Words Hurt

Chapter 6- Ride with Liz

The bell for the last period of the day just rung. I feel as if today has been extra long! I mean it is only the 2nd day of school and I am already getting a bit tired of the idea of it. Summer come back to me! 

I walked into my like class of the day, which was History. I saw Liz in the back corner and decided to sit next to her, since you know she is my best friend and all. She smiled towards me as I walked up. "Hey BB!" she squealed. "Hey Lizzie! I am so beyond happy we have this class together!" I squealed back. Since today is only the second day of school, we didn't see all of our classmates in certain classes. Since the schedule is messed around with and we have half days, called even and odd. Even days we get periods 1, 2, 4, and 6. On odd days we get periods 1, 3, 5, and 7. Its a bit complicated but you get used to it. "Yeah I know right! But there is something I have to tell you..." Liz sounded a bit upset to tell me something. Whatever it was, something was wrong.  "What is it Liz?" I asked, starting to get worried. "I heard a rumor going around class about someone who joined the class. Your not going to like this BB but the person who joined the class is --" Liz was telling me before she got cut off by someone walking into the door. Everyone turned their heads towards the door and went silent. I couldn't believe who it was... yep you probably guessed it. Derek! Oh my god. I couldn't breathe. I noticed he looked around the room for a bit before stopping and looking straight at me. He looked me right in the eyes and just smirked. I quickly turned back around to Liz.  "Lizzie..." I said looking to the ground. Trying to catch my breath and not faint. "BB I know. Calm down! It is going to be okay. You can just get a schedule change. I will change classes with you! It will all be okay!" she tried calming me down but I think it just made things much worst. But then I realized, she was right. I could just get a schedule change out of this class and not have to deal with him at all it is all going to be okay! "Yeah, Lizzie, your right. We can... we can just leave." I said slowly getting my breath back. She rubbed her hand on my back and I calmed down even more. Right after this class I am going to the main office and asking for a schedule change. Everything will be okay.

*Bell Rings*

The whole class I could just feel Derek's eyes piercing into my skin. He didn't take his eyes off of me once. How did he know I was even in this class? Did he hack the school computers and see my schedule? Wait, if he did that then he knows all of my other classes too. What if he switches to those classes too?! I started breathing heavy again and Liz noticed quick. She finished packing her books and everything she had into her bag before doing the same for me, then rushed us both out of the class room. We passed Derek on the way out. He wasn't going to leave before I did, so he just sat there. Right when we got to the door, he got up and followed. Liz noticed this and pushed us into the bathroom. Knowing he wouldn't follow us into there. "Come on girls! I just want to talk!" I heard him yell through the door. I guess the hallways cleared. I doubt he would yell like that if they were full with teachers all around. Liz just went into her bag and got out a bottle of water. "Drink this." she told me. I did as she said and took deep breaths. I then heard, what I guess was Derek stomping away. "Can you go check if he is gone for good?" I begged Liz. She nodded her head before standing up leaving me on the gross bathroom floor. But right now, I didn't care where I was, I just wanted Derek as far away from me as possible. Liz came back and nodded her head once more. "He is gone." she smiled before helping me off the floor. I gave her back the water and she put the bottle into her bag. We just ourselves out in the mirror before with left the bathroom, to make sure we looked okay. We then walked out and headed to Lizzie's car. Good thing there is no sign of Derek.

We made it to Lizzie's car. Troy was there waiting for us. "What took you guys so long?" he jumped off the car and ran over to us. "Nothing we were in the bathroom." Liz told him. I just stayed quiet. Troy noticed I was doing so and automatically knew what was wrong. "Where is he?!" he was mad. "No where. He is gone. Don't worry about it." I said waving my hands. "BB, I don't want him around you!" he was serious. Looked me right in the eyes. I needed him to calm down. There were still people around and I didn't want to draw a crowd. No one really knows what happened between me and Derek other than Liz, Troy, and my parents. I never told anyone else. I grabbed Troy's hand and pulled him closer to the car. "Calm down. Just get in the car. We are all going to Lizzie's" I said. Liz ran to her side and got in starting the car as me and Troy followed. Before I got in Troy stopped me and kissed me. "I don't want him to mess with us again." Troy said. His voice shook. The kiss was short and sweet. "He won't. Ever again. Promise" I said before pecking him on the lips once more before hugging  him. Liz rolled down the passenger side window "Awe, you guys are so cute! But can we go please?" she sounded annoyed but me and Troy just laughed before getting in. I guess me and Troy are a thing? That happened fast.
