How Well You Know Him.

"Want me to come pick you up after?" My dad asks when he reaches the school gate and parks.

"It's alright. I'm heading to Matt's house afterwards."

He nods. "Have a good day then."

"You too dad." I say and step out of the car.

Mia runs to meet me just as I enter the gates and she hooks her arm with mine.

"What's up?" She asks.

"I'm cool." I answer her.

"That's great. I was worried you were-"

"It's a lie." We enter the building.

"What's a lie?"

"I'm not cool at all." I state. "I have a fucking headache, my head isn't in school right now, and I haven't fucking heard anything from the hospital."

"Maybe there's nothing to report to you." She says.

"Report?"

"Alex," She calls my name as we approach our lockers. "People in this kind of situations only call when something bad happens. They only call when there's a bad news to deliver."
