MLK Day!
---------------------------

Of course it was Cindy... What did I expect? She's the only person that could hate me so much to try to hurt me.

I pulled my wet brown hair back from my face and stared at Cindy with a straight face. Making her remember this moment forever,"You done? Okay." I told her and walked out of the bathroom but everything on me was still wet from the water.

I walked to the fourth period where the whole class was there but me. Everyone stared at me when I walked in late for fourth period. "Miss Alex William, do you have a slip of why you were late for class?" The teacher snapped at me as I shock my head left to right.

"Since this is just your first week I'll let this go Miss. Williams, but no more after this." I nodded to her as I went to my seat next to Annalise.

"Are you okay, what happened?" She asked worried about me. "Nothing." I replied as Annalise took out her hoodie and gave it for me to keep warmth in my wet clothes.

"Thanks." I told her before the teacher could notice us talking and yell at us.

After class Annalise came up it me,"About the tea that you wanted me to drink, how about I go try it on this weekend?"

"Sure, 12:12 Saturday at La Tea." I said as she gave me a thumbs up and agreed. Jake went up to us and interlocked hands with Annalise and we parted our ways.

Wait didn't I have something to do this Saturday? Oh I forgot I had to babysit Ben! I guess I have to bring him along.

"Wow you okay Al?" Max asked from the corner as he sees me with my wet clothes. "I'm fine don't worry." I tell him but he knows that something happened.

"What happened?" He started to ask me questions but I didn't answer. He stopped asking me and just let it go.

"It was Cindy." He knew from the start my eyes stared at his chocolate eyes, he's too smart for me to hide from.

"You already knew then why would you ask me?" I asked him as he stared back at me,"I wanted to see if you trust me, we should work on your trust for me."

"Sorry." I told him as he puts his arm around my shoulder,"We can work on it slowly."

He runs his hand through my hair as he smiles at me and I smile back. For a second I felt that we had a moment.

~•**•~•**•~•**•~

Unlike yesterday I decided to go to fourth period, the class was long when the teacher decided that we'll just learn through the textbook. That's totally fun ... Not.

Every time I sit down a chair it becomes cold and since I left the bathroom after lunch it's been even colder. Annalise's jacket help a little but it was still cold.

If I had Physical Education then I could change my clothes, but I don't so I just have to deal with it. I've been shivering like a lot.

"Can I go to the nurse?" I raise my hand as the teacher nodded. I raced to the nurse's office while leaving a trail of water droplets behind.

"Second time in a row?" The nurse said giving me a 'really?' look. "Yeah sorry about that." I told her as she nods.

"Mind telling me why your clothes is dripping with water?" She gave me a question look.
