Summer's Winter

Chapter 25- Anise

Do you know how Knox ignored me and went to a party when he promised that he would hang out with me in the summer?  I didn't want to be alone and just wanted a good time with him. There's more to that. Trust me I will talk more about me and Knox soon. 

School starts for junior year and I already did my tryouts. I'm doing JV with Janella during the winter for badminton again. But spring is when I will be doing Varsity tennis. This means I have the fall season to do my academic competition for my art, debate, and industrial design team. 

Okay schedule-wise, my schedule this year sucks more than last year's schedule. One of my class is going to kill me. Knox Boxer, my boyfriend who has something against me, and Tucker Falter who made fun of my mom, are both in my baking and pastry class. I only have Shayla to talk to in this class. 

Here's where the tea starts. I walked to my boyfriend and he looked at me all funny. Like is probably hiding something from me. Knox sits down next to me but he is always on his phone a lot. Also does Shayla.  He was acting all weird when I asked what was up with him. Maybe he was depressed inside and didn't want me to know about it. 

Oh boy, I was wrong. I don't even know how the fuck to process this. I don't know which one of them has broken me more. He is texting Shayla. Shayla is texting him. She knows damn well that me and Knox are dating and I told her I don't want her talking to my man. 

To make things worse I talked to some of our other friends to tell them what's up. Harley and Quinn already knew somewhat about Knox and Shayla. Shayla has been going to that party and flirting with him and hitting him up. Me and Janella were shocked. Harley and Quinn don't know what else about Shayla and Knox. 

"Look we didn't know when you tell you Anise. We also knew it was wrong. We were planning to kick her out of our group." Harley and Quinn said. 

Me and Janella looked at each other. 

"I think we need to kick Shayla out of our group. She is so fake" I said. 

"Agreed" Janella said. 

During the seminar, we moved to a separate table where there were only 4 seats available. I think Shayla got the motive. Oh, I tell you my study motivation increased because of Knox and Shayla. I wanted to show Shayla and Knox that they were wrong for doing that to me. 

I won many awards for debate and industrial design, and my art was hung in the school's gallery. THE SCHOOL'S GALLERY. THAT'S A FLEX. I felt so confident when the PA system every day called out the achievements I made for my academic teams during classes and seminars. 

Shayla seems to notice my achievements. Knox does too. I ignored Know though. My group before classes start hangs around under the stairs. Knox is a popular ugly dude. He keeps staring at me when I talk to Janella, Harley, and Quinn under the stairs. 

During baking and pastry, I wanted to move. I moved next to Tucker. Shayla took my seat and Knox smiled. HE SMILED. Shayla, you are so fake. So does Knox. I feel so infuriated. Shayla looks at Knox all Pick me and shit. Like she is always begging for attention. 

Shayla came up to me and my group during the seminar. We look at her in disgust. She came over to us begging for us to let her get back in the group. She begs and begs, but no one cares. She is immature right now. If she knows that she fucked up. She needs to break up with Knox and then apologize. THE DAMN AUDACITY. 

I gathered the ingredients in baking and pastry while Tucker stared at me. He is the dishwasher but, he doesn't have dishes in the sink yet so he just looks at me. I looked away. He did apologize to me though. Maybe I was being petty. I look at him. I just waved. He smiled and waved back. He smiled. He combed his ash blonde hair again and rubbed his silver eyes. 

"Tucker, wash your hands. You touched your face" I said. 

"It's fine, it's just little germs," He said. 

"It's not," I said. 

He listens to me and wash his hands.
