"Yeah so that's how you get the answer x" I finish explaining to Zenith she smiles now understanding the work.
"Now I get it." She looks up at me smiling. "You're really smart Will." Zenith compliments I smile back at her we had a free period so we decided to go to the school library and that's were we were right now I was helping her with a bit of math.
"Yo, dude I'm gonna get some skittles from the vending machine, want anything?" I ask her while standing up.
"Nah I'm cool." She waves her hand dismissively. I stand up grabbing my money walking out the library.
I put my money in the slot of the vending machine I pick the skittles the skittles drop. I bend down picking up the packet I get up to see Maddox leaning against the lockers was he there the whole time? I look down but then I soon realise I have to pass him to get to the libray.
I open my skittles popping one in my mouth walking straight to the library door with as much confidence I could muster I brushed shouders with Maddox as I passed him not looking up at him just giving him the cold shoulder.
I got to the door just as I was about to open it.
"Willow." He says smoothly. I close me eyes then opeing them again turning around slowly to look up at Maddox.
"Yes." I whisper looking at him.
"Lets talk." He demands rather rudely.
"No." I state simply giving him one more glance before pushing the library door open and walking in.

"Bye Tori." I greet shutting the van door. Victoria lowers down the passenger window.
"Hey remember we are hanging out tomorrow after school by the lake just us." Victoria reminds me.
"Yeah sure!" I shout running to the front door I hear Victoria chuckle driving away.
I run inside my house almost stepping on Karmo as he passed me.
"Hey watch it." I grumble dropping my bag I was so hungry. I jog to the fridge spotting leftovers from the previous dinner.
I take out the leftover lasgana placing it into the microwave my phone 'tings' I pull out my Samsang Galaxy 7 to see I have a message from a unknown number.
?: Do you always ignore people that are blunt?
Me: What?
Me: Who's this?
?: you didn't answer my question.
Me: answer my question first.
?: you know who I am.
I scrunch my eyebrows together who was this person and how did they get my number.
Me: do you go to our school?
Type quickly waiting patiently for the person to respond.
?: yeah I do.
?: we always seem to get in an arugument.
I read the message over and over then everything comes together.
Maddox.
Me: who sent my number to you Maddox?
Maddox: oh so now you know
Maddox: I got your number from one of your friends.
It was probably Bonnie.
Me: cut the crap what do you want?
Maddox: I want to apologise to you for what I said.
Me:oh really?
Maddox: I'm sorry
Maddox: am I now forgiven?
I think long and hard should, I mean he did say hurtful things to me but people make mistakes. Right?
Me: yeah I guess.
Maddox: cool.
I place my phone down on the counter grabbing my plate of food walking up stairs to my room
I finish my food doing my homework. While I was doing my homework I couldn't stop thinking about Maddox the thought of him makes me smile my smile quickly went away when I thought about his significant other.
I'll ask the boys about Katrina I thought to myself I get comfortable on my bed grabbing a novel I was reading Zoo City by Lauren Beukes it was such a good book.
I after two hours of reading I look at my alarm clock to see it's nine o clock at night. I place my book down getting comfortable on my bed I soon drift off in a wave of darkness.
