This was fairly easy to do since she hardly ever talked to them to begin with. And whenever anyone outside of the Trinity dared to bring it up or ask for her [i]feelings[/i] on what Kavi called her, she simply shot them a look that made them regret asking. Chanel wanted to put the whole incident behind her and only focus on the things that were important for the remainder of the school year; Kavi Salvador and his love life surely weren't one of them. [color=#D2652C]"I honestly don't even care anymore,"[/color] Chanel had told her older brother Andre over the phone just a few days after it all went down. [color=#D2652C]"Of course I was mad at first, who wouldn't be? It took everything in me not to turn around and show him what the fuck [i]CoCo[/i] can really do. But if anything it just proves to me that Kavi is exactly the kind of guy I thought he was, and I don't need to risk losing my scholarships over someone that isn't even worth it. It's above me now."[/color] Instead of focusing on the negative, Chanel put all of her energy into dance, cheerleading, fashion, and maintaining the solid friendships she'd already had. It was due to that last reason in particular that Chanel was actually excited about the Valentine's Day dance being focused more on friendships than romantic relationships; she'd have yet another opportunity to get all dressed up and hang out with one of her besties before they'd be forced to go their separate ways for college. Oh, it [i]totally[/i] had nothing to do with the fact that Chanel was very much single and hadn't even been talking to anyone since the beginning of the school year. Definitely not. As usual, Chanel had sat in seat at the center of the room when the Senior class was called to yet another assembly. The young woman thought it was odd that this one wasn't held in the auditorium, but understood the reasoning behind it. She'd passively listened to Mrs. Sanders speak as she scrolled through Instagram on her cell phone, and was one of the first students to leave the room when they were finally dismissed. [color=#D2652C]"Where in the hell did you go..."[/color] Chanel said aloud as her eyes scanned the crowd of students for Julie MacMillan. She gave up looking after a few minutes, and decided to just head off to lunch period alone. As she walked in the direction of the cafeteria, part of her wondered if she should just skip lunch altogether and smoke the last of Carter's gift in her car to avoid having to sit alone. Chanel was just about to give into this idea when she spotted none other than Sunshine Hollingsworth walking the halls not too far ahead of her; Chanel immediately quickened her pace, and didn't stop until she was walking right beside her longtime friend. [color=#D2652C]"Hey girl,"[/color] Chanel said as she wrapped her arm around Sunshine's. [color=#D2652C]"Mind if I sit with you at lunch?"[/color] [/indent][/indent][/indent] [/color]
