Josh hates it when i'm late to school. I hate it when i'm late to school.
For some reason, Josh decides to pick a fight with me just before classes start.
"I'm so fucking sick of you dressing like a whore and coming late to school Rip!" Josh shouted.
My jaw dropped at the word 'whore'. I was speechless. I wanted so badly to defend myself but no words came out of my mouth. I just stood there defenseless.
The bell rings and Josh hurries to class leaving me standing there like an idiot.
I can feel my eyes tearing up but i didn't want to cry in public, especially not in school.
But before i know it, I dissolve into a puddle of tears.
"Shit, shit, fuck, fuck!"
I look up and see Nick hurrying out of his car.
Before i could wipe away my tears, Nick spots me and frowns.
He hesitates before speaking,"Uh hey, are you alright?"
No words came out my mouth.
He pat my back and tried to calm me down.
We stayed like that for a while till i calmed down.
I quickly pulled myself together and shockingly, surprisingly thank Nick.
"You should get to class, you're already fifteen minutes late." I said.
"What's the point of going to chemistry class when you've already missed half of it anyway? I'll just get nagged by Mrs. Jensen."
I laugh but it comes out weird and awkward.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Nick asked.
I shook my head and grin. "Why are you being nice to me?"
"Because I'm a nice person?" he laughs.
"But i started a rumor about you. And I talked shit about you."
"I know, it doesn't really matter, does it? No one can hate me more than i hate myself." a frown on his face.
"You shouldn't you know,"
"Haha, yea okay.Thanks a bunch, i don't hate myself anymore" he said with a tinge of sarcasm in his voice.
"I'm sorry Ripley."
"I'm sorry too." I said.
