Chapter 13- I Can't Wait

Hannah's P.O.V.

The class continues to stare at me with wide eyes for what seems to be hours. Not knowing what to do, I look at Mrs. Nichols for help. She meets my pleading eyes with a small nod before going to Olivia's table and banging on it as loud as she can.

Everyone quickly turns and looks at her to see her glaring at them. "I hope you all know that it is extremely rude to stare at someone, especially when they can't tell you to fuck off," Mrs. Nichols says in a hard tone.

Now it was my turn to stare at her since she just openly cussed in the middle of class, yet no one else seemed to find this even the slightest bit surprising.

"Now I want you all to turn around and focus on what I am teaching you instead of your new classmate or you may all just happen to fail your next test by coincidence. Do you understand?"

In unison the class responds with a, "Yes Mrs. Nichols." Well everyone responded except for Ren that is.

"Good." Mrs. Nichols turns around to continue teaching before quickly turning back to the class and saying, "And if I here that any of you are picking on Hannah for not talking then you will have me to deal with and more after school detention then you know what to deal with! So remember that in the future!"

Once again Mrs. Nichols resumes teaching, and everyone seems to take her warning to heart since no one continues to stare at me. I go back to spacing off until someone starts poking me from the side. Deciding to ignore it, I simply take my chair and move it farther away, but the poking continues.

For five, long, annoying minutes, I am non stop poked in the arm until I am ready to scream. I whip my head around to see Ren giving me a smirk before handing me a folded piece of paper. I shift my gaze to look at the paper before once again turning my attention to Ren.

Ren proceeds to give me the 'go on' motion, but I continue to just stare. Ren rolls his eyes at me before unfolding the note and placing it right in front of me when the note is where he wants it, Ren whispers, "Read it."

Knowing that Ren won't stop annoying me until I do what he wants, I look at the note that has surprisingly neat handwriting on it.

Why don't you talk?

I re read what is written on the note 3 times before finally turning and looking at Ren with a raised eyebrow. Ren then picks up the pencil I has beside me and puts it in my hand before looking at me expectantly.

With a sigh, I proceed to write I'm a mute dumb ass, deciding to stick with what Mrs. Nichols had originally told the class. I then pass the note back to Ren. Ren's eyes scan over the note before he smirks and scribbles something down. When I once again get the note I see Fiesty, I like it.

Deciding I have had enough of his shit, I crumple the note in my hand and leave it on the desk. I hear a small chuckle from beside me before another note is once again in front of me.

Hey I was just stating facts, no need to get worked up over it.

Picking up my pencil I respond with, Shouldn't you be paying attention to the lesson?

Shouldn't you?

I already know the material from my old school.

I don't give a shit about this class to pay attention.

Have fun with that, it should get you far in life.

Wow not only is she fiesty, but the girl has sass too!

I am about to respond when the bell rings. Shocked, I look at the clock to see that an hour and a half has passed since class started, even though it seems like it has only been 20 minutes. I stand up and start to gather my stuff and am greeted with an overly happy Olivia.
