❝MY LOVE❞

The next morning I awoke and followed my usual routine, going to the restrooms to shower and prep myself and then coming back to my room to get dressed.

Agnes and I aren't on speaking terms, so we made no eye contact or conversation. She was probably thinking of a way to pay me back, but she couldn't and she wouldn't, the bitch is all talk.

I sighed softly, running my hand through my hair as I glanced at myself in the mirror. I didn't believe I was beautiful or drop dead gorgeous, I believed I was as radiant as the sun or as luminous as the moon.

Some of me was hidden away, like the moon so probably more like the moon.

Just as I finished lacing up my old vans, there was a knock on my door. I opened the door only to see Cheryl as usual. We always went to breakfast, lunch and dinner together; well usually. More often than not.

"Hey baby doll, ready to go?" Cheryl smiled, leaning on the doorframe as I grabbed my key from my bed and rushed out the door.

"Course." I said, brushing a stray piece of hair away from my face.

Cheryl nodded and started to walk towards the dining hall alongside me, making small talk about our prank on Agnes and the aftermath. She explained Agnes murmured small things under her breath about me and just ignored her for the rest of the night. Surprising? Nope.

"What about Jason, did you make mama proud and get that díck?" Cheryl asked, walking a bit ahead of me to get the next spot in the breakfast line.

"It was dry sex, but it was still damn good." I smirked to myself, remembering the events from last night.

"Well shit at least you got some, I won't be getting any until Saturday." Cheryl rolled her eyes, sighing dramatically as she grabbed her breakfast tray which consisted of oatmeal, bottled apple juice and a bowl of grapes.

"Are you seeing Blake again this weekend? Is he finally gonna make it official after ten years of waiting." I replied, grabbing my tray as well before finding a seat with Cheryl at a nearby table.

"Not sure, but that doesn't mean we can't fuck." Cheryl sat down on the opposite side of me, picking up her bottle of apple juice and opening it. The rest of our squad wasn't here, they were always missing in the morning.

Penny was always doing some history assignment assigned usually weeks earlier before her first period it was due in and Zav and Agnes ate outside in the mornings.

I nodded my head in response as I picked up my coffee and took a drink of it. I enjoyed the taste of the small amount of caramel in the coffee, it was different for once.

My eyes wandered around aimlessly, scanning all of the teachers sitting at the back of the room at the headmaster's table, who were all making conversation with each other. Jason was sitting up there as well, he was eating his breakfast quietly and listening in on a conversation between Ms. Lopes and Headmaster Westbrooks.

I wanted him to look my way, but he didn't until one specific moment. He looked towards the front of the room where the lunch ladies were and where Cheryl and I sat at the second table in front of the breakfast bar. Our eyes made contact only once and when they did, Jason tensed up and looked away quickly.

"Do you think you and Julian are done for good?"

I focused back in on Cheryl, setting my coffee down and clearing my throat abruptly, I didn't want to think about Julian, not right now anyways.
