Perfectly broken

The first spoken encounter

i saw him today, from down the hall his troubled baby blue eyes hiding between the silver almost blonde hair that they lay beneath. I don't think he noticed me looking but then again who ever does?

Okay I should probably introduce myself because your probably wondering who is this lady and who is she talking about. well, I'm Cassandra i am a 18 year old girl with piercing green eyes hidden by my long black hair. I'm not very pretty at least i don't think so and no one has told me otherwise. and the handsome man in talking about is trey he's a grade above me but we have all the same classes. I was the smarted kid in my junior class even given the opportunity to graduated early.

Anyways I was sitting in history class today usually my favorite class but today I couldn't pay attention probably because we got new partners today and I ended up with trey and his on again off again girlfriend Mal. she hates me and i don't particularly like her either. we used to be best friends but then puberty hit and she became pretty and popular and I'm just me. our project for this semester is world war 2 . it is so easy for me because I am always learning about it on my own. but of course Mal has to be in charge. and what she has decided for us to make a play about the holocaust that was happening at the same time.

Of course I had to play the Jew or the prisoner that was in the concentration camp. Mal played the Nazi because she just had to be control, Trey on the other hand was kind of on my team you could say. he was playing a character who was helping the Jews in secret like a guy we had heard about in class I can't remember his name Oskar something I think.

Anyway back to my dilemma. they were on again so that meant that she was all over him. like seriously I'm trying to do my work and next thing i know i hear her giggling as she's all kissy kissy on him. I can tell he's annoyed but there is nothing i can do about it. Finally he shoves her off of him and walks over to my desk. My eyes dart back down on my work which is drawing my prisoner tattoo for the costume. He sits down in the empty desk next to me. He sighs and my breath hitches that quick i try to hide my face hoping he didn't notice.

"Hey can I borrow some of that paper and a pencil?"

I look around for a moment looking to see if there was anyone else he could be talking to. everyone seemed busy except for Mal who was being a complete slut in the corner trying to get his attention back on her. Touching herself in ways that if the teacher was paying attention would probably get her suspended. Trey was oblivious to it. i realized that when I turned my head back his direction his eyes were on me. I gasp softly in surprise.

"Cassie?'

I must look crazy because when he called me that i felt myself float. Normally i hate that nickname but when he says it... i like it

"sorry" with shaky hands i hand him a piece of black paper and a white pencil. i am guessing that he wants to work on his Nazi arm band. he grins at me and i just giggle softly immediately regret it once he heard it. I was kicking myself until his smile gets wider. Oh no he's laughing at me.

"Cute" he looks down and sets off to work saying nothing else. I grin down at my paper beaming to myself. He thinks that my laugh is cute. I slip into my thoughts about it when suddenly my papers are shoved off of my desk and my tin of colored pencils clatter on the floor. I look up through my dark lashes to see Mal towering over me. A wicked grin is plastered on her face.

"Oops" her voice thick with what sounds like anger, I start to get up to pick up my things. apparently though that's not fast enough for her because she shoves me out of my seat and I land right at Treys feet. she snickers and sits right on my desk. The desk not the seat she just shoved me out of. I look up at Trey in pure embarrassment. He's staring down at me. I get up and run out of the room leaving all my stuff there. I run through the halls tears streaming silently down my face. This isn't the first time Mal has done something like this and normally I don't care but today was different it was right in front of him. I run to my normal spot that I hide in which is a small nook in the abandoned part of the school. No one comes here. I found it on pure accident one day running from Mal freshman year. That's right I been dealing with this for that long!
