Bullies (L.P)

Chapter 3

September 12, 2014

"So, class, does anyone know how atoms bond?" Mrs. Parker asks. I raise my hand, and look around if anyone else knows, and of course no one does.

"Anyone other than Liam?" Damn, that's harsh.

"Or do you mean, 'Other than nerdy pants'," says Emma in a low voice.

I ignore the fact that they say things like this behind my back. I'm quite used to it.

"Mr. Payne,"

"Atoms are bonded through chemical bonds," I say, before explaining what a chemical bond is, "and a chemical bond is the force of attraction that holds two atoms together."

"Good," Of course it's good, it's a great definition, "Please write it down on your copy books."

"Now can someone tell me how atoms are bond, again?" and I raise my hand, again.

No one, except me.

"Serious-" the bell interrupts him from giving us a lecture about remembering. Happened twice this week.

I put my books into my bag, and head for the door. I have lunch next, so I take my time going to the locker. I see that girl, the one that called me 'nerdy pants', right across my locker. What if they want to apologize? No, I hardly believe that. I start thinking of excuses, but then I remember that I haven't done anything.

I open my locker, and put my books inside. I also take my Literature textbook, and my other notebook. When I shut the locker, I get shoved against it. I let out a groan. Ouch, that hurts.

"Bye, nerdy pants," someone says, "don't forget to study."

Nerdy pants. Nerdy pants. Oh. Okay.

I get up from the floor, and wipe the dust from my clothes. What have I done to them? Would I really feel that bad all year long? No. I promised myself that I'll try, and talk to someone although I did promise myself that at the beginning of the week. I need to man up. I head to the canteen.

I pick up a tray of food; a turkey sandwich, an apple, and orange juice. I turn around to look for a seat to sit on, and then it hits me that everyone is in groups. Football team, popular girls, popular boys, and so on. I think I'm worse than the dorkiest people in this school. Just when I head out of the canteen, to sit outside, someone calls me.

I keep walking, because I think I imagined it.

"Liam. Liam Payne," I hear it again, but this time I turn around.

Oh, I didn't imagine it, I see a girl come towards me, Annabel Turner, she sometimes sits next to me in class, she's quite smart.

I smile at her, "Hey."

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to sit with me at lunch today," she says shyly, "or if you don't want to its fine. I was just wondering."

"Yeah. I would love too, actually," I say politely. Oh my God. Finally. Someone actually talked to me, let alone asked to sit with them. I'm quite happy, now.

She leads me to her table, there is one more person that is sitting there, and I'm guessing they don't want me there.

"Liam, this is Tom Carr, Tom this is Liam Payne," she states.

"Hey, mate," he smiles, and then puts his hand out, "nice to meet you."

I shake his hand and say, "you too." I'm wrong, maybe he does want me here.

"Are you going out tonight?" Tom asks. No.

"I'm not sure," I lie, I don't want to sound like a nerd in front of them, "I usually just go last minute."

"Really? You don't look like the person who plans last minute," Shit. He got me.

"Anyway, do you want to come with us to a party, it'll be lots of fun," Annabel tried to change the subject.

"A party," a double check with them, with me? Why?

"Yeah, you dumb shit. A party, do I have to paraphrase it for you?" He jokes.

"Please do," I chuckle.

"I actually don't know how too," We both end up laughing.

"I don't understand you guys, that is the lamest joke ever, if it even counts as a joke," Annabel says incoherently.

"Ha-Ha, Anna," says Tom.

The bell rings. I don't want lunch to be over, I had fun.

"Hey, Liam, meet me by your locker at the end of your last class, you're coming over before the party, see you, mate," he says, and then turns around.

I head to my next class with a smile on my face, I can't wait until 3pm.
