Chapter 7

*Skip to Monday*

I awoke with the sound of my alarm clock. I groaned and saw that it was 7:00. I have to get up for stupid school. I hated being the new kid. I have been one a lot, but I have Austin, and Tyler, and Rob, and I don’t kknow if Alex is still mad at me.

I sat up and fell out of bed. I groaned again and got up.

I walked over to my closet, and picked out a Hunger Game white t-shirt and another pair of skinny jeans. As you can tell I like skinny jeans. I put them on and grabbed a red varsity jacket.

I put on high tops and went downstairs where (not surprised) Austin was sitting all ready on the couch on his phone.

I gave him a weird look as I walked to the kitchen. His mom was washing the dishes.

“Good morning Olivia,” she said and smiled at me sweetly.

Ever since Friday, when I ran home crying from the movie theatre, she has been SUPER nice to me. I don’t know why. I mean everyone else except for Alex probably forgot about that whole thing. And Sarah hasn’t texted me since Friday.

I tried texting Alex but he won’t text me back, but I know he read them.

“Good morning,” I said back and sat down at the kitchen table where unsurprisingly my breakfast was sitting. It was frosted flakes (my favorite cereal)

“So are you nervous?”

“No, not really. I’m kind of used to being the new kid. Besides, I have Austin, Tyler, and Rob,” I replied.

“Whatever happened to you and Alex?” she asked. My face fell.

“Um, I don’t know, he won’t talk to me,” I mumbled.

“Oh, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have asked,” she apologized.

“It’s fine,” I said, suddenly I wasn’t hungry anymore. Maybe when I go to school he will come up to me and apologize or at least talk to me. I really missed him.

“Well, it’s 7:30 right now, don’t want to miss the bus,” I said and got up.

“Here is your backpack. All of the books and supplies you will need are in their along with money for lunch,” she explained.

“Thank you,” I smiled and grabbed my backpack. I put it on my right shoulder and walked into the living room where Austin was waiting.

“Are you ready?” he asked and I nodded. We walked out of the door. The bus stop was right at the end of the block. A lot of people were already standing there. Along with Rob, Tyler…. Zach, Alex, and Sarah.

This should be good.

Austin turned around and gave me a sorry look.

“I don’t want to go over there,” I whispered to him.

“Just stay behind me, and if they talk to you just ignore them,” Austin reassured me. I stayed behind Austin and we walked over to them.

“Hey Olivia,” Tyler said and walked over towards us.

“Hey Tyler,” I smiled at him.

I could practically feel Alex’s eyes burning into my skull.

Lol no I’m jk.

But I knew he was glaring at me, same with Sarah and Zach. No kidding Zach already told Alex that I “bullied” Sarah, so he most likely hates me more. I tried to forget about it, but you know how I feel about Alex…
