As the bell ranged I didn't know what to do or say to Nathan.
I just grabbed my bookbag and went inside the school.
I was going to put my bookbag in my locker but I thought it would be best to keep it with me.
I really need to start using my locker my bookbag is heavy.
When I walked into biology I immediately saw Barry sitting at the desk that he doesn't even sit at anymore.
I walked over to him.
"This is no longer your seat Barry" I stated to him.
"You got some explaining to do" he reminded.
I sighed "Bare it really wasn't as bad as it got played out to be. Nathan and these drugged out old guys got into a argument when I was on the phone with my mom. When we left Cascade the old guys jumped him and lighting blasted the parking lot sending a guy flying through the diner window."
Barry shook his head rapidly "WAIT WAIT WAIT BACK UP. Lightning? How does lighting blast you? Lightning can't send a guy through a DINERS WINDOW."
Be louder Barry, I don't think china's heard you yet.
"So I am a liar then?" I asked even though I already know the truth about that.
"No I am not saying that. I am just questioning what you saw" he answered.
"Then go ask the police about it" I snapped.
"Did I do something?" he asked with a frown.
"No it's just" I took a long breath "I am tired of reexplaininh myself It's annoying. I just want to get over this situation but I can't because—" I stop myself before I say something stupid.
"Because what" he egged on.
"Being grounded, my mom won't let me forget about it and now I am joining cheer to make my mom happy so that means I got to stay after school for that bs."
Wow that really sold him, so believeable dre.
"Your joining cheer? You hate cheer."
"I am trying to make my mom happy by doing this. Don't judge me."
"I am not judging you and I am sorry for bringing it up again. I just want to be the person you come to when things like this happened. I thought you trusted me." he frowns.
"I do trust you and I am sorry that I didn't tell you about it when it happened. From now on no more lies, no more secrets. Deal?"
I stuck my pinkie finger out.
He laughed at how idiotic I am.
we crossed pinkies.
"Deal." he said and I felt bad.
Why do I feel like I can't tell him the truth?
***
twenty minutes into class and Nathan hasn't said a word to me.
Mr. Morales is still going on about mitosis and some other chromosomes that i don't know of.
I try my best not to look at him but it's kind of hard when his shirt is not all the way on. The shirt he has is over is head but that's it.
I can't keep paying attention to Nathan, I can't keep thinking about what's going on with me because I don't have any answers, and I don't know what the hell Mr. Morales is going on about.
I put my head down in frustration. I did it a little to hard because it made a loud thump noise causing people to snicker at me.
I lifted my hand up and flipped off the entire class.
At this point I'm annoyed.
"Dre." Mr Morales said in a stern voice. I looked up at him, he waves at me to come up to the front.
"Everyone go through your text book and read pages 76 to 90" he announced to the whole class.
I finally get up and walk up to him.
"yeah?" I asked to annoyed to be polite.
"Is everything ok? You seem a little...off and with everything you've been through I want to make sure your ok."
"I'm fine I just have a lot on my mind."
"Well if there is anything you need don't hesitate to ask." he replied with a smile.
"ok" I turned around to walk back to my seat but then remembered. "Uhh I don't know if I will be able to do the project with Nathan because I am grounded so i'm not allowed to go anywhere other than school."
"Ok. How about I push back the due date for another two weeks" he asked .
"yeah that's good, thanks" I said while walking back to my desk.
As I sit down I feel Nathan eyes on me but I don't look his way. I just put my head back down on the table, more softly this time.
"What were you guys talking about?" Nathan asked.
"My inability to be a normal human being. And our project got pushed back for another two weeks." I stated
"I don't like the way he looks at you Dre." I snapped my head up at him.
"What do you mean?" I questioned
"He looks at you in some way... I don't know it's just weird. It's like he's trying to see if something happens to you." he addressed.
I look at Nathan and look at Mr. Morales who is writing in some book.
"Yeah it's definitely weird" I said.
Who the hell is this guy?
