I think you're so good (and I'm nothing like you)

Chapter 2

Class struggles.

RC eventually found her class before the late bell rang. The teacher was writing something on the board when she came in, so she hurried to the back and took her seat. Outside of being red from running, she was also flustered from seeing that girl. 'Hatsune Miku..' she thought, as she pulled out a notebook and pen. At least she was prepared right?

"Alright class I'm gonna call roll, just say here if you're present alright?" The teacher suddenly said while walking to her desk. She sat down, and pulled up the list. "Alrighty...Alex?" She said scanning the room for the random student. "Here!" a voice could be heard from near the front. RC felt her ears start to blur out the noise, until her name was called. "She's probably not here.. but RC?" The teacher sighed. RC slightly jumped at the suddenly callout. "Uh...I'm here.." she hesitantly said while raising her hand. A quiet chorus of gasps could be heard as the whole class turned back to see their missing classmate.

"Alright settle down! RC, see me after class please. I'm sure you know why." The teacher said with suggestive eyes, but RC couldn't tell if she was in trouble. Some students turned back, while others kept giving small glances towards RC, whispering to their peers and friends.

This made all the anxiety that Curt took away come back. She put her head down in shame as the class started. As time passed, she eventually started to pay attention somewhat, writing down things here or there about the subject. She didn't understand but she tried, she tried for her parents. A lot was running through her mind, that girl, her parents, the students, the teacher, all of it stressed her out dearly, she could barely write.

"Almost...like 15 minutes left, don't worry man!" A random student suddenly nudged RC. She looked over startled, it was a boy with freakishly long hair. "Oh...thanks?" RC had tried to reply with something more enthusiastic but she couldn't.

The boy smiled regardless, "No problem, my name is Jett. Like the plane, except there's 2 t's! I was one of the first to notice you were gone, I'm glad you aren't dead!!" Jett said happily, which caused the teacher to turn for a second and give him a small glare. He gave a quick grin back, mouthing an apology, before turning back to RC.

"I know we haven't talked much but you seem alright. How about we beco-" he was cut off by the loud bell ringing. RC didn't bother waiting to hear him out, she packed her stuff and sped out the room. However, she made it 5 steps before the teacher called her back. "RC! Don't we need to talk?" She said, raising a brow.

RC reluctantly turned back and walked into the classroom. Not making eye contact with the teacher, she awkwardly stood in front of her desk, waiting for the lecture. "Hey...I'm glad to see that you're back. However you have missed a LOT of work, not that you weren't missing any before. I just don't want to see you fail. If you need any assistance I'm available after school for tutoring. Trust in Ms. O! I won't ask much about your absence and all, I'm sure that's personal.." She spoke softly towards RC.

RC stared at her feet, feeling guilt for making her teacher feel bad. "Hey, cheer up, here's this, I'll write you a late pass since I kept you back, and you head off to class alright?" She said while pulling out a paper from her drawer. "Thank you.." RC said when she was handed the signed late sheet. The teacher nodded, and pointed towards the door. RC wasted no time walking to her next class. 'I don't wanna go through this all day.." she thought to herself as she walked down the empty halls.

The next class went the same, the teacher called roll, she got unnecessary attention, and then she couldn't focus from the stress in that class. She had endured yet another talk from her teacher, this time it not being as nice. The health teacher gave her a talk about laziness and attendance before sending her to lunch. She forgot about lunch, she wasn't hungry at all. She decided not to go, and just waited in the library for the next class to start. 30 minutes...just 30 minutes... RC tried to calm herself. But in reality, she wanted to run away, she really wanted to call Curt or Christian as they're always home.
