The Story of Mark and Mina

Chapter 10

I stood in front of the dreaded class. I hadn't felt this nervous in a while, it was just calculus class. All I had to do is listen to my teacher and it would be fine.

Ha. What bullshit am I spouting?

"Move. You're blocking the way."

I turned to see Mark annoyed, I moved away. Mark entered the classroom, but turned around to look at me, "you aren't coming?"

I paused and it seems my silence made him have a realization, "oh right, he's in this class."

I proceeded to glare at him and he went to sit in his seat, completely disinterested in my distress.

Before I could decide on a game plan to save me from this...disaster, Ty showed up.

"Hey, Mina!" He said in a somewhat friendly tone...that sent shivers down my spines.

"Uhhh, hi." I managed to spit out, a little too overwhelmed.

Here's the guy I managed to sucker punch in the dick and he's acting like it never happened. He didn't even send me a death glare.

"Sorry about yesterday, Mina. I probably shocked you right? I won't do that again."

Somehow I wasn't relieved by that, he didn't feel trustworthy at all. Not to mention he felt sketchy. All I knew was that he was popular because he was good looking. I wasn't so sure about his personality though.

"It's okay...uh...I'm sorry about before." I subconsciously looked down at his man area and he quickly covered it with his binder.

This is pretty awkward.

"It's fine, Mina. I still stand about what I said before though, let's date."

My lips lined...not sure what to feel. A guy asked me out in math class... that was romantic. Lily and Anna would surely give this guy -50 points in asking a girl out, but then again asking anyone is pretty hard. The only difference between someone genuine and someone that didn't care was their attitude. Quite frankly, this guy didn't like me. I was pretty damn sure of it.

But then why would he ask me out? Seriously, I had done nothing to make him feel romantically attracted towards me ...Oh no, he doesn't think I'm those girls that are playing hard to get, does he? Oh shit oh shit, maybe I should inflate his ego to think that I like him when I actually don't so that he'll get bored of me?

As I fought with my internal thoughts, Ty coughed a bit to gain my attention, I looked up.

"Is that a yes or no...?"

I should definitely say no. He had some sort of motive, it was probably women's intuition on that part, but if I learned anything in movies, it's that your gut feeling was always right.

However high school is a different story, If I say no, rumours will go around saying I'm a conceited bitch that doesn't know luck when I see it or if I say yes he would be too good for me. Either way, nothing seemed pleasant. I would like to say I'm those girls that don't give a shit about what others think about me, but unfortunately I don't have that mentality. I really did wish that I was an unruly person, maybe then I wouldn't feel so suffocated.

My first thought was to lie. If I lie nobody gets hurt. Ty's ego would still be attached and I wouldn't have to deal with rumours. A little lie wouldn't hurt anybody...probably. "Sorry Ty, I have someone I like."

"Is it Mark?" He asked almost instantly.

Why does everyone assume that I have the hots for Mark? I laughed awkwardly not directly answering his question, "I'm going to go sit down now, class is starting."
