I am rooted in one place because standing in front of me is non other than Reed.
Reed Anthony parker Is number one jock and asshole of Metro Major high school, well everyone and the football team is actually an asshole, but Reed is another level of bad news and I sure as hell don't want to get involved with someone like him, so I quickly apologize because It was my fault this even happened.
But he just looks me up and down with a scoff before walking off, I can hear the laughter that erupts from his friends around him, but I just turn to Raven grabbing her hand and walking the opposite way.
We both get into the class and Thank God the teacher isn't here yet. " What a jerk" Raven says as she takes a seat besides me.
"Tell me about it." The class goes on for about an hour when it finally ends Raven and I walk are Separate ways to our classes, but I stop at my locker to get some books , I try my best to scoop them up in one go , as I stagger towards my class, and just as I am about to take the last turn leading to my class I crash into someone, the force sending me falling backward.
A small, strangled sound escapes my lips as I loose the grip on the books. They leave my hands and hit the floor, I silently pray they aren't damaged , I glance up to see who I bumped into and I can't help it when my eyes widen at the sight in front off me.
Because standing in front of me is Reed, what rotten luck, how do I bump into him twice in one day and the first day of senior year.
He stares down at me, not even bothering to help and I flinch under his gaze. His presence is enough to set me on high alert, and I find my self reeling away.
"Sorry" I mumble. Trying my best to carry the heavy books in my hand across my chest.
Reed cocks his head to the side and I am about walking past him when he says . "I didn't get that" ,and I know he heard me perfectly well. I mutter a quick sorry and before I can decide against it my mouth can't help it self and a "Deal with it" escapes.
I try to walk faster hoping he didn't hear me but he catches my wrist, not too mention really tight, so tight that it actually hurts. "Ow, let go"!! I say almost jumping from the pain.
" Look at me and apologize like you actually mean it." He says and I arch an eyebrow.
"What?? Let go of my wrist ." I say and he just smirks.
"Your going to apologize first". He says staring the anger I am trying so had not to let get out.
"No, Your going to let go first, or forget about it." I say with an angry tone.
" What makes you think I'd listen to you"? He says.
I let out a laugh, " What makes you think you can order me around, I say frustration evident in my voice.
" Do you know who I am"?
I scoff . "I'm I suppose to know, because I don't." I lie.
Obviously I know who he is, I've known him since I was seven and he moved into the house next door from mine, earning the title of my beloved neighbor, but it still doesn't change the fact that he is been a dick. I'd rather make an enemy off him than bow down like more than half off the school population does.
"Your going to apologize," He says through gritted teeth. The hall ways aren't filled up but I notice people pilling up, and if this keeps on we would both end up in detention and plus...I have a fucking class to get too.
I take a breath allowing my anger and pride to fall. " Ok I'm sorry " I say and his hands lets go off my wrist. " Yeah I'm sorry your a rude dick without any manners I say, quickly making my way past him and towards my class.
I can hear his loud curses through the hallway but I don't stop to acknowledge him for even a second as I rush into my class. My heart is beating so fast. I can't believe I talked back to Reed , and just then the realization of what I just did came rushing into me, this was senior year and absolutely no one talks back to Reed. I can't help but think I'm going to get bullied through out my senior year. I am quickly pulled out of my thought when Ms. Sarah walks into the class.
I pull out my note pad and a pen to jot down what she is saying but then a sharp pain courses through my wrist I look down to see my wrist and realize that It's red and swollen almost looking bruised. Great now my wrist is damaged. I manage to endure the pain through out the class, but when the class is done the pain had just multiplied.
I pack my books wincing at the pain, as I make my way to my locker I notice Raven Stepping out of her class and immediately joining me, we walk together to our locker where Jason is already standing , he starts making a joke about his class while I put my books into my locker but just then I feel someone yank my wrist and hold it up making me let out a little scream from the pain.
" What happened" I look up to see Jason holding my wrist , his features etched with worry. I fidget under his gaze, not wanting to tell him, because I know that if I tell Him who did this, he would drag me over and demand an apology from him. It was already lunch and I didn't want any attention.
" Damn , I think it swelling up" Raven said making me to look down at my wrist and she was right it really was. " Just forget it, I'm going to the nurses office to get this checked out." I said.
"I'm coming with you" I hear Jason say before he trails behind me.
---------------
"And how did this happen", the nurse asks me while she wraps a bandage around my wrist."
" Um...... I fell."
" You fell? You actually expect me to believe that.
I think of the next lie to tell, when the nurses office slams open with Raven walking inside. "Why didn't you tell us Reed did this to you?? She asks.
I try to give her a sign to shut the hell up, but it's already too late.
"Reed did this?? Jason asks.
" No no, he just held my wrist and his grip was a little to tight, so it somehow left a bruise and it wasn't really his fault , I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into him." I shrug with a nervous laugh trying to play it cool, but Jason doesn't stop staring and the look on his face telling me he isn't going to let it go.
And before I know it, he just leaves the nurses office with out saying a single word. I try my best to stop him, but he just ignores me.
I look over at Raven and she just gives me a sorry shrug.
"Don't worry ,I don't think he'd do anything rash, let's go to the cafeteria , bet your hungry." She says.
"But why didn't you tell us what happened "She asks on our way to the cafeteria.
I gulp, not wanting to get into detail. " I don't know, I really didn't want to make a big deal out of it and plus I knew Jason wasn't going to let it go, and didn't want any unnecessary attention.
