The following day at Liberty High, Angela strolled amongst the students, It was meant to be an ordinary normal day, instead she felt alone and lost. She was dreading seeing Jordan, not wanting to face the fact that he chose her as a friend, she had let him down by not giving him a chance to defend himself, she had jumped to conclusions brought to her by her friends causing doubts in her mind and she hated herself.
She saw Rayanne sitting against a wall looking tired. She walked over to her and crouched beside her "Hey Rayanne, heavy night?"
Rayanne looked up at her and smiled " Man, I was totally out of it last night, I have a hangover from hell" she scratched her head and avoided meeting Angelas eyes.
Angela smiled sadly "I don't know if you heard, but me and Jordan broke up.." she said sadly. Rayanne took her hand and gave her a small smile "I'm sorry to hear that Angelica truly, but maybe it's for the best y'know?" Angela nodded reluctantly "maybe.."
Rayanne was fumbling with her bag, she seemed to be looking for something. She frowned and peered into it to take a better look around. She heard Shane call out her name "HEY GRAFF" she looked up to see Shane walking towards her, he was carrying her purse.
"You left this at Catalanos last night..Here you go..Go grab a coffee, it'll clear your head" he smiled handing her the purse. Rayanne looked at Angela, whose jaw was open in surprise and confusion. Shane gave Angela a small smile and nod and headed off towards his homeroom.
Angela frowned, her mind racing why was she at Jordans? did she stay over there? what happened? she cleared her throat and with a lump in her throat asked " What were you doing at Jordans last night?" Rayanne opened her purse for some change and looked up at her "I stayed over Jordans last night, not with him..hell, he wasn't even there...I got very drunk, I think Shane took me back to Jordans where I crashed out.."
She frowned at Angela when she saw the doubt etched on her face "What? you don't believe me?" she asked, slightly hurt.
Angela blinked trying to take in the fact that Rayanne had slept in Jordans house "I don't know Rayanne, I mean.. I know what you are like when you are drunk, you lose control..you black out..You could have done anything"
Rayanne stood up, hurt that Angela could even think that she would do anything to hurt her . "Angela, Jordan wasn't there..He stayed at the loft..He arrived back at his just as I was leaving..I swear..I can't believe you'd doubt me..I need to go to the bathroom, excuse me.." she brushed past Angela wanting to get away from her, Angela watched her run off "Rayanne..wait" she cried, but Rayanne ignored her pleas. Angela rubbed her eyes and sighed. Nice one Chase she thought.
She sat in her History class with her head rested on her arms, she kept looking at the empty desk where Jordan was supossed to be seated and sighed.
She couldn't concentrate on any of her work and had a stress headache that wouldn't go away. The teacher had failed to show up for the lesson and the other students were all laughing and chatting amongst themselves, the only person trying to do any work was Brian Krakow. Angela smiled to herself Good old Krakow, he can never not do any work.
She was trying to think of ways to make it up to Rayanne, she felt terrible about their conversation that morning and she couldn't bare the thought of losing her best friend after she'd lost Jordan why do I like drive people away? she thought sadly.
She looked around when she heard Sharon gasp loudly and saw her reading a note that was being passed around, all the other students were laughing and whispering and Sharon looked at her and shook her head slowly. "I told you he was no good" she said holding on to the note.
Angela frowned "What? what is it? Give me the note Sharon.." she demanded, wanting to see what it contained about Jordan.
Sharon shook her head "You don't need to see it Angela, forget it..he's not worth it.."
Angela saw the look of pity on Sharons face and snatched the note out of her hands. She sat back at her desk and opened it up. The words hit her like a slap across the face.
Rayanne Graff sucked Jordan Catalanos dick last night, the slut even let Joey film it
he has proof!!
Angela looked at Sharon who looked back at her full of concern, she threw the note to the floor and ran out of the classroom.
Her head was spinning as she entered the bathroom and could feel hot tears searing her cheeks.
Sharon knocked the door impatiently "Angela , unlock the door..." she said feeling bad for her and disgusted with Rayanne Graff.
"Rayanne told me nothing happened this morning.. why is this happening?" she unlocked the door and ran to Sharon who embraced her tightly.
Sharon shrugged and rubbed Angelas back "We don't know exactly what happened yet, you know what these rumours are like.."
Angela grabbed some tissue and blew her nose "Yes, yes I do and I also know that most rumours about Rayanne are true.."
Sharon looked to the floor not knowing what to say.
Angela wiped her eyes angrily "Thats why he hasn't come to school, he's avoiding me ..I need to find Shane, he knows where Jordan lives...I need to see him, hear his version of what happened"
Sharon looked shocked "Angela you cant walk out of school for him". Angela shook her head "Yes , yes I can..I need to hear it from him."
She washed her face and left the bathroom and Sharon behind in search of Shane.
