My stupid mind told me to text her back: I did..y?
I felt so stupid...
She texted back: u ran off without another word ð
I flinched, then put: SORY!!! ð£ð£ then went to YouTube and put "Heavy" by Linkin Park.
Just as I placed my headphones on my ears, someone smacked me on my shoulder.
"What was that for??" I asked Edith, annoyed.
"I don't know!!" She responded, laughing.
I then headed off towards the cafeteria and got teriyaki chicken with rice for lunch. The line was a bit long than I expected, but at least I passed time with my music.

As soon as the bell rang for us to go home, I remember telling Nate to wait for me in the back of the cafeteria.
"Angie!!" Gloria yelled, catching up to me.
I looked back and stopped, letting her catch up. "Yeah?"
She began to rant a bit, saying that her last hour teacher gave her too much homework. I kept glancing back to see if Nate came.
"What are you looking at?" She asked, laughing.
I managed to force a laugh and shrugged it off. "Nothing."
I saw him pull up and said, "Welp, I'mma go. Later."
"Ok, bye." She paused and yelled out, "Angie!! That's not your ride!!"
I looked back and gave her a weak smile, saying, "Yes it is..." then got on the truck.
"Who was that?" Nate asked, his hands gripping the wheel and gave me a side-ways glance.
I lied.
"A friend of mine,"
"Are you sure??"
We stopped at a corner and he looked at me with cold, unpleasant eyes.
I nodded quickly as I felt my anxiety building up, silently pleading him to let me go.

As he pulled up on the driveway, I got the chills.
"So," he asked, turning to face me. "Who was that?"
I remained silent, staring down at the floor.
"I am asking you a question: who was she??" He demanded, slowly losing his temper.
I pinched my index finger with my thumb and replied: "My friend."
He saw right through my lie and got off, coming to my side of the truck.
I panicked as he opened the door, grabbed my forearm, and pulled me out, nearly making me lose my balance.
"Yeah right. Your 'friend'!! What did I tell you?! Huh?!" He demanded harshly, unlocking the front door and shoved me inside.
I shot back, "SHE'S ACTUALLY MY FUCKING COUSIN!!!" As soon as those words escaped from my mouth, I gasped and immediately regreted it.
He had his jaw slightly opened and his fists curled up tighter.
My eyes widened as I took small steps back then made a run for my so-called room, him following me.
But I was too late..
