Family issues[3]

"And by the way, I've seen that's you've made friends with that Aphmau girl." He said winking and walking off.

I shook my head closing my locker a little loudly before walking off.

I've definitely seen better days.

Wait, no.

Cadenza has definitely seen better days.

I went to my next class, which was AP chemistry.

Aphmau sits next to me in most of my classes, and I tend to hear a bit more whispers than I usually do.

I've heard,

"Why is that cutie with that geek boy over there?"

"Why is she talking to him? What does she see in him?"

"Mother of Irene, hat kid is asking for a beating."

There has been more but that's been most frequent.

But just for the record, she didn't really talk to me.

She was too focused on what we're doing in AP Chem.

I wasn't complaining.

Little does she know she's saving me from a beating.

Falcon's got his eyes on me everywhere and more frequently just because of her.

The teacher kept blabbing off about the formula and different mixtures and whatever.

I didn't see how he saw me as a threat.

Me.

Our of all people, I'm surprised that she didn't swoon over Garroth.

She has been making an effort to say hi to me or to try make a conversation.

She still hasn't given up.

I put all of my books away before ache king my phone.

I seen the same girl in many of my AP classes walk towards me.

My Irene,

"Hey." She said her eyes wandering around.

"Hi." I replied back.

"How come you're so quiet?" She asked out of the blue.

"Um." I said biting the bottom of my lip.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to like make you uncomfortable or anything." She said holding her books a bit closer.

"No, it's fine. I'm quiet because that's just how I am." I said shrugging.

"Oh." She said loosening the grip onto her books again, seeming a bit more comfortable.

"I've heard people talk about you." She said a little quieter.
