Taste of Love - (Gal Gadot)

13

I bolted out of bed the moment I had realized I was at least 30 minutes late. Last night was a hell of a rollercoaster ride, leaving me feeling all types of emotions, but once I had safely made it back home, I collapsed on my bed, and fell asleep right away.

--

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. How did I manage to sleep through my alarm?" I whispered to myself, it only took seconds later for flashbacks from last night to cave into my mind, from my phone cracking, to finding out about Gal's pregnancy, to hanging out with Chris for hours. It was too much for my mind to process but I didn't have time to sit here and piece the puzzle from yesterday, as I rushed to my bathroom, and got myself ready as quickly as I could.

I decided to wear ripped jeans with a black hoodie. It was plain, but I had no time to put in the effort to look good whilst I was already late to first period. After washing my face, brushing my teeth, and putting on slight makeup, I ran down the stairs, stopping as I debated whether to grab my skateboard or not. But after thinking about it, it was only going to slow me down, I needed to hurry.

So I ran, my legs were starting to ache in pain and annoyance, my lungs started to burn as my mouth was drying up but I couldn't stop, I couldn't get into any more trouble than I knew I was already in.

The hallways were empty, first class was almost over, but I made my way there with sweat covering my forehead, as I glanced at the students whom were already facing me. I looked at my teacher, my eyes widening as I faced Ms. Tucker whom wasn't surprised to say the least.

"Oh, how nice of you to finally join us" she started off, her voice blank, as well as her now facial expression. "We had a very important announcement. Ask your classmates for further information about everything you had missed."

"You're the teacher here, spare me the unnecessary bullshit. You can simply tell me everything I missed in a matter of a few seconds."

"You didn't learn much from detention after all." She tilted her head, her eyes filled with disappointment for a slight second, before it vanished as she motioned for me to go to my seat.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Guess not." I muttered slowly, I made my way to my seat, but I could feel her eyes burning on mine. She was furious, but she was trying to keep her composure, and she did, very well, as she went back to teaching whilst I kept to myself, but I couldn't avoid the obnoxious wave I had received from no other than the man himself, Donny whom had a very excited look on his face, as if he was happy to see me.

Donny. What can I say more about him now? Had went from continuously making my life an absolute living hell, to suddenly becoming the most gentle, and kindest person in the whole school, of course, I was suspicious, but I never got too close to him, especially lately, becoming very distant, but in fairness, I've been distant with everyone.

That didn't stop him from following me to the hallway after first period ended, wrapping his arm around my shoulder before twirling me around, causing me to stop dead in my tracks.

"Donny. Have you been bored lately?"

"I've missed you." He spoke, his tone confident. "Feels like I haven't seen you in a while yet you're here 5 times a week."

"I'm sure you have" I started off. "You've also probably missed throwing me around, degrading me, insulting me, and making a mockery out of me."

His smile turned into a frown, he genuinely looked sad, letting out a sigh before explaining himself to me.

"Are you ever going to let that go, Sarah? Damn, it's been over a month since I last picked on you. Grow a pair of balls, and let shit go. It's in the past."
