After Dropping Vic Off At His Next Class, I Decided To Chill In The Hallway And Write Some More. I'm A Library Aid This Period, And Nothing Really Needs To Be Done In There So I Don't Think They'll Miss Me. I'm In 10th Grade, So In Efforts To Avoid Being Caught Skipping By One Of My Teachers I Went To The Junior Hallway.

Obviously I Wasn't The Only One With That Idea Considering I Saw Cara From Afar. Now If I Haven't Already Introduced Her, Let Me Do That.

Cara Phernelia ( A/N Lol I Just Had To cx) Is That Chick Who Pushed Me Earlier Today. But Today Wasn't The 1st Time- This All Started In 8th Grade. I Was Always Different Compared To Everyone Else. When My Dad Was Around, He Raised Me On Good Music- Disturbed, System Of A Down, Pantera, Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Megadeth, Slayer, All Of Those Guys. So At A Young Age, That's What I Liked And I Expressed It With What I Wore. But No, That's Not Was Acceptable In Comparison To Cara's Girly-Girl Persona. So I Got Judged For It. Back Then She Found Out That I Self-Harmed So Now She Holds It Against Me. She Does So Much Shit To Me But I Can't Say A Damn Word Unless I Want The Whole School To Know About My Scars. So She Gets Away With It .__. I Have A Feeling She Has A Deeper Hatred For Me, But Oh Well. 

Oh Shit, She Saw Me. And Here She Comes .___. Fuck.

"Well Look Who It Is, How's Your Face Feeling? You Should Quit Being So Clumsy." Cara Snickered.

This Bitch Really Just Said That. I Just Sat There Dumbfounded.

"Cat Got Your Tongue? Wonder Why." Her Laugh Echoed The Walls, Screeching Pierces My Ears Like Nails On A Chalk Board.

"What The Hell Did I Ever Do To You Cara? I Never Spoke A Fucking Word To You And You Made Me A Target For No Motherfucking Reason!" I Was Pretty Heated, If It Wasn't Obvious From My Yelling And Cursing. By The Flash Of Anger In Her Eyes, She Was Pretty Angry As Well. We Stood In Silence For A Moment Until She Stepped Forward And Layed A Packed Punch Right To My Jaw- Coincidentally The Same One I Had Busted That Day. The Taste Of Blood Becoming Too Familiar. 

She Stalks Off Leaving Me There In A Mess Of My Own Tears And Blood. Usually I Could Run To Bathroom And Clean Myself Up. But Vic's Gonna Have To See Me This Way- Meaning I'll Have To Explain. Great.

I Dust Myself Off, Wipe My Jaw And Make My Way Back To The 10th Grade Hallway. My Mind Is Spinning Trying To Come Up With Some Sort Of Lie About My Jaw So I Could Avoid Telling Vic What Happened. Though It Feels Like My Brain Has Stopped, Frozen. 

I Get To His Classroom Just As The Bell Rings. He Walks Out And Sees Me, A Smile On His Face That Quickly Turns Into A Worried Frown. I'm Guessing He Saw My Jaw..

He Runs Up To Me, Speaking At A Mile A Minute Asking Me Happened And Things Like That."I Uhh.. Tripped Down The Stairs And Face Planted." I Mentally Applauded Myself For Thinking On The Spot. I'm Not Sure If Vic Was Entirely Convinced, But The Expression On His Face Looked Alittle More Relaxed Than It Did In The Previous Moments. "Do You Think You Should Go To The Nurse Or Something?" A Ting Of Worry In His Voice. "Nah, I'll Be Alright. Really." 

Vic Didn't Seem Totally Convinced, But I Think He Took A Hint That I Didn't Wanna Talk About It, So We Walked In SIlence, But It Was Comfortable.

3rd Period Would Be A Drag. Science. WHOOOOOOOO.

But I Perked Up When I Scanned Vic's Schedule And Saw That We Had A Lot Of The Same Classes. "Hmm Looky There- Math Sciene And English Together." I Couldn't Help But Smile. I Wanted To Get To Know Vic And This Was My Opportunity. He Seemed A Little Closed Off. Maybe He's Been Hurt In The Past, But I Can't Just Go And Ask Him. It Took Me Awhile To Realize I've Been Staring At Him For Atleast 3 Minutes ._. Awkward.

"Anyone Home?" Vic Waved His Hand In Front Of Me To Break The Trance I Was In. "Oh, S-Sorry About That. I Sorta Spaced Out." I Could Feel The Heat Rising In My Cheeks."I Guess We Should Head To Class Then Eh?" Vic Suggested. "Ugh, I Guess." We Strolled Into The Classroom Gaining Odd Looks In The Process. Jesus, Had These People Never Seen Two People Of Different Genders Walk In A Room Before?

As We Were Walking To Take Our Seats I Heared A Few Girls Making Comments About Vic. I Couldn't Help But Be A Little Protective Over Him. One Blonde Chick Whispered To Her Group Of Friends,"Who's The New Guy? He's Super Hot. But What's He Doing With Her?" Extra Disgust On The Word "Her". When Vic Passed By And Heard Her Remark He Gave A Scoff Of Disbelief And Grabbed A Hold Of My Hand. It Took Me By Surprise But Hey, I'm Not Complaining ;)

The Bell Finally Rings After A Brutal 60 Minutes-"THANK YOU JESUS GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE." The Whole Class Whipped There Head To Look At Me- Besides Vic. He Just Laughed And Grabbed My Hand To Drag Me Out Of There. "Do You Mind If I Stop By My Locker?"  I Wanted To Ditch My Books And Just Relax At My Usual Lunch Spot. The Garden On The Roof.

After Going To My Locker And Vic Mentioning He Wasn't Hunger, It Was The Perfect Time To Have Some Privacy. I Took His Hand And We Ran Down The Hallway."Where Are We Going?" Vic Asked Md-Sprint."Come On! I'm Gonna Show You Something Cool."

After Our Little Run We Finally Got To The Garden. It Was Gorgeous, I Always Wondered Why No One Else Came Up Here. It Was Full Of Roses Of Different Colors And The Smell Was Glorious. But I Like Having It All To Myself. I Didn't Mind Sharing With Vic Though."Wow It's Great Up Here!" Vic Said Mesmerized By His Surroundings. There Was An Auning Nearby With A Bench So We Decided To Sit There And Talk.

"Why Were You So Nice To Me Earlier?" I Said Breaking The Silence. He Gave Me A Disapppointed Look."What Do You Mean?" Nevermind We Don't Have To Talk About It." Maybe Bringing This Up Wasn't Such A Good Idea. He Rested His Hand On Top Of Mine And Looked At Me With A Little Hurt In His Eyes. "Cassandra, I Know We Just Met But I Want You To Know You Can Talk To Me. It May Not Be Now, But When You Feel Comfortable Just Let Me Know And I'll Be All Ears." He Gave My Hand A Reassuring Squeeze And Sad Smile. "Thanks For Understanding Vic." He Pulled Me Into A Warm Hug. He Smelled Like... Home. I Was Comfortable In Vic's Arms. When We Let Go We Turned To Watch Over The City. I Stayed In His Arms And He Kissed The Top Of My Head. It Was Getting Close To 4th Period So I Suggested We Go To Class. He Pulled Me Up And We Left Hand And Hand.

Him Touching Me Felt So Right. Hopfeully This Will Last.
