Dear Diary

4 🔥

I skipped school today in order to go to starbucks. Probably not my best decision yet, but I really wasn't feeling school today. You'd think paying 300$ a class would be motivation enough, but apparently not.

I find out from my friends that we have a group project in our physics class, and of course this was the one time I decided to skip.

So now I don't have a partner. However, apparently lovely dear old Axton volunteered. I got a text from him saying:

Axton: Guess you're stuck with me tonight. Projects due tomorrow. Meet by my car.

And you know what? Screw him. I'll just do the project by myself.

Just as I'm thinking that I get another text.

Axton: And just so you know, if you decide not to come I have a wonderful project that's ready to be presented. I know everyone would love it.

So he's going to be a bitch about it.

Me: I'll do the project by myself. U can take credit for it, leave me alone.

I'm walking to my dorm when I hear running footsteps behind me. I'm about to get out my pepper spray when Bella bumps into me and hugs me.

"Heyy I missed you." She smiles and I laugh.

"I nearly pepper sprayed you! You idiot!" I say between breaths.

"Well why didn't you?"

"Mmm because you're not a kidnapper?"

"Never know. I would gladly kidnap a hot thing like you," she winks and I snort.

I feel my phone buzzing again.

Axton: Have it your way.

...

The next day in class, I have our whole project ready. It was actually pretty difficult and I sort of regretted pushing Axton away.

He didn't even show up today, that asshole. So now I have to do the presentation on my own, too.

I sit there anxiously waiting for my turn, and just as class starts Axton walks in the door, carrying a large poster, I can't see what's on it from here.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to put some last minute details on the project." He looks to me and smirks. Oh no. He didn't.

"That's fine, take a seat."

I shoot up from my seat and walk towards Axton while saying, "Can I use the bathroom?"

"Well Alice, this isn't the most appropriate time for the restroom, wouldn't you agree?"

I stare Axton down as I snatch the billboard paper from his hand and storm out the classroom. "Be right back Mr. G." I hear from Axton behind me.

I look down at the billboard and see large printouts of some of the pages from diary plastered onto it and my cheeks heat.

"Alice, give me back my project." He says running after me.

I rip it down the middle and then into fours, and eights, and sixteenths, dumping it all in the trash.

"What the fuck Axton? What if someone saw that??"

"I told you what would happen if you didn't show up yesterday. People seeing it was kind of the plan."

I want to hit him. Yell at him. Anything, I'm so mad.

"Get back to class. Do the presentation. I'll see you in your dorm."
