For the rest of the day I had to be on the lookout for ashton at all times. I had to keep my eye open for him. Luckily, i haven't seen him at all since i punched him, And that it's the end of the day. When the bell finally rang, i dashed out of the class and down the hall to my locker. People wre looking at me weirdly, but i couldn't care less at this moment.

I swiftly made it to my locker and quickly put in my combination panicking that ashton will catch me in the act. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and i was instantly paralyzed. I slowly turned around to be face to face with riley, my best friend. I sighed in relief and smiled at him.

"Hey" i said happily.

"Dude, are you okay? I waited for you at lunch, but you never showed up." I sighed

"I was...uh..."

"It was ashton wasn't it?"

"well-"

"What did you do?" He said interrupting me.

"Nothing! Why do you always think that I did something?" I closed my locker and we both started walking down the hall.

"Well, you're not bruised or anything, so you either ran away and made him pissed or you punched him in the nose and made him pissed. Either way you made him pissed so you're incredibly paranoid."

"What? No, that's-"

"Logan I doubt he will get you at school for a while."

"Why?"

"He got suspended for a few days."

"He still can get me."

"Trust me, i don't think he will."

"I wouldn't bet on that." I was scared out of my mind. What if I was right? What would happen if he found me tomorrow? What will happen then? HUH?!

Riley and I said our goodbyes and I went on to walk home. I was so paranoid about ashton that I ran all the way home. In about four minutes I finally got to my house. I ran up my porch steps trying to catch my breath. What?! I am nerd, not an athlete.

Once i caught my breath, i grabbed my house keys and put it into the lock. I opened the door and quickly slid inside. I went over to the living room and fell down on the couch.

I was panting so hard between being paranoid and practically running for my life. I decided to do some homework, so i pulled out my books and papers and started working on some math. "Lets see, x-25+43=28." After about an hour of painful math, my phone buzzed. I took it out and looked at the message. It was riley.

riley

logan

I put down my phone and continued with my homework, but not even five minutes later there was a knock on the door. I sighed, i am never going to finish this homework aren't i? They kept knocking at the door. I annoyingly got up and yelled at the door. "I'm coming!" I finally got to the door and opened it.....
