Hope walked into the homeroom, and scanned the room.

“ She isn’t coming today. I heard what happened from my mom, so bestie you are.” the source of all evil for hope, laughed, leaving with that smug grin on her face. Hope sits down, staring at an empty seat right in front of her. She sighs as the teacher starts to take attendance. Later on, at lunch, hope pulled out her phone to text an apology.

“ Oh look, it's a Georgy porgy. Be careful girls, she’ll make a pass at you.” a group of girls snickered as they walked by with their trays in hand.

“Dumb hoes.” hope whispered, as they walked out of sigh. Hope couldn't care less of them, all she wanted was to speak to Cecil, there was nothing sincere about a text, so she pressed the dial button on her phone. She puts it up to her ear, and waits impatiently and as expected, there was no answer.

“ the number you have called cannot be reached, at the to be please leave a voice message-”

Hope’s body tensed up as she waited for the tone,

“Cecilia, I'm so sorry. It was a mistake, please don't hate me.”

“ if you are satisfied with your massage you can hang up, to reply to the message press 1, to delete the message, and start a new message press-” she sighs pressing the button, then puts it back in her pocket.

Meanwhile, at cicil’s house, “ sweetheart, you know you can’t hide from this forever.”

“ Who says I can't?”

“ I do, you’re not going to mope around my house all day.”

“ I just can’t see her face after what she did.”

“ You couldn’t see her face before, what’s so different now?”

“ she stepped her bonds, and k-” she tucked her head in between her folded arms, her face turning red,

“ What did she do?”

“ Look, it’s nothing. Can we talk about something else?” just as that was said her phone rang, what now, she thought.
