Trouble St.

Chapter 23 ------------------- Problem solved or Problem created

"Umm, can i go to the bathroom?" I suddenly stated and left the class without letting the teacher answer.

He knows very well i was avoiding him. I ran to the nearest bathroom wanting to find a place to be alone. No-one would be in the bathroom now, most teachers usually don't allow it. I knew i was safe. I splashed cold water onto my face and stared at myself in the mirror. What have i become?

Look at me, I'm more confused than those stray dogs on the street. I can't believe I'm admitting this but I'm lost, I need comfort and help more than ever now. Ya Allah. All my thoughts were rushing through my mind as the clear shinning water droplets slid down my face. I quickly dried my face and put on a determined expression as I walked out of the bathroom. However before I could even get to the door, a haunting disgusted face appeared before me.

"Ha, what are you doing here?" She snickered.

"Leave me alone, Amelia!" I retorted. I didn't know why but i felt intimidating around her. I needed to be anyway, i couldn't let her think I was scared of her or something.

"And who do you think you are?" She spat while walking towards me in a daring manner. Was this girl looking for a round 2? Instead of answering Amelia, I strolled right past her but only to find her tugging and holding into my sleeve.

"Let go!" I demanded but she chuckled darkly. I honestly felt something scary about her from then on but i wasn't going to her any traces of that. Her looked crazy as she stared right back at me in the eye. Amelia forcefully pulled me near her and whispered more dark words into my ear.

"Don't think you're going to take my place in this school and become popular. I will destroy you." I shivered as she whispered the last part. That's what this is about? Popularity? A sly smirk appeared on her face and she suddenly let go of my arm and walked out. I didn't even notice she was still holding onto my sleeve. Amelia rapidly came to a stop as she turned her head to me with the same smirk on her evil face.

"Remember." She reminded before continuing with her walk out. I stood in complete and utter shock as i tried to rehearse in my head what had just happened. Creepy.

A loud ringing sound was got me out of my mental state and I came back to earth. Too much was happening in just a week. The ringing was the sound of the bell which signalling of class ending.

'I need to leave.' I advised myself. I wouldn't want to be running into anyone else today so the right thing was to just hurry up. Ugh, it's only the second period and i feel like garbage.

I waltzed to my locker to get stuff for my next class when I saw it. Or let me say, i saw him. When i finally thought everything was going fine too. It was a very familiar brunette but i wasn't sure it was him however as he turned his head slightly, i released my first statement was correct. Oh no, it's him. Ok, I can deal with Amelia, students and even Alfred but him, no way. I continued to cover my face with my hoodie wishing that atleast one thing would go right today. I shut my locker and i let out a shriek as i saw the one person i was avoiding most. I didn't look at James nor talk to him, i stood in my uncomfortably waiting for him to say something but he didn't. I knew i couldn't stay any longer, i was going to break down in any minute. As a result, i pushed past him as i turned to my third class. Did he come to me just to show his face?

"Wait!" I heard a cry of desperation. I turned to look at James with a strong and brave complexion but I quickly broke as his dazeling eyes got caught with mine. In such small time i felt like a statue glued to my place. At last I broke off the hypnotic state I was in with him. Why did i freeze like that?

James also seemed to be lost in his own thoughts as well. We stated nothing at each other and just stared. It was getting awkward. However before i could it by walking away, James raised his hand to reveal a crumbled up piece of paper. He handed it over to me and i grabbed it hesitantly. What was this? James slowly leaned over to me and i felt uncomfortable with him standing so close so i cautiously took a step back.
