Chapter 7

* back to Connors POV *

After I stormed out of the bathroom, I felt an immediate wave of guilt come over me.

I know I should be pissed at Troye, what he did was horrible and it hurt my feelings a lot, but he was under a lot of stress.

After everything that has happened this week, I can see why'd he be so rude about. Why he wouldn't believe my story. There's no doubt in my mind that he was jealous that I lived this 'perfect life' when in reality, I don't. But he just doesn't chose to believe that.

As much as those words hurt me, I still feel like I have to apologize for walking out on him. All he needed was a friend, and I was more than willing to give that to him.

The hallways were empty and quiet, with only a few minutes of class remaining. The blue carpet gave color to the white walls, making the hallway just a bit more light and easy going.

The sun was shining through the windows of the hall, leaving little specs of sun everywhere. For once, the halls didn't seem so dark and horrible. They seemed light and welcoming. I liked it.

After walking retrieving my book that I left in the hallway, I decided to grow a pair and find Troye. First, I decided to check the bathroom.

Quietly, I opened the door to the bathroom, expecting to hear Troye. But to my surprise, I heard nothing but the drops of water falling from the faucet of the sink.

"Troye?" I called out, hoping I'd hear an answer. The spot I left him at was empty, meaning he'd left.

I wasn't going to give up. I needed to apologize. So, i started my mission.

Maybe he's by his locker.

Deciding that'd be my first stop, I turned my heels to the direction of his locker and started to walk down the unusually welcoming hall.

As I was approaching the general location of locker, I heard the faint sounds of laughter coming around the corner. Me, being the dumb ass I am, decided to see what all the chatter was about.

As I turned the corner, I saw something that made my heart drop. Something

that immediately changed all thoughts hour apologizing.

Troye was with Joe. And they were laughing?

Quickly, I turned around and sprinted towards my locker. Why the fuck would he do something like this? And to think I was going to apologize?

I never saw Troye as one to get revenge. Yeah, I walked out on him, that doesn't mean he should befriend the person that ruined my life. The person who caused me physical harm!

I threw my shit in my locker, grabbed my bag, and casually walked out of school. I didn't want to face Troye, and besides, there's only a couple minutes left of school.

The walk home gave me time to think. my mind started to wander and jump to many conclusions.

Was he befriending Joe? Why was Caspar there? Maybe they were bullying him?

No. They were laughing. Troye was trying to friend him, the one person I hate.

I arrived home and ran up to my room, completely ignoring the confused looks my mom was getting me.

All I want to do right now is sit back, relax, and completely ignore Troye. So, that's what I was going to do.

I walk over to my closet to retrieve my pajamas - which included an over sized sweater and sweatpants.
