Finding The Real Me

Chapter 44

David

I was in science class listening to the science teacher. I glanced over at Arena who looked as board as I was. She also looked a little pale and tired. "Hey are you okay?" I whispered to her.

"Yeah." She whispered back and that was the end of the conversation. What is with her, she barley ever talks to me anymore. The Bell rang and everyone started to pack up.

"Hey Arena I was thinking maybe we could..." I started but she cut me off. "Sorry can't, very busy tonight." And then she left before I could say anything else.

I stared at where she was a second and then sighed. "That's it, this is starting to aggravate me." I got up and went after her. I got to our lockers and she had just closed hers.

"Hey!" I yelled and she jumped a little. She looked at me "what?" I walked over to her "why have you been avoiding me for the past two weeks?" "I don't know what your talking about..."

"Yes you do, know tell me why your avoiding me." I watched her look away from me and when it didn't look like she was going to say anything I pressed on. "Did I say something that upset you?"

She didn't answer. "Is it because of Travis? Did he say something to you?" "Do not bring Travis into this its not his fault" Arena finally said. "Then what is it Arena!?" I yelled angrily.

"It's you!" She yelled. I looked at her shocked "what do you mean?" "Everything you have done to me is wrong!" I looked at her confused and she sighed.

"I know what you've been doing to me the last couple mouths. Trying to convince me that I was letting others choice for me so I would change and let you make decisions for me."

"Are you out of your mind!?" I yelled. "I was happy until you came and tried to mess everything up. David I-i...I hate you!" She turned around and ran down the hallway.

When she was out of sight I let out s frustrated sigh. "She is such a pain to deal with."
