I Tried So Hard- Chapter 9

                It’s been about a week since Jack told me that he use to date Vic. I’ve been trying to avoid Vic every way that I can. I just can’t get myself to hang out with him without thinking about him lying to me and getting mad at him for lying. So I’ve been telling him that I’ve been really busy this week and he’s been trying to hang out with me any way he can but I just keep turning him down. He’s even invited me to a couple parties but I’ve just told him down with the same excuse. I can tell he’s getting annoyed with me blowing him off but I just need time to deal with what Jack told me without actually causing a huge problem. We have Trigonometry class this morning so that means I have to hang out with Vic for a whole class period but luckily we have that test today that I’ve been studying for, so we won’t be allowed to talk much.

“Hey you ready to go?” Matty said pulling me out of my thoughts as I sat on the side of my bed waiting to head to class.

“uh.. yeah let’s go..” I said getting off my bed and grabbing my backpack, heading to the door. We walked out the door heading downstairs. We stayed quiet the whole walk to class, I was just trying to prepare myself to act normal around Vic. When we got to the classroom there was no one in there besides Mr. Cunningham. Matty started walking to the back of the room and I followed. We took a couple seats in the back and waited for the rest of the students to get there. Matty took out his journal and got one last quick study session in and I just put my head down on the desk. A minute or two later I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder. When I lifted my head off the desk I saw it was Vic.

“Hey.” The Mexican boy said running his hand down my back then pulling out the chair next to me. I turned my head to Matty to see if he saw what Vic did and thankfully he still had his head buried in his notebook. I gave him a wave then put my head back down. “Tired?” he asked and I nodded my head in response. I didn’t even have to make an excuse he made one for me so I kept my head down until the rest of the students arrived.

“Alright put your bags under your desk we’re about to begin the test.” Mr. Cunningham said walking around the classroom passing out the test booklets. “You will have the whole class period to finish this test. There will be no talking and no using notes.” He walked back to the front of the class and scanned over the room making sure everyone had their desk clear and were ready to start. “You may begin.” Everyone flipped open the booklets and started working. I looked to my sides and saw Matty already starting his test and I looked to my other side and saw Vic look at me the exact same time give me a little smile I gave him a smile back and began my test. I was halfway through my test when I saw out the corner of my eye Vic closing his book and put his pencil down. He saw me glancing at him and he gave me this smirk, I put my eyes back on my test trying to finish because I knew that the class was almost over. But then, just like usual, Vic’s hand went wandering up my thigh. I didn’t try to make a big deal about it because the whole class was dead silent and I didn’t want to draw attention so I just shook my leg trying to remove his hand but he just squeezed my thigh. I glared over at him trying to get him stop but he just wouldn’t, he kept trailing his hand closer and closer to my zipper.

“Stop.” I said with a little frustration in my voice. He looked at me confused not in the sense of he didn’t know why I was saying stop but in the since that he didn’t understand why I was upset. I turned my head to see Matty also looking confused. He gave me this look of ‘what’s wrong?’ I just shook my head and went back to finishing my test. For the rest of the class Vic didn’t try to touch me or anything he just sat there. I finished the test with 2 minutes left before it was time to go and as soon as Mr. Cunningham said class was over I got right up out my seat and headed for the door with Matty following suit.

“Wait up!” I heard Vic say. Matty and I both turned around. “Hey, you want to go hang out for a little?” he asked me.

“I can’t, maybe later today.” I said.
