The weekend went by without a hitch. No word from Nate, no texts from Maddy, no fighting with Fez. I hung out with Fez all of Saturday and then Rue and Elliot on Sunday.

I'm walking into the school building when I remember what happened Friday. I've been so happy and busy all weekend, that it kind of slipped my mind. A dreaded look forms on my face when I realize that Nate is probably here, and probably starting drama.

But he's not. He didn't come today.

༄ ༄ ༄ Tuesday ༄ ༄ ༄

Or the next day.

༄ ༄ ༄ Wednesday ༄ ༄ ༄

Or the next day.

༄ ༄ ༄ Thursday ༄ ༄ ༄

These past few days have been the most peaceful ones since the night Nate choked me. I never realized how much anxiety and paranoia I had when I knew he was around.

Whatever Fez said to him, has him so scared or ashamed or whatever the fuck, that he won't even come to school.

The way I was so scared and ashamed that I didn't come to school.

I go in the direction of my locker, but pass it. While I'm walking, I pull out a sticky note pad and pen from my bookbag's side pocket. I write a note on it as I arrive at Nate's locker. I slip it in the folds and keep walking.

'That's how it feels, bitch.'

THE END.
