Trouble (Miniminter FF/AU)

° Chapter 13 °

(Monday)

I was going downstairs to go to school.

Usually I hate Mondays, and school in general. But today it's different. After my and Simon's kiss and us being really attached...really attached lately I feel It will remain like that. Although I feel I shouldn't be happy when we talk, but I can't control my happiness. If it appears, it appears. Unfortunately, not all people realise that.

I hugged Maya when I came downstairs. Taylor tried to talk to me, but I ignored her,and left the house.

"Annabelle wait! There's something I need to tell you!" She yelled but I still ignored it.

I still can't forgive her, she was acting way too hypocritical.

Few minutes later I was in front of the school. Mike wasn't here, of course. I shook my head and talked to Emma whilst we were on our way to our English class. Simon is probably already there.

"Oh by the way, thank you for taking care of me the other night." She was thankful. She is still a bit depressed about the whole Mike situation. We sat down next to each other and I said:

"No problem." I looked around the classroom. Simon wasn't here.

The school bell rang and we were all getting ready for our lesson. He still isn't here. I'm that type of person that instantly starts panicking thinking about all the bad things that could've happen to the person. I care way too much about him...

The lesson seemed really long. I was starring at the clock, just waiting the seconds to pass by. It's so boring.

It finally ended and I quickly went to the history classroom. I truly hope he will be there.

I sat there for a few minutes until everyone appeared.

He was one of the last students to come in, but I'm glad he did came in.

I was relieved when I saw him...but there was something different...

He was walking towards my desk, but his face didn't show any emotion. It was completely emotionless,serious and expresionless.

He stared into my eyes for a few seonds, and I stopped smiling. I noticed he has a purple bruise on his cheekbone.

He didn't sat next to me. He sat in the desk in front of me, ignoring me like we're strangers.

Many thoughts rushed through my head.

Did someone beat him up?

Was it Mike?

Why is he angry at me?

Did he change his mind? Is our friendship done now after we finished this history project?

I managed to calmed myself down and Mr.Jackson started his lesson.

I stared at Simon the whole time, he barely moved and didn't turn his head around like he used to. I didn't think this would hurt me so much. There is so many things that I want to talk about with him, but I can't force myself to do it.

The class ended and he got up and left the classroom quicker than anyone could. I sighed and put my books in my backpack. I was the last student in the classroom. I put on my backpack.
I was ready to leave,but Mr.Jackson stopped me asking me a question.

"What is wrong with Simon?" He asked me worried and I stopped for a second

"Oh,I honestly don't know." I said looking down

"I thought your would know,since you two had friendly relationship lately." He noticed

"Yeah,and I'm scared that might be the problem." I said

"Regardless of that I just wanted to thank you for making him my partner for our history project." I added after a few seconds.

I hear the bell ring for another class

"You don't have to thank me. It was pure luck,remember? Now,go to your class. If you need anything you can always talk to me." he said looking at his papers

"Thanks Mr.Jackson" I said and left the classroom.

I decided to skip the class and I went outside feeling really nervous. Everyone was looking at me and I felt confused.

I went to the bench outside where Melanie, Emma and Lilly were sitting.

"Does anyone have a ciggarette?" I asked them. Lilly gave me a ciggarette and for a second looked at me weirdly,just like everyone else was. I tried my best to ignore it.

"You look nervous." Emma said . I lit up my ciggarette and inhale a smoke.

"I'm not." I frowned

I inhale a smoke after each and every one. I'm so nervous and confused.

I looked around. Almost every clique is outside right now. I even notice Simon and his clique as well. Almost everyone from his group was there.
He is there with them and as they're joking around he seems still a bit serious.

When I focused a bit of his sorroundings I notice that their cheerleaders are flerting, basically throwing themselves on them. There's a blonde girl next to him holding his hand. After he looked at me he waited a few seconds and...

And he kissed the girl next to him.

I instantly thought of our conversation in the biology class quite a while ago..

"..Whatever, people will forget you hang out with someone different as soon as you find a cheerleader to be your girlfriend, or something. And where will I go? I have nowhere to go if I get kicked out."

I felt hurt. I don't even know why I bothered. But it's fucked up he kissed me,and gave me hope with his smile.

I turn my head away and inhale one last smoke and stomp on my ciggarette.

"Fucking hell." I whisper under my breath

"Bye" I said to the girls before I left. My eyes were watering really bad.

I was walking fast to my house. I finally came home and went upstairs.

I actually started to cry.

At least I deserve some explanation.
