Her trauma. His mistake. He pushed her away once, she repels him now. With nothing more important in his heart than rectifying his mistake...
//"Well, I do know that you're not one to stick around" I mutter as I leave the room.//
//"Leave me alone!"...
"So for the next couple of weeks, you all will be preparing for debates. I will be placing you in pairs and you will be going against another pair. All twenty of you will have to participate and remember, teamwork makes the dream work! I'll share the pair listings, topics, and dates for the presentation at the end of the first period. You'll have the entire second period to start working on your debate. You will also be allowed access to your phones during that period for research purposes. Put it at the back of your mind that you have weeks to prepare for this and it will be a rather juicy chunk of your grade." says Mrs. Amira.
Collective groans are heard across the classroom. I'm too shocked to say anything as now I'll have to socialize with others whether I like it or not. Sigh. I finish reading the passage we are studying and answer the questions. I feel my bun getting loose on my head, nearly cursing at myself for not doing this properly.
Mrs. Amira calls for everyone's attention. "Okay, if you all take a look at the board, you will see your partners and your groups projected. You can finish up today's exercise and begin discussing however, do not create a ruckus in my classroom. Thank you!" she says before sitting down.
My eyes roam across the classroom and I finally look at the board. I mean, this isn't a fairytale so it won't be cliche, right? Right?? A loud scoff is heard and I realize that I produced the sound. Who said life isn't cliche? *Inserts dramatic eye-rolling.*
Sky Adams: Nathan Lee: Juveniles should be tried and treated as adults(Opposing).
I realize that everyone's eyes are on me. "Sky, are you okay?" asks Mrs. Amira. "I'm perfectly fine," I say with a fake smile on my face, picking up my bag to leave the classroom as the bell rings. Everyone else picks their stuff up so I return my bag to my seat and go out not only to avoid this situation but also to tie my hair properly and maybe also call Lisa.
As I'm walking towards the door, I feel someone pull me back by the arm. I bump into the person's chest, my hair decides to leave its prison, falling all over my face and the familiar smell of fabric softener and light cologne hits my nostrils.
I inhale sharply and shove him away before rushing out of the classroom. Never again. Who does he think he is to pull me as he pleases? He needs serious help! I go into the washroom and pull my hair into a ponytail. I'll have to leave it this way for now. I wash my face and take my phone out to text Lisa.

I absolutely can't with this guy.... :👀
🤦♂️Lisaaa❤: NaTe!!! That scumbag again. What did he do this time?
He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him. My hair got loose from its bun and I could smell his fabric softener and cologne.
🤦♂️Lisaaa❤: I'm going to knock him out. Just kick him in the nuts if he tries to mess with you again.
You know I'm not you. And you do remember he has mad reflexes though? :👀
🤦♂️Lisaaa❤: Still! Don't worry love. I'll handle him soon.
Thanks love. Got to get back to class. Byee~:👀

I sigh as I pocket my phone and head back towards the class. It's still basically empty so I take out my earphones, trustee notebook, and my pencil and start researching on our debate topic.
I hear people come into the classroom and sigh, still keeping my attention on the research. That is until my nemesis slides into the seat beside me like a dirty snake. I scowl and continue doing my research until I feel him tap my shoulder. I nearly break my pencil in half.
"What do you want Nathan?" I sneer, not at all in the mood for this nonsense.
I hear his sharp intake of breath and eye him in distaste.
"That's the longest sentence you said to me since you came back," he says with an awkward smile on his face. I scoff and the smile drops so fast that you wouldn't see it if you blinked.
"It's a pair project Sky. We kinda have to work together," he says, now with a frown adorning his face. Serves him right!
"And so?" I say looking back at my notebook. "I have your number anyway, I'll just unblock it and send you the research I've done then. After you study that, we can practise who we want to be the first speaker. It's not bloody complicated okay?" I say as I look directly into his eyes.
I look at my research and realise that I'm seeing blurry again. The headache seems to have made a comeback. I stand up and shakily head over to Mrs Amira's table, ignoring the stares I'm receiving.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but I really need to got to the nurse's office", I say removing my glasses as it's not helping me at the moment.
"Sure, Sky. Do you need someone to escort you then?" she asks, concern visible on her face once again.
"I'm sure I'm fine ma'am. Thank you for the class and have a good day", I smile and wave at her. As I walk towards the door, the world suddenly goes black and then I'm falling until I hit the ground.
