desiderium || Chris sturniolo

20

It had been two weeks since Christmas Break. Two weeks and Chris and I had not spoken a word to each other.

There had been no reason to. even in science we would ignore eachothers presence.since we had only been doing book work for the first weeks of the semester

I genuinely thought that I couldn't be assigned a worse partner than him, but the moment I was pointed to lyla Pickens in history class , I decided that ms alderine had a personal vendetta against me.

Chris was paired with a brunette in that was rumored to be his current 'conquest'.

I wasn't jealous, but it did annoy me every time I'd look over to see them being all flirty when ms alderine wasn't looking.

It was a good thing though, the farther away I was from him, the less likely I would be to lose control.

"aAre you even listening to me?" lyla squealed from beside me

I dragged my eyes from Chris over to her. "I was trying not to"

She rolled her eyes, "I'm not going to do this assignment, so if you want us to get a good grade then you have to do it"

I rose my eyebrows at her. "You think you can manipulate me? I will not hesitate to curb stomp you if you don't do your share of work." Her mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Then I will tell the Professors and you will be..." She continued to rant but I just drowned her out.

My eyes wandered over to Blair and Matt who were looking at each other across the room.

Briar told me that they had been really happy lately and that they had told their parents, which meant that any spare second they had outside of classes,
they were in some random location snogging each other or having a romantic moment off somewhere .

The only times they were really around me anymore was before and after school in the car.

Alahna and Nick hung out with me sometimes but they mostly had other things to attend to or were hanging out with chriss group

Long story short, these past two weeks have been miserable.

Class finally ended and I was more than grateful to leave lyla behind.

Blair and Matt were already out the door before I packed up my things.

As I stepped out into the hall lyla caught up with me.

"Wait!" She called, grabbing my arm and spinning me around.

"What? Class is over." I spat, tearing my arm from her grip

The look in her eyes told me that whatever she would say next wouldn't be pretty.

"I just thought you should know that Ryan is telling everyone that you two hooked up in the bathroom at that cafe u guys went to " She smiled a snakes smile.

"I knew you were trashy Quinn, but not that trashy."

Honestly, it was like this girl wanted me to throw her down the stairs.

And Ryan... It seemed like that piece of shit and I would be having a talk at lunch.

Instead of giving in to lyla's taunting, I just scoffed and continued walking down the hall.

"See you around trashy chalmers" She called from behind me.

A couple people loitering in the halls looked over at that, including Chris and his new girl.

I didn't even look at him before turning to face her,

"At least I don't have to threaten others in order to get a boy who doesn't even want me."
