"I went to buy ice cream for you," I replied quickly.

"No shit. Where is the ice cream?" She scowled at me.

"Uh…"  The ice cream is probably lying somewhere on the street.

"Leave it. What matters is you are safe. It's very late to have ice cream." She looked at me disapprovingly for a while. Slowly started walking upstairs.

"I met up with a friend. He was in trouble." I trailed behind her.

"This late?" She questioned. I knew I didn't make much sense myself.

"Yes…"

"Whatever. I am going to sleep." She yawned. Knowing fully well I was not telling her everything.

"Did everything work out with Shane?" I have been meaning to ask her this for a while but didn't know how to bring it up.

"Umm…I am not sure." Her face fell at the mention of him.

"Is he not contacting you?"  If he is doing just that maybe I should contact and ask him why he is doing so.

"No, it's not like that." She said hesitantly.

"Oh." We both stayed quiet. I shouldn't have brought that up. I made her feel uncomfortable.

After a while we both went to our rooms. I couldn't sleep that night. The things which happened kept on repeating in my head.

*******

It has been two weeks. Two whole weeks since Adam has been ignoring me. He tries to avoid me in school as much as possible. Doesn't read my texts and doesn't answer my calls. I was upset for the past week. Replaying our last conversation several times in my head. But, now I am angry and need answers from him.

He is leaning against the locker while talking with his so-called friends. Gathering all my courage, I walk towards him. He didn't notice me at first but when I cleared my throat he looked at me a bit shocked.

"Hi Adam."

"Hey." He looks confused. So cute.

"I have something to tell you." My voice came out much softer than I thought it would be.

"Yes?"

"Not here. Somewhere else." I looked at his friends. It felt awkward to ask him why he was avoiding me in front of his friends.

He thought to himself for a bit. While his friends were looking at us both with curiosity.

"I am kind of busy right now. Maybe later." He gave me a fake smile.

"You are?" He doesn't look busy. There are no other classes. Is he really going to keep ignoring me?

"Yes. I am sorry." Another smile. Fake. He isn't sorry.

"Ok " I replied pathetically.

It was embarrassing. I thought he would want to talk with me. I thought we could solve the little argument we had. But it looks like we can't. I turned and started walking away.

Looks like our friendship didn't mean anything to him. What can I say? He has so many friends it wouldn't mean much to him to drop a few. It doesn't matter much to him. I didn't realise I was crying till I reached the parking lot. A girl asked me if I was doing okay. I wasn't but I still answered with an affirmative.

My phone started ringing out of nowhere. Adam read the caller. I did not answer and drove off. I didn't know why he was calling me and didn't think much of it. He was probably calling to apologise once more. I don't want to hear his apologies.

My phone started ringing again. Just as I was going to decline it, I got shocked by the caller id. It was the last person I thought would call me.

********
Later that evening, Paxton had returned from college. He is going to do online classes for a while. I think he is back because of Cara.

"Earth to Rora." Geena waved a hand in front of my face annoyingly.

"I am sleepy." And exhausted. Both emotionally and physically. Our sleepover wasn't helping much either.

"You aren't sleeping before you tell me why you were crying." She pouted. Geena has been asking me the same question for an hour now.

"Adam was kind of ignoring me. So I decided to be a cry baby." I am embarrassed.

"It's okay you aren't a cry baby if you just cry once in a while. I am sure he had a reason to avoid you although I am super angry at him." Geena smiled at me.

Her words really comfort me. What would I have done without a friend like her.

"What would I have without you?" I literally squeeze the life out of her by hugging. She keeps on tapping on my shoulder.

"I ca..can't breathe." I let her go and smiled sheepishly.

"How is it going with Sam?" It just took one question for her to start talking about Sam.

How he was the best guy she has ever seen. The way he had asked her to be his girlfriend. Geena looks so happy when she talks about him. Sam looks happy too when he is with her. I love how he cares for her and tries his best.

It must feel good to be in love.

My phone started ringing again. Geena was too deep in her thoughts of Sam to notice my phone ringing. I looked over at my phone's screen to see who was calling. It's the same person who called me this afternoon.

Dallas McCormick.
