I spent the next couple hours watching TV; anything to keep my mind off of what’s happened to me.
I was in the middle of watching a rerun of Family Guy when I heard a knock at the door. Realizing who it was, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. I didn’t want them to see me as a frightened girl, so I sat up in bed; thankful that the sheets covered most of my body.
“Come on in.”
The door opened; revealing Patrick and Eric with weak smiles on their faces. Looking at me, Patrick said, “Hey man...what’s up?”
Before I could say anything; Eric elbowed him in the ribs. I guess they thought I’d take it badly. With a low chuckle, I said, “I’ve been better; I think I need a haircut.”
Both of them looked at me as if they didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t blame them; I didn’t know how I’d react if one of them was in my situation. Looking at me, awkwardly, Eric said, “You look fine, man.”
We spent the next 20 minutes talking; albeit awkwardly. I liked it better this way; it was better than having them avoiding me.
As we spoke, I suddenly thought of something. I knew this would inevitably come up; so I decided to get it over with. Looking at them, I said, “Does the school know?”
