Chapter 2

Throughout the whole day I've been disoriented. People talk but I don't hear anything. At least so far I don't have any classes with him. Pheew

"Kayla"

I hear someone shout my name but I'm not willing to answer. It is currently lunch and the hallway is buzzing with students.

"Kayla" I hear again but keep walking to my locker until a hand stops me from moving further.

"Kay-la Mon--tene-gro" Whitney says out of breath.

Ahh Whitney Sparks. Brown hair, hazel eyes, nice smile, nice personality and just overall gorgeous. But don't be fooled...she can be bipolar. She puts on the facade so she can leave here and not get into more trouble with her parents. But it must be tiring to have to pretend always.

"I've been calling you Kayla geez where's your head?" she says.

"what do you want now?" I asked

"I just wanted to know if you will join the anniversary committee. We will be incharge of the programs of that day and also the decorations."

Yes Sliver Stakes will be 60 years and they are planning a grand celebration.

"No" I said as we walk to the cafeteria.

"Aww come on please" she begs pouting. I sigh.

"no Whitney, I'm not interested sorry" I said walking away from her to the line.

After getting my food, I walk to an empty table at the back of the cafeteria. You'd think that I have friends but no. No I don't have friends and Whitney is more of an acquaintance. Yes I have acquaintances and not friends. It's much easier if you don't get attached. I eat silently why observing everybody else. Then I see him. My breath hitches. Adrian was coming my way. OK don't freak out. Breath Kayla, breath. Although he's new, he has made friends, and lots of them. He waves them off and proceeds to seat at my table and stares intently at me.

"Ka--" I cut him

"oh A-adrian right? New student. It nice to meet but i-i have to go" I say fumbling with my words and my bag as I race out of the cafeteria. I obviously can't go back so I spend the rest of the break in the library.

^^^^^^^

Last period I have art. I got to the room and moved to my assigned table and sit there thinking of what to draw. Mr William the art teacher says I draw and paint too much dark stuff and I should focus on drawing something that represents life worth living, something beautiful, lively and happy and frankly, that ain't me. I take to closing my eyes to envision happiness, blocking the rest of the world...

"Kayla" that's until I hear a voice, his voice call me.
I turn my head and I'm met with he eyes staring at me.
This can't be happening. I tell my self.

"I missed your art works Kay." he says looking at some of my drawings.

"mmm" I hummed though I'm a bit taken when he uses the nickname he gave me. He taps me and I jolt to reality, raising my hand.

"yes miss Montenegro.."

"um can I be excused from class...I'm not feeling so good." I asked.

"Look, you can't just leave plus the final bell would ring any minute. Just wait a little bit."

He said looking back to his laptop. This can't happen. I can't stay here with Adrian, he'll ask questions I'm not willing to give the answers to. At least not yet.
I have to do something

"please Mr William please pretty please pretty please." I beg. Students looking at me like I'm crazy.

"Miss Mo- "

"please Mr William"

"..."

"fine you can go but this better not repeat itself" I smile, quickly picking my bag and rushing out of the room not looking the boy behind me with a helpless look on his face.

"Close one" I say to myself. I take a deep breath and proceed to my dorm room.
