Bab 31: So she had nice legs

Amelia Forbes

I sat in the library all day solving Jason's homework assignments. It was easy because I had done mine already, so I remembered most of the answers.

My chest was heavy and my eyes hurt. I was simply exhausted. I wondered again why I couldn't just stay home and take all my tests and exams there.

School was the most exhausting place to be, for me. Topped up with the constant bullying.

I needed to get out of here.

Just 170 days left, Mel. You're doing great. You're doing great. Just. . . hold on.

All I had to do was stay out of their way. Jason and Kimberly. And avoid Adrian. I'd be okay.

I felt a second round of tears coming up but I shook it off and continued my work.

Almost as if Adrian had heard me mentioning him in my head, he walked into the library.

I said a silent prayer, hoping he wouldn't notice me.

But he did, obviously. When had my prayers ever been answered.

He waved at me from the door and proceeded to where I was sitting.
