The next morning I read the hiring info I printed out throughly while brushing my teeth. I put on a grey sweater with ankle high socks and my favorite pair of white tennis shoes.

I decide to put my hair in two french braids before leaving my room. All the lights are off and that's when I notice ... it's 6 am.

A light shake wakes me up, I must've fallen asleep waiting for it to be 8:30.

"Babe?"

"Mm?" I say sloppily getting up.

"We should get going," Kio's voice goes through one ear out the other.

I rub my eyes finally regaining my strength, when I look in the mirror my face takes a baby look that I hate the most. Kio looks at me laughing.

"Ugh, let's go please."

All my first five periods go by quickly until lunch comes around. I've been sitting with Trevor while Kio sits with his friends but he's been sitting with me regularly, they just try not making eye contact.

"I'm gonna use to the bathroom," Kio tells me kissing my cheek gently before heading off. I take my regular seat in front of Trevor and next to Tayden.

"You look bubbly today," Trevor says weirdly. Do I?

"I'm not, just smiley I guess. But I have some news, yesterday I was doing some searching and I found a job that's next to Sarah, so maybe I could run into her."

"You really want to see her that badly?"

"No .. I kinda miss her," I say honestly. She's really been at the top of my head since she left, I want to know how she is and why she really left.

"Hmm, what job?"

"It's um a subway, the store," I giggle.

"What's a subway?" I hear Kio's voice as he sits besides me. Biting my lip my head just shakes in response.

I look to my side when I hear loud laughter, it's my old group of friends. You never notice how distant you become until you're so caught up in someone else's world. I wonder if they actually miss me, none of them have actually really reached out to me. All I hang out with is Mandy's group now. I feel sick.

My anxiety kicks in when I start to shake my legs clamping my nails into my palms creating violent marks.

Kio notices and immediately pulls them off holding them tightly while he rubs them.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen, January is right around the corner next month and you know what that means ... the winter ball! Grab a date or some friends with your best gown to the masquerade ball January 20th. Tickets will be selling next month," Our school's Alyssa Ryan says into the intercom. She works in the front office, I haven't spoken to her in months ever since my mother forced me to be friends with her.

I blush looking up at Kio, when he sees me his eyes roll back. Dances and balls aren't really my thing but I'd love it if he took me.

Doesn't seem like Kio's thing either.
