Axel

almost thirteen...

Damn. She was ignoring me.

First day of school and I've already screwed up her trust in me. I could say I had my own reasons for acting the way I did, but the reason sounded childish even to my own subconscious.

Okay, I was mad at her. Why? Because she refused my offer to give her a ride to the school we both went to. I remember her words vividly.

"Axel, please." Astoria scrunched up her adorable nose, looking just as frustrated as I felt. "I had told you last night, remember? I need to do things my own way. I can't be your shadow at school besides, papa has already paid the bus fees."

"So what?" I helped fill her backpack with books. "I don't want you to be my shadow anymore than you do. It will save you time and money," I reasoned.

She placed both of her palms on my chest and pushed me to sit on her bed.

"No," she said. "I don't want to hear any fuss from you. I will meet you at school and we'll go to our classes together. I am still new to the school so I'll need your help, but I refuse to be a burden to your parents. It's not as simple as you think it is. They've already done so much for me... riding with you to school will be too much."

Too much, she said. Fine, I'll act completely indifferent to her presence. If it didn't bother me that much, I would've even gone ahead to goad my popularity to her.

Friends aren't supposed to be a burden. It irked me to think about the fact that she still saw as nothing more than her grandparent's employers' son. A spoilt brat.

Now, she was not even looking in my direction. I spotted her with Peter and his group of outcasts at the back of class. Outcasts usually occupied the back of the class and now Astoria was sitting with them.

Just perfect.

My attention snapped it's focus back to reality when I heard Astoria's name being called out. I lifted my chin which was resting on my fisted palm to see what was happening.

"Let's start with you, Astoria. Introduce yourself to the entire class."

Damn it. Why had Mr. Wayne picked Astoria to begin with? She was new and vulnerable. This could end up bad if she appeared meek to everyone.

My eyes darted towards Astoria and didn't miss the shake on her legs as she tried to steady herself. I mentally face palmed myself. I wanted to cause a distraction in the class to divert the attention of everyone, but that would only stall the inevitable.

I swear if anyone made fun of her will be tormented.

I watched Astoria gulp down the saliva forming in her mouth, a habit of hers whenever she felt nervous.
