"I still don't understand why she didn't try." I say.

Julian sighs. "Lucas man, he ruined it all."

"Fucking dipshit. He ruined friendships too." Daniel sighs.

I think it was pretty clear all of us were upset. I was more than upset. We weren't even together and here i am. Its like my world has fallen completely apart.

I sigh, taking another swing from the bottle of beer and clear my throat. "Im going to bed."

I head to my room and slam on my bed, sighing.

I've been going back to my old self. Not coming back home, failing all my classes, drinking, smoking. I used to have a reason to try and be better but now what's the use? There's no use at all.

°•~°•~°•~

School suddenly feels like a hellhole. I mean, it has never been amusing but now its genuinely a nightmare.

"Elias Morano, you're being called at the office." The teacher says.

I groan, get up and flip off Julian who's laughing. I knock at the door an enter the principal's office.

Mira smile politely at me and motions for me to sit down. I huff and sit down, scratching the back of my neck.

"Its good to see you. Its been quite a long time." She says.

I nod. "Yeah."

Soleil being here prevented me from being called to the office every week as I usually was. Then being suspended for two weeks. But now we're back.

"Honestly Morano, I was really impressed. Your grades went up, you weren't called here. You were acting well."

I swallow.

"What happened? You're going back to your old self, Morano. If this continues, im afraid I'll be forced to tell your coach to remove you from the team for a while so you can focus more on your studies. I might have to call your parents too."

That struck a nerve.

"I know you think that you're good at football, that you'll get some scholarship in college for it but right now? Its not the case. You need atleast a B and all you're getting are D's and below. Now even C-, Elias."

I sigh. "What am I supposed to do?"

"I could assign you a tutor, maybe. But you'll need to put in your own hard work."

I nod. "Fine, done. Anything else?"

"No skipping any more classes, okay? Not even homeroom or sex education. Every single class. And be on time."

"Yes." I sigh.

"No vandalising of property, no leaving school during lunch, no more absences."

"What if im dying?"

"I don't care, I still need to see you here. Ill be paying close attention to you and if you fail to abide by these rules, I'll be talking to your father. You need to cooperate with us. I'm going to be assigning you a professional counselor. A new one."
