Chapter 29
"Babe-..."
"No Jake I can't do it I'm sorry". Maybe I could just miss school today. But I already told them I was coming in. Damn it.
"I'll drop you away from the school so no one will see. How does that sound?". I must admit it sounded great considering I was freezing. I couldn't feel my toes. What other option did I have?
"Okay". Getting in I put my seat belt on and continued to sip on my coffee.
"Are you really bothered about what other people think?". He asked starting the car back up and driving off.
"Not really but you have to see it from my point of view. I don't want girls to hate me because they think I'm ruining their chance with you. And that's what they'll think. Even though there is nothing going on between us. Girls are mean when they're jealous". He started laughing.
"And I'd rather the last 6 months I have to be here be pleasant and stop laughing at me". I groaned.
He stopped but I could see the grin he was wearing.
"I just want an easy time here and for people not to think I'm trying to steal their potential husband". Shaking his head he pulled up about a block away from the school.
"You need me to pick you up after?". He asked.
"No but thank you". Unclipping my seat belt I opened the door and got out.
"If you need a lift home please just text me".
"Bye Jake". Closing the door I walked the short distance to the school.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I had managed to make it in for 2nd period. Sitting in English I could feel the stares already. This is what I was talking about. They sure know how to make someone feel uncomfortable for doing nothing wrong.
"Okay class today I want you to focus on yourself. I want you to write a personal statement. I want you to put in your goals, your motivation, likes and dislikes but I want it written proper. No bullet points and no lists. I have to nip out for 5 but I'll be back and no talking".
Glancing down at my hand I made a face. How was I suppose to write a personal statement when I couldn't even write.
"Yo new girl".
I could here him I just wasn't interest.
"Hey". He whispered.
Again not interested.
"I'm talking-...."
"She obviously doesn't want to talk to you so leave her alone". The girl in front of me said. "Besides shes way out of your league". She laughed.
Glancing to side I noticed the boy was glaring but for the rest of the class he didn't bother me. He didn't even look at me.
Mr Gallagher had yet to return and there wasn't much time left to this class. Everyone else had there heads down writing away.
"Okay everyone we will continue this tomorrow. The next two classes will consist of this. I want feeling in there. I want to be able to read it and know exactly who wrote it. Start packing your stuff away and get ready for your next class".
Putting my books away in my bag I pulled on my jacket and waited for the bell to ring. I had chemistry next so at least I had Ryan to sit with. Taking out my phone I made sure Mr Gallagher couldn't see it. He seemed like the type of teacher who would confiscate it. 'I'll pick you up today honey. Jacob is here knocking down the kitchen. Takeout for dinner okay with you?'
After quickly texting her back I slipped my phone into my front pocket.
"I hope that wasn't a cell phone Miss Wilson".
"No it-..."
Saved by the bell. I was almost out the door but of course he stopped me.
"Ah Miss Wilson".
"Yes?".
"Cell phones aren't allowed to be used during class. Don't let it happen again".
Why did I have a feeling he was picking on me?! I had only been here 2 days. Nodding my head I about turned and made my way to chemistry.
