We walked to class together, holding hands. The warmth of her hands spread through mine and I couldn't control the small smile that makes its way to my face.
My happiness however, didn't last long as I saw Evan sitting on the second bench, right behind ours. He just finds a way to irritate me every day. Why can't he just leave me the fuck alone? As much as I didn't want to, I detached my hand from hers and started walking towards the back of the class. Bella was quick to notice this as she caught hold of my forearm and pulled me back.
"You have to sit on the first bench with me." she tugged on my arm like a little kid who wants nothing but a cone of ice cream. I wouldn't be surprised if she did it one day.
"I can't sit in front of that bastard. Let's just do this another day, hmm?" I questioned but we both know it was more of a statement.
I made my way towards the last as everyone stared at us both with hopes that a fight would erupt and it will add some spice to their boring day. Honestly, I would exchange my body with someone else's just to see how I look form other eyes and what it looks like to see a fight and just eat popcorn in the corner as the drama unfolds. Its generally just me fighting others and them ending up in the infirmary most of the times.
My knuckles itch as it begs me to deliver a punch to his poop-like face. I refrain my self from doing anything that would land me in detention since that would mean less time with Bella. I wish it was as easy to control anger as it sounds.
Clenching and unclenching your fist doesn't do shit.
As much as I want to sit with her, I know I would end up getting crankier and she would keep questioning me whether everything is alright. I took out my Math textbook and started staring at some random page.
Its is not a great way of distracting my mind but if a math textbook can help me get some sleep then why not?
After a minute, I felt someone's presence beside me. Bella.
"What?" she asked.
"Why are you sitting at the back?" I said as I turned towards her.
"How can I sit there alone? It felt really weird sitting without you." I smiled widely when she said that.
"Keep your ego in check, mister bad boy." I rolled my eyes and I held her hand as I played with her fingers. I couldn't help but think about the wonders these fingers did last night. Just thinking about it makes me hard. Now is not the time, Dave. Sthop! We waited for the teacher who was taking her own sweet time to come.
"Hey. Can I sit here?" someone asked and we both looked up. I saw that fucking prick standing in front of us.
No, it wasn't Evan. He wouldn't dare to ask that question. He likes his nose to be at the right place.
It was Steve. I hate the vibes I get from him. And what's with those eyes? Why are they so grey. Who gels their hair for school? Are those piercings fake? Who is he trying to impress? I couldn't help but pin point all the unreasonable flaws in him.
"Yeah sure."
"Suck a dick."
Bella and I said at the same time.
Bella elbowed my stomach signaling me to stop being so rude.
"Why not?" she said as she shifted on her seat to give him some space. He said 'hi' to me and I said 'Hi' back. Only and only because Bella told me to. I wouldn't even spare him a second glance if it wasn't for him being Bella's friend.
I noticed the unnecessary proximity that he was seeking whilst sitting beside her. Note to self- warn him that you are a black belt in Tae-kwon-do and judo. That might keep her away till the end of senior year.
Before, I was concerned about Bella not opening up to many people but now I feel like it was better off before. At least she kept away from these jerks. It might make me sound selfish but I am just trying to protect her.
The class started and everyone solved a few sums while I made sure that he is not trying to do something unusual while sitting beside her.
In the middle of the class, he poked Bella with the sharp end of the pencil to gain her attention. I slapped his hand away and checked her hand whether he left any scratch.
Animal fucker.
She turned to him and started to explain him a sum. It's not that I don't trust Bella. I just don't trust this guy. After a few seconds, he poked her again.
I snatched his pencil and broke it into two.
Bella frowned at me before turning back to let him borrow her pencil out of pity and also apologize from my side. This got me even more frustrated.
It was soon lunch break and before that thundercunt could talk to Bella, I pulled her out of the class, towards the canteen.
We saw Olivia and Zack bickering about how he promised to watch game of thrones together but ended up finishing it without her because it was too hard to control.
"That is so awful of you, Zack. If I was there at Olivia's place, I would never-" before Bella could even finish her sentence, Olivia sprung out of her seat and engulfed Bella in a bear hug. It was so sudden that they both would have fallen down if it wasn't for me supporting Bella from behind.
"I saw the news. Why didn't you tell before? You know we would have done anything to get you out of their at al cost." She said in urgency. Bella held her hand tightly, gently squeezing it assure her that she is fine.
"I was scared. I don't know of what but I was just conditioned that way for years."
"Oh gosh I feel like a terrible friend, right now. I should have seen some sign." Olivia says as she pouts and looks away, probably trying not to cry. She hates crying. Apparently, it irritates her because she keeps sniffing for 15 minutes straight even after she stops crying.
"Well lets just blame it on my skills to hide stuffs like these. How good do you think I will be if I murder someone and attempt to hide the body?" Bella jokes and chuckles awkwardly, even though she knows none of us find it funny at this point of time. We wouldn't until some time passes and we adjust to it completely.
"What do u think of standup comedy as a career, Isabella?" Zack asks sarcastically and to that, we all chuckle.
"Hey, I can be funny when I want to. I just need to have that environm-" she was cut off when Zack engulfs her in a hug. "Yeah, yeah. If that what you want to believe. And I am sorry for the other day." he says as he pulls away.
"Mind running me down the list of things you might be apologizing for?" Olivia questions with sass.
"Get a life." He responds to her and turns towards Bella. "The other day, when I randomly touched your back and also laughed at some lame stuff that I said. That was wrong of me." he says as he looks down at his shoes.
I can't help but wonder if he is looking at them because they are his new and favorite shoes or he is embarrassed about something. Knowing Zack, it is likely to be the former.
"Don't apologize, Zack. You didn't know. I don't even remember that happening." Bella says. She is too forgiving that it gets me worried even though it shouldn't.
Zack nods and gives her a smile that screams innocence.
"Well you see, she might have forgiven you, but I have still not forgiven you. How about-"
"Fuck off, I am not going to your Nana's farm again. There are just poops in poopland."
"Didn't you take that line from Fifty shades?" Olivia asks, bewildered that he watched it already.
"When did you watch that? I thought we were gonna watch it together." She asks again, with a frown on her face.
"Yes, we were, but you said you got your periods and wanted to postpone it so I just watched it with-"
"WITH?!!"
"With Dave." he said and everyone, including the students who had suddenly got interested in our conversation since they heard 'fifty shades' turned towards me. Some of them were giving me a pointed looks, already cooking up the rumors they can spread about me.
Its too early to deal with this.
"Look, he forced me into doing it alright! I have nothing to say. I would rather touch my own shit than to watch it with him again."
"I can't believe you did that though." Olivia mumbles, slightly relaxed that it wasn't as bad as she had imagined in her fucked up mind.
"It's a part of my dark past, can we just leave it behind already?"
"Alright," Olivia concludesand turns towards Zack with a glare, "You are so coming to the farm with me."
