Jason says.
"Yeah," I say, "And I want to keep it that way, so goodbye,"
He grabs my shoulder and yanks me back.
"I don't think so. And what did I ever do to you?" He asks.
"Well, for starters you are extremely toxic and made my life hell, secondly you drove me down a very dark path in which-"
"Oh, look, Virgil's going to whine, whine, whine all night-" He mock-sings.
"Shut it," I say.
"Make me," Jason smirks, "You don't deserve to~"
"He won't, but we will," Roman says, walking up from behind me.
I spin around the see the trio come to rescue me.
"So, what did you do the Virgil?" Roman asks.
Jason just smirks again.
"Is that the name you go by now? What happened to Sanders, or Storm, or-"
"Shut up. Those were nicknames you gave me," I say.
"I seem to remember different," Jason says.
"Shut up!" I say.
"Trying to hide something, are we? I guess you really do want friends, because I know they'd leave you the second you told them," He says.
I glance at the Lights.
"This is not what it sounds like," I say.
"It's exactly what it sounds like," Jason says.
"We don't care," Roman says, "Virgil's our friend, no matter what,"
Despite that, I can see the unsureness and curiosity in their eyes. They want to know, but I don't want them to. But I definitely don't want them to hear it from Jason.
"Not after this, he won't be. What's the matter, Virgie, too scared to tell your friends?" Jason asks, turning back to me.
"Shut it. I'm happier here, and I would appreciate if you didn't bring up darker times," I say.
"Are you just going to ignore our history, then?" He asks.
Yes, yes I am. He was toxic and I had every right to cut him off.
"So you found a place where the grass is greener~" He sings.
Ok, does this school have a curse on it or something? A curse that makes everyone in here sing? Am I next? And where is that faint music playing from?
I'm just going insane, that's it.
"And you jumped the fence to the other side~"
Does he mean me moving? Because that wasn't really a choice.
