It's okay.

Chapter 3

When they pulled up to the school, all the parking spots were basically taken. The buses were all around the school dropping kids off. Vanny and Clara were late, but not that late. Vanny opened the car door for Clara and grabbed her hand as they walked into the elementary school. " you ready?" Vanny asked "I think so!" Clara said, with her shy little voice. they walked in, and Vanny let go of Clara's hand. " I'll see you at 3:30" said Vanny "okay! Don't be late!" Clara demanded "okay!" Vanny chuckled "Have fun." Then Vanny walked over to the high school she wished that she had a big sister to comfort her before she went in, but she didn't she was alone. She went to her locker and opened it up she stuffed a few of her things into it then she started walking to her first class. As she walked by all the different sweaty kids she was hearing their conversations "spring break parties were NAAASSSTYYY you just had to be there bro" Jake said -one of the most annoying guys in the school but also one of the most popular- He obviously wasn't talking to Vanny he didn't even know who Vanny was. He was talking to one of his friends. His friend said "what do you mean nasty?" Jake smirked and said "you know what I mean..." then all his friends started laughing. Vanny was disgusted but she was used to it she hated all those dumbasses anyway. She thought they must of all been dropped as babies. She kept walking and saw McKenna. Vanny quickly put her AirPod in and pretended not to see McKenna. The bell rang and she opened the door to her first period. She sat at the back of the class as always, and opened her book. Then she pressed play on the playlist on her phone. The music was in her ears and her mind went somewhere else. Then she heard a voice saying "is this seat taken?" She looked up and said "huh?" "Can I sit here?" Said the boy that was standing above her desk. He had messy, wavy, light brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Vanny took out her AirPod and looked up "sorry, What did you say?" Vanny said feeling kinda bad. Noticing that Vanny didn't seem to want him to sit there he decided to not "Oh uhm sorry....ill just go sit over-" " No it's fine!" Vanny said. The boy sat down at the desk next to Vanny "I'm Alex by the way" the boy said while looking over at Vanny who had already gone back to her book. Vanny looked up at him "I'm Vanny" she did a little half smile before the teacher started talking. Once the class had ended Vanny started grabbing her stuff "hey can I have your number?" Alex asked her "oh sure I guess so..." Vanny handed him her phone so he could put the number in. "If you don't mind me asking ...Why do you want my number?" Vanny asked him "I don't know...im new and you seemed smart so you could help me with stuff..." Alex said nervously. Vanny could tell that to "help him with stuff" was not the reason he wanted her number but she thought he was nice and for some reason she felt like she could trust him. "Here" he said as he handed Vanny back her phone "thanks" Vanny said. she smiled and looked into his eyes for what felt like forever, but it was only a few seconds. Alex smiled "okay-I've gotta go to the next class" Vanny said and grabbed her bags "yeah, me too." Then alex walked out of class. Vanny walked down the hallway again, reading one of her many books, she was so caught up in the story that she didn't notice where she was going and she bumped right into the blonde blue eyed quarterback of the football team - Jake. She dropped her books on the ground and immediately started picking up her things. Jake looked down and said "what's wrong with you!?" Vanny looked up and saw who she had bumped into. "I-I'm sorry." Vanny said quietly. "Whatch where you're going next time!" Jake said as he kicked one of Vanny's books across the hallway. Vanny hated him. She stood up and looked straight into his eyes "fuck off" she mumbled quietly and started to walk away. Jake grabbed her arm tightly "what did you say" he growled. Vanny felt his hand tighten around her wrist, it hurt. Vanny looked into his eyes "I said-FUCK OFF!" Vanny screamed demandingly. Jake looked at her and squeezed her wrist tighter, Vanny winced. Tears were starting to develop in her eyes, but she wasn't going to cry, not in front of him. Jake looked into her glassy green eyes, his face changed. He looked sad. He looked embarrassed of what he did then he immediately let go of her wrist. "I-Im sorr-" he stuttered. Vanny just walked away she was thinking about what just happened. Why did he let go of her wrist? Why was he trying to say sorry that was not how he had ever treated her before, she didn't understand she hated not knowing what was happening. She hated not understanding. This made her angry. The time was now 3:25 PM, school had ended and Vanny was walking over to the elementary school. She saw Clara waiting, Then she started running to her. "Hey Claire bear!" Vanny said while picking up Clara into a big hug. "Vanny! Guess what? I had so much fun! I learned about math and reading and writing!!" Clara talked at 50 words a second. "I'm so glad Claire bear!" Vanny cheered. "Did you have fun today Vanny?" Asked Clara. "Uhm-yeah I had so much fun!" Vanny lied. They got to the car and Vanny buckled Clara into her seat. Then They drove home.
