The Day He Called Me A Leech I Left

by Ladywoffie

The first month of school, I found out the whole school was calling me a leech behind my back.That vicious nickname was coined by my childhood friend Sebastian's new influencer friend, Chloe.Because as far as they were concerned, I always rode to school in Sebastian's car, spent his Venmo, and lived near the old Rivers family estate.But that wasn't the truth.I brought my ruined homework to Sebastian and asked why he let them smear me.He just laughed."It's a high school joke. Chloe just likes to joke around. Don't be so sensitive.""Besides, you're always riding in my car, following me around. People thinking that... well, it's kind of normal."I froze. Cold went through my whole body.So this. Over a decade of quiet company and quiet protection. In his eyes, I was just a leech.I didn't explain anymore. I applied for early graduation. Off to Columbia University.But when he found out I was leaving, Sebastian went insane, searching everywhere for me."Maya, where are you going?!"
