The years from you to me

Rickity Rockity

2:30 in high school
[a week after New Years]

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick

I stare at the clock, following along with it " One..Two..Three..Four..Fi- " before I get startled to attention by my teacher who says, " Mr. Grayson! That diploma is the thing that's getting you out of this school! "

" Sorry, Mr. Lamber..just..I haven't had the best few weeks.. " I reply with a sigh

" Spacing off isn't going to make it better, resolve them by committing to them. " he says with a more gentle and lenient voice before I start hearing snickers from these bitc- I mean classmates, I just give them glares and grunts obviously signaling that I'll knock a few heads together if I have to. I'm part pacifist I'll tell you that, but some say I give out the " bad boy ", " rebellion ", or " violent " vibe which always makes me laugh.

" Nothing can get worse that this " I mutter to myself but just as I say that an airplane flies over my head toward the Mr. Lamber's direction, I try to warn Mr. Lamber by standing up and trying to grab it but it only looks like I threw it, hitting him in the face

"Goddamn it" I sigh and clench my jaw glaring at everyone in the room

" Mr. Grayson! What is the meaning of this?! " he obviously tries to keep calm but fails to do so

" It wasn't even me! " I grunt louder than expected, and then sighing and sitting down " never mind, I'm sorry.. "

" After-school. Detention. " he gives me a stern look before sitting back down and throwing the airplane in the trash

[Time skip]
~Transition from 5th to 6th period~

As I'm walking to my 6th period now, I see the " best of the best ", " the top dog " whatever they call the jock [and his cronies] purposely bumps into this shortish girl [well I'm taller than her by the looks of it by 5 inches or so {I'm 5'7 3/4}] , " average " size (as they call it, but size to me doesn't really matter to me) pale girl who seems to be lost and looking for a class

The jock is named Jackson and his two cronies, Taylor and James, they are all about the same height as me (just informing you because their egos are taller than what they normally are)

Jackson laughs and smirks saying " hah! Oh sorry! " he rudely walks away with his cronies like nothing ever happened, he really is just a big sack of!..I'm getting to over my head I soon realize and quickly rush over to her, helping her out when her books slipped out of her hand from the way Jackson "bumped" into her

" Hey..sorry about those guys..they just think they're the best and doesn't care about anyone except themselves and the cheerleaders.. " I say helping her out by picking up all her books as she picks up her papers that slipped out of them

" I figured..aren't there always a 'pack' of those guys in every school? " her voice comes out soothingly and calmly which I wasn't expecting; I was expecting her to be all worked up! "But thank you! I really appreciate you helping me..I'm new around here..would you mind helping me find room 62? " she adds quickly but delicately like if she planned what to say but the thing that surprises me is that she smiles (which most girls don't do these days, they either give me a glare or a death stare)

" Yeah yeah, " I smile softly, getting lost in her mesmerizing orangish brown eyes (that color may be because the son is hitting us from inside the building)

" So.. " she says, her brows arching clearly being anxious to get to her class since from it looks she doesn't want to be late to any classes

" Sorry..it's um..it's down the hall, the first door to your right should be it " I say with a smile appearing on my face

" Thanks..I uhh..didn't catch your name..? " she asks sweetly

" It's Damen " I smile and quickly add " what about you? "

" it's Rebecca..well I should be getting to class now.. It's nice meeting you " she checks the clock that's directly in front of us, as well as I do too

" Nice meeting you to! But I have to go! " I laugh, wave and then sprint off to my class which is basically across campus, thankfully it's not too far and I make it about 2 seconds before the bell rings..for the rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about her..I don't know why, I barely know the girl but I just can't shake her off..maybe I have a chance..who knows..?
