The Boys

flawless

It was raining the next day when Zack and I were walking to school. Not pissing it down raining but light rain that was still annoying as it came down pretty fast. Of course, I didn't have an umbrella and umbrellas are too feminine for boys so no one else had one. I tried to wrap myself up in my coat but it was thin and I was still too cold. Zack could see me struggling and handed me his hoodie which I put on under my coat but it still did not make much of a difference.

"I'll ask Helena to buy you a warmer coat. You're freezing." Zack said loudly over the rain.

"No, I'm fine. My body just takes time to adjust to the winter." I lied. I was shaking! It's October and it is stupidly cold. I have never been this cold in my entire life time. I'm normally okay when the weather gets cold but this is ridiculous.

"No, you need a coat. Your body doesn't have any fat on it to keep you warm so it's going to struggle to keep you warm. You need a warmer coat or else you are going to get really ill." He fought back with the truth. I knew this was going to happen. I need to gain a lot of weight like, right now. I want to be warm again.

"Sorry." I apologised.

"I don't want you getting ill simply because Helena will fuss dramatically over you and I know you don't like her doing that." He pokes his tongue out at me and walks a little faster. "I'm pretty cold too so come on, shorty." I felt bad for him so I walk as fast as possible.

In school, Zack said we had an assembly which sucked because the hall was freezing cold and I wasn't allowed to wear my coat or Zack's hoodie. Instead, I had to sit and freeze to death.

The assembly was about anti bulling which was kind of stupid to listen to seeming as a bunch of 15/16 year olds just don't bully much. It was obviously aimed at the younger years.
Zack said our first lesson was Physics which is the worst subject I could have on a Tuesday morning. The teacher, Mr Fann, looked like a complete lunatic. He looked worse than Mr Anderson. I was a little afraid to go and talk to him. So, Tom did instead. And Mr Fann sat me next to Tom and told me to catch up on work after slamming a textbook in front of my face.

"Ignore him, he's a stressed fucker with a low paying job and a wife who hates him." Tom comforted me. I just accept what Tom says. Mr Fann scares me a little but I will just have to get use to it.

I get the book and start reading through it although I already know mostly everything in it. They're learning about terminal velocity but I passed that in year 10.

For some reason, this room is the coldest I have been in and I'm shaking even more than I was in the hall.

"Are you okay?" Tom frowned at me and stopped his writing.

"I'm just cold." I say with my teeth chattering.

"Sir, can Eve wear her coat? She's really cold." Tom called out to Mr Fann and everyone looked at me.

"No? I'm pretty sure others are cold but they can't wear their coats." Mr Fann replies in disgust. I hate him already. What an asshole.

"Her lips are blue, Sir." Zack commented. Are they?

"Oh well, cry me a river." He rolls his eyes and gets back to writing on the board.

I keep my mouth closed. I don't want to get into trouble for fighting with the teacher on the second day of school. That would give me a bad reputation and I'm anything but someone with a bad reputation.
