Eric POV

It’s Thursday and I was worried, it had been nearly a week since I last spoke to Sarah properly but for the last few days she’s been out of it, it was like she was depressed and like I said, I was worried.

I wanted to speak to her and find out what was wrong; I just hoped it wasn’t my fault.

She was standing by her locker and I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation.

Sarah’s POV

Kate was talking and I was really trying to stay focused on the conversation but I couldn’t help but think of my mom

What would she look like?

How would she act?

How’s everything going to be?

“Sarah! Sarah!” Kate was shouting in my face.

Huh what.

“Are you even listening to me? Course you aren’t, what’s been up with you? You hardly talk or eat anymore...” Kate was ticking the list off her fingers as she trailed off.

“Alright I get it and I’m sorry, what were you saying again?” that was my attempt of shutting her up, while Clary just stared at me, I could see the pity in her eyes.

Urgh

“I was asking if you want to come to the movies tonight, Fast and Furious 6 has come out, and obviously I need me some Paul Walker action in my life right about now”

Tonight…wasn’t I doing something tonight?

Oh crap I completely forgot, its Thursday, I was going to invite Eric over tonight

“Urm sorry Kate I uh can’t do tonight” I muttered.

Kate looked at me straight in the eyes which was kind of eerie

“What’s more important than us girls finally able to hang out?”

I felt guilty as I continued “I’ve got a load of urm chemistry homework to complete and you know how bad I am at chemistry”

I was really hoping she brought that, not likely.

Kate just stared at me, as if she was figuring out whether I was telling the truth or not, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she looked behind me.  

She calls out “Hey Mr Walker”

Eric’s POV

“Hey Mr. Walker” one of Sarah’s friend called out, I think her name was Kate

Oh shit caught red handed, although I was quite intrigued on why Sarah was blowing her friends off.

“Urm hey Kate” I didn’t look at Sarah, I hoping she didn’t think I was eavesdropping, even if I was.

‘Sir, how much homework do you give in your lesson? Sarah’s got a pile of chemistry homework and that means we can’t even go out”

I looked at Sarah thinking to myself; what homework?

I gave a piece of homework last Monday which wasn’t due in for a while; she looked at me with pleading eyes and started to speak.

“Yeah sir, do you remember tomorrows the day I’ve got to hand in that long piece which I need to do tonight...”
