few months later...
I felt happy i could take at least a bit of a break since over the summer it was mostly low. It was also back to school time, i mostly started to hang around with brooke and Imran since Ollie was away at his mothers, Sid got kicked out with having drugs on him, and Juliet.. well is more Juliet she mainly doesn't go to school anymore.
"Hey lottie good to see you back to"  Imran smiled.
"Yeah we were worried you wouldn't come back especially since Sid and Juliet hasn't come back" brooke agreed.
I worried a bit, do they think i follow them blindly like a shadow. Ok maybe i like Sid and care about him, he has been looking out for me for so long calling and texting even this morning he wished me luck. I was surprised he was doing all of that for me, since him and Juliet broke up, she did tell me over the summer it was due to the fact she liked Peri. And of course i am supportive to her. I feel i grown close with them, the two them as my best friends.
"No" i answered. "I decided to stay, so anyway brooke how you doing?"
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"With Ollie i think she means" Imran nods.
"Well.. of course i miss him i can't lie the way things were left he seemed distracted, i know he lied and seemed different but lets just hope he comes back happy, i just miss the same ollie i knew" Brooke sighs.
"I guess it will be hard" i nodded.
"On the brighter side we are all together and have better things to focus on" imran smiled.
"I agree and it's getting this school year done together" i laughed and so did brook.
I was in a good mood. My Anxiety had been ok recently since the summer was not much stress, there was always parts in the back of my mind of when things will go back into that spiral but for now (or so i thought) i could relax.

At lunch i sat at the brick wall laughing and chatting with imran and brooke until i saw him in the corner of my eye. Victor. Recently there's been a lot of talk about him.  Juliet told me he seemed scary since she was the first to meet him with jordan. He seemed scary and was looking right at me.
"Guys i will be right back" i said and walk up to him.
I knew both imran and brooke were staring and confused of why i walked up to a stranger like him. I barely knew him myself but i knew i had to see him.
"Looking for me?" I asked.
"Yes nice school i have to say but you're now managed by juliet, since i don't know if you heard anything?" He answered.
I shake my head. Honestly i tried to stay out of remembering this as much as possible i have been focusing on the creep that is edward, tony's behaviour and scott's new husband.  (A/N: sorry for skipping the wedding! I want to keep up with all the other storylines rn)
"Jordan has been grassed so your orders will be taken on by juliet" he said. "Your load will be given tonight happy selling".
"Tonight but.." i trailed off.
"Excuses is there, typical of you young people, you may have made a minor mistake but don't forget it's people like you that are good at keeping your mouth shut, besides you're good help to me and mainly smart" he smiles.
"Yes, i will get to work once i get them tonight" i nodded.
"Good girl" he said. "Maybe someday.. you can be the same"
"What like juliet?" I looked at him.
"Is that what you want?" He smirked.
"Maybe" i shrugged.
"I will keep you in mind" he shrugs.
"I.. better go" i said and walked away. Why did i see myself like juliet for a second there. I am too different from her.  In some way i still like sid but he still likes juliet. Yes i did talk to him a lot through the summer but he still kept going on about her. As if she means a lot to him. I thought something would happen between us but these days i am more of a friend than anything else to him.
"Who was that?" Imran asks.
"Are you speak to random men?" Brooke questions.
"No he is someone i know i met him before" i smiled. "Nothing to worry about".
"Met him over the summer?" Imran pushes more.
"Something like that" i nodded and the bell goes being thankful. I am easy at lying than anyone thinks but questions annoy me after a while.

The day was finally over and i head back home to aunty di's to find scott upset with di herself.
"Hi love good day?" She asks.
"Yeah busy busy i will be out in a bit meeting sid and juliet" i smiled.
"Ok" she pulls a face. After what happened to sid she is a bit funny about him. "You have been around those to a lot, just your not involved in what he is?"
"Of course not! I know where to cross the line after all" i tell her.
"It's ok i trust her auntie di" scott finally spoke.
"Oh yeah what's up with you?" I looked at him.
"Just.. michelle he has been splashing all this cash" he sighs. "But these bills came and his cards all maxed out".
"And he hasn't told you? Wow i thought he be honest?" I raised my eyebrows.
"He now don't be like that maybe he will tell you some time, i will do all the talking you just go on" diane smiles and i head to my room.
I know with diane i can rely on her to help scott. He does worry about all the things with michelle which i understand why he would feel that way, he has been hot and cold with him the past year.
I walk in my room putting my bag down getting ready to go out.  I know that this is where the circle begins, torn between wanting more but also wanting less.
