If only I was there

Chapter 8

It was finally my favourite part of school. Lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and Scarlett spotted me from afar. I walked to her table of friends and sat next to her.

"Guys, this is Megan and she's my new locker mate."

"Yeah, we met." Chloe said as she stuffed her mouth with spaghetti.

"She's my lab partner. Lol." Judy said as she chuckled.

Scarlett rolled her eyes and introduced me to a girl who's sitting in front of us. She had black hair with turqoise highlights.Her blue green eyes made contact with my brown ones.

"Oh sorry. I'm Aishah."

"I see you're busy texting somebody" I said pointing at her hands which was typing as fast as lightning.

"It's my boyfriend, Calum. He's the most protective yet cutest boyfriend ever. One time..." She ranted about Calum while I chuckled slightly. Seeing people in love makes me feel fuzzy and warm inside.

Lunch was filled with Aishah ranting about Calum and Scarlett asking her to shut up. When I was walking to my next class which was english, I saw Stella and Dane arguing. I minded my own business and walked away. Suddenly, out of the blue a girl fell onto me. I stood up and saw the girl who was still laying on the floor with her stomach. I squatted down and poked cheek. She had red and curly hair just like Eleanor from the novel "eleanor and park". She revealed her gorgeous hazel eyes and immediately stood up.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I was running because I was late and I guessed I slipped. I'm so so sorry..."

"Hey, it's fine. I guess both of us are late now. By the way, my name is Megan."

"I'm Syaz. I hope you have English right now. Please please please" she pleaded.

"I do have English right now" with that she linked her arm with mine and pulled me to English class. When we walked in to class, everyone was looking at us.

"We're sorry we're late, Mrs Collins. The new kid got lost so I helped her." Syaz said and the teacher just rolled her eyes and told us to take our places. I searched for an empty sear but the only one was beside Dane. I sighed and sat down beside him. The teacher went out because she had to do something at the office. She left the class and all of the students started talking and gossiping. Dane turned to face me.

"Megan, I'm so sorry about what I did to you 3 years ago." I glared at him and he continued. "Stella kept asking about why you hate me so I told her, everything. She broke up with me."

"So? Why are you telling me this useless informations?"

"Stella told me to apologize to you. I mean I was afraid to talk to you because I knew you wouldn't forgive me. But I made a promise and..."

"You won't break your promises. I get it. You used to tell me that."

"Well, do you forgive me?"

"I do. But that doesn't mean we're friends. I still don't trust you."

"I understand. But thanks for forgiving me." But the truth was I didn't forgive him. I told him that because I wanted him to stop talking to me. I hated him.

English class was spend by Dane trying to be friends with me by asking me my favourite bands, my hobbies and why I moved to New York. I answered most of his questions with "you'll know if you remembered" or "none of your business". Syaz, who was sitting in front of us kept telling Dane to stop bothering me. He told her that we were old friends. I rolled my eyes and stared at the clock until English class was over.
