Chapter 2~ Does anyone know how I feel?
POV- Pheenix
I walk all the way to school in anger and when I get there I realize I forgot my schoolbag. Damn it. I rub my forehead, too late to go back and get it. I have to get to my first class before the bell rings. I keep my head down as I hurry to get to the school's entrance. As I'm about to reach for the door I bump into someone and get slightly pushed back. I look up and see a girl sitting on the floor trying to gather her papers up. I realize I'm the one who pushed her to the floor and I bend down the help her pick her things up. I push papers into a pile and she shakes her head.
POV-Daliss
I walk to the bus stop and jump on the bus right before it leaves. When the bus stops near my school, I stand up and say a quick thanks to the driver I as I hop off the steps and walks towards the door keeping my head down not to attract any unwanted attention from the group of popular kids hanging near the school entrance. As I'm about to reach for the door, I slam into a hard chest and fall to the ground sending my schoolbag and my homework sheets to the ground in a big mess. I sigh and get on my knees to start sorting them back together. I see hands helping and I suspect their the ones of the guy I bumped into. I see him placing Science homework with my English essay and I shake my head so he lets me put it back together the way I want it. I then look up to see his face and the way he stares at me, suddenly makes me feel as if he's looking right through me.
POV- Pheenix
"No, no. Leave it. You're getting all my homework mixed up." She says and that's when I see her eyes. Her deep dark brown eyes that keep me staring into them and after a while I need to pull my stare away against my own will. She stands up and zips her schoolbag back up. She puts it on her shoulder and reaches her hand out to me with a slight smile.
"Name's Daliss." She says casually as I look at her hand and then her face.
"You're supposed to shake it..." She says tilting her head as I leave her hanging. Of course I am, jeez, snap out of it, Pheenix.
"Pheenix." I manage to say as I take her small hand in mine and gently shake it. She smiles again and I let go of her hand and motion to the door.
"Well...I better go." I say awkwardly and she nods.
"Oh, right! Yeah. Me too." She says equally as awkward and she hurries past me into the school letting the door hang open. I get in and hurry to my first class as the bell rings. The teachers looks up as I open the class door.
"Late again Mr. Tyler." She says unimpressed. I felt like glaring at her and telling her its not my fault I bumped into someone but I would just sound stupid. Besides, that was my fault. I just nod and walk to the empty seat at the back of the room.
"Okay, everybody. Take your homework out." Mrs. Lexington says looking around as everybody starts taking some papers out of their binders and some already have sheets on their desks. She walks around picking them up one by one nodding at them. When she gets to me I look down at my desk and back up at her shaking my head.
"Where is your homework?" She asks and I try to answer but before I have a chance she interrupts me and shakes her head.
"No more excuses, detention after school, Mr. Tyler." I bite down and flex my jaw to keep from talking rudely back to her. I hate how she says Mr. Tyler, she says it as mockingly as she can. I cross my arms against my chest and block the rest of the class out waiting for it to end. I hate English.
POV- Daliss
I run to my first class hoping I'll get there before the bell rings. Just as I'm about to open the door of the classroom the bell rings and I curse under my breath. I quickly open the door and close it behind me. Hopefully Mr. Lincoln isn't on-
"You're late Mrs. Taylor! Detention!" -edge today... I sigh to myself and nod as I go take a seat in the front row. The teachers here are all so severe about punctuality! Well, that is except Mrs. Greendore, she's always late for the classes she teaches so our punctuality doesn't really matter to her. I hurry to take my social studies homework out and place it on my desk. After Mr. Lincoln picks our papers up, he walks back to the front and starts today's lesson. I try to concentrate but desperately watch the old wall clock hoping it would speed up. I hate Socials.
POV-Pheenix
Once my first class is over, I head out of the class and hurry to my next one. Thank god it's Friday. I need a break from this place. I step in to the science lab for my next class and I immediately spot Dallas sitting at the back alone, at one of the tables. I look around and then decide to go sit next to her. She looks up at me and smiles.
"Oh hey! Pheenix, right?" She asks carefully and I nod smirking.
"Daliss, right?" She smiles and nods.
"You realize we both have names of places in Texas, right?" She asks and smirks as she add the "right?" at the end.
"Yeah, pretty cool, right?" I ask and continue the chain. She laughs slightly.
"Yeah." She says breaking our chain of adding "right?" to the end of each sentence.
"Okay, class. Look over to the person beside and get to know them because they're going to be your partners from now on till the rest of the semester. If you don't like your partner, well, you shouldn't have sat next to them." Mr. Citress says and some students laugh at his comment. I look over to Dallas and reach my hand out.
"Pleasure to meet you partner." She laughs but doesn't shake my hand.
"You're supposed to shake it." I say mimicking her voice and she shakes her head as she finally shakes my hand.
"Ha. Ha. Funny." She says sarcastically. Our teacher starts jotting instructions for our experience on the board and Dallas starts taking notes. She glances at me.
"Aren't you going to take notes?"
"I forgot my schoolbag at home." I say huffing and she laughs. I glance at her.
"It's not funny. I have detention now 'cause I didn't have my homework. Again." I huff again.
"I got detention too." She says matter of factly.
"Why?" I ask.
"Late for class." She says as she continues to jots notes down.
We complete the experiment and wait until the bell rings.
