Decans P.O.V

Tuesday:
Nothing really happened today, Fresh wasn't here, which sucks, but it wasn't horrible. Still, Mark won't stop looking at me all creepy like. I ignore him and work mostly with Heather.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

Wednesday:

Fresh's P.O.V
I went into home room and immediately found and hugged Decay.

"Wow, what's with the hug Fresh?" Decay asked me.

"Well I just wanted to hug my best friend that I haven't seen in 3 days!"

Decans is about to respond when the bell ringed, telling us to go to first period.

We get to our seats and the teacher puts something on the projector. Great, a movie. I thought to myself. As I watch the teacher set everything up, Decans hands me her notebook filled with everything we have learned in class and everything we've already done with our project. Say what you want about her, but you will never find anyone as organized as Decay. She even takes better notes then me, and it's very hard to beat my note taking skills. I look over all the pages she has of the notes, it's not a whole load of stuff, and the comments and drawings she has on specific content, to help her remember, are really helpful for me as well, I'm really enjoying learning the stuff. I'm reading the notes when Decay suddenly taps me on the arm. I look over at her and she hands me another notebook of hers. I expect more notes, but instead I'm greeted to a weird question.

Can I come over to your house today?

I'm taken back. Usually when she wants to come over she tells me she might be coming over, goes home, and then comes over. My mom always lets Decay come to our house, since she so polite and respectful. But this is different, why is she now asking if she can come over, when she already knows that she could just break into our house in the middle of the night and none of us would really care. I look over at her, thinking that she's just joking, but instead she has a serious look on her face.

Of course Decay, ya just have to go home to ask ya ma if it's okay!

I returned the notebook to her and waited to see her reaction. The happy expression I was expecting to see, was more sad and unsure. She would begin to write something, only to then erase the whole thing. As I waited for a response I looked to see what everyone else in the class was watching, it was just some nature documentary, about things we all should know already. I looked back at Decay to see her handing me the notebook again.

No, I meant can I go with y'all, after school!

For the second time today I was surprised by Decans. Why does she not want to go home? So many questions circulated through my mind.

Why can't you go home and ask your mom?

I gave her back the journal, but then instantly regretted it. Were my words to intrusive? Well I can't take it back now. I watch the documentary, not wanting to look Decans in the eyes. As I do I get a solid glance at Mark, and he's fricken staring at Decay! After a solid minute of staring at her he looks at me and then immediately turns to face the front of the room like I didn't just catch him giving Decay a creepily long stare. I feel a pressure on my arm and turn to look at Decans. I took the notebook and read it.

My mom told me that my dad might be there when I come home, and I really don't want to see him. Also my mom said I could go to your house.

I starred at the paper for what seemed like forever. How do I reply back to this?! She's so scared of her dad, her fricken DAD, that she doesn't want to go home! I realized that I was taking forever and quickly replayed with a simple "ya, you can ride with us!" I thought it was a stupid way of replying to a important piece of information like that. But what I got back was a shocker to me.

Thank you.

I read it and could already feel her smile before I even looked up and saw it. Of course, what was I thinking! Decans didn't need a complicated answer, all she needed was a simple answer, and I gave a simple answer.

Hey guys, I know that I haven't been updating this story much, and the reason for that is that I didn't know what to do with the story, and had to change a lot of what I had initially planned out. I'll put out a chapter of the minor things that I have changed. Additionally I have chosen to actually name the chapters, instead of just having, "A few months ago part ???"

But anyway, I hope that you liked this chapter, I wanted to make it longer, but that would have only taken longer, thank you to JackytheSkeleton for helping me with that decision. If you have any questions or ideas for the next chapter comment them please, it really helps.

Bye ✌️😌
