Things Have Changed

Chapter 7

Hatred Returns

I woke up Monday morning, thinking just another Monday, and a whole week of school.

It all seemed to be like any normal Monday; I would soon different.

The bus slowly made its way to my stop and I stepped on.

I looked over at Oliver, and this realization hit me all of a sudden; we weren't friends anymore.

It's weird how I just came to that conclusion in that moment of time, but as much as I didn't want to admit it, it was true.

We haven't been talking like friends, more like acquaintances.

I sat there that morning looking out the window thinking about my suddenly true realization.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I got to school, I didn't feel like talking to anyone so I just went to my locker then to homeroom.

Lilly came in not too long after, "Hey, I was looking for you…why are you here already?"

"Just felt like it." I said, I wasn't in the mood to talk.

Lilly then took a seat next to me, "Miles, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," I replied but by the way I said it, you could tell I was lying.

"Miles, you know you can tell me anything, right?"

I nodded my head, "Just not now Lilly, maybe some other day."

Lilly nodded understanding, and just sat quietly like me during the morning announcements.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Lunch I just wasn't my blabby self, and all my friends could tell.

I could hear then whisper to Lilly asking her what was up with me, but she would just reply with an 'I don't know.'

I looked over at Oliver's table and the kids over their kept looking back at our table. They would be talking, then look over at our table, then back to their friends laughing.

Were they talking about us? About me?

My thoughts were interrupted by Kate sitting in front of me, "Hey!"

"hi."

She gave me a sympathetic smile, "Well, I got my schedule changed so I'll only have lunch and 8th with you…just thought I'd let you know." Then she went back to her original seat.

I just sat there, the rest of the lunch period, admiring the wood of the table.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8th period rolled around and we had gym.

Now I participate, but today I just didn't have it in me to play anything.

My classmates could see I wasn't myself today and kinda let me out of the game.

It came near dismissal and Oliver was with his group of friends in a little circle, talking.

I looked over at them, and I was just looking for a little, and one of Oliver's friends looked over at me and then he went back to talking to his friends. They all laughed, but I didn't think anything of it then.

When we were dismissed, me and Lilly were walking down the staircase, and Oliver and his friends were behind us.

Suddenly Oliver shouted, "O Look it's Miley Stewart, I love you!" he said then him and his friends all laughed.

They were teasing me, something I never liked.

Forget that freaking crush on Oliver, I HATE HIM!!
