My Bully

Chapter 16

The next day at school was a hard one. I did my best to keep my ears and cheeks cool while standing anywhere near Marcus. But, that bastard seemed to find it funny to piss me off.

Everytime he saw me he'd do something to remind me of the day before, like sticking his tongue out or blowing me a kiss. He was getting on my nerves.

Why on earth do I love that jerk?

I got to my last class, sciene, and sighed. I had been trying so hard to ignore Marcus that I hadn't really been paying attention in class. I knew generally what we learned but, it wasn't specific.

I sat down and closed my eyes. "Hey! You're Eliot, right?" My eyes popped open and I turned sideways. There was a girl smiling at me. I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, why?" I never got talked to.

She sighed in relief. "I'm Cally. I'm getting put as your new lab partner because your old one moved and transferred to a new school."

I frowned. I didn't know that. "Oh. Nice to meet you." I turned back and closed my eyes again.

"That's all? I'm supposed to be your partner for the rest of the year and that's all you say? 'Nice to meet you'?"

I frowned and glanced at her. "Well, I'm not used to meeting new people because I don't really have friends."

"No wonder." She sighed and held out her hand. "Let's start over. Hi, I'm Cally. What's your name?"

I took her hand and shook it. "Eliot."

She grinned. "Nice to meet you, Eliot. Hope we can be friends as well as partners!"

I couldn't help but, smile. "Me too. So, how good are you at biology? We're working on the human body."

She shrugged. "If you mean how much porn I've watched then I'm pretty sure I'll do well in this class."

I blushed and glared at her. She laughed. "You know, you're kinda cute. The red makes it even better."

I rolled my eyes and turned away rubbing my cheeks to cool them down. She sat down in the empty seat next to me and pulled out a book. I took a sideways peek at it and saw it was a comic book. "You read comics?"

She turned to me, looking almost offended. "This is not a comic book." I raised an eyebrow. "It's called manga. There is a big difference." She said.

I frowned. "How? You just read it backwards."

She let out an exasperated sigh. "What is wrong with the non-otaku part of the planet? Manga has a completely different type of art and speech. Its also made by the lovely Japanese people who know how to make a good yaoi book."

I tilted my head in confusion. "Yaoi?"

She stared at me then a huge smile crossed her face. "Meet me behind the school after class."

I was going to ask her why but, the teacher walked in and I had to turn back to the front and pay attention. I caught Cally glancing at me and giggling all through class and I started to get nervous.

Is this some prank that she's in on? Should I go?

In the end I still went. I stepped outside and walked around to the back. I wasn't going to meet up with Marcus anyways. He made me mad so he could suffer and day without me.

I poked my head around the back corner of the school and looked around. I didn't see Cally and I sighed. I was about to walk away when I heard her voice. "Eliot! Over here!"

I turned to where I'd heard her and saw the hyper girl sitting under a tree. I walked over and stood there awkwardly. "So, what did you want to talk about?"
