Sadie's POV
I get to school and head to my locker. I put my bag away and I look at the picture of Walt and I hanging up. I take it and put it on the bottom shelf of the locker.
"Sadie!" Liz says.
I turn and see Liz and Emma running towards me. They stop. "Sadie, we had no idea that Walt was going to be so stupid."
"It's fine," I say. "Let's just not talk about it."
"Hey Sadie," Anubis says walking up to me.
"Hey," I say. "How are you?"
"Good," He says. "How about you?"
"I haven't found Walt yet," I say. "So I'm doing pretty well."
"We should get to class," Liz says. Liz and Emma start walking. I walk with Anubis.
Anubis's POV
"Do you think this day is going to be hard?" Sadie asks.
"For you it probably is," Anubis says. "People are going to ask why you ran from the party and Walt will probably try to talk to you again." Sadie stops. I stop at look at her. "Sadie?" I follow her eyes in the direction she was looking.
Walt and Drew were standing at Walt's locker. They were kissing. I watch as Drew puts her arms around Walt's neck. Walt pulls her closer. If that was even possible. I look back at Sadie who wasn't there. I turn around and I see the janitor closest door close. I look back at Drew and Walt who were still in their own world. I head towards the closet and walk in. I see Sadie with her knees pulled up to her and her head in her arms. She was crying.
"Sadie," I say. "I'm sorry you had to see that."
"I can't believe after what he did he immediately goes to Drew. I figured he'd start to date her at some point. I wasn't expecting to see Drew with him so soon. It's like they knew it would hurt me." Sadie explains.
"Walt is such an idiot," I say I sit down next to her. "He's messed up a lot of things people would want. He had a beautiful girlfriend who loved him and he had to just go and mess that up. I don't like how he thought you would just do whatever he wanted you to do and not even consider what you wanted. He doesn't realize he lost the most amazing person in his life. I can't wait to see what he does when he realizes what he lost."
"You really think that?" Sadie asks looking at me.
"That you're amazing and beautiful," I say. "Walt will realize that he lost someone very important soon."
"Thanks," Sadie says.
"For what?" I ask.
"Being my friend," She says. "Most guys probably would have stopped being my friend after the week of Walt being jealous. You stayed."
"I wasn't going to let Walt tell me who I can or can't talk to." I say.
Sadie puts her head on my shoulder for a while. "Walt and Drew are both in our class." She says.
"We can skip the class if you want to Sadie," I say. "I'll stay here with you. We can leave the school. Whatever you want."
"Thanks for the offer," She says. "But I should probably face this and not run away."
"I'll be by your side," I say. "I promise." I stand up and hold my hand out. "Ready?"
"Not really," She says and takes my hand.
Sadie's POV
I follow Anubis to class. He opens the door. I walk in first. I see Liz and Emma sitting looking over at Drew and Walt. Walt had his arm on Drew's chair. Drew looks at me and gives me a look. I look away and try to see where Anubis went. I feel a hand on my back. I knew it was Anubis. I kept walking and sat down. Anubis sits next to me.
"Did you see them?" Emma asks.
"She saw them in the hallway," Anubis says. "Let's just drop it for now."
We all wait for the teacher to come in. I look over Drew was looking at me. She leans into Walt and kisses his cheek.
The bell rings. "Good Morning," The teacher says. She looks over and sees Drew and Walt. "Drew," She says. "You know the rules in this class. No PDA."
"Sorry," She says.
"Were going to start today with a quiz," She says. She starts passing out the quiz. I finish mine first and take it up to her.
I turn to head back as Drew walks up. She looks at me and bumps into my shoulder. I continue walking back when Walt gets up and walks past me. I meet his eyes for a second then look towards my seat next to Anubis. I sit back down. Anubis puts his pencil down then he gets up. He walks past Walt on his way up to the desk. I watch as Walt glares at Anubis. Anubis turns back and smiles at me.
**Lunch Time**
I sit down at the table with my lunch. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water. I sat there by myself for a while until someone came up behind me. "Hey Sadie," Anubis says sitting next to me.
"Hey," I say. "How's your day going?"
"Good," Anubis answers. "How about your day?"
"My day has been fine," I say.
"Probably not for long," Anubis says. "Drew's walking over."
I look up and see Drew walking over. "Hey Sadie," She says.
"What do you want Drew?" I ask.
"I just came to tell you that I was right about you and Walt," Drew says. "I knew he would leave you eventually. You're just that boring and no fun. I've been trying to tell him that for a while now. I guess the party was where he finally realized I was right. I told him you would never be willing to do what he wants you to do."
"Go away Drew," Anubis says.
"Walt is my boyfriend now Sadie," Drew says. "I won."
She gets up and walks away. I put my head in my hands. I feel hand on my arm. "Sadie," Anubis says. "Don't listen to Drew."
"I'm sorry Anubis," I say. "I have to go."
"Sadie wait," Anubis says as I get up and leave. I hear him getting up to follow me. I then run into someone.
"I'm so sorry," I say I look up and see Walt. I hurry up and run out of the cafeteria. I then go to my locker grab my backpack and then head to my car. I turn on the car and then start driving.
Anubis POV
I stop when Sadie runs into Walt she looks up and then she backs up and runs. Walt looks at her as she leaves. He then come over to me.
"What's wrong with Sadie," He asks.
"It's none of your business anymore Walt," I say.
"It is actually," Walt says.
"No," I say. "It's not. As far as I'm concerned you tried to force Sadie into doing things she didn't want to do and she broke up with you because of that. So Sadie is no longer your business."
"It's none of yours either." Walt says.
"I'm the one that found her after she ran away from you. I'm the one that made sure she returned home safely. I didn't throw her to the side for someone new right after you scared her away and ruined your chances with her and your friendship with Carter." I say.
"She's never going to love you Anubis," Walt says. "You need to stop following her around."
"She doesn't need a boyfriend right now," I say. "All she needs right now is a friend."
I turn around and walk out the door. I head outside and then go to my motorcycle and I start driving. I drive to Sadie's house and see her car is parked there. I stop at my house then I head over and knock on the door.
"Hello," A girl says opening the door.
"Hello," I say. "I'm Anubis, Sadie's friend. Is she here?"
"Yes," she says. "I'm Zia, I'm Carter's girlfriend."
"Hey Anubis," Carter says. "Sadie's outside on the swing set. Have you come to talk to her?"
"Yeah," I say. "I was worried when she ran out of the cafeteria."
"What happened?" Carter says. "I've been trying to talk to her but she doesn't want to talk about it."
"Drew was trying to get into her head and make her feel bad." I explain. "I'll go try to talk to her and make sure she's alright."
"Thanks," Carter says. He looked worried.
I go outside. I see Sadie sitting on the swing looking towards the trees. I watch as the wind blows her caramel blonde hair around. I walk over.
"Sadie," I say.
She turns and looks at me. I see the tears running down her face. "What are you doing here?" she asks.
"Did you really think I was going to let you run out of the school and not come after you?" I ask. "I was worried. I wasn't sure where you were going and I wanted to make sure you were safe and that you were alright."
"I'm fine," She says. "I've made it home and I just want to be left alone."
"I'm not going to do that." I say. "I'm your friend so I'm going to stay here until you talk to me. Even if you don't want me to be here."
"What if I don't talk to you?" She asks. "You're just going to stay here."
"I will stay here all night if I have to," I say. "I'll even make a little fire at the fire pit over there if It gets to cold."
I see her try to hide a smile.
"I made you smile so I must be doing something right." I say.
"Thanks for coming," She says. "I was actually hoping you'd show up."
"Why?" I ask.
"The night you found me you managed to make me feel better for a while. You don't even care if I explain why I'm upset you just find a way to make me smile and laugh." She says. "You're a really great friend. I really need a friend like that right now."
"You know that Carters worried about you." I say.
She looks over towards the porch. "Carter is always worried about me." She says. "Aren't you always worried about your little sister?"
"Yeah," I say. I watch as Sadie whips the tears from her eyes and tries to dry her face. "I'm sorry for what Drew said to you. I should have done something to stop her."
"There wasn't much you could do," Sadie explains. "Nothing that wouldn't get you suspended or expelled. She doesn't exactly listen to demands that easily. I was her friend for a couple years."
"I don't see you ever being friends with her. You are two completely different people." I explain.
"I used to be like her," I say. "Or at least tried to be like her."
"Why would you try to be like her?" I ask.
"I wanted to be like her so she wouldn't mess with me. Everyone was so afraid of what she was going to think about them. I decided to try my best to be like her so she didn't have a way to judge me." Sadie says. "It was going well until the whole thing at Lukas's party. I had no idea that Walt and I were ever going to get together or that she even loved him."
"Then you became her competition to win over Walt," I say.
"Pretty much," she says. "I'm kind of glad it happened though because I can be the person I want to be."
"I'm glad too," I say. "You're not afraid to fight back if you have to. You are an amazing person the way you are now. I love that you don't care what other thing about the way you run your life."
"Thanks Anubis," She says.
"I talked to Walt before I chased after you," I tell her.
Sadie looks over at me. "What happened?"
"He asked if you were alright and I told him it was no longer his business. He wasn't too happy about that." I explain. "I think he's still jealous of me even though he ruined his chance with you."
"He had nothing to be jealous at before. I wasn't going to cheat on him or leave him for someone else unless I really had a reason to leave. In this case I had a good reason." Sadie explains. "And you're right. My feelings are no longer his business. I'm starting to think they never were to begin with. He never talked to me about anything he'd just do it and then let me know. Just like at his party."
I watch as she looks away again. "Don't worry Sadie," I say. "You're going to find someone who cares about your feelings and cares about you and won't mess with you like Walt did."
"How do you know that Anubis," She says.
I stand up and stand in front of her swing. "Because I'm going to make sure there good enough for you."
She looks up at me as I put my hands on the chains. "Thanks Anubis," She says. "You're a really great guy. Some girl is going to be lucky to have you someday."
I smile at her. She stands up with my hands still on the chains. We stare at each other for a second and then she leans closer. I start to lean closer.
"Sadie!" a voice calls. Sadie backs up and looks in the direction. It was Carter. "Moms home."
"I better get going," She says.
"I'll talk to you later," I say.
She ducks under my arms and heads towards the door. I head over towards my house and go inside.
