It's lunch, Jada said to meet in the second stairwell. Smalls sat next to me in all my morning classes while Jada sat in front of us. Luckily I haven't had to deal with Adrian or my brother yet.
Smalls and Jada are already at the stairwell but I had to get my lunch from my locker. It's only random snacks I threw together because does anyone eat lunch?
Ginny texted me while I was in class so I answer her as I walk down the hallway carrying my little brown paper bag full of snacks. She texted about these two kids who got expelled for getting caught selling mary jane in the bathrooms.
This school hasn't changed a bit, I might have only been fifteen when I left but I still spent way too long at this school. It was only a year and a few months but that's still too long.
I slide my phone into my back pocket but stop in my tracks when I hear the annoying shrill of Celia Grace. Paying her any mind is too much, there are no words to describe how much I dislike her.
"Hey come on I'm trying to talk to you." Still, I don't turn around.
She catches up to me and grabs my arm. Turning to her I rip my arm out of her grasp and tell her, "Don't touch me."
She just grins.
Celia used to be my best friend. We weren't as close as I was to Kohen, Christian, or Adrian but she was still my best friend. It still hurts that she doesn't believe me either.
Honestly, it's no surprise that she got with Adrian, she's always had a thing for him.
"Come on Reeve, don't be like that we're friends." She says sweetly.
I shake my head, "No we aren't."
She pouts, "Oh yeah I almost forgot about all the shit you did for a second." She sobers down and says, "This is your warning, stay away from Adrian, Norah, Kohen, me. Just stay away from all of us."
Giving her a mocking nod I say, "That won't be a problem."
I turn on my heel and go back in the direction I was headed.
Smalls and Jade greet me with smiles when I get there then tell me their plans.
