Monday , my worst day in the week and it's even worse cuz everyone is  staring at me immediately I walk in

I look through my books  and finally find my chemistry notes and head straight for class

my friends are probably angry Because I've been ignoring them but I need to help myself so I can't talk to anyone to avoid saying mean things

I stay in my usual seat and pay attention to everything the teacher says

Then the teacher stops to answer his phone and I take down notes then he drops his phone and turns to face me

"Ms Ross ,pack your things and go to the principals office" he says and I nod my head and do as he says

"Hello Mr Collins"I say and he gestures to the chair in front of him and I take a seat

"I've heard about the incident at the dance" as he says those words I look down at my lap

"And I believe it isn't completely your fault but I know you are stressed out so I'm giving you some days off from school" I immediately look up at him

"Are you suspending me?" I ask and he shakes his head

"No but I don't want to hear of this again from you , is that understood" he says and I quickly nod my head

He dismisses me with a flick of his wrist and before I open the door he says

"And you have detention throughout the week " he just had to go there , I'll tell Ryan to help me with keeping josie company

I walk back to my car  class anmd continue taking notes

•••

I open the cafeteria doors and all eyes avert to me okay I'm going with the bleachers today

I turn around and walk back out  ,I feel someone following me but I just ignore and sit on the bleachers and someone sits beside me

I don't plan on eating so I just fiddle with my fingers praying the person beside me goes away

"How are you doing" Luke says but I don't look up from my lap

"Are you hungry?" He asks

Silence

"What about David , has he called you"

Silence

"I kinda think you're ignoring me"

Well of course I am

"I'm just trying to to help you" he says and I give him a 'im not interested look'

"You know what , I'm done trying to help you I pray you drown deeply in your sorrow and die of depression"
He says getting angry and I just shrug my shoulders

Then he shakes his head and goes away from me

"Believe it or not Amy ,you mean a lot to me" Luke's voice from Saturday rings in my head and I scoff in disbelief

He said I meant a lot to him and he wants me to die of depression  just when I thought he was a good friend

I think about many things till I hear the Bell and head to my next class

°°°

I walked into the detention room and sat at one of the front seats close to the walls and started tapping on the table

I remember when my life was prefect before Luke shoved me in the hallway  what a strange way to meet

Then the door opens Luke walks in , I turn my head away so he won't notice me but he does and takes a seat beside me
