Hope Your Heart Is Strong Enough (Francisco Lashowski)

Chapter 2

''You have three seconds to get up from this table'' He said and seemed really pissed.

I rolled my eyes even though he can't see me since I'm looking at my phone. I skipped a giggle for his childish act, like come on we're in university now, who the hell takes counting to three as a threat ? He finishes counting and I'm still sitting.

''Listen, I don't know what's your problem but I hope that we're not going to fight over a table like kids in elementary school.'' I said and looked up at him.

He opened his mouth to speak but stopped. He finally left my table and turned around the class looking for a place to sit in, there's only an empty table in the front and another one next to me which is the one Ian is supposed to sit in. I looked at my phone again and went through my Twitter page, I heard someone putting his stuffs on the table next to me and I looked up expecting to see Ian but to my surprise,it's the same boy who I was talking to.

''Bitch,'' He muttered under his breath as he sat down.

''Exfuckingcuse me ?'' I snapped and turned to look at him.

''You heard me,'' He answered, not even looking at me.

''Asshole,'' I muttered.

''Excuse me ?'' He said looking at me.

''You heard me.'' I smirked and didn't make any eye contact with him. He didn't add a single word.

Such an incredible way to start the school year !

The professor entered the classroom minutes later, he was a handsome young man with  dark brown hair. He looked around twenty five year old and he was wearing a blue suit. I looked around the classroom and couldn't see Ian anywhere. Where the hell is he ? Why didn't he come to class ?
The classroom's door opened pulling me out of my thoughts and Ian was standing in front of the door.

''Sorry I'm late,'' He said looking to the professor. The teacher told him to have a seat and he looked around and noticed me, his eyes went wide when he saw the boy sitting next to me, the one I arugued with earlier. Ian finally took a seat in the front and I noticed him pulling his phone.

''Okay so my name is Joseph Roy and I'm your english teacher," The teacher announced as he wrote his name on the board and underlined it, I never understood why teachers always underline their names after writing them on the board. I can tell that I'm already so bored because I'm thinking of this shit. ''As you can see, you'll be starting the week with my hour so I hope it'll lighten up your mood for the rest of the week,'' He said and I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I grabber it silently and I read a message from Ian.

Ian : Why are you sitting next to Jason

Me : Who ? Oh you mean the tall guy with dark brown hair ? He sat here after we argued about a stupid thing, don't worry I'm not even gonna talk to him I despise him already. I'll just avoid him.

Ian : Ugh you already got in trouble with that guy ! I'm afraid avoiding him will be hard.

Me : Why ?

Ian : Because he lives in the house right across you ?

My jaw dropped as I read his message.Amazing I just killed two birds with one stone fighting with a neighbor and a classmate. I don't care much though, it's better not to talk to him anyway because he seemed really rude.

The bell rang announcing the end of the class and I put my stuffs in my bag and quit the classroom. I found Ian standing in the hallway with his friend, he's waiting for me I suppose. I joined them and greeted his friend.

''Hey Max right ?'' I said to Ian's friend.

''It's Matt.'' He corrected me politely.

''Yeah Matt, sorry'' I said.

''So you didn't know that Jason is your neighbor ?'' Ian asked raising his eyebrow.

''No I didn't, I just moved in and I didn't have the chance to go out. God I just knew his name.''

''You got in trouble with him ?'' He added.

''Define trouble because we just arugued a bit.'' I said.

''Talking to Jason itself is trouble let alone arguing with him.'' Ian said and he seemed really concerned.

''Is he that bad ?'' I asked them both because they both seemed to know him.

''Jason is so smart, he has excellent grades and he's always in the first places. But he's not a nerd, he's so rude to almost everyone and so sassy, still, everyone loves him especially girls because he's so handsome, good looking, smart and so damn rich. He can have any girl he wants, toy with her and then throw her away with no guilt at all. And if someone pisses him off once, he's over. He has a lot of ways to revenge and no one will ever have the guts to yell at him or challenge him, everyone will stand in his side no matter who he's fighting with. That's why you wouldn't like to even say 'hello' to him.'' Matt said, his tone very serious, his words sent goosebumps down my body but I shook it off quickly.

''You scared me a bit you know ?'' I smiled. ''But I think you guys are over reacting, I mean he might be rude and all but he's not the devil, he's just like us. He must have a weakness point like all of us.'' I said trying to be courage even though deep down I feel scared a bit after what Matt said. Not scared, I just hate getting in trouble with people. It'll waste my time.

''Bullshit. He's a Junior which means that he's in Howard university since three years and he has been the dominant since he was in freshman and year after year he's becoming more bossy. And now that he's one step away from Senior we should expect a lot from him. Don't you think if he had a weakness point then students would use it against him ?'' Matt asked and I take a long breath and wrinkled my nose.

''Just stay away from him Faye okay ?'' Ian said and I nodded. ''And let's hope he forgets about the argument you've had with him and Matt and I will have your back whatever happens.'' I looked at Matt in confusion because I barely know him, I met him only today.

''Don't look at me that way, Ian and I are friends since high school and my friend's friends are my friends too.'' He said and I smiled widely.

I checked the time and realized that I'm late for my Maths class which I'm taking alone so I leave Matt and Ian and head to my class.
