Bleeding Hearts

Chapter 11

*Ryan's Point of View*

We got to school just on time. I had a moment of panic when I woke up and she wasn't there. I was terrified that I had just dreamed it. The English went by fast, next we had science. We were doing little one day experiments in groups of two. Looking at onion cells through a microscope then looking at then dyed blue. When we were the 'groups of two' part, me and Ashley both looked at each other and grinned. "I will pull names out of a can." The teacher said, and the entire class groaned. Except for one kid in the back, who nobody really payed attention to. So you really just heard a bunch of groans and one little "Yay" from the back of the class. The teacher had us each write our name on a slip of paper and put it in a can he had on his desk. He pulled out a name and wrote it on the board. He pulled out another and wrote it underneath. He did the same with more names. You could hear little "Dang it."s and "Yes!"s when somebody's name was pulled. Then he pulled out another and wrote the name.

Ashley

We looked at each other hope fully. The teacher drew out another name.

Alex

it read. She looked at Alex who was sitting across the room, and he winked at her. I just killed him in my mind again. Then, my name was pulled.

Ryan

Jessica

I heard someone gasp near me, and I turned my head to see who my partner was. Oh no. It was the cheerleader who spoke second when they insulted Ashley, the one I threw the can at. This was not going to end well, at least for her. "Alright, find your partners and find a microscope and get working." The teacher said. I stayed in my seat watching Alex as he meandered over to Ashley. "Hey, come on. Let's get this over with." Jessica snapped. We walked over to a microscope. I told her to look first. I watched Ashley and Alex. She leaned down, and right before she looked I saw Alex flip the light off. She began to look confused and said something. He laughed, stepped behind her, took her hands in his and made them turn on the light. That devil turned the light off purposely just so he could do that. As she looked into the microscope I noticed that he stayed very close to her and had his arm around her. I also noticed that he was touching her chest. I was so angry I almost stormed over there and punched him. Lucky for him, Jessica told me it was my turn at the microscope so I had to do that. I didn't really pay much attention to hat I was seeing though, I was far too mad at Alex, and was busy thinking of good ways to kill him without getting caught. Soon class ended, and the lunch bell rang soon after those, so me and Ashley headed to the lunch room.
