Private School

Chapter 31

Annie's POV:
Tuesday
7:10 am
School.
Hell.
Stupid.
The list can go on and on.
After my shower last night kenzie was passed out so i just went to sleep.
I got up and put on a t shirt and jeans.
I didn't even bother to put makeup on.
I put my hair in a messy bun.
I'm slowly recovering.
I don't know if i'm ready to go back to my dorm yet.
7:30 am
I was heading out the door with kenzie.
Kenzie seemed very cheery and i honestly couldn't relate.
We made our way to the lobby.
I saw my friends.
And Hayden.
I froze.
Kenzie stared at me confused but soon caught on.
K- anns it's okay if you want to stay over her-
A- no it's fine.
Hayden looked-
Not okay.
He has dark circles under his eye.
He had sweats and a tee.
But his hair was curly.
I smiled to myself.
Tegan was stuck to him like glue and Hayden was clearly about to lose it.
Kenzie and i linked arms and we walked confidently,more like kenzie,to our group.
K- hey guys!
Everyone: hey
An awkward silence grew.
I could feel Tegan staring down at me.
I kept my head down and rubbed my arm.
C- hey anns Kenzie was calling all of us last night about you leaving. she was worrried sick. where did you go?
I stayed silent.
I wanted to answer but i couldn't.
C- Annie?
K- she went to the pool and her phone was turned off.
They all nodded.
Hayden also stayed silent.
We both didn't want to talk.
We both couldn't.
Bell rings
Biology
I walked to class with Johnny and Carson.
Hayden was talking to Johnny while Carson tried to talk to me.
He started to whisper to where only i could hear him.
C- i can see you hurting. let's talk.
I can get us a pass.
I nodded and we took another turn.
Jo- hey where you guys going?
C- Annie forgot something at Kenzie's. try and save us.
Jo- okay.
They continued walking.
We were at the end of the hall where it showed the whole view out from our school.
I stared out in awe.
C- i know you and Hayden got into a fight but do you want to tell me your side.
I nodded not really sure if i should tell him or not.
A- uh well Asher asked me out and i didn't just want to say no. so i said yes. That night I was getting ready for our date Hayden bombarded me with questions. I simply ignored him. He was getting pissed but of course I was stupid enough to ignore him. I went on the date with Asher. Regretted it. It was boring and no connection. I left his dorm and Hayden started yelling at me causing us both to get in a huge fight. He said that he hated me and I almost broke down. So I did. But not in front of him. I ran to Kenzie's and cried in her arms for what seemed like hours.
A tear ran down my face as Carson tried to process everything
A- I regret everything
I said as my voice broke
A- Carson
C- yes?
A- I love him
Carson hugs me and I cried into his arms. I have never cried as much as I have these past few days.
Never
The effect Hayden Summerall has on me is truly special
