DO ME A FAVOUR!

AS I was currently removing my makeup from my face, it got me thinking; i really care about felix. and all i want for him is someone who isn't going to hurt him or say hurtful things about him.

almost on cue, i received a text from felix. thanks for coming and victor told me what happened. you don't need to worry about me, i know i can be weird. it's nothing personal

of course, the gullible, oblivious felix wouldn't be offended by her, he's not going to give up on her. would it be too forward of me to tell him that i think he's an idiot? probably.

just want the best for you :)

now wasn't the time to pick a fight, i finally have his trust. and on that note, it was time for me to fall asleep. after all, it's just going to be another dumb day of school and another day of thinking why i cared so much about felix.

"ARE YOU going to eat those?" camryn asked, pointing to my fries.

"have at it." i said, pushing my tray of food towards her. she smiled, as she took a fry and dipped it in ketchup.

"you're not acting like yourself today, bambi. did something happen last night?" she asked, now a wave of concern covering her excitement of eating the fries.

"lake had nothing but bad things to say about felix. like, of course i know felix is weird but she can't even acknowledge that he was performing for her and trying his best to impress her." my anger began to build up as i felt my cheeks heat up.

"calm down, bamb. i know you want to do everything you can to help felix but lake is a complicated person and we know she isn't exactly the kindest person.." she trailed off, seeing as lake was sitting over with victor, felix and mia.

"she's just so caught up with andrew, she doesn't even see someone else in front of her. it's all just andrew this and andrew that." i said, as i looked at her. my phone buzzed as i got a notification from creek secrets. i opened it saw the message across the screen; 'bambi kinsey short fused and in love with her enemy?' oh great, just what i wanted. i rolled my eyes, as i got up from my table. i was stopped shortly by felix with a confused look on his face.

"just leave me alone, felix." i said, walking away from him. i felt every single eye on me, as i felt my eyes water. why, right now did i have to cry? could this just get any worse?

"WHAT HAPPENED to bambi?" felix frantically sat at the lunch table bambi had been sitting at prior to the unfortunate events. camryn swallowed her food and pulled her phone out to show him the exact post. he read along until giving a long sigh.

"who wrote it?" he asked, confused.

"lake obviously." camryn rolled her eyes. "let's go."

camryn had paced over to where she was sitting, felix following behind her. lake had been laughing with victor and mia.

"what's this about?" camryn pointed her phone screen to lake, as she looked over to the phone confused.

"it's a creek secrets post." lake smiled, slyly. victor gave lake a puzzled look and mia just sat there emotionless.

"why did you post it?" camryn asked.

"are you kidding? so what, it's not like it was a lie." she laughed it off, turning her shoulder.

camryn grumbled, running off to find her upset friend. felix looked as she went away then to lake, who was rolling her eyes trying to ignore the confrontation. he was torn.

THE TEARS fell quickly from my eyes as they rolled down my fiery cheeks. i was such a damn fool to even try and help felix, knowing i would be hurt in the end.

i locked myself in a bathroom stall, seeing as eyes peered in and out, whispers surrounded my stall. damn, did everyone have to be in my business? i hate it here.

"bambi kinsey to the front office." the announcement said. and this shitty day never ends. i wiped my eyes and unlocked the stall doors as the girls in the bathroom eyed me. i went to the hallway, the same dirty glances beamed at me. after about half a mile of walking in the hallways, i reached the office. the secretary led me into ms. albright's office where she sat patiently with another woman, with blonde brown hair. please don't tell me that's my,

"bambi dear." she rushed to me, engulfing me in her embrace.

mom.

her horrid perfume covered me in the awful smell as ms albright began to grow impatient.

"please, take a seat." ms. albright smiled kindly, gesturing to the empty seat.

"if i could ask, why am i in here?" i said, going to take my seat.

"well, according to creek secrets, it has come to my attention that another, anonymous student, is trying to get under your skin." she said, looking at her computer. "and because of that, we've decided to give you the rest of the day off of school, for your well being." she finished. and that's the only reason why my mom is actually here; good to know.

i nodded my head slowly, as i looked over to my mom, her purse in hand.

"may i go get my belongings from my locker?" i chirped quietly. i just wanted to leave this room, away from my mom. ms. albright nodded her head, gesturing for the secretary to open the door, her giving me a fake, sympathetic smile. i threw my hands into my pockets, heading towards the sophomore hallway. i jiggled my lock, shooting the combination in as fast as i could to avoid an encounter.

lucky me, i got what i didn't want. felix was stalking towards me slowly, his eyes just staring straight into me, as if he were angry or observant, i couldn't tell which. i swallowed the lump in my throat, seeing him finally approach me.

"um, mr. morris wanted me to give you the assignment." he said, with a shaky hand giving me a paper. i was hesitant to reach out but i grabbed the paper, my finger slightly brushing against his calloused skin, which sent a chill down my spine.

"thanks, felix." i said, zipping up my backpack. he continued to just stand and stare at me. "anything else?" i asked, in kind of a defensive tone.

"grouchy much?" he replied back. i sighed, crossing my arms with my backpack finally on my back.

"sorry, my mom is here and we don't have the best relationship. it's nothing you did." i said, giving him direct eye contact instead of avoiding his gaze like i had a few seconds prior.

"it's alright. so, do you think you can make it to victor's party tonight?" he asked, now walking alongside me towards the office.

"i'm not sure. if i can somehow make an excuse to get out of being around my mom, i'm in. i'll let you know." i smiled. how come i can be so relaxed around him? i saw my mother in my field of vision, quickly stopping before she could see me. i breathed out a sigh i didn't know i was holding back, my breath slightly hitching.

felix grasped my hand, too fast for me to react. he held it, giving it a squeeze as he gave me a look of empathy. i looked at him once more, before walking back to the office, feeling as my heart rate was accelerating.
