Words Hurt

Chapter 2- Time to Aviod

~~~~~

After staying in the bathroom for a little while longer, I sneaked out after the bell rang and hurried to class. Yeah, I know my mom will be mad I was late on the first day but I just need to get away from Derek and avoid him at all costs. I came to the corner by my class room before bumping into someone and falling to the ground. I let out a squeak, noticing someone arm around my arm and the other around my waist, stopping me from falling. I looked up and saw that it was Troy. A sigh of relief came over me and I was so glad it was Derek. We stood like we were for a little longer before we pulled away. Not one bit of it was awkward, I kind of just felt like i belonged there and would die if either of us moved. 

"Are you okay, BB?" Troy said, almost in a whisper. I could tell he was trying to be gentle. 

"Yes, I'm better now. I just need to get my mind off of him..." I told him as I started looking down. Trying to fight back the tears. His hand came under my chin and pulled it back up putting a light kiss on my lips. It was sweet and meant a lot to me, I really miss troy but I wasn't ready to get back in that relationship. I pulled away ever so slightly and watched as he frowned. I closed my eyes tight. 

"I'm sorry, Troy... but you know I'm not ready yet." I whispered. 

"I know, I just cant stand seeing you so sad" He said back. My eyes flew opened as I realized I needed to go to class. Already 20 minutes late. My mom is gonna kill me. 

"Oh my god! I gotta get to class!" I said hugging Troy tight, and ran away. I turned my head to look at him, to see him looking at me with a frown. Liz says I'm playing hard to get, but I'm not even doing it on purpose. I guess its just my personality. I turned my head back around just as he started walking away and found myself in front of my classroom. I knocked on the door and waited. First period I had art class. Not the worst class to have first period but im very messy so I'm most likely going to have paint or marker on me all the time throughout school. The teacher came to the door but stood in the way not letting me in.

"Is there a reason you were late miss?" She asked me, with a little attitude in her voice. 

"Yes, I woke up late. Not used to the school times yet. Sorry, Mrs. Ham." I told her, pulling out a piece of paper from my back pocket. While I was in the bathroom, I thought the teacher would give me a hard time so I wrote myself a pass so she would let me in. Mrs. Ham moved to the side, shaking her head in approval. I walked in and saw a group of my friends to the right corner of the room by the windows. They all looked up to me and smiled, waving me over to come sit with them. I walked over and smile along. 

"Oh my god! Hey guys! I missed you" I said hugging everyone of them.

"We have missed you too" Angie said smiling, "We saw you this morning but didn't get the chance to say hi because you ran inside with Lizzy."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I woke up late this morning a had a big smear of makeup on my face, Liz was helping me fix it" I told them, making it up as I went along. After a few minutes of talking and catching up with my friends the light flickered on and off, over and over again. I looked to the lights then to the front of the room to see my teacher trying to get our attention. 

"Alright class. You talked for a while and now its my turn. Welcome back! Im sure you missed us..." she smiled, but everyone just groaned and laughed. Someone called out 'In your dreams, Mrs.Ham'. 

"Alright, alright. Settle down." She waved her hands up in down, "For today we are going to----" she went on but I just blocked her out. I looked around the room to see who was all in my class. Just a bunch of no bodies and others were friends. Some I'm guessing were new. I looked behind me and saw some guy drawing in his sketch book. I looked at what he was drawing and noticed it was a drawing of a rose with black thorns and the petals falling off. Deep.

"It's just a drawing...it doesnt mean anything" He whispered, shyly, not wanting to look up at me. He took me by surprise. I didnt know he noticed me watching.

"Okay, I just thought it was pretty good." I smiled. He looked up to me and I noticed his beautiful eyes. They were a crystal like blue, with a hint of white in middle. He looked innocent and sweet. "My name is Brianna, you can call me Bre." 

"Hi bre. Im westly, but you can call me wes." he smiled. I nodded before turning around and focusing on the teacher again. Today is going to be a long day.
