Emerald

3:40 PM

One word to describe my first day back in school; agonizing. Especially with that Alex boy and his overly-energetic friend, Jack, around. I planned on avoiding them entirely after Science, but I realized that they're both in every class I have. Like, what the hell are the chances? Oh, and I have a new nickname, such a surprise. The unfriendly faces now call me "Groves the ho", which makes no sense. I've only had sex once and they don't even know that so how in the actual fuck is that name even relevent to me?

On my way home, I stopped at the park as it's kind of a habit for me. It's where I go to think things out or just if I need to get away.

I sit on the bench and pull my knees up to my chest. The calming quiet only lasted for about ten minutes.

"Nymphet?"

I knew who that voice belongs to because who else calls me that? I roll my eyes and watch him as he sits next to me. "Question." He says. "What?" I huff. "Ever banged on a playground?" He asks. "No, that's disgusting. What the hell?" I scoot away from him.

"It's not as disgusting as you think it is."

"Yes, it is. What ever happened to the classic bed? Somewhere at home, not in public."

"Are you trying to hint that you're classy?" He smirks devilishly. "Far from it. I just have enough common sense not to screw in a public place where children play." I smile sarcastically. "Well when you put it that way it sounds bad." He pouts. "I want to make this clear, Gaskarth." I turn to him. "We're not friends. I don't want friends. Take this as a suggestion to get out while you can and leave me alone."

I stand up and leave before he can say anything else. I do admit that I just did a complete three-sixty degree turn on him. Nothing good ever came out of people having me in their lifes. I wasn't lying, I don't want friends, especially one's that're ignorant. I don't want people to pity me. I'm fine by myself.

With my thinking place officially ruined by Gas-fuck, I have nowhere to go.

The Next Day

The bell rings, signaling that it's time for second hour. Alex wasn't in first hour which gave me hope thinking he wouldn't be in school today. I was actually happy for a minute until I heard Jack screaming down the hallway.

Lovely.

I quickly walked to the Chemistry Lab and sat in my seat. Alex strolled in and winked before taking his seat behind me.

"Alright class, today we'll be starting a project and before all of you moan and groan, it's an easy project." Mrs. Bexly says. "You'll be in groups of three, which I'll be picking."

"Group one; Farrah, Leon and Riley. Group two; Taylor, Ronnie and David. Group three; Emerald, Madison and Bethany. Grou-" She cut herself off. "Actually no. Emerald, you're going to be with Alexander and Jack in Group four. Madison and Bethany will be with Ellie."

I stare at her in disbelief as she lists off the other groups and practically feel Alex cheesing behind me.

I'm losing my fucking mind.

"Would you look at that nymphet, fate, like I said." He moves up one seat and Jack sits in front of us. "I'm going insane." I mumble and massage my temples. "I'm sorry, what was that?" He leans closer to me and I scoot my chair back.
