Just Forget About It

Chapter 2

(A/N) Sorry i haven't updated after chapter 1 I'm a little preoccupied with school... anyways here's chapter 2 i might also publish chapter 3 tonight! I hope you enjoy the story so far!!

The bell rang, which scared me to say the least...

"Everyone take a seat please, and take out your books." a tall man said in a rather tiring voice. "My name is Mr. Crab", the whole class laughed as he said those words. Why are they laughing, my book said laughing at a person was disrespectful...

"Alright, settle down now!" Mr. Crab yelled out. He started writing on the board what looked like "Name, Age, Fun Fact". He then said we were supposed to introduce ourselves. Wait what?!?! Now, i-i c-can't, what if i say something i don't mean. Ummm ok i can say my cat died. No that's boring.. Uhh dammit. As I was lost in thought a few kids went before me.

"My name is Connor Remi, im 16, and a fun fact is my sister's depressed" a red head said, which really got my attention because he said so in a very depressed tone himself. "Oh um ok, thank you" Mr. Crab replied. "Charissa Leon is next" called out Mr. Crab. Shit, you got this girl... right? As I walked to the teacher's desk, my anxiety was taking over me, I didn't know what to say.

"Ummm, hii... my n-name is Charissa Leon, im 15 and a fun fact is...'' i said very quietly, so no one could hear me. "We can't hear you! LOUDER!" some guy in the back yelled. "That's enough out of you Peter. Charissa could you repeat that please?" Mr. Crab said. As I nodded my head I looked over at Phoebe, who was smiling and giving me a thumbs up. "My n-name is Charissa Leon, im 15 and a fun fact is..." i repeated as i was yelled at again "Yo bitch, if you're gonna present yourself, make sure we can hear you!!" the redhead that went before me said.

This comment of his made me snap so... "FINE!" I yelled as I slammed my hands on the desk. "If you're gonna present yourself make sure the fun fact is about your depressed ass and not your sisters dumbass! My name is Charissa Leon, I'm 15, and a fun fact about me is that my anger issues are bigger than your ego!" as i realized what i had just said i looked around at all my classmates, their jaws dropped down to the floor. "Yea we can tell" some guys laughed off.

Afterwards the redhead "Connor Remi" left the classroom giving me a death stare, which subconsciously I rolled my eyes at. "Ms. Leon, excuse yourself to your seat please" Mr. Crab said. "Y-Yes im so sorry Mr. Crab" i replied as i went back to take my seat. "Actually you're going to apologize to Mr. Remi. Go on, go find him and don't come back until both your minds are cleared and ready for work." After Mr. Crab gave me this direction, I felt it was the least I could do for both of them after accidentally letting my emotions get the best of me.

I ran out of the classroom to find Connor, who I found sitting near the stairs leading to the roof. Wait, what am I gonna say? Honestly I feel like punching him and yelling some more but I don't want to get in any more trouble than I already am, I thought as I quietly sat next to him.

"I-I'm so-" I was trying to apologize but he caught me off. "You know your personality reminds me of a girl from this show my sister watches, she's bipolar. Are you?" that got me thinking. "Wha- Of course not! I just have... mood swings" really terrible ones too.

"Hmm whatever you say" he replied. "Listen, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what I said back there. It was out of place." I felt like I needed an apology too, but this kid didn't seem like the apologizing type. "Hm whatever"

"Let's just go, Mr. Crab told us to come back" I said as I stood up. Surprisingly he followed my directions, and stood up with his hands in his pockets looking down at the floor. "You're new here right?" Connor asked me. "Yea i just moved here. Why?" I answered.

He pushed me, I could feel my back being pinned against the wall, I looked up to Connor looking down at me. He had his hand leaning on the wall over my shoulder. "Listen sweetheart," he got closer to my ear to the point I could hear and feel his breathing "just because you're new here doesn't mean you get to talk to me that way. Got it?" he whispered in my ear.

If i didnt wanna punch him before i sure did now. Who the hell does this guy think he is? The king or something? "I can say whatever the hell I want and you can't stop me. Got it?" I said as I pushed him off me, rolling my eyes at him. I left to go directly to the classroom, I looked back only to see him staring blankly at the wall.

As we walked back to the classroom, I could hear him mumble something, it sounded like he was really mad. It was an amazingly long and awkward walk, but I kept catching myself staring at him quite a few times. Why do I feel like I know him? What's up with this kid... "Do you need something?" Connor stopped walking and stared back at me.

"What? No, what makes you say that?" I asked back. "You've been staring at me for quite a while. I mean I know I'm irresistible but still, it's very uncomfortable." Oh my god, how much more of a pessimist can he be? I thought to myself. "Its nothing, you've just been mumbling something like you're pissed off so i thought it was me"

"Sweetheart, when I'm pissed off at you, I'll let you know. Capisce?"

"I could care less if you're pissed off at me!"

"So then why were you worried?" he asked. I wanna punch him so bad.

"I was not worried. Neither am I interested, get that inside your head. And stop calling me 'sweetheart'''I replied clearly, mad at him. He shrugged it off like it was nothing.

When we got to class I was pulled to the side by a familiar face. "Wha- Phoebe?" Phoebe looked worried, I guess what I said surprised her. "Are you ok? Why did you say that about Connor? You don't know what he's been through." she replied. "What do you mean? To me he looks like a self-centered brat who doesn't know a person from an object."

"Charissa, I know you're new and all, I get it. I dislike Connor too, but cut him some slack. He lost his parents a few years ago." I gasped at amazement at what she had said. "Wait, seriously?" she nodded in response "Oh im sorry" she hugged me, which surprised me because we never did this in the Netherlands. "Don't apologize to me, just to him" I nodded at her and smiled. As I was walking to Connor's desk in order to apologize, Mr. Crab called out to me, looking really upset. Great, I'm in trouble.
