Finally, you got to high school. It was something you were looking forward to for a while.

And it sucked.

Until you met a few people, and they became your friends. Hailey, your best friend. Kaleb, her brother, also your friend, football player. Colton, the cool, flirty one, also a football player. And finally, Ashley, who was a total bitch. She was a cheerleader, and the rudest girl you knew.

Colton and Ashley were dating.

You couldn’t help but feel out of place with them. You, a band kid, in a friend group full of jocks and cheerleaders. Nonetheless, they didn’t treat you differently.

One day, Hailey texted you.

HAILEY

Ashley asked if you could check up on Colton. He said he’s sick.

YOU

me?

(You knew Ashley hated you)

HAILEY

well, actually, she asked me, but I’m busy, so you gotta do it. And she can’t do it because she’s on vacation.

YOU

you owe me

She sent you the address and you grabbed your keys. When you pulled up, you realized his house was huge. You got out and knocked on the door, but you could hear loud music from inside, so you knew he wouldn’t hear you. And the door was unlocked.

“Colton?”

You called as you walked in. You called his name a little louder until you heard

“Over here!”

You followed his voice, since it was a big house. You reached his bedroom finally. He was laying on his bed, shirtless, scrolling on his phone.
