GoodReadChpater 176 "4 left to do but I'm okay with that". I packed my books away. I had ca long way and I was quite proud of myself. I was straight up failing when I chere and now not so much. It was becoming easier, clearer toand I was finally getting it. My brain was finally taking it in.
"That's not bad. Did he message back?".
I'll tell you something she wasn't half eager to get out of morning patrols. "Not yet but I'm sure he will". I wasn't convinced but he could cout his mood when he was ready. I'd rather not deal with the Jake I got last night.
"What class have you got now?".
"English then free period. You?".
"Maths". She sighed as the bell went. "Textand keepposted".
"I will".
In this school there was always a warning bell before the actual bell. One for you to get to class and the other one for class to start.
5 minutes in between. That was enough tto grab a coffee and a snack right? Regardless I was heading for coffee.
I still felt off, my belly was filled with nerves. Or at least that's what they felt like. I was anxious as hell like I was waiting for something to happen.
I pushed for a cappuccino and grabbed a bag of hot Cheetos out the vending machine. Just as I out the lid on my coffee the second bell went.

I didn't rush, I didn't panic because quite frankly I wasn't bothered. My mood was different, I felt different and although I needed to stick out the last few weeks I really didn't want to. And that wasn't the attitude I needed to have. Although I wasn't going to Yale it didn't mean I still couldn't study here.
I still needed to graduate here with high marks.
Reaching his classroom I mentally cursed. His door was closed which meant he had already began his lesson. Another detention was probably heading my way.
Go Leah! Coffee in hand I took a deep breath before opening the door. Everyone was talking amongst themselves, music playing from someone's phone, people not sitting where they should be. What was going on and where was Mr Gallagher? Making my way to my seat I dumped my bag on the ground. At least I know I wasn't getting another detention. "Free period". Abby grinned as she turned her seat.
"Where's Mr Gallagher?". I asked.
"He wasn't here when I arrived and then the second bell went".
"So we're all just waiting for someone to realise we don't have a teacher?".
"Pretty much". She shrugged.
"Weird". I frowned.
"Shthis isn't last period". She laughed.
"It could be". I smirked.
"I've never skipped before". The smile slipped from her face.
"Never?".
She shook her head. "My mom would killif she found out. She's working so hard to pay for college. She would literally handmy ass on a plate".
"Well school is almost over for good". I'm not sure if I was trying to convince Abby or myself. "And my gran is out of town so-......
"You know what fuck it let's go".
"I feel like I'm doing something wrong". I had just left the school grounds. "My stomach is in knots Leah".
"Do you wantto go back?".
"How can you be so cool about skipping school?".
I wish I could tell her the truth.graduating didn't matter, I had no fancy school to get into. Yes I had got into Yale but we weren't talking about that.
My life was here. I was to play wife to the Alpha wolf. I rolled my eyes at that ridiculous thought. I knew I was more than that but sometimes it didn't feel like it. "Guess I'm used to it by now". Back in Florida I never missed a day unless I was ill to the point where I couldn't get out of bed.
Life was so different back then. Even though it wasn't that long ago it felt like a life time.
"I can take you back if you wantto". I didn't want her to worry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Will you please?".
"Yeah of course". Turning my car around I drove the short distance back to school.
"Should I just say you're sick?". She asked.
Skipping was easy, it was the easy option for me. I didn't need to be m here. In my head I couldn't help but think what was the point. What was the point in finishing. What was the point in graduating. "Yeah go with that".
"See you tomorrow?".
"Maybe". I grinned.
I had been sat outside the school for at least 29 minutes. Jake messagedback and I had been staring at the message ever since. 'Probably why?'
When he was like this it was probably best that we don't see each other.
Nobody could get through to him, nobody could talk to him. He wouldn't listen, didn't care what anyone had to say. We would probably argue or nothing, argue over everything.
Still I told Alanna I would try. So I sent the text.
'Was going to see if you wanted to cstay the night but if you're too busy.....
Could say I expected his reply.
'Busy'
