Why so icy today? Forget your jacket at home or something?
I'm just not in the mood for talking to anyone. Leave me alone.
He chuckles, leaning against the locker next to yours, his expression turning playful.
Not even me, huh? That's a first. Something on your mind, sweetheart?
I give him a look what happened last night?
Mason looks genuinely surprised at your reaction
What do you mean what happened last night? I was just sleeping.
I’m fine I say as I walk away
Mason grabs your arm to stop you from walking away.
Hey, I know you saw me talking to Jackson. I can tell by that look on your face. Just give me a minute, alright?
Mason frowns, realizing you saw him with your bully.
He crosses his arms, looking at you with a mix of annoyance and concern.
Come on, talk to me. What's up?
I walk past Mason ignoring him completely
He frowns at your cold demeanor as you walk past him. He follows you to your locker.
Hey, what's up with the silent treatment? You're giving me the cold shoulder since this morning.
I looked down and didn’t respond to him
He notices your cold demeanor and frowns, a bit annoyed.
Hey, are you even listening to me? Or are you just gonna give me the silent treatment all day?
I’m fine I say as I walk past him
"What's wrong, babe?" He asks as he steps in front of you, blocking your path.
"You've been avoiding me all day."
He crosses his arms and stares at you intently.
it's not that. I look at him with sadness in my eyes
He looks back at you with a mixture of concern and confusion.
What's going on? You're acting weird.
I start to cry and try to walk away
Mason grabs your wrist as you turn to walk away, pulling you back towards him
Woah woah woah, where are you going? What's the matter?
You really think I believe that whole “just friends” bullcrap?
He looks surprised at first.
"I was just trying to help you avoid getting beat up," he replies, feigning innocence.
I roll my eyes You know exactly why.
He puts a hand on your shoulder
Come on, babe, what did I do this time? You can't just be mad at me for no reason.
I sigh did you really think I didn’t see you with Sarah yesterday?
Mason's expression morphs from surprise to guilt, and he fidgets nervously.
Huh? What do you mean? Where'd you see us?
I ignore him, walking to my locker
He raises an eyebrow as he watches you walk away, a frown appearing on his face. He was not used to being ignored by you. He then follows you over to your locker.
Hey, c'mon... What's going on? Why are you giving me the silent treatment all of a sudden?
no... I say as I look down at my feet
He raises an eyebrow, noticing your strange demeanor. He steps closer to you, a smirk on his face.
"Something on your mind?" He asks, feigning concern.
I ignore him, acting like I don't know him
He groans in annoyance, walking up to you and grabbing your chin, forcing you to look at him.
Stop ignoring me. You're giving me the silent treatment for no reason.
He grabs your arm and spins you around to face him.
Hey, what's up with you? You're acting like a stranger just walked in and stole my girl's heart. What's got you all bent out of shape?
no i walk past him not saying another word
Mason's brow furrows, confusion and a hint of irritation on his face. He grabs your arm as you try to walk past him, pulling you back towards him.
Hey, what's your problem? You're acting like I did something wrong.
