Believe

I start to walk to my first period.

I walk with a huge smile across my face.

My cheeks turning a rose red replacing my tan skin.

I open the door to the hallway where my first period is, opening it for a girl with a broken arm.

"Thank you" she says running through the door before she is late.

I walk to my class and start to turn the door knob of my first period class.

But it's locked.

I look up to see a sticky note reading "1st period meet in Computer lab, bring caculators."

Shit. I'm gonna be so late.

My caculator is in my locker. I better go get it.

I walk out of the hall and then outdoors walking past two buildings till I get to my locker hall.

When I walk in nobody is in the hall. Everyone must be in class since the tardy bell is about to ring any second.

I quickly go to my locker and rush the dial.

3-21-27

It opens, everything in it's spot the way it looked last Friday.

I grab my caculator shutting my locker and ready to head to the computer lab when I hear a catcall.

My head snaps in the direction the sound comes from. I dont see anyone.

I can't be hearing things I know what I heard.

Tyler walks from around the corner.

Oh great I should've known.

"Well, well... Did you think that was your man?" He asks with a chuckle but his eyes look mad.

"No." I spit out.

He gets closer to me, cornering me into an angel of lockers.

"It's funny how the moment I gave you the call you're face just grew with excitment like you thought it was the mystery dude." Tyler says getting closer and closer to me cornering me farther.

"It just startled me I thought I was the only one in the hall."

He corners me fully into the lockers.

"Tell me who the mystery guy is."

"No."

He laughs making a shiver run down my spine making me shake.

"Tell me who the mystery guy is."

"I said no."

"Tell me who the god dam mystery guy is Rose!!!!" He says yelling into my face grabbing my neck hard starting to choke me.

I kick him right between the legs and he lets go instantly falling to the floor, yelling in pain.

I run past him holding my neck trying to catch the breath I had lost from the grip he had.

I run to the computer lab and walk in with all eyes on me for being at least 5 minutes late.

"Rose?" Michelle comes running up to me from the computer she was sitting at.

"Y-yes?"

She looks at the teacher who is staring at us. Well me really.

"Can you excuse us for just a moment?" Michelle asks our teacher.

The teacher nods and Michelle opens the door taking me to the bathroom.

Once we get in the bathroom she starts to ask 101 questions.

"What happened? I can tell something happened. What's on your neck? Why were you holding it walking in? Oh my god is it a hickey?"

"Tyler was just being himself and wants to know every single detail about my life is all. This time he got pyhsical and got a tight grip around my neck."

She gasps. "Rose you need to report that, he shouldnt be touching you."

"I kicked him in the balls, I'll get in trouble for that."

"Did you do that before he grabbed you're neck or after?

"After."

"Then you have every god damn right to go get a restraining order on him."

"It's something to think about."

"Don't be alone, from now on, walk with me."

I nod and she takes a look at my neck.

"Wow he has a good grip."

I look in the mirror seeing a huge red mark on my neck.

I cover it with my hair.

"It will go away soon." I try to give a smile, but honestly I'm worried.

She smiles back.

"So have you talked to Mike?" she asks winking at me.

A smile errupts on my face without even trying.

"Yes."

"And...?"

"He came by my place this morning asking if I wanted to go grab some coffee but I told him I had school so he asked if he could take me to dinner."

"O-m-g... What did you say?!"

"I said yes of course."

"Does he know how old you are?!"

"N-no... But he knows what grade I'm in."

"And he's just like what... Totally okay with taking a 15 year old on a date?" She asks laughing a little.

"I guess so." I laugh a little to.

"Ewww... Pervert." She says in a whiney voice scrunching her nose.

"And what about Vic and you?" I say reminding her.

"Well... I havent talked to him since that night but thats a different story!"

I roll my eyes.

I watch as the clock changes every minute. It's 6:45.

I get off at 7 thank god.

It was a slow day at work, nobody wanted to swim in the cold even though it was a heated pool.

I keep my phone charging in the corner and I finish the last bit of my homework.

I usually finish my homework on slow days.

My phone buzzes loud and I go over and check what was just sent.

Text from: 619-876-4352

Hey it's Mike! Are we still on for dinner?

I smile at the text and answer back.

"Yes, where do you want to meet?"

I quickly put Mike's number into my phone.

Then in seconds I get a reply.

Text from: Mikey<3

Would you mind if I pick you up from you're work?

I didn't have a problem with it but I didn't want to bother him.

"I don't mind but it is a lot of driving for you I can meet you somewhere."

I don't wait long for a reply.

Text from: Mikey<3

I would love driving anywhere as long as it invovles you. Where do you work?

I blush at his words.

I give him the adress to my work and wait for the clock to hit 7.
