A few days later Marlene walks into homeroom and every pair of eyes is on him. She walks to her chair and then she sees her friend Blaine staring at her. Her eyes are red and her cheeks are puffy like she's been crying. She looks away and a cold sweat starts at the base of her neck and then it
Well, my number's up. I'm in the principal's office. He's looking at me with a mixture of anger and disappointment. I've seen that look before and it's never affected me. But today it's hitting me. I really messed up this time.I knew this was coming and I was prepared for it, but somehow this feels worse than I imagined. I'm probably going to be suspended for a few days and I welcome that decision. This whole situation didn't pan out the way I planned.I'm embarrassed. The who,e school is mad at me. I'm alone out there in the cold. There's no mistaking the hate in their eyes. I didn't bargain for that reaction from the students. Usually, I'm celebrated for my pranks and revenge plots. But this time, I'm the enemy and they banded together."Do you know why you're here?" He asks and I shake my head lying. I have a feeling this about the video but I don't want to confess to something I'm not sure he knows about. I released the video on the student chat
Across TownI pull up to Marlene's driveway and park my car. I know I have to do this but I feel bad.The front door opens and her mother comes to the door. I watch her for a split second thinking about backing out. I could drive away and pretend I never came here. What Marlene did has to reach them eventually right?I take a deep breath and close my eyes. Blaine's tear-stained face po
When I walk out of the principal's office my eyes collide with Nicks. He's Blaine's boyfriend. He's leaning on the wall opposite the office door and he's scowling at me."So you're the one that ratted me out," I say nodding and he nods too."You were going to get away with it," He says angrily. All I can see behind his eyes is hatred. "I couldn't bear the thought of Blaine hurt and you walking around here like nothing's wrong." He says taking a step towards me. "You always get away with stuff." He adds and I frown."Look I'm sorry I didn't know I was recording you and Blaine, I thought it was someone else," I say and he groans in frustration."That doesn't make it any less wrong." He says his voice getting a little louder but not so loud to alert anyone else. "You think it would have made it better if it was Ryo and Oliver in the video but it's not." He says looking at me like I'm crazy. "You live to hurt people, you do
"Come here." My mother says when I walk into the house. She's waiting for me in the entryway looking at me like I'm the worst disappointment in her life. I look down at my hands ashamed. She takes a sip of her coffee and then she stares at me silent.I guess she knows. The principal's call must have come when I was driving home."What in heaven's name were you thinking?" She says her voice low and dangerous. "I don't understand why you have to be like this." She says and I look back at her. "Marlene we've tried everything with you. How could you think that this was a good idea?" She asks looking at me for an answer."I didn't mean for things to get this much out of hand," I say and she looks at me like I lost my mind."What? How can secretly recording someone having sex not get out of hand?" She says raising her brows at me. Her voice is louder and she's genuinely confused by my answer,
So.....My father is home and has been pacing the living room for the past 30 minutes. As soon as he walked through the door he demanded that I sit on a sofa and listen to him tell me how much of a disappointment I was,I look down at my hands too ashamed to look him in the eye. I hate making my father angry for two reasons.One. He hates it when I don't play by the rules. He and I never saw eye to eye because I was a very carefree child. I was too independent for his liking.Two. He makes drastic decisions when he's angry. He doesn't care who it affects and how it affects them all he knows is that he's making it."Your mother and I are tired of your stunts." He says stopping in the middle of the room. I look at his feet as he walks towards me. "I don't care what the school decides at the hearing." He says stopping in front of me"We are shipping you to boarding school." He says and my ears start to ring.
I don't like the look on Oliver's face. I know he's feeling guilty for ratting Marlene out. It wasn't an easy decision for him. As much as she's made his life a living hell he knows what the outcome of this.will be He showewd up at my door half an hour ago with a look of dispairon his face. He told me where he'd been the day before and I understood. Whether we'd all like to admit it or not. He and Marlene never really got over each other. They broke up but there was never any closure. So this final act he did is like the closure the two of them have been needed all this time. It's not the greatest feeling seeing the person you love morn the loss of another relationship but it's neccessary. Especially if we want to move on and have an honest relationship. Also I feel for Marlene. She might be crazy but I don't wish any pain on her. I never wanted her to get into any trouble. But it seems like there's no avoiding that this time. Part of the reason Oliver was avoiding going to Marle
Today is the last day I will ever be in this room. Sit on this bed. look out this window. I look at my bags on the floor and feel defeat flow through my body.My life asMarleneis done. I don't know how this new chapter of my life is going to pan out but I'm scared. I don't know where I'm going, what I'm going to do but I don't have a choice this time.The only thing I should be grateful for is the fact that my parents are not giving up on me completely. They could have put me out in the street and let me fend for myself but they didn't.
“I’m glad you finally decided to come out with me.” Trevor says smiling at me across the small table. I can feel him moving his legs back and forth under the table. That’s how close we are to each other. I should be feeling nervous with his feet touching mine and his face being so close to mine but I’m not feeling any nerves at all. Tonight is finally The day, its date night with Trevor and usually on date nights I’m a mess. But with him I feel no different. I keep thinking about the times I’ve spent with Oliver, it was nerves all around. This feels too calm; I want to pinch myself so I can feel something.He took to a doughnut shop that just opened in town. There are so many people here to check it out, that we can barely move around. It’s a miracle we were able to get a table. Everyone and their grandmother came to have a taste of the many unique recipes. I’m glad we came so I can try some new flavors
