I wish I could go back to Christmas Day. I stare at the precious ring on my finger. It's so beautiful.

I then walk into the school, alone. Arlo had to go and get sick the day we're back to school. As I'm walking to my locker I can feel the stares. I continue to my locker with my head down.

I get to my locker, open it up, and start gathering my things. As I'm doing so, Blake runs up and slams me into the door of my locker, and I fall to the ground. My stuff scatters.

He runs away laughing as I start to gather my things and stand. A bruise starts forming on my arm at the point of contact with my locker. Great, I think to myself, more bruises.

I slam my locker shut and quickly scurry to my first period class. How am I supposed to do this without him? What do I do if they do worse?

I continue my day as if nothing had happened. When it comes to lunch, I spend it in the bathroom stall on the end.

Towards the end of lunch I emerge slowly, peeking out first to make sure no one else is there. Noticing that I'm alone I quickly gather my things and exit the bathroom.

I go up to my locker to exchange a few items and walk to my next class. I just have to make it through a few more classes. I can do this.

Finally, I arrive home after one of the worst days of my high school career. I walk up to my room and toss my bag onto my bed.

I decide to check up on Arlo and text him.

Me: Hey, you feeling any better?

Not a minute later he replies.

Arlo: I guess. Was school okay?

Me: Yeah.. Of course..

Arlo: I think I would feel better if you came and made me some dinner. (:

Me: Fine. :P I'll be over soon.

I gather some things and head out the door.
