"Morning honey." My mom greets I sit on the counter peeling a banana.
"Morning." I greet but not as cheerfully as my mother. She places her cup of coffe down on the counter.
"Are you still thinking about what that Maddox boy said." My mom asks crossing her arms.
"Yeah." I mumble throwing the banana and taking big bite of the banana. I jump off the counter once hearing Victoria hoot her car
"Bye ma." I hug my mom grabbing my school bag.
"Bye sweetheart!" She shouts as I run out the house. I jump in Victoria's car.
"Hey!" She screams excitedly I cover my ears.
"Why are you shouting?" I groan.
"A 'hey Tori'would have been lovely thank you."
"Whatever." I mumble as Victoria drives down the rode.
"What's up with you?" Victoria asks curiously. I shrugh my shoulders she stops her car before she could say anything Zenith and Bonnie jump in all jumpy and what not.
"It's Friday." Zenith cheers oh I forgot it was Friday.
"You know what that means." Bonnie says.
"Sleepover Friday!" My friends all scream I was not in the mood for this Maddox and his friends just really pissed me off.
"Willow are you okay?" I snap out of my daze to see my friends looking at me worridely.
"Yeah..why you asking? " I mumble.
"Really...cause honey that scowl on your face is telling us something else." Zenith says pointing at my face that still held the ugly scowl I realise what I was doing before placing a fake smile.
"Nothing everything is all right." I say as cheerfully as possible. My friends look at me weirdly before dropping the subject talking about what we are gonna do Friday night it was Bonnie's turn to host.
----------------------------------------------------------------
My scowl from the morning was plastered on my face Maddox acted like it didn't bother him at all as he spoke with Ronnie and Zenith it was currently lunch time and we were all sitting outside on the lush green grass.
"You agree with us right,Will?" I turn my head slightly Zenith is looking at me.
"What?" I scrunch my eyebrows.
"You weren't listening were you?"
I shrugh my shoulder.
"Wasn't really intrested in the topic." I bluntly say throwing a almond in my mouth.
"Whats up with you?" Zenith ask turning to me everyone's attention snaps to us.
"Nothing." I simply state with a blank stare this indicates I'm annoyed with something and my friends know it.
"What happened?" Bonnie as softly. I chuckle slightly.
"Ask our new friends?" I place a finger on my chin fake thinking. "Or are they." I say like a light bulb apperead on top of my head.
"What are you talking about?" Zenith asks utterly confused all my friends look confused.
"I don't ...what about Maddox?". I snap my gaze to Maddox he glares at me. "You know what I'm talking about...right Maddox?" I question with a smirk on my face.
"What is she talking about Maddox." Augustus growls at Maddox.
"Oh I know what you guys are doing here." I say referring to all the boys.
"Whats going on Will?" Victoria asks.
"It's not my place to tell." I mumble with a frown on my face the bell rings indicating lunch break is over which I'm happy about.
I walk back to class alone. What the hell have I done my feelings got the better of me and now my friend will be confused and angry with me.
I get to my Biology class I share this class with Alice,Jason and Maddox my least favourite people. Jason kept his promise he stopped bullying me and my friends he just throws glares at me once in while as for Alice she still teases me but not as much as she used to once she found out her 'man' got assulted by none other than Maddox Knighstorm.
I sit down at my desk which is at the back of the class by the window. I plug in my earbuds and going through my play list I pick the song Drift by Alina Baraz the song connected with me and the situation I was in.
I only miss you when the sun goes down.
Oh your voice is my favourite sound.
Swaying like the palm trees you and poetry painting stories with our lips.
You're like a wave washing over me,pulling me underneath sinking slowly.
You're like a wave washing over me,I'll stay underneath drifting slowly.
I hadn't realised the someone was sitting next to me when the person tapped on my shoulder I pull out my earbuds and turn my head to see Maddox staring at me with a hard glare.
I scoff placing my earbuds back in only to have them getting pulled out of my ear.
"Watch it." I snap at Maddox.
"What's your problem?" He growls
"My problem is you and your friends you don't care about anyone but yourselves."
"You better watch yourself Willow." He growls.
"Leave me alone." I simply say turning my head towards the front of the class the lesson hasn't started since Mr Thomas wasn't in the class students kept glancing over to me and Maddox including Jason and Alice.
"You were about to expose my friends."
"My friends deserve the truth...your friends are cruel people and so are you." I snap "No wonder Katrina is cheating on you." I mumble to myself but Maddox heard it.
He glares at me with so much hate now my confidence level are going down he grabs my wrist roughly pulling me towards the door I grab my bag quickly as he drags me down the school hall before opening the storage closed shutting it behind him.
He turns around glaring at me.
Uh oh.
