We met in September

CHAPTER 2

Elise

Avocados are weird. It always ruins the taste of my mouth, but the most weird thing right now is watching the boy walk away from me, the same boy who was laughing with me sitting in front of the abandoned pool.
Why is he being like this? Or was it someone else? No it was clearly him. The same dark fluffy hair, that makes me wanna ruffle it. He was wearing a black hoodie again but a different one, I thought I will be able to see him smile again but....

I slowly shake my head, brushing my thoughts away and start walking towards the school. I take out a tissue from my jeans pocket and spit out the avocado from my mouth then throw it in the dustbin as I enter the building.

*ೃ༄.ೃ

I hate this. I hate the laughing voices, the whispering, the voice in my head saying look at them all judging you they're probably making fun of you right now, aww look at this loner walking around with no friends

SHUT UP

They are not talking about me. I'm just overthinking, like always. I hate this, I hate coming here but this place is heaven compare to the place I call home. As long as i am away, away from home
I will do anything to be away from home, as long as I can. I started working part time at a café just so I have a excuse to be late, a excuse to be away from home. I will tolerate this place, tolerate being alone. Just to be away from home

Today my first class is English. This is the only class I like besides art. I step in the classroom and go sit in my usual place : the last seat in the left corner, everyone still chatting around in the class, the popular girl sitting in the middle, chatting with her friends surrounding her : Jenny Scott, also a cheerleader and always comes to school with a bow in her head. The chattering got lower as Ms. Miller walked in "Okay now without wasting time, everyone open your books" she says opening her own book, flipping the pages then she looks front, her specs shining with the sun rays

"Did everyone bring their assignments I told to do last week?" She asks as some groaned and some said yes, Ms. Miller turned her head towards the popular girl "Jenny? What about you" she says folding her arms, "I didn't do it duh" Jenny says with a smirk at the end and everyone laughs "Jenny!" Ms. Miller shouts as everyone slowly stops laughing

"You know Ms. Miller I got cheerleading practices and so many other works to do, I just don't get the time" Jenny says, pouting like a kid "No excuses. I want the assignment by the end of this week" Ms. Miller says as Jenny nods still with that pout "okay"

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ˏˋ°

"Here" I say handing the assignment to Ms. Miller, the class just ended and half of the class is already out "Thank you Elise" Ms. Miller takes the assignment from me with a small smile and continues doing her work. Then I hear a small giggle from the back "look at that loner" i turn around and see Jenny and her two friends walking out of the classroom, laughing. I bite my lip hard, so hard it might start bleeding, I take a deep breath and walk out of the class.

I kept walking on my way to my locker, trying to not listen to the voice in my head, to not overthink, they're not talking about me. Just because some girls do doesn't mean the whole school will, they don't even know you, they don't care about you, then why would they even care to say anything about me?, oh well Jenny is the daughter of the mayor, she can turn everyone against you. No, I am overthinking. I am just overthinking there's nothing like that

I suddenly stop in the corridor as I saw him, the boy who walked away from me this morning, the boy who said his name was Drew, he just came out from a classroom, he's in the same grade as me?, a blonde haired guy comes out of the class and quickly walks towards Drew to reach him then he puts his arm on Drew's shoulder as they continue walking down the hallway.
