Hooded Beauty

Chapter 11

So basically this was what I realized:

1 - I ran; they didn't.

2 - The bell rang.

3 - This would count as the most eventful first fay of school in my life.

4 - Nick had a question.

5 - Bananas really are slippery, not just in cartoons. Be careful next time you run for your life and come across a banana. It is cursed.

6 - My butt hurt after the banana incident.

7 - MY BUTT!

8- I had English.

9 - I had no idea where English was.

10 - MY BUTT!

As I stepped into the hallway, I realized that the faces I passed were becoming more familiar. There was Lisa - the funny blonde - texting on her phone, Mr.Riles - music teacher - reading a book while walking, which will eventually cause him to - "Umph!" he blurted as he ran into some random freshman. Talk about human traffic.

And there was MeMe - Asian girl - shuffling through her locker. She looked like a nice person, so I decided to ask her where English was. I was just a tap away from her shoulder when I heard the sound of glass being shattered into pieces. Apparently I wasn't the only one that noticed since MeMe turned to face me with wide eyes. Instead of expecting broken glass, she almost just bumped into a hooded girl. Smooth move Ally.

"Sorry" We apologized simultaneously then chuckled.

"Uhm, do you know where -" I started but was cut off by the sound of broken glass again.

I turned around just in time to see some random eye glasses being stomped on for the third time to the ground. As I looked closely at the tape around the glasses, I realized it was Sam's, and he was no where to be found. My eyes slowly scrutinized the stomping foot upwards just to see the owner of the foot that was about to be dismembered. By me.

Luke.

Anger boiled up within me. "Luke!" I started heading towards him, my eyes accusing. "What. The. Hell." I pointed at the glasses.

He looked up from me to the glasses then back up to me. "What? Even you knew they were crap!" Which sent the audience chuckling.

"They might be a tad broken and fixed up together by tape, but that gives you no right to smash it! I'm sure you were the one who broke it the first time! So why won't you just do us all a favor and mind your own business?"

His nostrils flared. "I'm sorry, am I bothering you?"

Ignoring Luke's body reactions, I bent to the ground and picked up the left over pieces of Sam's glasses.

Where is he?

Turning my head to all directions, I realized my sudden outburst brought out a crowd. Great. Just what I need, more drama. Giving Luke my back, I headed down the hallway once again, looking for my butt head of a friend. I really should teach him self defense.

"Walking away? Seriously? Is that the best you can do?" Luke started from a short distance, as if trying to push my nerves. I stopped for a second as a dramatic effect, feigning a flinch, then kept walking, as if defeated.

Why you may ask? Well then, I'm a thinker. It's people like Luke that don't like being humiliated in public. You see, it's all science. If I didn't flinch, then he'd think I was ignoring him and then kept on walking. That's actually what I'm doing right now, except I faked a flinch in the process, that way he thinks he got the better of me. If he didn't, he'd keep on going, causing more attention. And more attention causes more people to wonder why the new girl won't take off her hood. It's enough that Nick and Jenna already found out.
