There's Something About Her

Chapter 4

Emma's P.O.V
After hearing Sabrina's thoughts on what she would do to help the LBGTQ+ community I looked at her and smiled.
After class, I approached her and said: "Wow, I didn't know that you're gay, and saying what you just said about the LGBTQIA+ community it really made me look at things in a way that I never saw it before so thank you for saying what you said back there, not many people say those kind words before. You're a really great person."

Sabrina just looked as if I was nuts and started to laugh halfheartedly.

 
" Um, sorry but I'm not gay I just like to respect other people's rights and treat them in a way that most people don't, but yeah most of what I said, it really does matter like how we as a group of students can make a difference just by speaking up or just by saying 'stop'. I've been bullied before by this girl who used to be my best friend but then her parents got rich off some casino and told her to stop hanging out with unfortunate low-life's like me and thought of stopping what happened to me. Anyway what's you're next class? I noticed that the locker across from mine that was not occupied for at least a year has now been occupied by the most pretty girl here an- Um.. I should go. I've said too much, see you tomorrow."

Yo, She thinks I'm pretty? I thought to myself

I turned to see her headed to a boy with blond hair and hug him then hold hands and they start to walk down toward the big blue doors that lead to the cafeteria. As I started to head back to my Ferrari to get my own lunch, I saw her look back at me with the most beautiful eyes I ever seen and smiled to myself.

Sabrina's P.O.V
After talking to Emma I've realized I've said to much and I left from where I was and went over to where Daryl was standing, he wrapped me in his arms and lead me inside the cafeteria where my friends where waiting. As we passed by our to our table a couple of students said: "Hey Sab, Hey Daryl how was break?" "aye it's the cute couple how was y'all's break?" 
As we passed by them I had my faked Oh-So- Awesome-smile. What was wrong with myself today? I loved school. I was overjoyed to come back after summer break.
As we reached the table my friend Sarah said: "Sabrina, did you see Mrs. Nichols she was looking for you" she picked up her cheeseburger " She said to stop by the career workshop sometime this week to check them out."
Today, tomorrow, never. Cracking open the top of a Cherry Pepsi the Daryl had set in front of me, I turned to Ramona and said. " So, how was Summer Vacation in Virginia?"
Sara kicked me on the shin. Hard.

Uh-Oh.
Oops.

As soon as Ramona started to tell us about how her father was drunk the whole two weeks and all she did was picked him up late every night from a bar all because he was too hung over to drive back home. I zoned and at some point Daryl had returned the watery blob and I swabbed a greasy fry through it. I had forgot I even asked him for some ketchup. I checked out again; Round and Round it goes, where it stops nobody knows.
I felt Daryl nudge my elbow. "Babe, you okay?" I looked up to find everyone staring at me. I slit my eyes and said "I got Mr. Calcian for Modern Literature." 

Everyone went "Yeoh." Sara said "Don't every be late he or he'll embarrass you in front of everyone." I winced. I despised it when teachers or anyone did that.
I picked up my French Toast and said, "you know all these anti-bullying polices should apply to teachers also." I chomped off a piece of Toast "Think about it, public humiliation is a form of corporal abuse, not to mention also emotional abuse."
by the look on their faces and their bobbing heads I guessed they all agreed . But what we're we going to do about it? Nothing. Even though I was student council President. I felt too weak to do anything to effect any form of social or economic change.
Oh, wait, I take the back, we now have both ice cream and claw machine with school supplies in the hall.

Sports Helping Level I was as Daryl had once said, A big pain in the ass. But I needed some time to fill in during Biology and Study Hall so my mom won't think I'm up to something with Daryl.
After class, I headed toward my locker to grab my backpack and start putting my books away. As I was putting my things away I heard someone holler "Hey, Sabrina, did you have a nice break?"
"Awesome, thanks." I said
I then heard a familiar voice
"So, you just switched schools? where'd you go last year?"
I opened my locker and in my mirror I could see Kayla and Emma deep in conversation
"Jaguar South"
Kayla said, "Oh, yeah? Hey, do you know Kaylee? She's the president of the LGBTQ+ club at Jaguar. Kaylee Burns."
"I... I don't think I know her"
"You have to know her. She says she knows you."
'I said I don't. " The severity of Emma's voice made my turn around to face them. Kayla caught my eye and I turned back. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emma grab her a backpack, shove a book in her bag and removed a black vest of the coat hook. "Sorry" to Kayla she said "it's been a tough week."
