For the rest of the day, I layed on my bed, replaying the incident that occurred.
"My god, it was just an apology!"
I shout to myself.
"What else could he want." I sigh.
I hear my phone notification.
Mama ❤️: Hey, I'm not gonna be home by 12 so just eat whatever's left okay?
Yep. :Me
Seen
I spent the night doing my science homework while listening to Niall Horan's new song. I close my eyes, humming to the song.
Okay, just a quick nap. I thought to myself.
And before I knew it, I dozed off to sleep.
——————————————————————-
I woke up to the sounds of my mum yelling at me to wake up again.
Wait. Don't tell me..
I open my eyes, checking the time on my phone.
Fuck. It's 8:12 am.
"Keren, are you even listening to me!" My mum exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah, I know how many times I've been late."
I hurriedly grabbed a wrinkly t-shirt and sweats.
"Make sure to grab a toast!"
I ran downstairs, trying to fit every book in my bag.
"Bye Kere-"
"Yeah love you Micheal."
I ran outside the house, shutting the door behind me.
I try to catch my breath.
"How the hell did I sleep until the next morning?!" I whisper to myself.
————————————————————
"Why are you sweating? Are you okay? Do you have a fever?" Mary places the back of her hand on my forehead.
I place her hand back on the desk.
"No. I just ran a whole marathon coming to school."
"Really Keren? How many times have I told you to put an alarm for school? Literally everyone does that!"
Mary's blabbering becomes more discreet as I plugged in my earphones.
I look outside the window, staring at the trees swaying side to side. Why can't I be a tree.
Suddenly the background noise, (my classmates talking) stopped all of a sudden. I unplugged my earphones to see what everyone had to stop their conversations for.
I looked past someone's head and in the far distance I saw a familiar figure.
Who could it be?
"Attention!"
Ms Jackson shrieks.
I didn't really care about what was going to happen so I layed down on my desk again, listening to more songs.
"We have a new student so I want you all to please welcome him and be nice to him."
"Please come in and introduce yourself!"
He coughs.
"Hi."
I raised my eyebrows.
He sounds rather familiar? Do I know this person?
"I hope I can spend the rest of my school year making friends and I hope you'll take care of me, thank you."
I looked up.
My heart felt as if it stopped beating.
You got be fucking kidding me right now.
"Great! You can take a seat in front of Keren."
The teacher points to me as he makes eye contact with me. He smirks. He definitely remembers me.
I turn to Mary and to my surprise she was already staring at me with a shocked expression.
"You- He- I-"
Mary blurts out.
"Literally same." I replied.
"What is even going on."
The bell rings for Lunch and I make my way to my favourite place in the school, the canteen!
I see Mary already standing in the line, in fact she is first. But I'm not surprised.
"Hey can you get me a chilli beef pie Mary?"
"Sure." She takes the money I handed her.
"I'll be waiting down there next to the trees!" I point.
As I walk towards the place, I see Tracey sitting there from a distance.
"Hey!"
I run towards her and take a seat under the shaded area under the tree.
"Caesar salad? Can I have some?"
"No get your own food." Tracey replies with no emotion.
"Please...."
"Fine!"
She gives me a handful of the caesar salad before Mary comes with my food.
"Here's your chilli beef pie!"
"You ordered food this entire time?!" Tracey says sassily.
"Nah. It just randomly got here."
"Bitch you better give me some."
"Just because you gave me your food doesn't meant I will." I say as I giggle.
Tracey suddenly yanks the pie out of my hand and tries to take a bite.
"BRO."
I try to take the pie from her but she was really good at hiding it.
"It's my pie!"
"Still you have to share!"
"Girl it's literally mine!"
"So was my salad!"
I could see Mary was really disappointed in us.
Mary snatches the pie off both of us.
"Hey give that ba-"
I didn't get to finish my sentence because I got hit in my fucking head with a ball.
I put my hand to my head.
Mary and Tracey try to suppress their laughter and I glanced at them.
"Sorry, that was my bad."
"Yeah you better be sorry-"
I get up and stand an inch away from someone I didn't think I would be.
"Move away a bit will you? That breath is kickin."
I casually say.
He rolls his eyes.
"Give me the ball."
"You want the ball? Then get it."
I used all my strength to throw the ball out in the field. I should've used the strength to grab the pie off Tracey but good thing I didn't.
He pokes the inside of his cheek, hands on his hips.
"If two can play that game then be it."
He walks off with a neutral face.
Silence.
Then laughter was filled in the air when Tracey accidentally let's out her laugh she's been holding in.
"I can't breathe, you should've seen the look on his face when you commented about his breath."
I couldn't help but feel proud of myself for what just happened. That cunt finally deserves it after what happened in the flower shop.
Then another ball flies towards us but luckily I caught it in time. What's up with me attracting balls?
"Yo, mind if you pass me the ball?"
I stop what I'm doing as I looked up to see who the owner of this ball was.
"....l.."
