I rolled my eyes and walked to first period, art. I loved art. I liked my teacher, I liked to draw and paint. Mrs. Elmer says I'm her favorite because I'm quiet and I actually do the work. The only thing is, Lucas is in that class with me.
I sit in the back in front of all the supplies so it's faster and easier for me to reach and get what I want. I was always the first one there and spoke to Mrs. Elmer before class started.
"Good morning Lexiana." She said with her face lighting up. She seemed happy to see me.
"Hi." I sighed in a stretch.
"Where have you been? You seemed to almost have disappeared."
"Yeah. I um" I crossed my arms and stared at the books she placed on the desk. "I- Can I see those?" I asked. I couldn't focus right. There's just something about books that attract my attention.
"Yes! Of course." We walked over to her desk and she handed me three of them one by one saying the titles. "Would you like to take them home and read them? I was going to donate them to the library but if you like them you can keep them."
"Yes please!" I said with no hesitation. People started coming in and the first few where mumbling about me under their breath.
"She talks? Who talks to the teacher though? She likes books? She's creepy."
I walked over to them and slammed the books on their table to get their attention. They jumped and looked at me with fear. "Got something to say?" I bent down and got into one of the guys face. He gulped and nodded his head no. "That's what I thought."
I turned around to sit at my table all alone but there was one problem. Lucas was sitting in the seat right next to mine. He happily waved to me and patted my seat. I rolled my eyes and growled. Quickly sitting in my seat I tried my best to ignore him buy opening one of the books to read. He passed me a note. He got me. He got the attention he wanted. I have a thing for notes too. Little ones like gum wrapping paper. I went to go flip a page and he slide the note. I stared at it for what felt like five minutes.
I grabbed it and actually read it. "Why do you hate me so much?" it said. I don't hate him. To hate someone is so tiring and I'm already tired as it is.
"You're annoying to me. You think you're all that. You sleep with every girl you see you might as well be called your own disease. Shall I continue?"
"Yes please your voice is soothing to me princess."
"Uggh! See that's what I hate too! You talk too much. You don't leave me alone. And I'm not your princess."
"So if I left you, alone, you wouldn't hate me?"
"Yes!"
He walked to the other table with his friends. "You're alone now! Now do you hate me?"
"Yes. I still hate you!"
Mrs. Elmer came up to me. "Hate is a strong word-"
"Just like the way I like my alcohol." I never really meant to say that. It just slipped out. I'm so used to saying rude things to people really quickly so they could shut up and leave me alone.
I gasped and snapped out of my anger mode. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mea- I don't actually dri-" I sighed. I gave up on trying to save my ass this time. She just folded her hands and stared at the books.
"Oh."
"I'm really sorry Mrs-"
"It's fine. Would you like to talk about it?" she offered.
"No actually I don't. That's pretty gross. I don't wanna open up about my personal life and my feelings to you or anybody. Ew. And I know that's exactly what you want from me."
She stayed shut and walked back to her desk. She had a nice figure in that outfit. "Ew. As if." I whispered. As if I would ever show people the real me. What the hell? Why? For what to be honest. The whole class was silent, just staring at me. "Boo! The hell you lookin at?!"
"Oh no baby girl. I'm lookin at somethin a lil hotter than hell." Lucas got up and put his hand under my chin.
I smacked his hand away and got right up. My first reaction was to punch him in the nose then kneed him in the crotch. He grabbed it with one hand and held his nose with the other. I started to pack my things to wait on the stairs for the next class.
"Ahhh," he hissed. "Sassy much? Damn!"
