Chapter 2

As Summer walked the halls alone after school she thought of her friends at band practice. Probably having Fun. She didn't feel like going to practice today. What she did feel like however was feeling sorry for herself and walking the dark halls of her high school.

"Hey you..." came a voice from behind her.

Summer spun around and noticed a shadowed figure leaning against the wall about 10 feet away.

"Yea?" She asked not moving.

"Come here," the voice coaxed.

"I can hear you fine from here," she answered.

"Oh come on," the voice said, "I don't bite."

"I'll be the judge of that," She spat.

Summer noticed the figure walking slowly towards her. As it moved closer and closer the face became more clear. It looked to be a senior.

"Hey sweet thing," he said.

"I gotta go," Summer said walking away.

"Wait!" He exclaimed grabbing her wrist.

"I said, I have to go!" she yelled pulling her arm free.

"Hey! I said come here!" He yelled pulling her to him.

Summer felt dirty. When she got home that day she took an hour long hot shower. Her mom called to her a few times, but Summer ignored her.

She still couldn't believe it. Why had anyone wanted to rape her?

A million thoughts were going through her head. What if she got HIV? What if she was pregnant? What if? What if? What if? All these what ifs going through her head. She couldn't tell anyone. No. She couldn't tell anyone!

The next day at school Summer felt as if someone was watching her. She felt sore and sad. She guessed people had started to notice her skittishment (not sure if I spelled that rightbecause as usual Freddy would come up behind her and surprise her, except this time she shrieked and jumped about a foot off the ground.

"What's wrong?" Freddy asked his voice full of concern.

"Nothing," Summer said playing with her hair.

"Summer, I've known you long enough to know you only play with your hair when you're nervous about something," He replied.

"I'm fine!" She exclaimed, "Just leave me alone Jones!"

Summer picked up the books she had dropped and rushed to the nearest bathroom. Making sure no one else was in there she went to the sink and splashed water on her face.

"Keep it together Hathaway," She whispered to her reflection.

Just then the door opened and in came none other than Summer's nemesis Eleni Afflerbach. The most popular girl in school, and the nosiest.

"Hey Summer," Eleni said snidely.

Eleni quit the band in 7th grade when she and Michelle had been accepted into the "popular" crowd. At least Michelle was still nice to the band.
"Hi," Summer replied.

"So, I saw what happened in the hall between you and Freddy," She started, Summer knew what was coming. "What's going on?"

"None of your business," Summer spat.

"Ooohhhh a lover's quarrel?" Eleni asked.

"What? No! Me and Freddy? You gotta be kidding," Summer laughed.

"Oh don't start with Me Summer Hathaway," Eleni stated, "Everyone in the school knows you like him."

"What?" Summer asked dumbfounded.

"Yea, didn't you know? Freddy's probably the only one in the entire school who doesn't know," Eleni laughed.

"Whatever," Summer replied, "I gotta go."
"So you do like him!" Eleni called to Summer's back.
