Hailey's POV

School was weird today. I mean it started off okay but there was this tension around the school that I couldnt shake off.

Everyone felt it.

I know they feel it because we are all just quietly observing, minding our business. Nobody wants the tension aimed at them, definitely not me.

I am not one for confrontations or fights. I am a proud coward who will bury her head in a book to avoid whatever violence that wants a piece of this.

"Hailey?" Wendy calls out to me. I look up at her, waiting to hear what she has to say.

"Thomas is outside and he's asking to see you." She says to me and I don't even pack my bags, I just run out of the cafeteria, to see my friend.

I run through the corridors at a speed I never knew I had and I was not even out of breath. Must be too excited to see Thomas that my body has me thinking I'm fit and fast.

There he was.

Sitting on one of the benches outside. He was slouching, his hands covering his head and  the closer I got, I could hear low sobs.

"Thomas?" I say and he looks up immediately.

Thomas jumps up and pulls me in for a hug. I oblige, jumping right in as well. His scent throws me off, making me pull away from him to search for any injuries and right on his face was a busted lip and a black eye.

I could smell blood.

How I know that this was blood is something I will deal with later, but now this, his bruised face, was saddening and I have to make sure that my friend is okay first before anything else
