My jaw dropped as I read the message.

As soon as I walked in the smell of weed instantly hit me. Pregnant teens applied their lipstick in the broken bathroom mirrors while the stalls were filled by seniors rolling joints to last them the day.

The school bathroom was the last place I wanted to be in but what choice do I have other than pissing on myself. After waiting ten minutes for a stall to be cleared I just walked out. Class was going to start in 5.

As I walk out of the bathroom I spot someone i've never seen before walking through the entrance door. The bright sun that came from the window covered his face, making him unknown. Im not exaggerating when I say every girl in the hall stopped to look at him. I step closer to the entrance to see who this new guy was, except it was Mattia. He wore the black jeans and champion shirt we got him yesterday. He didn't wear his glasses today and he had shaved his stubble.

He instantly spots me and walks over. "Wow you look amazing," I say in shock. His hand ran through his hair as he shyly laughed.

"I was thinking I did too much, everyone's staring." His bottom lip sticks between his teeth as he looks around at all the girls staring. Just then an idea hits.

"They're staring cause you look hot, by the way can you help me with something," I say rushed. A blush appears on his cheeks but he tries to cover it.

"Yeah what's up?"

"I really have to use the bathroom so can you go in the guys bathroom and check if anyone is there?" As he walks in I get the urge to turn around. From across the hall I see Miranda glaring at me. I really have to talk to her.

"All clear," Mattia says coming out of the bathroom. Before I could run in he calls my name. "I'll stay out here to make sure no one goes in." I nod my head as a response and quickly run in.

Once I do my business I start to think about all the possible ways I could confront Mar. He lied on my name. What if Mattia ever heard the rumor. I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me in that way but if there was any chance he did it'd be ruined.

I open the bathroom door only to find that Mattia was no where in sight.

"Who did you fuck in there now Izzy?" Miranda says coldly. Everyone who was standing near by laughed and stared. She turns back to whoever she was talking to and heads to class. Just then I realize who was there. Mattia... I glance over to him but he looks at me with disappointment.

First and second period consisted of Miranda giving me dirty glares and Mattia ignoring me. As I walk to my third period gym class I spot Mariano by the bleachers. The only thing heard across the field was a heavy slap to the face. Mar holds his cheek in pain as I try not to show the pain in my hand.

"What the fuck was that?" he semi yells. I stare at him in disbelief.

"You said I slept with you? Really Mariano I knew you were psychotic but this," I couldn't even finish my sentence because of my frustration.

"I never said that," he says still holding his now red cheek. I give him the 'really bitch' look. "I'm being serious mamas, I never said we slept together," he says raising his voice.

"First of all don't call me mamas and second raise your voice any higher and i'll punch the kids out of your nut sack." He looks at me with widened eyes.

"Izzy i'm being serious I never told anyone that shit, you really think I wanna ruin what I have now over some rumor I supposedly started? People are already calling me a cheater." He made a good point though. Mariano would never intentionally ruin his rep as the good boyfriend. I stay there in silence trying to figure everything out.

"Izzy, you know I actually care about you, we used to be best friends before all of this highschool bullshit, trust me when I say I never made that rumor," he pleads looking into my eyes. He takes his grip away from the football he was holding and moves my chin up so that i'm looking at him.

Mariano and I used to be the friendship everyone wanted. That is until we got to highschool and things changed, he started to get more attractive and attracted girls. By the end of freshman year he was gone, he wasn't the same Mariano that I used to take bubble baths with when I was 3 or the same Mariano who defend me when everyone called my hair bows stupid.

"It doesn't matter now." I move to the side of the bleachers and lean on them. I watched as the gym teacher yelled across the field at the ones playing his stupid field games.

"I know how much you like that kid," Mariano says putting a hand over my shoulder. I had completely forgot he was there for a second. This felt nice, like I had my old Mar back. Although I know it won't last long.

"What are you talking about?" He starts to laugh, vibrating the hug in the process.

"The way you looked at him is the way you used to look at that guy from the 100," he says laughing even more.

"Bellamy?" I ask joining in the laughter. He nods his head yes and clicks his tongue.

"Even that at that one girl clark," he says staring off into space.

"Still don't know what you're talking about."

"Mattia, i'm talking about Mattia," he says annoyed at how I was pretending to not know.  "Anyways my point is, I have a plan."
