Silver Soul

One Eyed Boy

It was the second day of school and I was dreading it. Again I was the first one up. I got up from bed started my record player,I played Daydream by Wallace Collection it was my mother's favorite song. I took my box of cigarettes that I hid in my book shelf. I opened my balcony door and smoked while I watch the sunrise.

So much had happened in so little time I've been here. Can today be less chaotic? I felt someone staring at me it felt way to familiar. I turned to my right and there was Descamps again in his balcony smoking too. He had on a white cotton patch on his left eye,I couldn't help myself he looked handsome really handsome. We started at each other for a while but I could already hear my brother getting ready for school so I stepped on my cigarette and went back inside not saying a word to Descamps.

I wore a white dress with a black bow on my half up half down hair. From thinking of Descamps I forgot to get a jacket but I was too late to go back because we were in front of the school gates. I waited outside for Annick,for being the second day of school I was already used to the attention and gazes from the boys. Then all the attention disappeared from me and went straight to the one eyed boy that was walking towards me.
I pretended to not notice him but it was hard too with his tall height and his sent of oaks and cigarettes.

"My mother wanted me to give this back to you" Descamps was holding up my cardigan from yesterday that he used for his eye.
"Thanks" I said not trying to make this awkward
He turned to walk away but then stopped his tracks and turned back around to face me.
"Thank you for helping me yesterday"he said while trying to avoid eye contact.
"Mhmmm"I said back not wanting to forgive him for what he did to me and my friends.
"This is the part where you apologize too"he said arrogantly
Why would I apologize I didn't do anything to you. I squint my eyebrows
"Ah no how about your fucking boyfriend that caused me to lose my eye" he said angrily
I had nothing to do with that,and Magnan is not my boyfriend for your information.
Before he could say anything else my brother stepped in front of me.
"Morning Joseph" Sebastian gave him a sarcastic smile.
"Morning"he said while taking out a cigarette from his jacket pocket.
"See you in class Miss Blanchet" he yelled while walking away.

I sat alone in history because Annick never showed up to school at least not on time. She came in ten minutes after the bell. Of course Mrs.Giraud had something to say about her tardiness.

As I was writing down dates that were on the board,I heard rumbling behind me I found it strange because usually the two boys that sat behind us were always so quiet.
"Applebaum move out of the way"
"No this has been my spot since day one"
More rumbling was heard and finally it stopped.
Then I felt my hair being pulled but I ignored it,it might have been an accident. But when it happened six times I had enough my head was starting to hurt.
"Can you leave me alone Applebaum"I whispered
Then I big tug was pulled so hard my head moved back.
I turn around and kicked who I thought was Applebaum in the leg.
"Oww what the hell" Descamps moaned quietly
I was shocked because I didn't expect him to be behind me it was always Applebaum and Lamaziere. I turned to look at Lamaziere and at Applebaum that was behind Descamps setting in his old seat.
Applebaum shrugged his shoulders at me he was confused too.

"Leave me alone Joseph"
"Mmmm no,not until I get my apology"
"Or maybe something else" he whispered in my ear while rubbing his fingers on my arm.
My breath became shorter and I didn't stop him,until he scoffed and sat back down in Applebaums chair.

I was saved by the bell, I packed my books in my bag as fast as I could.Annick saw the hurry I was in so she too was packing in a fast paste. I grabbed her arm "Let's go"we practically ran out of the room.
We had gym the next class,and Simone and Michele were waiting for me and Annick to get dressed.
"Um Simone we'll be out in a little you two can start walking in"I said
"You sure" Michele questioned me
Yup we'll be okay
When I made sure no one was outside I looked at Annick
"So is there a reason why you basically dragged me out of class"asked Annick
"It's complicated Annick"
"Just tell me please"she begged me
So I did I told her what happened in class with Descamps and what happened this morning.
We started to walk to gym class
"So what does this mean,do you maybe have feeling—
"Eww Annick don't say that out loud" I said making a disgusting look
"What would it be so bad"
"Mmm let me think about it..... yes he humiliated me and Michele,especially Michele"
"Ya I guess you're right,but he is handsome you know especially now with his patch one"she laughed and a little giggle came out of my mouth.
