Pain, Passion & Obsession

Chapter Three: Son of a B****

    Athena put up both of her hands and moved away from me a little so I could get up. Only I didn't want to get up because it would mean looking at Ritsuka. So instead I got up and just faced my back towards her.

    Athena gave me a confused look and I whispered to her. "Just run bitch, what's she going to do chase us! Not in those high heels, lets Book it!"

    We did just that, Athena and I took off running around the corner of the building and through a random door after running a bit. Once we reached an hallway upstairs I laughed my ass off.

"Ah reminds me of the old days, like when we first met!"

"Yes yes it doses! Except if you ever call me "bitch" again I'll make you regret it Tatsu." Athena said turning to face me with her hands on her hips.

    I playfully punched her shoulder and shook my head. "Okay tough woman relax a little yikes! I was joking around."

    She rolled her eyes but stayed by my side nevertheless. We may sound mean to each other or like we hate each other but we'd never just leave. We always talk things out and make it work. If it was anyone else next to me right now I'm sure they'd have flipped me off and walked away.

    Athena and I walk down the halls to our lockers. Even though I know she was annoyed with me she still held my hand. Then the realization hit me like a train. Ritsuka, what the hell did she think was going on! She definitely saw Athenas face but maybe she didn't see mine. No I mean she must have I looked right into her eyes! However she also could have missed it!

    Well, what do I care if she did right, it's none of her business. "Shit, sorry honey I have to split. I forgot I had a meeting with my teacher before class!"

   Just like that she was gone. Without Athena to focus on I suddenly realized how loud the halls were. I put in my ear buds and cranked up rich girl while I walked to my first class of the day.

You know whats worse than biology to me, math! Math is something I've struggled with my whole dam life no matter how much Athena tutors me I can't get it. I suck at anything other than hands on work or writing. So I did what I do everyday when I have math, headphones in and drown everything out. When I go home I'll watch videos and try to teach myself the lesson. It's exhausting to do but I find that it's the only thing that works.

For some reason I can never understand anything in class but when I study it my own way I understand everything. If only schools were more focused on teaching you things you want to learn instead of useless things we would do better. I'm not saying get rid of math and all that but maybe only require a year or two then let us learn things we want.

I was so deep in my own thoughts and music that I didn't know the teacher was calling me until he was standing next to me.

"Excuse me Miss. Hamai, am I impeding on your fun here?!" He said while taking my earbuds out. I clenched my fists trying to keep myself from shoving him and telling him off.

He could have just tapped the desk in front of me and I would have given him my attention. Touching my belongings and invading my personal space seemed unnecessary to me.  "You are being called to Miss. Akira's office."

"And who is that exactly?" I've never heard a teacher by that name here.

"Your biology teacher. You really don't pay attention do you Miss. Hamai."

Shit he means Ritsuka, I never got her last name. Now I'm feeling nauseated I don't want to see her after this mornings incident. "Oh and take your things with you, you won't be back before class ends."
