Finding Onyx

Chapter 3: Time To Go

**Bianca's POV**

Onyx stood up and punched me in the face. I felt her hand hit my face, my head smack the ground, then my vision went black. I wasn't sure what I did, but now I had to get revenge. She couldn't just hit me! While I was out, I saw myself hurting her, and I knew that's what I would do. But, you can't blame me! She was the one to throw the first punch! She doesn't know what she got herself into!

**1 hour later**

I woke up on the floor of the classroom, 2 teachers standing over me, and I could feel people looking at me. I sat up, and everyone got out of my face. I stood up and brushed some dust off my pants.

"Are you okay?" Mrs. Paige, my Language Arts teacher, asked me. The other teacher was the principal, Mrs. Clark.

"I'm fine. Where'd she go?" I asked calmly. I knew how to keep my cool.

"We're not sure," Mrs. Clark replied. "Why?"

"I was going to ask her to apologize, but since we don't know where she's at, I guess I won't," I smiled.

"Well...um," Mrs. Paige smiled back at me. I knew I was probably the first to say that I just wanted her to apologize for punching me and knocking me out, and then everything would be fine, so I was happy.

"I guess I should go to my next class?" I suggested and packed up my things. I walked out of the classroom like everything was fine, and Onyx wasn't going to die when I found her. I saw my crush, Brandon and walked over to him with a smile on my face. Me and him had Math next hour.

"Hey, Bianca!" Brandon said as I walked over and he flashed me a smile.

"Hey Brandon!" I smiled.

"Yo! Dude!" I heard Shane call and I glanced in his direction. Me and Brandon have been friends since last year, and me and Shane used to hangout when we were little kids. Brandon and Shane have known each other forever though.

"Wassup Shane?" Brandon replied and flashed Shane a smile.

"Dude! You're gonna hate math today! Pop quiz!" Shane told us, and I frowned. Math was NOT my strong subject.

"Ugh! I'm gonna fail math! AGAIN!" I said sadly. I was going to be grounded for the first month of summer, as usual.

"Don't worry, Bianca! I got all the answers right here! Snatched the answer key when Mr. Wallace wasn't looking. I had time to make a copy, so both of you can have one!" Shane smiled and handed me and Brandon each an answer key.

"Thank you Shane!" I smiled at him, and I think he blushed.

"Yeah. Thanks bro!" Brandon smiled, and glanced at me.

"No problem guys! Well, I've gotta run!" Shane smiled and jogged to his locker. I turned back to Brandon with a smile.

"Will you walk with me to math class?" I asked him sweetly and he nodded. We headed to our classroom. I was glad I could spend time with Brandon.

"Do you even like math?" Brandon asked me and I shook my head.

"No, do you?" I asked him.

"It's okay I guess. Not the best subject," He replied.

"Do you have a crush?" I asked him, blushing a bit.

"Yeah, do you?" He asked me and I shook my head.

"Doesn't everyone?" I giggled.

"Well, my theory would be that everyone does, whether they see them often or not," He replied.

"Well, who do you have a crush on?" I asked him kindly, and I was hoping it would be me.

"Well, you promise not to tell anyone?" He asked me in return and I nodded my head, a huge grin on my face.

"Well, I kinda have a crush on...Onyx...?" Brandon told me and my face fell.

"Oh," I said sadly.

"Well, who do you have a crush on?" He asked me and I didn't realize what I just said until the words were out of my mouth.

"I have a major crush on you!" I blurted out and I instantly blushed.

"Oh..well then...um," He started to say, but then the bell rang. "I gotta go."

"Okay, see you in math!" I called as he started walking towards class. I went to the bathroom. A few minutes later, I went into the classroom. I was 10 minutes late. The teacher looked at me, then pointed towards my seat. I took my seat and sat through another dreadful class...with no sign of Onyx. I was so embarrassed about what happened between me and Brandon, I didn't know how to apologize.
