As I was getting my books out of my locker, I saw Ian.
"HEY, IA-" but I was cut off as I saw him talking to a girl, grabbing her by the waist and getting super close to her face… I just wanted to run away, run to someone anyway…but who? I couldn't run to my brother because he doesn't understand, plus I'm at school. I definitely couldn't run to Anthony… he would just tell Ian what I said… and I haven't made any other friends here. So I ran to the place that any girl would run to when she was about to cry… the bathroom. I know, I know, ewww right? Well, I kind of had no other choice, I was definitely not going to cry in front of everyone AND Ian! So I sat in the bathroom and I cried through about two of my classes. I knew I would be in trouble but I didn't really care. Then, I heard Anthony and Ian come in the bathroom.
"Cheyenne? Are you in here? Come on Cheyenne, you've already missed two of your classes!" Anthony said.
"Yeah Cheyenne, come on!"
A few sobs accidentally broke from my lips. Crap!
"Hey dude, did you hear that?" asked Ian.
"Yeah, what was that?"
"Cheyenne, is that you?" Ian said sincerely.
"No." I said.
"Cheyenne, what are you doing hiding out in there?" asked Anthony.
"Nothing…" I said trying to wipe away my tears.
"Cheyenne, are you okay? Are you crying?" Ian asked.
"Umm… no…"
They are definitely not the best at whispering. I could hear every word that they said!
"Dude, I think she's lying, what else would she be doing in a bathroom for two hours?" Anthony said.
"I wonder what she's crying about. I hope she's ok."
After I wiped away all the tears I could get, I walked out. Anthony and Ian both staring at me worryingly.
"Are you ok? What happened? Did someone hurt you?" Ian said blurting out questions.
I couldn't just tell him how I felt so I just made up a lie.
"No, I've just had a long day…" I said trying to sound as depressed as I could. I didn't really have to try that hard though…
"Are you sure? I could take you to the office for you to call your brother or something?" asked Ian.
I kind of just stood there for a minute, thinking of what I should do. I didn't want to go to the office because I would probably get in trouble for skipping two classes and I don't want to have to go home early on the first day of school.
"Cheyenne? Are you okay?" asked Anthony.
"Yeah, I'm just a little tired, that's all."
"Ok, well, I think you should go home and get some rest." Ian said caringly.
Right then and there, looking into his ocean blue eyes… I knew, I was in love with Ian Hecox.
