The New Girl

Chapter 20

(Spencer's POV)

It's been two weeks since I've gone to school and one week since I've seen Allie. To keep from going to school, so I can avoid some people, I lied and told my parents that I wasn't feeling good and that I was sick and being their gullible selves they believed me.

I spent everyday laying in my bed either reading a book or watching tv and every now and then I,would get up to take showers and eat then go right back to bed. My friends would come by everyday to give me my homework and check on me. When they would try talking to me, I would ignore them until they gave up and left. I felt bad for doing that, but I wasn't in the mood to talk.

I wish Allie was here and I would feel much better. Wait what am I thinking? she's the reason I feel like crap. I know it may seem like I'm over exaggerating this, but ever since I met her she's turned my life upside down and made it confusing and exhausting. But you don't care cause you still like her. Shut up!

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a knock at the door and in came my parents, even though a part of me wished it were Allie, but I highly doubt she would show up.

"Hey princess, how are you feeling?"my dad asked.

Sitting up in my bed, "Fine I guess."

"Well since you haven't been feeling well these couple of weeks, you've ended up missing a lot of school days." My dad said rubbing his neck.

Fake coughing," I know and I will go back once I'm better."

My mom looked at me with a questioning look and raised eyebrow," You know it almost seems like your avoid school purposely?"

Looking away to avoid eye contact, "Why would I do that?"

My dad looked back and forth at me and mom, while she kept staring at me, searching for answers, "are you avoiding someone?" I froze, how'd she know.

"Uhh no." I said trying to not sound like I'm lying or suspicious, but my mom caught on and new I was hiding something.

"Is the reason you're supposedly sick, she said while making air quotes with her fingers, because you don't want to see a certain guy at your school."

My dads eyes got big, "If some boy hurt you then-"

"NO, no one hurt me and I'm not avoiding a boy."

"Then are you getting bullied?" My mom asked.

Getting frustrated,"No I'm not getting bullied, can we just drop the subject?"

"Not until we figure this out." My mom said crossing her arms and thinking and my dad did the same thing. At least they care what's wrong with me.

After a few seconds my moms eyes got big and a small smirk came to her face. "So if its not about a boy or being bullied..... Could it be about a girl at school?" Man she's good at guessing.

"Maybe." I said quietly looking down and playing with my hair.

"Is the reason you're avoiding her is because you like her." Ok is she reading my mind or something.

My eyes got big and so did my dads and I stopped what I was doing, I looked up trying not to look suspicious," eww no why would I like a girl?"

My mom took a small breath and walked over towards me and sat right by me," Honey, like I said before, we know when you're lying, so tell us the truth."

My dad walked over and sat by my mom, "Yeah you can tell us."

I took a deep breath and looked at my parents, well I guess it's now or never.
I took a few more breaths and finally said, "Mom you were right, I like girls especially this one."
