4 Days later: Friday
I walk to my first period again which appears to be in a different room. I walk in and I'm immediately greeted by 'hey' and 'how are you?' I smile and nod to each person who asks then the teacher asks me why I'm late. I really don't have a particular reason for that.
"So Suzie, your a great student but why were you late today?" She said concerned. I stuttered for words but I just couldn't find them. I had to lie but before I could do that Jack G decides to get into my business.
"Oh miss, she was asleep and when Johnson tried to wake her up she wouldn't wake up. I think she deserves a punishment." I groan. Jack G still hates me. Every time I look in his eyes I suspect some kind of caring side but all I see is pure hatred. Why does he hate me so much?
"Right Suzie, that will be a detention and because your last here you'll have to work with Jack Gilinsky because he's the one who seems to know what to do. Right Gilinsky?" I groan and Jack G can't keep his jaw shut. I look over at my class mates and there laughing, smiling, sniggering or smirking which just frustrates me. I walk over to the seat next to his and he gives me a fake smile. I gag at him and sit moving my seat far away from his. Everyone knows we share pure hatred for each over but they don't know the reason way, even I don't.
It has been 20 minutes into the lesson and Jack G still hasn't told me what to do. I decide to break the silence.
"Why do you hate me?" I say looking at him. He turns to face me and for the first time I see pure sympathy in his eyes. I repeat what I said and he does not answer he just sighs.
"You don't get it Suzie, do you?" He says breaking the silence between us for once. I look at him confused.
"No, I don't" I tell the truth. I only hate him because he hates me and its that stupid girlfriend of his. Leigh.
"Suzie, your different. You make me feel different, I go crazy when I'm around you. I act like I hate you so I look tough, but deep inside I'm waiting for you, I want you. I want you because I actually have feelings for you. But if I'm going to keep Leigh's relationship I'm going to have to hate you. I'm sorr-" before he could finish I cut him off. I look away from him and process what he had just told me. He actually had feelings for me. I'm amazed, stunned, happy, brave, strong but then I'm weak, sad, sympathetic. I can't feel the same way.
"Keep your sorry, why would you hate me to look tough?" That's all I managed to stutter. I was thrilled by my own words. He looked down and I turned away. I walked over to the teacher and asked if I could go to the toilet. She replied yes, so I walked out of the classroom and headed towards the ladies bathroom. On the way I heard whispers. The curiosity I had inside couldn't help it self, so I ears dropped. It was Leigh. My heart sank when I heard what they said.
"He hates her Madison, he hates her..."
