Maddox's question was still on my mind it was Monday oh how I hate Monday's.
"Aahh!" I groan getting frustrated.
"Honey whats the matter?" I turn my head to see my mom frowing placing her coffee mug on the counter in her nurse uniform.
"Sorry ma it's just school." I lie throwing my banana peel in the trash bin. I hear a hoot outside it was Victoria.
"Bye mom!" I call out running out the house climbing into Victoria's van.
"Sup." Victoria greets cheerfully we pick the rest and they are in such great moods while I'm not.
Bonnie is happy cause her and Steven were getting closer. Victoria and Augustus started talking and Victoria even has Augustus's phone number and for Zenith I'm not really sure cause her and Ronnie continued arguing.
Oh well.
We soon get to school jumping out the vehicle.
"Hey guys I'll see you at lunch." I say hurriedly running inside the school building ignoring my friend's protest.
I jog down the school corridor pushing past grumpy students I run at the rooftop of the school no one was allowed there but I found a way to sneak through.
I get to the rooftop enjoying the view of Green Valley my brain was thinking about Maddox and his infuriating question what did he mean I needed to find out.
I soon realise I'm not alone on the rooftop cause hear someone's steps climbing on the steps to get to the rooftop I quickly hide not wanting the person to see me what if it was a teacher.
I hide behind a big fuze box on the roof I peek through to see Maddox on the phone. What?! I can hear the conversation.
"You promise Katrina you won't go visit Ethan again." Maddox snaps he looks hurt. The person speaks on the phone my eyes widen at the sight... Maddox was smiling actually smiling it wasn't really big but none the less he was smiling. Whoever the girl was probably made him happy all of a sudden a pang of jealously and anger hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Okay love you." He says into the phone then ending the call I was angry now I don't know why okay. I had a slight crush on Maddox but now it was bigger. He left after a few minutes leaving me more confused and hurt and now on the list was anger and jealousy.
What is happening to me?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been in a bad mood for half the day now it was lunch, Zenith texted me and the girls that we eat outside which I thought was okay since it was pretty warm today.
I walk out my class going to my locker to swap my books I haven't seen Maddox since the morning which was good cause if I saw him I was going to cry. I know right? Pathetic.
I huff closing my locker door and walking outside of the school looking around the field to spot my friends sitting by the benches but the weren't alone they were with Maddox,Ronnie,Augustus and Steven.
I stop once I catch sight of Maddox and I just freeze feelings are just bursting inside of me that I've never felt. I freeze just staring at them and everyone on the field was looking at the group with confusion on their faces.
Zenith spots me.
"Yo,Will get over here!" She calls out catching the attention of the group. Maddox has an intense gaze. I breath in and out walking slowly to the group I soon get there and my friends are giving me weird looks while the boys have their blank faces.
I sit next to Zenith as she is talking Steven and Bonnie,Victoria and Augustus are in a deep conversation and Ronnie and Maddox are talking I was left out but don't worry I was fine with it. I think?
While everyone was talking to each other ignoring my presence I was getting annoyed now. I huff getting up and grabbing my bag I stand up. Victoria stops talking looking at me.
"Where you going?"
"Away." I snap walking away I can feel everyone's gaze as I walk away. I run inside the school building I sit down on the floor leaning against the lockers. I cover my face with my hands groaning.
"You seem messed up." The person says I know that voice I look up and see Maddox looking down at me with a blank stare.
"Can I help?" I ask with a risen eyebrow.
"No but maybe I can help you." He says sitting next to me which crossing his legs.
"What did you mean?" I simply ask.
"Ah. The question."
"Yeah 'the question'".
"I'm just trying to figure out what you meant 'why am I like this' what did you mean by that?" I ask.
"You tend to act all shy at school one minute then when you're behind closed doors you're a totally diffrent person." Maddox finally explains giving me a blank stare but his eyes is telling me something else.
"What?" I breath out. "I don't do that ." I argue.
"When you're around your friends you are a totally diffrent person you laugh more and talk way more than at school..you have self-eestem issues."
A pang of anger hit me there is nothing wrong with my self-eestem.
"You don't know anything about me so why don't you mind your f*****g business." I snap glaring at Maddox standing up and walking away.
What made me more angry is that he was right.
