"Beep beep beep beep!" My worst enemy has awaken me . Monday , everyone hates mondays, ugh .
I get out of my bed . I go my closet and choose a white tank top and a black hoodie over it , and dark jeans and nothing else than white converse. I put my brown wavy hair into a messy bun .
I grab my backpack and head down stairs. My aunt goes to work really early and comes out really late. I don't see her much and shes almost never home so its just me. I work everyday of the week except weekends and Fridays. From 5 pm to 9 pm .
I head outside into my car and drive to school. On my drive there I see all these little kids walking to school. They're so cuteeeee !
I only have one friend , one ! You see I am a loner , so sad but what ever , shes my best friend and I don't need anymore friends.
"HARPER ! " I hear my best friend scream .
"JULIA" I scream back. I run to her and hug her . She just got home from Canada a few days ago . On our way to our lockers we catch up on what we've missed.
Im getting my books when i hear a deep voice, Brandon. "hey apple sauce ."
"apple sauce ? Thats my nick name now ? " I say , raising one eyebrow .
"yeah why not . Its so much like you." He smirks .
" Brandon I - " I get cut off .
"Its so sour ." I slap him right in the face .
"You're a jerk ! " I yell catching attention which I didn't mean to . " mind your own damn business !" I yell to those staring .We start walking towards our first period class .
His desk is right behind mine. Great.
Our teacher enters the class room .
"Today you will start working on a project you will work on it in class today and take it home to work on it. I will let you choose partners." The teacher sits on his untouchable chair.
Im looking down at my desk when I see a shadow. I look up to see Brandon.
"Hello partner ." What ? no.no.no.no. Partner ? I cant work with him is he crazy ?Why is he doing this ?
"Go away brandon ." I look up at him and catch him biting his lips . " ugh fine fine . " then a smile pops up on his face. What am I supposed to do ? Tell me.
"Okay so you, me after school at Laurie's dinner to work on our project . " he sits down on the desk next to mine . Wait what ?
"I work ." I lied , I took a day off today since its been a year with out my mom today . Now, brandon doesn't know that .
"Ohh then we'll work on it tomorrow ." He smirks . He is the most annoying person . I just met him 2 days ago and he is annoying me already ?
"Tomorrow's fine ," tomorrow is Friday so I don't work. "For now lets work on it right now , please ? Im not like some people , I actually care about my grades ."
He squinted his eyes at me , for some reason I smiled .
" You look like partick star smiling like that you know?" he did not just say that .
" and you look like squidward ." I hit him back with revenge . I can tell by his face that my payback back got him .
His insult didn't hurt. Ive been called worse . Like shit face . Worthless . Waste of space . Things like that ya know ?
"Stop insulting me and lets work on the project ." He look back at his paper .
"Hey you started it . " I smirk. Why am I smirking ? Oh no this is bad .
"Hmm like what you see ? " he smirks back .
"You mean if I think you're attractive ? Oh no , " I burst out laughing. I mean he's attractive but his attitude doesn't suit him. " I think a slug is more attractive than you are ." I wink at him .
" ouch. " he turns to see my reaction then looks back at his paper.
I let out a "whoops." and he turns around .
"You fell for it . " he starts laughing . " I could care less what you think." I should really stop before I become closer to him , I don't want to be stabbed in the back one more . I push people away , its a thing I do .
The bell rings. I grab my stuff and put it in my back pack .
"You're feisty , rawr. " he winks .
"Shut up and leave me alone ! " I walk away close enough out of the classroom when he grabs my shoulder and pulls me back . I stare , he stares back and he lets go of my shoulder.
"No can do apple sauce .My mission is to make your life miserable . " he winks again !
" why do you keep doing that ? " I ask . He confuses me so much ! I walk away from him until we get to the lockers.
"Keep doing what ? " he winks again ! he is going to drive me crazy !
" That ! " I roll my eyes. "You say all these mean things and acting like nothing happened the next minute , and you wink or smirk at everything ! " he smirks . "Why are you doing that ! It drives me mad ! Stop it ! Stop making it seem like were friends . We will never be friends. You're popular I'm not . Were not meant to be friends ! " What did I just do. I do that to much . I push people away ! I start deep breathing . As it starts to get hard to breathe he speaks .
"I drive you mad ? " he stares at my eyes . "Good . Thats the point . To drive you mad ." He starts to walk away.
He then turns around and slams me in the lockers . Our faces are inches away from each other. " you know apple sauce ? you are selfish . you don't care about anyone but your self , and no , we will never be friends . That is why you are so lonely . " Ive been going to a therapy group because supposedly I am lonely . The whole school knows that. I know I hurt him with the not being friends thing but this , this burned . "no more words apple sauce ? "he smiles . Not a good smile a evil look smile .
"Jerk." Suddenly an urge comes back . An urge I haven't felt in 6 months .
