weet Jesus Mother of God; Austin kissed me.
I don't know how the day flew by so fast but once I heard the bell for lunchbreak, I threw myself out of Chemistry class.
I needed to find Oliver.
Okay so a little update; Me and Oli won't be having any classes together other than P.E which we both hate cause we are both lazy asses.
And because Karma is a bitch, he has the same time-table with Sabrina.
You heard me! The universe hates my best friend. And I will be having Maths, History, Social studies and Chemistry with Austin.
Did I forget to mention that the universe hates me too?
Back to needing to find Oliver, I bump heads with someone.
"Simio!" (ape)
Yup. Once the Spanish is out, you know Roxy is mad and she's ready to unleash hell. Fortunately she won't just yet cause she doesn't know it's me just yet.
I help her pick up her things
"I'm so sorry Roxy"
"You should be!" Okay she's really mad. "Next time, Eyes on the road"
"Sí. Where's Jamie?"
"Looking for you. We heard what happened"
I'm sure the whole world heard what happened by now. Runaway step-mom might be dialling my phone by now. I still can't believe it myself. What the hell?!
"Está bien Yaz" (it's alright Jaz)
"No it's not. That son of a bitch. I'm going to be the talk of the school for weeks. You know I don't like being the talk of the school. I'm not Sabrina"
I wish the ground would just open up and swallow me right now. I haven't paid any attention in class throughout the day. The whole situation just got me so fucked up.
This was not how I planned my first day of school. It was supposed to be me kicking Sabrina's ass if she tries to mess with Oli. Or me and Roxy scaring off any girl that tries to flirt with Jamie just because we like to annoy him. It was supposed to be me and three friends having a good day. No Austin Skye in that equation ladies and gentlemen.
Times like this, I wished Albert Einstein invented a time machine.
And there he is. Oliver is walking towards me alongside Jamie with one brow raised. I know what that means... oh sweet lord I know what that means.
"A word?"
"Sure" I turn to look at Roxy and Jamie as Oliver pulls me to the janitors closet "You guys wait here".
**********
Inside the Janitors closet, it reeked of detergent. Made me want to puke my insides out.
"Any other closet would have been better Oli"
"That's not what's important. My Dad called"
"I could tell. You had one brow up. Does that mean you're leaving?"
"I don't know what it means Jaz" Oliver sighs in defeat. I also feel defeated.
Oliver's father has been trying to get Oliver to come live with him in Rome with his new family for months. He even filed child custody claim. Grandpa Nelly's lawyers are trying to counter it but they're no match for Mr. Lourdes lawyers. He hired the best in the country. Money talks if you know what I mean.
I don't want to lose my best friend. Not now, not ever. Oliver has been refusing to meet his father's demands for months now. Even during summer vacation, he would call to ask Oliver of he had changed his mind. But it was only a matter of time before he forcefully flew Oliver to Rome.
"Why can't he just be happy with his new family?" I am so disgusted.
"It's all for the media Jaz. He wants to put up a front that he has one big happy family. If I don't go with him and the press finds out he has another son on another continent, it'll be bad for business".
"Gee boy, try convincing me some more" I roll my eyes at him. Oliver is so defensive over his father and he claims to not want to be with him. Two-faced clown.
"Listen to me, I'm not going to Rome. I promise you."
"Don't make promises you can't keep. Your father has money and power. He can probably buy the judge, your grandparents will not have a fair trial of custody"
"They are my grandparents. I'm sure i can live with them if I want. It's a fight over me, I should have a say in it".
"You don't get it. They're not your parents, they're your guardians. If your father wins custody over you and you refuse to go with him, they might throw you in a foster home. Either way I'm losing you".
I can't take it anymore. I need to leave this place. I'm getting hot. So many mixed emotions, I can't process all of them at once. I need to breathe. I walk out of the closet, turn to look at where Roxy and Jamie were last seen, they're not there.
God I need air in my lungs.
I go to the only place where I can get what I need.
The Rooftop.
