S for snake

You know that feeling when you walk pass someone who used to be a big part of your life then all of a sudden they break away from you, like they never knew you at all. Yep, I know. Your heart sinks with your head as you look down and try get on with your life. That person was Max,he was bestest friend since we were little then about 3 years ago he asked me out on a date. It was a shock. I never knew he would take that step but it happened. We talked all the time, had a snap streak, skyped every night. That close. It all happened back when I was 13 now I am an anxious, make-up geek, sensitive 16 year old girl. I Still haven't spoken to him since. My friends don't really know much but hey ho I ( sort of) moved on. You're probably thinking why I still have all this crap from when puberty just hit me at the back of my brain but it shook me in a way nothing else has

"Libby! Libby!" I startled and sat up in my bed.
"Look at the time!" My mum raises her voice.
I look at the bright pink, almost blinding digital alarm clock, I rub my eyes and I jump out of bed.
" oh my goodness! I only have 20 minutes to get ready" I rush to the bath room and find my tooth brush and pick up the tooth paste and try brush my teeth as quickly as possible. Then splash my face with some cold water mixed with some lime face wash. I pick out my school wear; skater skirt, short sleeved white blouse,my black bomber jacket and to finish it off with some all black converse.

I run to the bus stop and I pucker my lips with some light pink lipgloss then step onto the bus.
"Why are you so out of breath?!"
I turn round to see my best friend Elise's boy friend Jordan. Me and Jordan went to the same primary school as kids, lived across the road from each other and our family's were friends so we pretty much grew up together.
"Slept in" I say rubbing my eye gently so I don't ruin my mascara. I used to have a little soft spot for Jordan when I was 9 which nobody knew apart from Hanna which is a whole other story, I'm so over him now.
He smiles and hands the bus driver his ticket I follow. He walks down to the back of the bus where his friends are sitting. All they do is make sexist and racist jokes like most 13-16 year old boys.
"Libby!" Exclaims my oldest best friend Beth. Beth and I have been through crappy times together. She's my rock basically. I sit down beside her.
" O M G!" She says excitedly she hands me her phone.
It's a picture of Hanna with a boy. I couldn't recognise the boy she was with. She is always getting a new boy friend like every week. I'm surprised no one has gotten wise with her yet.
I roll my eyes "another boy?" I sigh.
The bus starts moving and I startle. Beth's phone goes flying under the seats in front of us.
I gasp "oh my! I'm so sorry Beth!"
I tap the girl sitting in front of me. Her hair was so long it came to the back of the seat.
She turns round "it's nice to know your looking at my Instagram" she laughs.
It's Hanna! I feel so bad and embarrassed.
I take the phone from her hand which has bright pink acrylics on. I go bright red.
"Your such a snake Hanna!" Beth yells in anger.
Everyone is looking at us. My heart starts thumping. My cheeks are burning.
"Aw!" Hanna says sarcastically, she turns to me. "Is someone embarrassed?!"
I look down at me feet in discomfort.
She starts twirling her hair and turns back round.
"She's a cow, don't listen to her" Beth reassures me and pats my shoulder.
I hand her the iPhone back.
"You better hold this, we don't want a replay" I mumble.

We finally arrive at school. One of the worst bus journeys ever! Even worst than getting on the wrong bus. Everyone stands up and walks out insingle file to the door. Hanna and her follower of a friend Megan are in front of us, wearing skirts as short as can be, shoulder hand bags and black slip ons. I say bye to the bus driver and start to walk out the door.
"LIBBY!" Beth shouts.
I stop to see Hanna standing in front of me laughing with her leg out trying to trip me up. Her and Megan look me up and down and continue laughing and start to walking into the student entrance while twirling their hair then joined by a few other girls.
I quickly walk in to the other door, wiping tears away as I go.
"Libby!" I hear Beth calling on me. I ignore every call. I take my phone out of my Pocket open it to text message and text Beth;
'I really don't feel well, off to the toilet💕'
I finish the text off with a cute emoji. My phone goes flying out my hand onto the cobble path way.
"I'm so so sorry!" I look up to see ...
