The story of us

Chapter 15: The assignment

Author's note:

I am so so sorry for not uploading for so long, but we had our Easter holiday this past two weeks and i was actually in Vienna for some days. When i was there i didn't have time to write, you know we were all day long on the roads sight seeing and stuff like that. I also missed my flight home so i didn't celebrate Easter on Sunday

When I walked in class Kyle was sitting in his seat reading a Walking Dead comic. He raised his head and fixed his eyes on me and on my nose and I could see that he felt sorry for what he did. I could look at him because I haven't decided yet what to believe about him so I sat quietly and waited for the teacher to arrive. The lesson started and I did my best on paying attention but in the end I got lost in my thoughts. Sooner or later I will have to talk to him, I can't avoid him forever. Or could I? The thing is that I think I could but I don't think I want to. For some reason even after what Scott told me about him, I feel that I can't stay away from him for long even If I wanted to. It isn't that I don't believe Scott, of course I do, and he only wants what's best for me. I just think that there's something about the fact that Kyle put a man in a hospital that Scott doesn't know. Or I am someone who just sees only good in people and I may end up in a hospital too. For the second time in three years.

My thoughts were interrupted by ms.Perl's announcement for some project.

-For this project kids, you will have to work with another student and each team of two will be assigned with a specific work of Shakespeare's. And before you get picky I will be the one to partner you up.

This isn't good. Not good at all.

-So Tara with Kimberly, Tami with Cole, Violet with Kyle...

-Wait what?

-Is there a problem Violet?

-Umm no, sorry.

As she continued to tell names I turned to look Kyle which had a look on his fact that showed his indignation. Seriously now?  From all the people in class she found Kyle to put me with? I mean is this a bad joke or something? Well I guess that I will have to talk to Kyle sooner that I had planned and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

-Come to me so I can tell you on what you'll be working on.

As soon as the class cleared I went to Ms.Perl's desk.

-Hello Violet. So you and Kyle will be working on Romeo and Juliet. You will have to analyze their background, relationship and put all that together and see why they died for each other. It's due to next week so good luck.

-Thank you.

I started walking bad then I bumped into something, or someone. I bumped into Kyle's chest. Perfect. Could this day get any worse?

-Hey you...

-Hi Kyle.

-Are you still mad at me?

-I don't know.

-You don't know. What kind of answer Is that?

-My answer.

-Okay...So me and you. A team. Who could have imagined. What we'll be working on?

-Romeo and Juliet.

-Ohh I see. I think it suits us.

-If you mean the part where he kills himself with a dagger then yes, I'll be happy to help you to relate to that as much as you want.

-Weren't you suppose to like me or something? Why are you acting like this?

-Because you aren't suppose to put people in hospitals and also hit my friend.

I now realize that I've been holding my anger inside of me from the nightmares that came back, for Ninna and for Kyle. I am not sure that I am that angry at him but he Is probably the unlucky one who has to endure my breakdown.

-So I see that Scott talked to you.

-Of course he did. He has my back.

-He maybe does but he has no right running around telling things about me without knowing the whole story.

-And what's the whole story Kyle?

He didn't speak. He just stood there looking at me.

-That's what I thought.

I tried to leave but he blocked my way with his body.

-What about the assignment? When are we going to do it?

-I don't know.

-Are you free on Thursday?

-I think so, yes.

-Okay so I say you come by at my house and do the project.

-Only if someone else is in the house with us.

-Yes, okay. Is seven thirty okay?

-Yes, I'll be there.

-Okay then. Hey how is your nose by the way? Does it hurt?

He gentle put his hand on my cheek but from instinct I pulled back.

-I am sorry, I didn't mean to...

-No it's okay. I am fine. I mean no, it doesn't hurt.  Anyway see you on Thursday Kyle.

-Looking forward to it Violet.

Well I am not. My feelings are seriously all over the place. I know that I have one thing to do before Thursday night. I need to seat, put things down and short out what I am feeling because right now I am a big mess of emotions, both good and bad and that confuses me as hell.
