"hey clumsy, we meet again same position"

I groaned internally hearing his sweet annoying voice, sweet?  It's official I'm losing my mind.

I so badly wanted to give him a sarcastic reply but seeing the crowd that was formed around us, I try to walk around him but Cassandra grabbed my hand making me stand beside her.
I'm so gonna kill her for that later.

"Well, Mr arrogant you are always in my way" I replied hoping a miracle would take me away from this situation.

"You might want to go and eat clumsy, I don't think you can handle me in calculus later" he winked stressing the later.

He walks away and I start considering leaving and calling sick,  Principal Hayden can call my parents and I don't really want that. I sighed feeling defeated and made my way to the cafeteria ignoring the many eyes on me as I walk, this is going to be a long day and I know that.

I ate lunch in silence, kind of just liked shoved the spaghetti and meatballs In my mouth. I thanked God that Cassandra didn't try to persuade me to tell her what the hell happened back there.

The school was going bonkers with gossip trying to figure out why the new bad boy is talking to the invisible nerd, or 'scholarship' air quote that as Valarie calls me,  wondering why, that's a topic for another day.

"Soph, you know attacking your mouth with food won't explain why the hot new guy calls you clumsy,  and apparently you call him Mr arrogant and you didn't bother to tell your bestfriend" scratch that, she is not letting me live until I explain.

I groaned and dropped the fork that I am grateful didn't injure my mouth. "Listen, I promise to explain later if you just let me have a little peace for now at least-" the sound of the annoying school bell cut me off. I groaned for like the millionth time in an hour plus or minus.

"Come on I'll walk you to class, the stares are making me uncomfortable, and that says alot" Cassandra said picking up her bag, and that comment was so true, if she couldn't handle it, I'm a million times more uncomfortable, that is even an understatement to what I'm feeling right now.

I nodded and smiled at her, she is so awesome and sweet, that's why she's my best friend.

"Kayla is so lucky she has drama club and doesn't have to deal with all these eyes" She murmured as we passed a group of juniors still chatting in the halls like the bell didn't just ring.

She stopped at the door to calculus class and gave me a reassuring smile and a quick hug before rushing to Economics class.

They were a few students in the class when I finally muster the courage to enter, and yeah, like expected they kept staring at me like I'm some sort of super model or maybe an angel, maybe even Dracula, being me, I bowed my head and walked to my sit.

I hate the stares, no actually I just hate the attention these people are giving me, the ones I need to give me attention didn't.

I didn't know when the teacher entered or the other students but I was frightened when I felt someone's hand on my back, I sat up faster than the speed of light to see the calculus teacher Mrs Fisher looking at me with concern in her eyes.

"Sophie dear, are you okay?" she asked in a soft voice, and I nod once.
"If you are not well, you can go to the infirmary and get checked" she suggested and I shake my head finally finding my voice.

"I'm fine, thank you" I answered a little above a whisper.

The door opened and all the class turned to look at the door, there he was, the reason for my distress walking without a care in the world.

"Mr Lloyd, so glad you finally grace us with your presence, care to explain why you are late?" she asked in her small calm voice that fits her petite frame perfectly.

"Actually ma'am, no" he answered taking lazy steps before finally sitting in the back seat but not before winking at me, my stomach turned and it felt like a thousand butterflies were playing.

Trying to ignore the fast beating of my heart, I turn to Mrs Fisher who was still dazed by his nonchalant attitude.

She looked at me and I managed giving her a half hearted smile, she strolled back to the front of the class.

Stealing a quick glance at Mr arrogant, he looks more bored than he usually does. I've only known him for two days wait, I don't even know him.

Trent and Joel walk in standing near the door looking for a place to sit and ignoring Mrs Fisher's killer glare,  they walk up and sit directly behind me, I'm officially dead now.

Not good enough, I know but pls hold on a little, vote and comment, it'll make my day.
