Alone

Chapter 4: Principal

Chapter 4

When I walk into the classroom, everyone gets really quiet. I don't like that.

Everyone watches me as I walk to the back of the classroom and take my seat in the corner.

I hear everyone whisper things, and I know that they whisper about me. I'm not paranoid or something, or maybe, but not about this. Sometimes the turn their heads to look at me.

I sigh.

This is going to be a long day.

The teacher walks in and starts the lesson.

The lesson goes by way too slow. I'm just sitting and looking out the window, trying to dream myself away. But I just can't. The only thing that covers my mind is ... That night.

The bell rings and I collect my things.

"Lane, would you mind staying for a second?" My teacher Mrs. Lock asks me.

I don't say anything, I just stop in my moves and looks at her.

"Your brother called the principal and he told me to ask you to see him right after my lesson", Mrs. Lock says.

I sigh. Stupid Christian. Why'd he had to do that?

I growl.

"No it's a good thing, your brother only cares about you", Mrs. Lock says.

"No! If he cared about me, he would just leave me alone and stop doing what he's doing!" I shout. "I can take care of myself thank you very much!"

I storm out of the classroom.

I decide to go to the principal, otherwise he would just start nagging at me, and I don't feel like I want that, so I might as well get it over with.

I walk into the waiting room to Principal Andersen's office.

Principal Andersen's secretary is sitting at her desk right outside the principals office.

When she sees me she gets a pity face and I roll my eyes.

"Is he there then?" I ask.

She nods.

"Just walk right in, sweetie", she says and I roll my eyes again.

I walk up to the door and opens it.

"Oh Lane, hello", Principal Andersen says when he sees me.

"Hi", I say, closing the door and stand still.

"Please sit down", he says pointing on one of the two chairs in front of his desk.

"Is that really necessary?" I ask between closed teeth.

"Lane, I'm not your enemy here", he says.

"Wanna bet?" I snap and he frowns.

I sigh and walk up to the chair and sits down.

"I know that Christian called you, but I'm perfectly fine", I say.

"Principal Andersen?"

I jump sky high. The voice came from nowhere.

Was it just in my head?

I try to calm down while I feel my heart in my throat.

Principal Andersen frown while looking at me as he push a button on his desk.

"Not now, I'm with a student", he says.

Oh god. I just embarrassed myself in front of my principal.

"Lanie, you're not alone in this, okay, I'm here, your brother and your friends", he says. What friends? "But I agree with Chris, you do need to go to a psychologist".

"No!" I burst. "I'm not gonna do that!"

"Calm down, it can help, it does help to talk about traumatic accident", he says.

"It was no accident!" I shout.

"Lanie", he says.

"You know, just because you were my parents best friend, you can't just tell me what to do!" I shout. "Not even Christian has the right to tell me what to do, because he's not my parent and you're not my parent, my parents are dead! The only once I can stand to be in the same room as, are Blaine and Chrissy!"

And with that I jump out of the chair and run out of the office.

I hate everyone!

I run out in the corridor and bump into someone.

Oh great!

I stand down on my knees and starts to collect my books. But as I'm about to collect the last one, someone else's hand has it. A pair of big, rough hands.

I look up and is met by a pair of beautiful green eyes.

"Her you go", he says handing me the book.

I let out a faint, thank you and then stands up.

I start to walk away but he grabs my arm.

"Lane wait", he says.

"Let go Connor", I say and try to pull my arm out of his grip.

"Lane, can't you just... Talk to me?" Connor asks, almost begging.

Am I hearing right? Connor Hale is begging me to talk to him? The most popular and wanted guy in this entire school, wants to talk to me? Or correction, want me to talk to him?

No this can't be right. He must be feeling sorry for me or something, otherwise he wouldn't even bother to be here right now.

I'm just gonna help him to stop with what he's doing. It's not good for him to pretend or for me to pretend along with him. It's just not.

"No let me go", I say and pull out my arm from his grip and run away.
