The Hidden Truth

The Apology

I waited for Cylus to leave so I could head to school. I didn't want to see or speak to him. I know I did wrong by not telling him but how could I tell him? We didn't even speak before this. When I arrived to second period Mr. Erwin collected our first poet biography report. I sat in the back and had the perfect view of Cylus and his stupid girlfriend. Mr. Erwin kept droning on about the upcoming project and homework. As the class ended I put all my books as fast as I could in my backpack and headed to the library. I couldn't bother to look behind me, it was break so I had twenty minutes before calculus started.

When I arrived in the library I could see Matt getting in a small argument with his friend Derek. They were in disagreement about a math problem from yesterday's math homework. Matt and Derek were in the football team with Cylus. Matt was actually Cylus best friend, if you put them next to each other they looked like two calvin klein models. Heck even Derek was gorgeous, they were both over 6 feet muscular and light brown hair. Well Matt had more of dark brown hair with light brown highlights. He was a handsome a womanizer that I constantly stare at during class as well. "Nothing wrong with checking out eye candy, right?" as I walked by them to go to the second floor, I hear Matt call my name.

My body instantly tensed up "Hey Violet, can you help us out please?" I slowly turned and looked up and nodded my head slightly. I walked slowly next to Matt and told him "what..uhm do you need help with?" He smelled amazing like the inside of an Abercrombie and Fitch store. "We're having trouble figuring out the last part of the problem, can you help us please." He pulled out the seat for me and I sat down. " Yo, Matt I'll be right back gotta go for some food. Explain it to me once shes done" He left and I was alone with Matt.

I like Matt he's nice but really friendly to females if you know what I mean. I started writing down the final steps and explaining the last parts of the Problems. "Show that limx→−3 (x 4 + 7x − 17) = 43 using the formal definition of the limit" I looked up at him and he was scratching his head with a confused look at him. "The Limit formula..when did we learn this?" he had such a confused look I couldn't help but chuckle a little. "You have a cute smile." I blushed furiously and looked straight down to the paper. I could see from my peripheral vision he smirked. "Uhm.. so..uhm, for any given ε > 0 we have to nd a δ > 0 so that for all x we have 0 < ∣x − (−3)∣ < δ Ô⇒ ∣x 4 + 7x − 17 − 43∣ < ε ." right as I finished writing that, Cylus walked in and patted Matt in his back "what's up man, you getting some help?" I glanced up I was completely tensed right now, I probably look like a statue. He was looking straight at me when I looked up to meet his eyes, I felt like my whole body melted. I quickly looked down. "Yea violet was helping me out on a problem" He looked back down at me. " I gotta go..hope that..helped". I darted as fast out the door as I could. I could hear from behind me Matt saying thank you.

My heart was racing and as I was reaching my calculus class the bell rang. Class went by growlingly slow and I was ready to kill myself. As the last class ended I had successfully tried to avoid Cylus, I even made sure I left our last class before him. I ended up hiding inside the library for ten minutes, until I knew he had left.

When I finally stepped outside, I rushed straight to work. I was feeling relieved for the first time in this whole day. When I finally got to work, I couldn't help but skip several heartbeats . My breath was short and rapid, I felt like he sucked the air out of me. He was talking to Margie, he was leaning on the counter chuckling at something that Margie said. "Vi, you're here!! Look who came to visit" I looked at him and slowly walked behind the counter laying down my backpack behind the counter. As I walked he wouldn't stare away" I'll just leave you two for a couple minutes, I have to fix some boxes in the back" Margie when are those boxes going to get fixed??!! I exhaled and looked at him " why are you here?" truthfully I thought he was going to apologize for what he did yesterday but this dick head son of a gun said " I can't meet until friday because I have football practice but we can meet friday night". I tried to hide my shocked face, I forced the most poker face I could muster and said "fine, see you on Friday" . Honestly my voice was oozing out venom and I knew he could tell. "See you Friday at my house" he said goodbye to Margie and left in his car. I officially wanted to stab that beautiful son of a bitch.
