"Laura,was it?" said Jonathan as we the library main entrance.
"Umm,yes,"I said nervously.
"Look,I appreciate you being my baby sitter and all but I'm gonna have to disappoint you,because there's no way I'm going into a library,much less hanging out with a junior," he said with a stupid grin. "You can go ahead though. You seem like a nerd anyway. When your principal asks,tell her I fell into a toilet and got flushed away."
Jerk!
As he spoke,I couldn't help but notice his mouth. Of course,he had perfect teeth! Perfectly straight,perfectly white. Why would I have ever expected otherwise? I couldn't look even a fraction as flawless as he was even if I took five hours to brush my teeth.
"You're a jerk,you know that right?"I said angrily.
"Yep,"he said as he walked away backward. "Unless you want to come with me?"
"Never in a million years!"I said.
"Bye nerd!"he said then turned and headed out.
I felt my insides burning up. He was not only a handsome jerk but also an insensitive little prick. The nerve that comes with thus gender!
I went into the library but despite my efforts to study,I couldn't help but think about how angry Jonathan had made me.
I swore that the next time I saw him I'd slap that stupid grin off his face and show him who's boss.
*************************************************************************
The bell rang for our lunch break and everyone rushed out of the lab. Bella and I were among the last people to leave the lab as we didn't want to struggle with our classmates who crowded at the exit.
"The nerve of that guy!"said Bella after I filled her in with details of how Jonathan did me dirty.
"Tell me about it! And you know what's worse? He is the same guy i was telling you about"I continued.
"The one that you like!"Bella exclaimed a little louder than she was supposed to.
"Shut the f*ck up!"I said,covering her mouth.
"Sorry," she whispered with a stupid laugh. "The one you like?"
"First of all,gross. I don't like him. I never will as a matter of fact. The feeling I will have towards him is and will always be pure hate!"
"Whatever you say,bestie," she answered,still not convinced.
We took our stuff and headed to the cafeteria for lunch. We took our trays and went to our usual table.
It was not long before a bunch of loud seniors walked in. A group of five boys,each with a cheerleader at hand.
"Here comes trouble,"Bella said.
"What's up losers!" one of the guys as he slammed our faces into our food.
They then walked away,laughing and giving each other high fives as if they had made an achievement.
"Oh great!" I said as I struggled to clean my face with my hands. "Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm okay," Bella answered. "You didn't expect me to die,did you? I grew used to this already so it's no big deal."qàqq
But she was wrong. It was a big deal. The biggest.
The group of five had Nathan, their self appointed leader, Leo,Nathan's deputy, Hardin ,the drug dealer, Noah ,the muscle, and Jerry ,the party animal. Since I came to this school,they've been the biggest jerks. They thrive in seeing people suffer.
Bella and I have been their victims since we set foot in here. If it wasn't our faces being slammed on our lunch trays, it was our books being knocked to the ground. Why you ask? We also have no idea. But I've always felt as if Nathan had a thing for Bella but he'd rather be caught dead rather than date a nerd.
We got up from our seats and took our trays to the bin. We then ran into the bathroom to clean ourselves up.
"Bunch of dicks!" Bella said angrily as she struggled to wipe some food from her hair.
"I can't wait for them to just graduate and leave us alone!" I added, having finished cleaning the mess from my face and currently using paper towels to dry my face.
"They'll never graduate," Bella said. "You'll see."
Once we were done,the bell rang and we went to our next class.
History,great! My least favorite class.
Lucky for me though because our history teacher came in and left us in groups discussing the history of Alexander the Great.
Forty five minutes into the discussion,the bell rang for the next and final class. One which Bella and I didn't share because whereas I was in Art class, she was in Music class.
Art class was smooth. Today our art teacher,Mr Collins, asked us to make a painting of an animal which,in case of reincarnation, one would like to come back as.
I drew a white cat with blue sparkly eyes. Cats are my favorite animal and if anything, I'd wish to come back as one.
After art class,Bella and I met where we had parked our bikes and cycled back home.
"See you tomorrow cow!" Bella said as she diverted to go towards her house.
"See yah!" I answered as I continued to cycle towards our house
On my way there,a speeding vehicle caused me to lose balance and fall off my bike. I picked myself up and cursed angrily at the careless driver who had no remorse for doing what he or she had done.
I got on my bike after dusting myself and cotinued with the journey home.
I was about to reach my house when I spotted the same car parked by the side of the road, near the Richard's house.
"Son of a bitch!"I said once I realised that it probably belonged to Jonathan and that he did that intentionally.
I badly wanted to scratch the car but I held back because there were people around and anyone who saw me would definitely tell on me. So I swallowed my rage and cycled into our lawn. I opened the garage door and put my bike inside. After closing the garage door behind me,I used another door to go into the main house.
"Mom?" I called but nobody responded.
"Aiden? Dad?"
Still no response.
Nobody was home.
i went up to my room to change and put my bag. Later, I went down into the kitchen to make myself a snack as I waited for my parents to come back.
I had finished making my peanut butter sandwich when I heard the doorbell ring.
I stopped what I was doing and went to the door to see who it was.
Upon opening the door,I was dumb shocked to see Jonathan.
"What do do you want?" I asked angrily as I remembered how he made me fall off my bike earlier.
"What's with the attitude?" he asked with the same stupid grin he had in school. "Are you on your period?"
"Jerk!" I said as I slammed the door on his face.
The audacity that comes with this guy beats me! He hasn't any remorse despite him being nothing but mean to me. Then he comes to my house and asks if I'm on my period! What an asshole!
I had not moved far from the door when I heard him ring the door bell again. This time, I chose to ignore. But he persisted. Ringing it repeatedly till it became too annoying to ignore.
I angrily opened and said , "What's your problem?"
