I Fell For A Bookworm

Chapter 2//Regrets and Effort

(Perrie Above: Remember they are freshman)

Andie

I opened the door and Perrie was wrapped around Chuck with wide eyes. "Babe it's not what it looks like!" She yells. She jumps off of him running to me, arms opened.

I pushed her away and glare. "It's not what it looks like? You want me to pretend that I didn't see or hear you with the captain of the basketball team?" I scream. I'm busy a day and she cheats on me. "He's a senior and we're freshman. What are you thinking?" Tears roll down her face and she wipes them away.

"I'm so sorry." She cries and falls to her knees. Many kids come out of class and look. Some record on their phones or take pictures.

"I love you. I just needed to be touched. Something you wouldn't do." She stood up, glaring. Why is she mad? She's not the one that just got cheated on.

"You can't turn this around on me. You simply cheated on me because you wouldn't accept the fact I have things to do. And one of them isn't you." I smiled and started walking away.

I'm not even old enough to have sex and I'm not ready and she knows that. Now watch when she catches something.

"Have fun being an STD magnet." I waved off. Everyone laughed and some shook their head in pity. If Perrie wants to go down that road I won't stop her. Four months for nothing.

When class is over, I quickly leave and prepare to go home. I place my books in my locker and close it. And when I do, Daniel is right there.

He had a scowl stuck to his face and arms glued to his hips. With Dani standing right behind him. Her eyes were puffy and cheeks were flushed while she picked at the bottom of her sweater.

"We are here for an apology." Daniel said tapping his foot. "I don't see why I have to apologize I mean I just spilled juice on a book. I can buy you another copy if you want." I negotiate. I'm not apologizing. It's just a book.

"There-" Daniel started, but got cut off by Dani. "There is no other copy. That wasn't even a published book. It was a," she paused shaking her head. "It wasn't a published book it was something personal and u ruined it. The grape juice messed up the ink that's why I didn't bring the book with me. And thanks to you I have nothing left of my father." She punched me in the jaw. Sending me to stumble back.

I rubbed it and looked at her. "I may have ruined your stupid book but that doesn't allow you to punch me." I yelled. "Hit me then. Or are you one of those boys that don't hit girls." She scowled. Crossing her arms.

I shouldn't hit her. I mean she's a girl. I'm not allowed to hit girls. But she did tell me to hit her so it wouldn't count. And she doesn't believe in sexism so she thinks I'm allowed to hit her.

"Is the widdle baby not gonna hit me? Is it cause I'm a girl?" She pushed it. I swung at her face but missed. Dani grabbed my hand and spun it behind my back, pushing into my shoulder blades. I screamed in agony and kicked her down. She fell with a thud, sprawled across the floor.

"You pushed me to do it." I sighed shaking my head in shame. She put her hands over her eyes and started crying. Great. Now I'm the bad guy.

"Listen, I'm sorry." As I reached forward to help her up I'm quickly on the floor. I look down at my feet to see that she used her legs to trap me and pin me down.
