When I had my rounds of chemo in the past, I never lost my hair. Usually, it's a very common side effect of the chemo. But not for me. Unfortunately, I instead had loads of throat problems. Soreness and infection always attacked my throat, and it sucked.

So, instead of going to school on Monday morning I was indeed stuck in bed unable to eat without pain. That also sucks, because I love to eat.

Blake seemed okay after I left the cinema when the movie ended. It was unusual, seeing a teenage boy cry like that. He must've loved her, but I had no idea. I didn't have any info on their relationship at all. Maybe it should stay that way. The other guys seemed as shocked as I was, but they were absolutely clueless as to what to do.

Well, now I wished I had bought more ice cream. I had just run out, and you can never have enough ice cream. I didn't just want more, I needed it.

Weirdly, I had noticed that I had lost weight. Which was not a good thing, since I was happy with my weight. This was also another common side effect of mine, weight loss. So, I decided that from now on I would just eat ice cream all day. Good plan? Yes.

Then I thought of Amber, who had struggled with body image. Was she doing okay? I had no idea. She usually hung with the soccer team, who I hadn't talked to in forever. Guilt washed over me, I was letting the team down. I then made another decision, that I was going to try and at least support my team if I couldn't play.

But that would have to start tomorrow, or at least until my throat got better, because now I had some TV shows to binge.

><

While my throat was still sore the next day, I decided that I had to go to school. Mid year exams were looming even closer, and I couldn't afford to have piles of homework dumped on me because of a sore throat.

When I got to school, I set out on a search to find Blake. He was leaning against his locker with the other three. I went up and gave him a hug. Jordan, being the comedic genius that he is, decided to turn it into a group hug.

"Get off me, idiot," I said to Jordan. "This hug is for Blake."

Jordan pouted.

I pulled away from Blake. "Where's the signature smile?" I slowly started to grin and he couldn't help but smile too. "I'm sorry," I said to him quietly, so that the others didn't hear. He nodded, acknowledging that he heard it.

And just when the day was turning into a good one, I heard a snobby voice behind me. Belonging to Belle, of course. "Is that your new girlfriend, Blake?" she taunted. "You really downgraded."

The fact that she hurt one of my best friends combined with the sound of her stupid voice seemed to trigger some anger that begged to come out.

So, I put a calm look on my face even if I was extremely pissed off. I turned around, plastering a fake smile on my face on purpose.

"Belle," I started. "Do us all a favour, and go to hell."

She did not like that. But then again, that was what I was aiming for.
