Amara's POV
"Oh my god we're together in PE too" I said walking a bit faster to catch up with Henry who groaned very loudly "you're like stalking me at this point"
"You'd love that, wouldn't you?" I said teasingly making him smile and shake his head "whatever helps you sleep at night"
We both went into different locker rooms to change which we did. Then we stood in a line in the basketball court so our teacher can take our attendance.
I hate this teacher.
He's a disgusting human being. He tried to touch me, get me alone in a room, kiss me or whatever it is and l'm just so uncomfortable around him.
I wore some sweatpants and a shirt for this because I'm trying my best to hide my body from him. I just feel uncomfortable if I wore anything expository around him.
"Okay since we took the attendance, we're gonna go into groups of two and Henry, you can rest since you hurt your ankle"
He has been limping a bit so it's understandable.
I went next to my friend, ready to play with her but then of course,
Mister fucking asshole had to ruin this for me.
"I'll put you into groups" he started putting people into groups and I was left alone now "you can come with me to get the equipments, Amara." oh my fucking god.
"I can help her" my friend said "focus on stretching" he said still looking at me. What can I do more than fucking cover up? I know reporting him won't do shit because our principal loves him so fucking much.
"Actually." we both turned to look at Henry who stood up. "my ankle doesn't hurt that bad. I can help her" he looked pissed off too.
Like he knows what's going on.
"Nah I think you should rest" he said and he rolled her eyes without him seeing "I'm fine. I'm not gonna die or anything"
We walked to the room that had all the equipments in it "what are we supposed to get though?" Henry said laughing as he scratched the back of her neck "I don't know"
"Thank you for that" I said as we looked around the very messy stuff
"Don't worry about it"
I smiled at him as he looked around without any clue what we're supposed to do "how did you hurt your ankle?" I asked him "I was playing with this little boy in my neighborhood and he like started jumping up and down for some reason so I did the same and twisted my ankle very badly"
I laughed a little at what he said and rested back on the wall behind me as she did the same with the wall in front of me "you're a little stupid" I said and he laughed "he just hypes me up for some reason. My little hype man" He's so cute.
"So your only friend is a six year old?" I asked sarcastically and he rolled her eyes at me "in my defense, he's seven" I let out a small chuckle at his statement "and what changed when you said that information?"
"Let me finish, I was taking a long pause." He paused a little more and I raised my eyebrows at him "..and you did an amazing job at being patient. That's your first lesson"
"First lesson?" Bitch what are you talking about "by the end of this week, Mister Allen is going to make you find a tutor because you sucked ass in math last year-" I gasped and picked up the volleyball beside me, throwing it at him but he caught it very easily and put it to the side as he laughed.
"As I was saying, he's going to tell you to find a tutor and going to suggest me first because I'm the student with the highest grade so if I'm going to tutor you I need you to be patient because it's a process"
"So you're basically calling me stupid?" He looked up for a bit, thinking about what he wants to say then shrugging her shoulders
"basically yeah"
"I hate you" I obviously didn't mean it because I cannot get this smile off my face even when I'm trying to be mad at him.
Then someone opened the door "bitch did you die in here?" My friend said stepping into the room "bitch you almost gave me a heart attack with the way you opened the door"
"I mean I had to check. You escaped the pervert teacher but went with the quiet nerdy kid? Kinda stupid of you" I looked over at Henry to see the smile he had on his face fade away which made me a bit upset.
"He's the one that saved me from him and what's wrong with being the quiet nerdy person?" I have no problem standing up for Henry but he really needs to start standing up for himself.
"Bitch we all know to never hang out with the quiet kid" this is an unnecessary time for her to be without a filter. I saw a mix of emotions on Henry face.
"Since She's here, I'm just gonna leave" Henry said going towards the door and opening it "Henry-" He slammed the door shut before I got to say anything.
"Did you really have to do that, Angie?" She shrugged her shoulders and I rolled my eyes at her "whatever. Let's just get the shit he wants and leave"
———
"Hey" Henry didn't look in my direction as he took his things from his locker, ready to go back home "I wanted to apologize for earlier so here I am.. I'm sorry"
He sighed and closed his locker, finally looking at me "it's fine, I'm not even upset about what she said, I hear it all the fucking time but I am upset at the fact that you hang out with people like that"
I feel like I'm being scolded by my mom. The disappointed tone and everything. I can't even look him in the eyes right now.
"You are genuinely a nice girl. Why are you hanging out with people who judge others without even knowing them? Oh wait I know why." oh god I'm going to hear some facts that I do not want to hear from a hot smart guy.
".you like that your friends are hot and that they smoke, drink and party a lot. Oh and talk a lot of shit about people. That is insane to me because you're the pretty popular girl and you have almost everyone begging to be your friend but you chose those people?"
He called me pretty.
Trying not to blush and shit but this is definitely not what I should've focused on but my brain works like that so I just can't.
"I'm just gonna go" and with that he just walked away.
