Chapter 1

"Hey there Ms. Nobody. Copy the notes for me." Michael, the ever bully commanded me. Holding his notebook to pat my head. While I'm looking on my chair.

"I-I'm still c-copying the notes." I stuttered getting too jittery. Damn mouth! I noticed my hand shaking as I hold my ballpen. "Then make it faster you slowpoke." I look up to him. Realizing that I shouldn't have done it. His eyes are so scary.

"Hey babe, let's go. You won't benefit anything with that." Fay gave Michael a flirtatious smile as she touch Michael's chest. Please go away!

"Hmph! You're right, let's go." He threw his notebook on my desk. "Make sure to finish that this day. And oh.." He went close to my ear whispering. "Don't draw on my notebook." He smirked.

"Let's go babe." Fay said in boredom. Stop. I don't want this anymore. Leave me alone. I'm not anyone's play thing!

I sighed. I don't have the courage to say that though..

I don't have the time to get emotional. I immediately copied the notes on the whiteboard on his notebook. There are many homeworks today and I don't want to waste my time here.

"Hey, don't you think Michael likes Jenna? I mean he fought those guys who bullied her the other day. He even warned those people who saw him beat those bastards to keep their mouths off." A girl was chatting with her friend. I still haven't saw them. If they keep on walking they'll see me. I'm only at the other side of the hallway.

There's no way Michael will like me. Are they mocking me? Or they're just really dumbs?

"But hell the boy has his girlfriend." I imagined her friend rolling her eyes. "You never know. That might be only a fling." I saw her shrug. Crap! They'll see me!

I turned around to walk away but bumped to a person. "Ouch.." My butt hurts.. Oh! I need to apologize! "I'm sor-"

"I'm really sorry! Sorry!" he said the sorry twice? He's panicking as he fix those scattered papers on the floor. "Oh! I'm sorry too." I apologized as I help him pick the papers up the floor. Seriously? Ah! I need to go home now!

"Thank you." He said in rush and sprinted away from the hallway. I shrugged and made my way to home.

"Weird girl." Krystal's words were the first thing I heard this morning. Nice day. How I wish to not go at school anymore. I'm suffering everyday. Looking at those circle of groups in front of me at lunch. Those faces who give me a sympathetic look but I always just saw nothing in their eyes. They do not even care about me.

I sat on my chair and placed my bag on my side. Not later, Michael sat on my desk, making me feel jittery again. Making me feel coward again. I hate feeling this thing. "So? My notebook?" he asked.

Why do he need to do this in the morning? I quickly grabbed my bag and searched for his notebook. "H-here.." I gave him his notebook. He grabbed it and ho looked on the pages like he's checking out something. "Good. You didn't drew anything." He said and used his notebook to pat my head. I stared down on my desk again. Feeling ashamed.

"Good morning. Now stop those butts from loitering. I have a big announcement." Our teacher said. "Come here, Jake." The 'Jake' person went his way on the room. "Jake Ken Marfer will be transferred in this section because of his good studies. Be good to him." Our teacher pointed out the vacant seat on my left. "Sit there."

"Mornin'" The Jake guy smiled at me. He.. noticed me? Well, just at first. He will certainly found out that I'm boring. But still I smiled. He looked at me like I am familiar to him. "Oh! You're the girl I bumped to!" He grinned.

"Ah, I'm sorry about that." I apologized again. "Oh no, no it was my fault for running on the hallway." He smiled again. But I do not care because someday that smile of him will not be directed to me anymore. I focused myself on the discussion.

"Hey, want to eat lunch with me?" Jake offered me. Wait? Is he just asking me to eat lunch with him? I looked around and was relieved that there are only few who are in this room and that Michael is not here.

"Please be careful around with me. You don't want your highschool life to be ruined, right?" I warned him and he nodded. "Then don't offer me things like that." I said and went to our cafeteria. As I was eating my lunch alone in the cafeteria. Someone sat on the chair in front of me.

"Glad to see you not with him." Michael gave me a playful smile. What the?! Why is he here?! What? I'll still get bullied in break time? Seriously? Just how messed up my life is.

"Eat." He ordered. I found myself still shocked because of him. I nervously ate my lunch. He didn't say anything and didn't do anything. He just ate his food which I found unusual. What is he doing here?

I didn't attempt to ask him why he's here. Now, I feel embarrassed with those people watching us.

"Oh, hey. You sure did brushed me off last time." Jake sat on the vacant chair next to mine.

Fuck?!
