December

(Monday/ History class)

Today our history teacher made us arrange and put in order some papers and documents on a few piles.

Mr.Jackson intentionally put me and Simon to arrange same paper works at the same spot.

"...I have to talk to you." Simon whispered to me randomly and it made me jump a bit. I shivered at the sound of his voice. We were still doing our job, pretending we're ignoring each other.

"Why? We already talked." I whispered still feeling those bitter-sweet vibes.

"Yeah, but that was when you wanted to talk, not me." he whispered looking down.

Seeing his cheekbone still bruised made me agree.

"Fine." I whispered after few moments of silence

"When?" I asked looking around.

"Tomorrow,during the school show. be in the hallway in front auditorium at exactly 7:30 p.m." He quickly said

"Can't believe I'm doing this." I mumble under my breath.

Somehow, he actually heard me. He just looked at me and ignored what I said.

I stared at for a few seconds just before the school bell rang.

(Next day)

So, just like in most schools, there are those cringe worthy performances that are put together for a show before Christmas holidays. Some students go with their parents, some just go there to laugh at others, and I...I never knew why I went on those. I guess it was amusing to me how some people were ready to embarrass themselves in front of the whole school, if they fuck up.

I was sitting close to Taylor and Maya, as I was watching the school show. It was going on for so long, I stared at my phone every few moments just to check the time.

Me and Simon are going to talk today. I'm still feeling bitter sweet vibes because of everything,and I don't know how to react to these things.

It was 7:28 p.m. and I went up and told Taylor I have to go to the restroom.

I walked outside the Auditorium and closed the door behind me.

I take a big sigh as I step away from the door.

I looked away and he was standing on the corner of the whole hallway.

He noticed me and looked down.

I walked over to him, as I heard sound of people clapping from the auditorium.

I stood in front of him, as I tried to make my face look emotionless and numb

"Umm,hey." He quietly said

"Just say what you wanted to say." I directly said, catching eye contact with him.

"So, a guy from my gr-" He tried to said it, but I cut him off.

"I know what happened." I said

"I just want your opinion on this." I said with a straight face, and somehow it pissed him off

"An opinion?" He said

"Tell me Annabelle, do you want an opinion about them, or my opinion about us?" He asked, still pissed.
