Hanging with the wrong crowd

Chapter 3

 "Aww.... he looks so cute!" Alison said while making weird faces at my phone. I had shown her the picture I took of Nick, when he was asleep.

   "Yeah whatever." I said trying not to sound interested in him. "Come on Zoe, you know he's hot." I knew he was deep down inside, but I couldn't tell her that.

"Yeah, if you say so." I said while trying to open my locker. Why are these things so hard to get into?

  "I bet he'll ask you to the dance next Friday." I had forgotten all about that. "No he won't." Then again maybe he will, he did kiss me.

 "Ugh.. why cant I get my stupid locker open?" I said pounding onto it with my fist, then the door to the locker bounced back and hit me in my forehead.  

  "Ow." Alison looked at me and shook her head. "What?" I said while rubbing my forehead. "Lets go were going to be late for class." She said walking off. I closed my locker and followed her to class.

  "Mrs. Mortez, would you like to solve the problem on the board?" No. "Yes sir."

I got up from my desk and walked to the board. No one was really paying attention to me, so If I got this problem wrong no one would notice.

Taking a huge gulp I picked up one of the dry erase markers and begin to solve the problem.  The problem was: 5x^-2y^10 over 2x^-1(-3x^-3y^-1)^-2. 

It took me a long time to get my answer but I came up with (45/2)x^-7 y^8 as my answer. I looked over at Mr. Lawson. He tilted his lins and nodded his head. "That's correct." Thank god! I smiled and walked back over to my seat.

  Alison was completely knocked out and Nick was layed back in his seat with his feet on the desk. I guess he noticed I was looking over at him, because he did that little creepy smirk again. I turned my head in the other direction and sighed. This is going to be a long day.

   "Do you want that?" Alison said and pointed to the carton of fries that were on my tray. "Eww..don't talk while your mouth is full and here."

I said while sliding the carton of fries across the table to her. "Zoe?" I heard a disembodied voice say my name. I turned around to find Nick standing above me. "What?" I was playing with the mash poetatoes that were on my tray. "We need to talk." 

When he said that Alison picked up her tray and left. Remind me later to punch her. "Go ahead talk."I said without looking up. "Not here." He put a piece of paper on the table and walked off. I quickly slid it into my pocket and walked to my next class.

  "Excuse I'm sorry." I had accidently bumped into this girl who was coming out of the janitors closet. She had mascara smeared all over her eyes.

"Watch were your going bitch." She said back.I was just trying to apologize to the stupid slut, but now I see how I get treated when I'm trying to be nice.

"I was just trying to apologize to you, you stupid...." I couldn't finish my sentence. There stood Nick in the door way of the closet zipping up his pants.

 I tried to hold back all my tears. I couldn't cry over him, I had no rights to. It wasn't like we were dating, but he kissed me. "Zoe....I can explain." I didn't notice he was standing right in front of me. I didn't listen to him. Instead I slapped him as hard as I could on his cheek, leaving a big red hand print on his jaw.

'I actually thought you liked me." I didn't give him time to talk, I just walked of leaving him standing there holding his cheek. 

  I knew it was to good to be true. Nick Holden could never change, he will forever remain a player. 

  When I got home I ran up stairs to my room and slammed the door. I tore every poster I had on my wall off. I didn't really understand why I was so angry, what if he didn't actually do what I think he did. I didn't give him a chance to explain, maybe there was a reasonable explanation. 

I decided to give him a call, so hec an explain everything to me.

"Nick?" I said trying to make sure it was him. It took him a while to reply but he finally said something. "Zoe?"

 Hearing him say my name, gave me goosebumps. "Nick I'm..." I started but he didn't let me finish. "Zoe I'm sorry, if I were you I would have done the same thing." 

"I actually like you and I would do anything, I mean anything for you, all I want is a second chance."

A smile appeared on my face. Then the worst thing that could possibly happen, happened. My phone died!
