Chapter 6

After a what felt like a great deal of sleep I checked the time to see it was only two twenty eight in the afternoon. I had only been asleep for forty five minutes. I groaned at the sudden pumping pulse feeling in my forehead as I reached over beside me, eyes still closed, feeling around for my ice pack. Shit.
I tried to find it for a few more seconds before opening my eyes to see the image of pure sunlight engulfing my dorm. One more groan escaped my lips as I sat up slightly, looking over at my nightstand only to realise I left my ice pack in Principal Weems office.

Rolling my eyes at the headache that was already beginning to form again I realised I still hadn't eaten today. Wincing as I slipped out the side of my bed I rubbed my still tired eyes, walking over to my bathroom. If this is what being overage at a academy gets you all to yourself then I'm glad I came.

I pulled all my clothes off my body before climbing in my shower soaking off all my sweat that had accumulated through the morning. I made sure to have a rather quick shower, knowing that my blood pressure will drop if I'm in the hot water for too long. Squeezing the tips of my hair like usual as I stepped out of the warm atmosphere, shivering a little as my skin came in contact with the usual temped air.

Since I wasn't going back to classes I decided to wear some comfy leggings and a sweatshirt and my converse, thinking about going to the cafe I heard about in Jericho for some food. I could just go to the cafeteria but I wanted something different.

I immediately felt bad for leaving Mrs Weems earlier. Even though she didn't technically tell me to stay put in her office I knew that's what she was intending. I can't imagine what she thought when she stepped back in her office and I was no where to be found.

I tried to push past the thoughts and headed down the hallway to leave the school. As I left the corridors and into the courtyard I could see Bianca hanging out with her friends, right where I had to cross through to leave. My heart suddenly stopped in my chest as I saw their heads whip in my direction.

"Feeling any better hmm" Bianca expressed as I walked past her. I tried to ignore her except something inside me wanted to see what else she'd pull. A slight smirk spread across my face as I turned around to face her. "I'm feeling much better thank you" I said making Bianca and her buddy's roll their eyes at me. After what this girl has said to me this morning I wasn't going to let anymore bullshit slide.

I could see her tense up as she slowly walked towards me, her friends falling soon behind.

"I was being sarcastic" I chuckled to myself before responding. "Oh I know" by the now furious look on her face I knew she'd make a big deal out of nothing no I kept walking. "I'll see you around Bianca" I waved at her leaving her dumbfounded. I guess no one here fell into her sarcastic comments and stood up for themselves.

As I was about to leave the gates I heard my name being called. A rather skinny boy was running up to me, out of breath.

"Can I help you?" I questioned, rather confused how he knew my name. I stopped for his benefit as he slowed down into a halt, standing next to me. "I just wanted to say well done" I looked at him even more confused, which he noticed. "For standing up against Bianca I guess, no one ever does" Just what I thought.

"Well thanks, I don't really care what she does to me"It was a lie. Of course I would care but I didn't want to seem like a child to let someone run over me. I saw him smirk a little making me divert my eyes back to the gate, wanting to leave. "Well I hope you don't mind but I really need to get some food" i gestured towards the upcoming road making him understand what I meant. "Of course I'm sorry for keeping you, my names Xavier by the way" I held my hand out wanting to seem more approachable. He took my hand in his shaking it slowly. "I'll see you around Xavier" I waved him off and he left me, walking back into the school grounds as I left them.
