He looks down at me, with what seems like a split second of amusement. That is gone the second Clara starts speaking. “Seriously, do humans not have eyes? Watch where you’re going!” She screeches, Liam shots a look behind me, and next thing I know Dallas is picking me up and Liam is dragging Clara away again.

((

I’m to stunned to speak but that all changes when Dallas does, “Aims, are you okay?” He says almost shyly, like he’s embarrassed, when I’m the one who just fell on my ass in front of everybody. I speak calmly and slowly, Dallas, look I’m fine, but if whatever this is, is real. If you’re really wanting to be my friend, please just leave me alone. Look I appreciate you trying, but all of this is just going to cause me more problems in the long run. I can’t afford to mess anything up right now, I’m almost out of here.” I realized I gave up too much information and shut my mouth quickly. I didn’t mean to give away my plans, it’s just more fuel to use against me and try to make it to where I can’t achieve my goals. He starts rubbing his hand over his heart, like he was in pain. “You’re leaving?”

He says so quietly I could barely hear him. I look down, sigh, and walk up the steps to head into the school.

My mind is everywhere except in school, I’m lucky I’m so far ahead in school and can afford to lose a couple lessons. I have Walker in my second period, and he keeps giving sideways glances every now and again. Probably wondering how to get back into my good graces so they can follow through on their plan. I just can’t handle this place anymore.

It’s finally lunch time, I jump for joy seeing Mia. She’s the only reason I’ve made it this far. I don’t know what I’d do in this place without her. We get our lunches and sit down somewhere as far away as possible. “So, I was thinking this year…” Mia starts then stops when she looks to see what I’m staring at. I see Dallas walk in and start to head to the line, until he sees me. He stops and looks at me, then turns around to go sit down without getting any food. I see Walker and Cole glance over at me with frowns on their faces. Why do I feel bad? I know he was just pretending, but he seems actually upset.

The lunch seems to drag on forever. If nothing else I need to figure this out so I can start eating again. None of the goons look my way the rest of lunch, but I can still feel the she devils looks of hate attacking me. Olive sits next to Dallas, seemingly trying to pull him out of his foul mood. Though none of her attempts seem to be working, that doesn’t stop her from trying to sit in his lap and wrap her arms around his neck. Which he seems to nicely decline and pushes her off his lap. Her hate filled eyes instantly find mine, and I curse myself for being stupid enough to be watching them. I don’t even know why I am. Why do I feel so bad, when they’ve never made a move to care about me until yesterday. I feel a hand on my arm and look up to see Mia eyeing me. I’ve barely spoken to her this lunch period, which makes me feel bad all over again. She has other options, but she sits with me everyday. I give her a small smile, and ask her about her day.

Once lunch is over, I walk down the hall til I see Dallas getting his books out of his locker. I walk up to him and give him the cheesy fish cracker snacks I had bought for myself. I reach around him and set them down in his locker, he freezes for a second before looking at me smiling. “No. This changes nothing. I just don’t want you to go hungry the rest of the day.” I say not able to hold back my smile when he’s cheesing at me like that. He pulls me into a tight hug and spins me around. It was completely unexpected and has me laughing and yelling at him. to put me down. I hear a loud bang, and everything in the hall goes quiet. I look over to see Liam stalking out of the hallway and see a huge dent in the lockers next to Cole and Walker. I look behind them and see Olive whispering something to Kylie and Clara, who both look like they’re about to murder me. Clara’s cold stare is super unnerving, I’m just counting the days until I never have to see her face ever again, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Once Dallas puts me down, I ask, “So, he’s not okay with us being friends I take it?” He shrugs and shuts his

locker. Walker and Cole catch up to us, this all feels so wrong. “So, you two made up I take it?” Walker asks, I shrug, “I guess.” Which earns me another smile from Dallas as he throws his arm over my shoulders.
