Chapter 5

                                    

                                          
"Text me once you get home!" Quince called after me as we parted ways.
"Ok!" I yelled back.
For a moment I was lost in thought about Quince, until, of course, reality hit me and I came back to the present.
I was called to the principals office after school and she told me that the house was under my name so I still owned it. But it could only use it until u turned 18. Sadly I still had 2 more years till that happened.
As is turned the corner into my street I felt the sudden urge to run into the house. I felt like someone was watching me. I whipped my head around but saw nothing. I sighed. My imagination was getting the best of me. But i still quickly walked into the house triple checking that I locked the door properly. I then went to the back door and made sure it was locked.
I then went upstairs to my room and started my homework. I couldn't focus though. How could you when you were staying the same house you used to live in with your parents, who were now dead.
I slammed the book shut and threw it across the room. I definitely won't be getting any homework done today...
I sighed as I plopped back down into my chair. I mulled over my options. I never met my aunt but from what I heard she was so psychotic, our whole family disowned her. I shuttered at the thought of me living there for the rest of my life. I would be miserable. There was absolutely no way I would live with her. So my only other option was the orphanage.
I open my Chromebook and quickly sent off an email telling Ms. Assman what I decided to pick. I waited a few minutes for a reply but when I didn't get one I sighed and closed my computer.
I suddenly felt something falling into my pants. I looked down and saw water soaking through my pants. I looked up expecting there to be a leak in the roof but was shocked to find nothing. It then hit me that I was crying. How did I not realize that? Did I get used to crying so much that I do it now without realizing? 
"Crazy shit..." I muttered to myself.
I picked up my phone and opened the group chat with Me, Quince, and Coda.
In the group chat...
Me: Hey can ya'll hang rn?
Quince: no sry I have soccer practice soon 😅
Coda: I can! What time should I come over?
Me: now is fine I have nothing to do anyways
Coda: bet see u soon!

Me: 😅😅😅 sry!
Quince: lol it's fine have fun guys!
Me: u too! ❤️
Quince: ❤️
In person...
I blushed at the last message. I didn't mean to send the heart emoji, it was an mis click yet she sent one back with no hesitation.
I blushed some more. Oh god... I was so in love with her...
"What am I going to do...?"
