Emily's Bun |Writer's Block|

CHAPTER 3

I ran to the bathroom in fast pace. I can't believe I almost did that. My breathing was heavy as I splashed my face with the cold water coming from the sink. I even missed a whole period of Math, my favorite period!

Oh, I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I slapped Seth in front of the whole damn school!

Okay, so, I'll give you all the details.

It happened just now.

I was walking to class but then, Stephanie and her lovely crew came up to me.

Stephanie, the ultimate devil in disguise.

"You! Who do you think you are?" She screeched at me.

I kept my head down. Nobody messes with her, everyone loves her. Why? Because she's rich and pretty, typical.

"She asked you a question! Listen!" One of her friends yelled at me.

"Listen up here b-" She started.

"Screaming doesn't make you seem stronger or better. Have an actual conversation with me or just leave me alone!" I accidentally spurt out. I quickly covered my big mouth. Way to go me.

"Excuse me?" She gritted her teeth.

She slowly walked up to me, her heels clicking on the hard floor so harshly, I thought the ground might fall off any second.

In a swift and sudden move, she slapped me so hard, that I fell sideways. Well, almost sideways. Someone luckily was able to catch me. I felt my bun loosening up. Oh no. I fixed my bun as I heard gasps erupt the hall.

"What the hell Stephanie." I heard a familiar voice say.

"Oh Seth! You don't know how much pain I am in! That, that girl slapped me right in the face!" She faked.

Sigh, hypocrites.

"So why do I see a hand mark in her face instead of yours?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I-uh-I" She stuttered. I was almost about to smile.

"You do know I don't tolerate liars right?" He told her, glaring.

"Yes, but I-" she started to say.

"Leave. Now." He commanded. I never knew he had such a voice.

She sent a dark glare at me before stomping away as her oh so lovely crew followed.

Everyone in the hallways sent me a glare. I have officially gotten attention to myself. Not positive attention, but attention that will ruin my next few years left of school.

I did the worst thing I can possibly imagine myself doing. I turned around and looked face to face with Seth as I bought my hand up and slapped him straight in the cheeks. Millions of gasps and shouting erupted around me. I didn't listen nor did I hear anything they were shouting at me. I stood there in silence.

Seth let out a soft laugh. He's laughing? After I had just slapped him? I was astonished.

"What is- Oh my- Seth!" Stephanie called out as she came running to him.

"Look what you did to him you brat!" She shouted at me. I put my head down not wanting to face this. I hate myself. Doing things without thinking? Did I say already that I hate myself?

I'm in deep trouble.

So, I dashed to the bathroom panting for breath. As I left, I heard Seth say:

"Wait! I'm sorry and you're welcome for saving your a-" He tried saying, but thankfully his voice faded away as soon as he started to say that.

So, that is exactly what happened. I was still washing my face with very, very, very cold water. I bet my face was as frozen as ice.

"Ow." I mumbled as I felt the sharp numbness of my face when I touched it.

"Do you think it's a good idea hurting yourself like that?" A voice said. There was someone inside! My eyes widened.

"Don't worry, I don't bite." The voice said again, reading my thoughts. I looked to my left to see a red haired girl sitting on the windowsill.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Hey, my name is Xena! You must be Emily" She grinned. She knew my name.

"Hi Xena, may I ask, how do you know my name?"

"A wild guess," she replied. She guessed my name in one try? I was extremely suspicious, but I let it slide.

I quickly opened the door and tried rushing out, because I skipped first period. My first time skipping class. I was becoming someone I hope I hadn't become. I said bye to Xena, but while going I crashed into the one and only Seth Waters.

He was glaring at something— specifically someone behind me. Perhaps Xena.

"Xena" Seth hissed out, showing pure dislike for her

"Seth! Nice to see you again big bro, its been a while hasn't it? Have you missed me?" She smirked. They know each other? Who is she anyways?

"What are you doing here?" Seth said in a cold voice. Woah, I've never seen him like this, he must really hate her.

"More importantly, how do you know Emily?" She grinned at my direction.

"That's not the concern right now. I met her and she met me, that's our problem. You need to stay away." Seth angrily stated. He was burning with rage.

I sighed and continued to watch them talk. I couldn't even escape since Seth had a tight grip on my wrist.

There goes my plan of staying away from this guy.
