Whether I Like It Or Not

Intro

There was this shit calle "Skin" and it was a type of cocaine.

Cody was hooked on it and it scared me a lot.

Around 6th grade, I was starting to become this little bookworm-nerd-good girl, and anything that had to do with illegal shit scared the living Hell out of me.

So knowing that my best friend was caught up in it all made it all so much worse.

Well, ex-best friend I guess.

However.

There was one day, and one day only in 6th grade that Cody noticed me.

For the first time in a while.

School had just let out , and I was walking down the hall trying to get to my locker, then out of nowhere, someone shoulder checked me and everything I had in my hands fell to the floor.

I looked up and to my surprise it was Cody.

He had gotten a lot taller since the last time I saw him, and his really soft brown eyes I had known before had this look in them like "breath and I'll fuckin kill you."

"Oh uh-um-I-sorry-I uh-"

"You oh-um-i-uh", he cut me off and I looked down.

"Wow your fuckin pathetic", he scoffed then shoulder checked me again and I fell back as he kept walking.

Swallowing the fact that I wanted to start crying right then and there, I quickly grabbed my shit up off the floor and ran down the hall to the front doors off school.

 I walked down the steps then out of the main gate and turned left, walking down the sidewalk towards home.

Keep in mind, this was Seattle, so I was looking up at the sky watching the rain clouds roll in-wondering when it'd start raining.

Cody was never ever, anywhere near that mean when I knew him.

It's all Hector's fault.

He's doing this to Cody.
