Why We Fell in Love

Chapter Two

"It's been one week guys, one week and none of you bothered to do your homework," Mr Drew shouts. I roll my eyes at how boring this lecture is. We're seniors, does he not expect this?

He also gave us assigned seats so I'm separated from Lily but I do sit next to Noah who's never here. I think he was only here once because he was caught skipping class and a security guard had to stay in the room the whole time.

"Why should we do homework when we're just gonna talk about it the next day?" Noah says. He was laid back in his seat and he had nothing on his desk but a bottle of water... But it could be something else that we don't know of.

"Gonna is not a real word Evans, and homework is to help you learn more," Jack explains as people groan. God I hate English so much.

"I know everything I need to know for this class. I have a solid 'A'" Noah says. No he does not. He's been out for the longest time and he thinks he has an A?

Jack rolls his eyes" tell me then Mr Evans, summarize the book we just read."

"The Catcher of the Rye," Noah says.

"In the Rye," Jack corrects.

Noah rolls his eyes," same thing. This kid gets expelled, runs away to New York, shit happens, find his sister, go to a merry-go-round, the end."

"Mr Evans, I suggest you start participating in my class."

"Or what?" Noah challenges.

"You will be expelled yourself."

"I can't believe that party last night," Meghan says, sounding tired as heck. We were at our lockers talking about Lily's boyfriend's party last night. Meg and I got pretty drunk, not gonna lie.

"I'm glad we're sober though," I laugh.

"Barely!" she says in a high voice. Im glad Im sober. Noah rudely interrupts our conversation by slamming into his locker. Brooke was on top of him and they are making out like crazy. This was going on last night at the party as well.

"I'll call you later babe," he says, pulling away and smacking her butt. I roll my eyes, putting books away into my locker. "You looked cute at the party yesterday."

I look at him," are you talking to me?"

"Well I'm not talking to the wall now am I," he says with his arms crossed and facing me.

"Why are you even into Brooke? She's two years younger than you," I say. He's eighteen and she's sixteen. The thought of it makes me shiver.

"Jealous much?"

"Disgusting much?"

We're having yet another stare down that again, Meghan had to break up. She grabs my tennis bag and shoves it towards me," cut it out you two. We're gonna be late to the match"

"Have fun hitting some balls," Noah says, opening his locker.

"I'd like to hit someones balls-"

"OKAYYY," Meghan says, dragging me away from him. God he makes me want to pull my hair out. "What is up with you two? You guys haven't had one decent conversation since the first day of school."

"There's something about him that I have to figure out," I explain. "He's a dick and I hate him for doing drugs and all but I want to know why he's a dick and why he's doing drugs."

"Maybe because he wants to," Meghan says as I roll my eyes. "Abs, why can't you just let it go?"

"I just can't, okay? Trust me on this one," I say as we walk into the locker rooms to get changed.
