Chapter 7 The Encounter
We reach our next class, and wow it's English. Great. I sigh as Jason enters the classroom and I follow behind him, avoiding at making any eye contact with anyone until I get into my seat. Opening my notebook, I attempt in listening to the teacher. Well...I try as I write a few strategies to do in Diablo on a spare piece of paper, passing it back and forth with Jason without anyone caring. Perks of sitting at the back I guess.
"So class, I know this is sudden but I am setting an assignment related to the reading you've done today," the teacher starts saying. I kinda freeze as I was grabbing the piece of paper back. All the students stare at the teacher as he continues to explain this project thing.
"You will be paired up with the student beside you, it's worth 20% of your grade so make sure you catch up with your reading. If not, well then you fail. End of. Everyone will be emailed the details as class is nearly done. Good luck everyone and get out of my class." I sigh in relief that Jason is my partner for this. We can get this done quickly.
I pack up my stuff, placing them in my backpack, waiting for Jason as well. We both prefer not to rush and allow everyone to get through first. And by that, I mean I want to avoid Joyce at all costs. On my way out the door, I end up bumping into her anyway.
"Sorry", I mutter quietly.
"Hold up!" She says.
"What? I said I was sorry didn't I?" I lash out.
"I didn't hear you," She sneers.
"That's your problem." I respond.
"Just say you're sorry" the teacher says.
"I'm sorry for bumping into you." I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm. She smirks in triumph, while I try not to do anything violent. Her smirk doesn't help though. I walk out the door with a murderous gaze in my eyes.
"What's got you so pissed?" Jason half jokes.
"Nothing," I respond in a gruff manner. He stops asking because he realizes it must be related to my past. We go to our separate ways after that and I start to brood over what happened earlier.
