I did feel bad saying that to him, but there is nothing I can do. I am not single and I will not be for the rest of my life. I feel my phone vibrate and check it. It is a text from Claire.

Wut r u 2 talkin about?

I text back, nothin and ignore her text back

At the end of the hour, I rush to get out but Chris catches up.

“Hazel,â€? he says in a flirty voice. He must really like to say my name.

“I have to get to my next class,â€? I hurry past him, leaving him confused.

Tears start to form in my eyes, but I wipe them today. It is already first hour and all ready I am about to break down. This is not only going to be a long day, but also a long year. I walk with my head down to my locker than walk like a zombie to my second hour. When I walk in I find none other than Chris sitting in the back.

“Two classes in a row aren’t you lucky,â€? I roll my eyes yet again.
