The crowd roared behind me as Bennett grabbed a hold of the ball flying towards him. He caught it with so much precision I found myself grinning from ear to ear at such a mundane thing to do, to me that is. Without further ado, he lunged towards the end zone as he swiftly dodged the opposition deftly coming at him."Go, Bennett, go!" I winced as screams from beside me pierced through my ears, disorienting me for a second. I snuck a glance at where the sound came from and it suddenly made sense. Just a few feet away were the school's cheerleaders, headed by the one and only; Emily Sinclair. Her perfectly blonde hair swished from side to side and I found myself staring at her way longer than I planned to. Shimmery make-up complemented her ruby-colored lips as she wore the widest grin the human face could produce. The fuzzy ends of her huge pom-poms tickled parts of her neck and collarbone as she hopped from one foot to the other, doing well to cover the extravagant v-neckline of her

Alyssa I stole uneasy glances around me as I walked down the empty hallway, my footsteps echoing around me. With each class I passed, an awful amount of dread washed over me and it made me wonder, what exactly was doing out here instead of being stuck in one of the classes? A gruff huff from in front of me brought me back to earth, temporarily reminding me why I was stabbing classes. Cameron.Cameron Diaz. From my spot behind him I had a good view of his black hair and the messenger bag he shifted from one shoulder to the other from time to time. It irked me, but I figured the least I could do would be to keep shut at least all this was over. My mind wandered to Vivian and I bit down on my lips. The girl would freak out if she caught a whiff of what I was doing and who I was doing it with too. She never liked Cameron and well if I was being honest, no one actually did and it made sense because he hated everyone back. Literally everyone but most especially me and I found that
Alyssa I tossed and turned in my bed, barely able to focus or get my body to stay on a spot. It was frustrating as I willed myself not to stare at the clock. Not the bedside clock on my study desk, nor the giant one that was way high up the wall. I couldn't look. I just couldn't. But what if….No. I mentally chided myself as I lay on my side, my gaze falling on the wall supporting my bed. It wasn't a blank view, but there was only so much stickers and wall posters I could take in all at once. I inhaled and exhaled as I wrapped my arms around myself. I was freaking out and I had no idea why. No, scratch that. I did have an idea but it made no sense why I was freaking out about it. Do you understand?No. It just didn't…."Alyssa." I jerked up at the sound of my name being whispered dangerously close to my ear. Like that wasn't enough, someone's hand pressed down on my shoulder, squeezing it lightly. " Are you okay?" "Olive!" I sat up, my hand flying to my chest. I'd hoped that
Exactly how I'd gotten up this morning, I had no idea, but now that I was awake, I wasn't quite sure I liked it either. If I was being honest, I had no idea of what I liked or wanted. I had no idea of anything, anything at all. Except for the fact that Bennett cheated on me. With Emily. And it'd been going on for a while now…“Stop it, Alyssa!” I scolded myself immediately. I must have done that a little too harshly and out loud too, because moments after my mini outburst, a couple of students threw me a barrage of weird glances. It was either that or they'd heard all the tea from the school's blog site. My bets were on the latter though. “ Just fucking stop it.” I sucked in a deep breath. Honestly, it was literally easier said than done. If I was being honest, I had no idea how I was able to survive the hours between yesterday and today. After Cameron had jilted me to go do other important stuff, I found myself wandering around campus. It went on for a while, until I somehow wan
I stood rooted to my spot as I tried to come up with a reasonable explanation as to what was happening. Maybe I was being delusional and simply hallucinating? Or perhaps, somehow, I'd managed to cry myself into a state of shock where anything and absolutely everything could be possible. Because tell me why, I just had to be surrounded by literally the very same people I didn't want to see. “Alyssa?” My blood ran cold at the sound of my name. It was from one person and if someone had told me a time would come where the sound of my name on his tongue would no longer give me butterflies, I would have laughed my head off right at that person. I guess fate did have it's many ways of fucking you over. “ Is that really you?”I pressed my eyes shut, trying my possible beat to tune him out, but it didn't work. The more I tried,the more memories of us started to surface in my mind. “Please look at me.” No matter how mad, how heartbroken I was, I doubted I could stay away from him.

Cameron Time ceased to exist as we all stared each other down, each one of us silently daring the other to move. It was impossible though, we were currently a circle of three different people, so the probability of anyone backing down anytime soon was actually quite low. “What the hell was that supposed to mean?” Bennett spoke up, something unreadable lying underneath his words. I knew exactly what it was, but I ignored it. I wasn't going to indulge him yet. “Cameron!” He yelled again after not getting a response from me. If he wasn't careful, I still wouldn't answer him and he would have to make do with that, whether he liked it or not. “ Have you suddenly gone dead?”“It depends on who's asking.” I finally quipped. “Have you finally come to your senses now?” “What is wrong with you?” Bennett seethed. “ What the fuck has gotten into you?”“Definitely what hasn't gotten to y
