Double the Trouble, Double the Love

casey becker - chapter 4

After I sped walked away from Billy and Stu, I found myself in a quiet lonely hallway. It was kind of dark as well. There weren't as many windows in this hallway. It's so silent you could hear a mouse. The only noise you could hear were my footsteps.
I was incredibly anxious and I was flinching at stuff that wasn't there. I just wanted to find the bathroom. I was hoping I would run into anyone but Tatum.

I heard footsteps that weren't mine and I started to prepare for the worst. I walked slowly and waited for this person to turn the corner.

It was a blonde girl, but not Tatum. This girl had a bob with bangs. She was wearing a nude color sweater and white pants. She was very pretty and seemed friendly. She was also humming a tone.
She noticed me staring at her but wasn't freaked out.

"Oh, hello!" This girl gave me a warm smile and walked over to me.
"Hi." I forced it out of me. My voice was a little shaky and rough.
She looked down at my crumpled schedule and quickly looked back up at me.

"Are you new?"
"Yeah.." My voice was still rough.
"Do you need help finding some classes? I can show you around the school." Her smile was even bigger. Before I could even answer her question, she spoke again.
"Gosh, I can't believe I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Casey." We shook hands.

"I'm Y/N."
"Nice to meet you, Y/N! Let me show you around!"
Casey gave me a wonderfully detailed tour of the school. She seemed to really like it here. She even made sure I knew where all my classes where.

—

"Thank you! Really. I really appreciate this, Casey." I smile and she smiles back.
"Well, I'll see you around! Bye, Y/N!"
"Bye!"

I take a deep breathe and confidently walk into my 6th period. I search for an open seat and instead I notice...Billy?! He spots me in the door and waves.
Oh great.
I mentally facepalmed. With just my luck, the only open seat is next to him.

I silently groan and walk slowly on purpose over to my new seat.
I lightly throw my backpack to the ground and hope that Tatum doesn't see this and tell Sidney. I don't wanna be killed.

"So I guess this-" I cut Billy off before he could finish his sentence.
"Yeah yeah, I know I know. Desk buddies. Woo." I sarcastically cheer and side eye him. I was NOT in the mood, thanks to Tatum.

—

While we're taking notes, Billy passes me a note. I sigh deeply and side eye him once again.

Can he not tell Im not in the mood? This is going to be a long school year. I frown and open the note.

I can't even read the note. His handwriting IS SO BAD. I furrow my eyebrows while trying to figure out what the hell he wrote.

I give up and write on the back:
"what are u trying to say? i can't read ur bad handwriting"
I slide the note back to him.

He writes back:
"My handwriting is not bad. Anyways, why are you upset?"

I write back:
"im not upset. your the one upset."

"You're*."

"what?"

"You used the wrong you're."

"no i didnt."

"Yes, you did."

"whatever. but im not upset."

"Are you sure something didn't happen earlier?"

"positive." I slide back the paper and also lightly kick Billy's leg.
He kicks back hard. I kick him back harder than I did the last time. I look back at him with an angry frown. While he has a stupid cocky smile on his face.
