The Strength of His Love

Chapter 4

Steph's POV

After that scene earlier this morning me and Abby went to our classes. We have only three classes together, that are: English, Foods & Nutrients and Maths. The next four classes I have is separate from her, that is not the worst part of my class schedule. I share Biology, American History and French with the one and only, you guessed it Mr jerk Face, James Snow. Chemistry with Lacey and Chelsea.

My life is so messed up. Not really it could be worst but in terms of bullies. 'I am royally flushed.'

First thing I have in the morning is English, with Mrs. Lane . Yes one of my favorite class. Abby and I were late so we quickly went to our seat and wrote down the notes of the board.

Class went by quickly and we made our way to maths class. OK, to be completely honest Maths with Mr.Dower is not my favorite class ever, for some reason I just always seem to pass, even though his class always makes me want to sleep. For Abby it's the complete opposite, she always find it hard to solve the problem. So she ask me for help, which I am happy to help her with.

Very soon maths class ends and Abby is relieved. We head to our lockers," I swear I don't know how you like maths, because Mr. Dower knows to do is put people to sleep." I roll my eyes, playfully at her. " I know but once you put your head to it you will, trust me. Abby would I ever lie to you?" She gives that 'yes you would lie to me' look, when it involves my judgements of school.

We reach our lockers and pulled out our books for the next class."See you in foods my dear and tell me if those jerks put you through hell again. Muah, kisses later Steph." Then Abby was off, we had the last class together which F&N ( Foods &Nutrients). There goes the next class bell. Sigh, these classes are going to be the death of me.

As I walked into my French home room, I see there is a seating chart put up on the wall I look for where I was placed. The fourth row, sixth seat, I walked to my chair and sat down. Same time I saw someone sit right next to me, I looked over and the blood literally drained from my face.

Sitting right next to me was one of my biggest tormentors, James Snow. Ugh........ out of everyone to be seated next to, they had to put him right beside me. Yea, I knew he was in my class but I never expected him to be placed next to me. "I will not let him get to me. I will not let him get to me." I keep telling myself quietly, as I wait for Madame Russell to start class.

"Thought dogs sit on the grounds and not around the table. Well it's the first dog I know that can read and write, you must be one pretty smart dog?" James whispered in my ears. I could feel his minty,hot breath on me making the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up.

"Oh I forgot you don't speak human..... woof! woof! Better?" He smirks this time in my face.

Before he could make a next comment Madame Russell began the class, I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

The rest of the class went by with out anymore rude remarks from James. When class was over I dashed out the room without looking back. My next class is Chemistry, it is for two session which is right before lunch , that I am truly grateful for.

Miss. Gladmore was at the door greeting everyone, who came in and gave us our course outline for the class. In this class we are assigned lab partners, that we keep throughout the school year.

I was paired with Jack, this guy that I had a crush on since the fourth grade, but never had the courage to talk to. But now, here he is Jack Gavino. He has dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes and a chisel face, plump lips and rock hard body.

But it is not like I am checking him out or anything.

After Miss. Gladmore paired everyone up, class began." OK class, who can tell me what does Redox Reaction means?" No one wants to answer, so I raised my hand.

"Just like an obedient, know it all dog she is, always answering questions in class." Both Lacey and Chelsea snickers behind me. Coincidentally they are lab partners, I just rolled my eyes and waiting for Miss to pick on me.

"Ah....yes, Miss. White. Go ahead, because it seems that your the only one that actually reads your text book in the class."

"Redox Reaction is where both oxidation and reduction takes place in a reaction." Miss. Gladmore applaud me for being the only one able to answer the questions.

" Thank you Miss. White, you actually give my job a purpose. As for the rest of you turn to page 35." 55 minutes later class ended.

It was now time for lunch and I went into the cafeteria avoiding the popular clique at all chances, until I found Abby.

She waved me over, same time this guy came over to her. I stopped not wanting to intrude on their conversation. Soon enough he was gone, so I walked over to her. "Hey what was that about?" I asked her. "Oh nothing, he just wanted to know if I was going to James party next Friday."

I just nod. "Oh! Are you going?" I eyed her with suspicious look." Yes and I want you to come with me." I look at her like she had finally lost it and was about to say no, when she cut me off. "I know what your going to say but please think about it and don't forget that Jack Gavino will be there."

" No way Abby, you know that they don't like me and yet you think I would want to go." I got up and was about leave but she hold on to me." Please Steph, at least for and hour if you don't like it. Then we can leave, I promise you." She bats her eyes at me like a little girl.

I sighed in content, " Fine but you better make this up to me, because you owe me big time." She nods her ferociously. We continued with lunch and went our separate ways, when the bell rings.

My next classes: American History and Biology with James fly by quickly and he didn't notice me at all, because I was sitting in the front and he at the back. I was so happy when I got to F&N, because I get to spend it with my best friend, Abby.

Our first lesson was on 'How to make a meal for someone who is diabetic'. We only completed the meal plan, so Miss. Rose to us come tomorrow we will continue.

I got a ride in Abby's red land cruiser. I am so jealous her parents will allow her a car and mine won't allow me to have one. Its just life I guessed.

She dropped me at my house and I hugged her before I hopped out of her car. Then waved her good bye.
