A few weeks have passed since Christina and I messaged or talked properly. She has been liking my posts and liking my stories on instagram but never reaches out. I can tell she's being more distant than she was at the beginning. She has been super icy towards me during class. I feel like I've done something wrong. Maybe she didn't want this or wanted to get to know me anymore.
We started our TA sessions but she doesn't talk to me at all other than giving me instructions which I follow to the letter.
I don't want to disappoint her.
I have tried engaging with her and get her to open up but she shuts me down which is kind of getting on my nerves a bit. I tell her everything about me but all she does is pipe up with an occasional 'oh' or 'yea' not giving me much back.
During our sessions, I have noticed that she seems really off and she keeps taking to someone called Tate on her phone. She shouts at them stating "it's done and to stop calling her." But again that's none of my business, I just get on with what I'm doing.
Today is finally Friday and we all handed in our new assignments. I have been doing really well and getting the top grade on every single piece of work so far. Miss Powers praises me highly on my work so that makes me feel super proud of myself.
Miss Powers begins giving us PowerPoint presentation about some in-depth development management and asks us to fill in some work sheets for the rest of the lesson.
I pull my laptop out to help me and begin my work.
"Oh hey, it's Allie right? I'm Cayleigh Morgan." A girl said from beside me.
She has long blonde hair with slightly darker pieces underneath. A septum piercing and the side of her nose pierced. I even noticed she had a tongue piercing like mine when she spoke. She has a clear complexion and her lips are lined to perfection. She is so pretty.
This is what Cayleigh looks like...

"Hi yea, it's lovely to meet you. I know this is straight forward but how did you know my name already?" I said laughing.
"Ohhh yea I'm sorry that kind of sounded weird, I remembered it from the first day of class when Miss Powers asked your name in front of the class." Cayleigh said trying to explain.
"Ohhh yes of course, I forgot about that." I said feeling slightly embarrassed.
We talked and worked the whole two hours of class.
Cayleigh is lovely. She told me all about herself. She's originally from California. She has two brothers. A dog called Buster and loves social media. She plays soccer and has two best friends, Taylor and Jessica who both attend this school. I told her everything about me too, my family, my pets, my goals and all about my move. I told her about Dylan, Hudson and Noah. I felt like we really connected.
We were sat in the front row of the lecture hall and we were laughing when all I heard was someone clearing their throat in front of me.
"ahem ahem" I looked up and saw Miss Powers glaring at me and back at Cayleigh.
"Wow, doesn't this sound like a lovely catch up!?" She said sarcastically, faking sympathy, her eyes has changed and I could feel them burning into me.
"I hope you both complete your sheets before the end of class Miss Lawes. If not you will see me after class and complete them in your own time under MY supervision, am I clear?! You are old enough now, act your age." She said in a harsh voice that gave me bad goosebumps over my body.
"I'm s-sorry Miss Powers. It won't happen again." I said looking down.
"No, you are totally right, it won't. Head down and WORK!" She said through greeted teeth.
Wow she must be really pissed off today. Cayleigh and I both looked at each other, smiled and carried on completing our work sheets in silence.
The bell finally rings and the class is over. Thank goodness because I wasn't sure how much longer I could handle being glared at every two minutes by Miss Powers. What is her problem today? I thought to myself.
"Hey Allie. Taylor, Jessica and I are hanging out at the local burger restaurant tonight if you wanted to come and join us?" Cayleigh asked whilst we packed our stuff away.
It would be nice having a few girl friends I thought to myself.
"Yea, that would be lovely actually Cayleigh. When and where?" I asked her.
"Yay perfect. Here I'll give you my number and I'll send you the details later." She asked holding her hand out wanting my phone.
I handed her my phone and she put her number in. She texted herself off my phone so she had my number.
"Perfect, see you later Allie." She said, I could tell she was almost smirking. Which made me heart race a little. Cayleigh grabbed her bag and walked out with the rest of the students.
I packed up my stuff and turned around and stood up from my seat. I looked over to Miss Powers desk as I walked towards the door. She was holding heavy eye contact on me, almost studying me. She looked so angry.
