Next Ex after Next

Chapter 7

Rheda

Mr. Robert kept explaining what this oxy-moron was.
All I could hear was 'moron'.
I loved his class.
Middle aged funny dad type of tutor if you may.
He really had the power to light up the whole room.
Always giving us books to go read and summarize in class for the next lesson.
He sure knew how to pick great books.
'In your arms' was the book for the month.
We had a project to write about the book.

I knew I hated the theme of the book but it was a great read.
It just reminded me of mad Max.
I always had this inner urge to rip him apart.
I just bided my time.

As I looked at book in front of me my thoughts were spiraling.

I used to love this guy so much I was blind to anything wrong about him.
He was an angel in my eyes.
In the beginning he seemed to be a very nice guy.
Massages when I was cold or sad.
He drove me around town when I was sick and I needed a drive.

Suddenly he changed.
I didn't know why. Mum always thought I was the one who brokeup with him first.
I hardly knew what a breakup was at the time.
I was thirteen. What did I know about love.
At fifteen I was still not ready to replace Max.
I had suffered too deep a wound.

As I finally decided to engulf myself in the 'oxymoron' I heard a voice speak.
I knew who that was.
Shane.
She literally knew everyone on and off campus.
I knew her against my wish.

She loved moving around with Belle.
They seemed to know eachother before they signed into Raven College.
I guess Belle was not doing an English major.
She sat with Mike in the study hall.
I heard her say;"Let's discuss this after lesson cutie".

I turned my head only to see 'cute boy' looking petrified and in shock.
His best friend was hysterically laughing at him.
Then I saw Shane throw a piece of crumpled paper at Kennedy.

She obviously loved being in the back row and had a crush on someone.
Luke probably?
I was convinced it was not him.
How I knew I don't know.
I could just feel it.
She was flirting with someone obviously but I was not convinced she would dare flirt with cute boy.

He seemed to be so embarrassed.
Did he write the note?
Does he like her?
Did she pick it up herself?
I wondered as I looked on.

She flashed a smile as she turned to face the tutor.
I turned almost immediately.

Mr.Robert seemed to notice there was a problem.
He never missed anything in his class.
He slapped his book on the table for silence and everyone was quiet.

Not long after we had come to a close of the lesson.
Cute boy rushed out of the class as quick as he can.
Them daft girls were definitely going to tail him if he slowed down.

I saw Kennedy run after him as they walked out.
I motioned to Amy to follow me as we moved towards the Cafeteria.
The boys were also going for lunch.
I did not care what they did there anyway.

I heard them laugh two tables away.
Turned my head slightly and he saw me.
I wanted the ground to swallow me.
Those blue eyes had a death stare.
I quickly turned around and Amy had a smile on her face.
"Isn't he cute?" She asked.
I shrugged in arrogance as I scanned her face.

She stared at me wide-eyed.
She could not understand why I was not as fascinated.

I decided to engage with the coffee and sandwiches in front of me.
We began chatting away and discussing 'oxymoron'.
Amy sure knew who a moron was.
She had several examples to buttress the point.
Put away a bitter sweet. Mr.Robert sure did his job but these morons needed to be talked about.

Before we realized Jacob and his Vice president had left as we chatted.Thier chairs were empty.
Good for them.

We were finally ready to finish our English project.We returned to the study hall.

Nice to have you here.
How do you think Rheda sees Jacob?
How was your read?
Do leave a review.
Love.
