Selfish :: Raegan Beast

t h r e e

I stood up and walked over to where Raegan's seat was. The person who usually sits next to him had already moved his seat, so I sat down in his chair. 

-

"Uh, hey Camille. Look, I'm sorry if I offended you or something this morning. It was an accident, I swear; I just wasn't looking where I was going."

-

"That was my fault. I was just kinda pissed because people around here treat you like a king; they treat me like a piece of garbage. I didn't mean to go off on you, I'm sorry," I said.

-

He smiled.

-

"But that doesn't mean that I like you....and I'm definitely not one of your 'supporters,' so don't treat me like one. Got it?"

-

"Got it. Now, what should we research?"

-

"I was thinking something to do with music? Like what kind of music they listened to here in like the early 1900s or something. I can play the guitar, so maybe we could find a piece of music from then and learn how to play it?"

-

"I'm down. I can play the guitar too, so we can both learn it and maybe we can do that for our presentation instead of a boring old powerpoint like the rest of the class," he suggested.

-

"Yeah, okay," the bell rang. "I gotta get to chemistry, bye," I said as I stood up to leave the classroom.

-

"Camille, wait!" I turned around. "We should work on this tonight, at my house if you'd like?"

-

"Um yeah sure, I guess I can stop by for a few hours," I said, in a hurry to get to my next class and, ironically, away from him.

-

He handed me a folded up piece of paper, "Here's my number, I'll text you my address. Come by around 4:00?"

-

"Um yeah, I'll be there," I said as I quickly shoved the piece of paper into my back pocket and walked out of the classroom.

-

I found Rylee waiting for me in the hallway.

-

"So, how's it like working with Raegan Beast?"

-

"I mean it's not terrible," she smiled at me. "I still don't like him though," I said.

-

I took a piece of paper out of my folder and said, "Here's the math homework. I'll see you in History later, bye." 

-

I ran down the hallway and up the stairs to the Chemistry Lab, eager to get as far away from everybody as fast as possible. Chemistry is my favorite class, I like being in control of what I'm doing, unlike all of my other classes. As of right now, English and History are the classes I dread going to.
