Forgive and Forget

Chapter 3~ I Cant Fall For You

"Long time, no see."she whispered only loud enough for me to hear. As she was backing away from me, she punched me in the gut. I bent over holding onto my stomach, listening to her laugh at my pain.

"See you around" her words taunting in my ears. I had to go to school with her for four more years. I had to be abused for four more years. I had to be alone for four more years.

I started to walk towards my first class of the day when I bumped into someone. He turned around, "Watch where your going you scumbag!" He knocked all my books out of my hands onto the floor. Out of everyone, there was one boy that stood out the most. He had wavy brown hair and green-blue eyes with flecks of brown in them.

It was Keaton.

He looked into my eyes and we held eye contact for a few seconds until Lily came over and kicked me and my gaze fell on my books again. I slowly started to pick them up.

He probably doesn't even remember me. How could he? There are thousands of girls in the world and I'm just another one.

He walked away with his friends and took one last look at me. I looked back at him, but quickly looked away. I turned my attention to my books again and started to pick them up. I sighed and stood up.

I started walking down the slowly deserting hall toward my honors chemistry class.

When I entered the classroom, there was one seat left. It was next to Lily and in front if Keaton.

As I walked towards my seat, Lily smirked at me while Keaton and his friend laughed at me. Well this is gonna be a fantastic year. Note the major sarcasm.

I sat down in my seat and wanted to cry. "So I guess we are chemistry partners." Lily said, her smirk getting even bigger. If that's even possible.

"Hey, klutz." I turned around and saw Keaton. My eyes started to sting but I just put on my fake smile like usual.

"Actually, my name is Christie, not klutz." I say a little sassy we than intended.

"Well, Christie, my name is Trevor. He was the one who i bumped into earlier. How 'bout me and you do something sometime?" He winked and laughed. So did Lily and Keaton.

I rolled my eyes and back turned around. This day could not get any worse. But, knowing me and my luck, it probably will.

"Hello, class, my name is Mr. Kristman and since today is the first day of school and there are some very smart freshman in here, lets introduce ourselves." This was a high chemistry class that has mostly sophomores and few freshman, including me and Lily.

A girl stands up, "Hi, my name is Samantha, but I prefer to be called Sam." She says smiling.

How can someone be that happy? Oh yeah, because they aren't me and they've probably have never been through what I have or even came close to experiencing it.

We go around the classroom and introduce ourselves. When I came to my turn, I put on a fake smile and said my name as happily as I could.

---

When I came time for lunch, I went to an empty table and sat quietly by myself.

Well, I saw alone until the girl named Sam from my chemistry class came and sat next to me.

"Hello, I'm Sam." She said smiling. "You are in my chemistry class." I was staring at my food but I could tell she was looking at me.

I finally looked up at her, but not in the eyes, I always felt uncomfortable when I did. "Yup." Is all I said. I didn't feel like talking much, but I might as well because she seems nice and I still haven't made one friend yet.

"Your name's Christie right?" Her eyes were brown and her hair was brown with a little bit of a red in it, kinda like me.

"Yeah." I said. I kept eating. I'm not very good at talking to people or making friends.

"How about you come to my house sometime? I would really like to get to know you more. You seem like a wonderful person." If only she knew.

"Yeah, sure. Maybe tomorrow?" I say. I really wanna be friends with her for some reason.

We talked for a while. Well, mostly she talked. When the bell rang, I was alone again.

"Who were you talking to?" Asked someone to my side. I looked over to the voice. It was Lily.

"Sam." I said. My breath was getting heavy and my heart was racing.

"Christie, don't you remember the rules?" She whispered to me. I felt a shiver go down my spine.

Yes, I do remember the rules. How could I forget them? I didn't answer her, I just kept walking. My steps becoming quicker, but she caught up to me.

"Then maybe I will have to refresh your memory later." She smirked

I practically ran to my class. I wanted to break down and cry.

I ran into someone while running. I fell down on my butt and dropped all my books. I looked up and saw Keaton standing over me.

"I'm sorry." I mumble looking down at my hands, suddenly finding my fingers very interesting. I tried to hold back as many tears as possible, but unfortunately one escaped. Hopefully he didn't see it.

"No, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He asked me. I wiped my tear away and tried to regain my strength. I looked up at him. His eyes were wonderful and I found my self lost in them.

I snapped back to life when he held out his hand and helped me up. I felt sparks. Correction, I felt fireworks. I'm sure he didn't feel them though. I'm just a lonely person and he's a hot, cool guy. "Thanks." I mumble under my breath.

"Your welcome." He replies and just casually walks away.

I cannot fall for him. I cannot. He is mean and a jerk just like all the other guys. What happened to the Keaton Stromberg I saw on the plane? Why is he a jerk now? Maybe he was always a jerk and I was just to blind to see it.

I cannot fall for Keaton Stromberg.
