Fallen

Chapter 2

When class had finished, I immediately tried to head towards the door. However, I was not so lucky.

"Excuse me. If I say so myself, you are quite the rude one. How dare you ignore me!" Oscar commented bitterly.

"Huh. I can't believe this. You think you can demand my attention, when you've-" I stopped myself. "I don't have to listen to you."

Luckily I saw Blake and Ethan walking towards us.

"What's going on here?" Ethan asked in confusion.

"Nothing. Your friend here was just confessing her love to me." Oscar snickered, as well as, Ethan and Blake.

I walked away from them in anger.

"Oh come on Connie. We didn't mean to laugh." Blake shouted, as he tried catching up to me. I turned around to face him.

"Do you even know who that was?" I asked.

"Obviously, that's Oscar Griffin. The teams quarterback." He stated as if it was obvious.

"Dummy. I know who he is! I used to have a crush on him in elementary but he never acknowledged me. He doesn't even remember I was in his school." I say exhausted.

Blake didn't have time to respond as Ethan joined us.

"Oh man. That guys a legend-" Blake had nudged him. "What?" Blake signalled towards me." Oh...I'm sorry."

"It's fine." I smiled at Ethan.

To be honest, I just want to go home. Ethan took my hand, whilst Blake put his long arms around my shoulders, as we walked out of school.

"Hey Fredster." I said. Fred immediately jumped.

"Again! What's up with you scaring the daylights out of me!" He exclaimed.

"I did no such thing!" I said innocently.

I went up to my room and bathed in mint shower gel. I cannot tell you how soothing the minty smell is, as it strips away the events that occurred today. Why did we have to be seated next to each other? It's hard enough that we're in the same class. Sitting next him just reminds me of elementary school, the way I was so dumb to 'fall in love' with him. But that's going to change. He has every girl crying out for him. Especially when in science, all the girls was just craving his attention. That's not me anymore. He still stayed with his girlfriend, because she turned out to be the captain of the cheerleading team. The thing is, everyone knows that they don't love each other, due to them sleeping with other people.

By now, I was done with my minty bath and had completed all my homework. So I decided to say goodnight to Freddy and went to bed.

Waking at 7 am is possibly the hardest thing you could do. I get ready for school and ate my breakfast Freddy had prepared for me. I hope today Oscar doesn't try to speak to me.

"Do you need a lift to school?" Fred had asked.

"Sure..." I replied in confusion. He never offers, I don't know what happened to him today.

As I walked into school, I saw Ethan and Blake by my locker, talking and laughing. What would I do without these guys?

"Hey Connie." Blake and Ethan said in unison.

"Hey guys. What are you talking about?" I asked, while collecting the books I need for today.

"We were just talking about, the upcoming party this weekend. If your free, you could come along?" Blake asked in hope. I never really liked parties, due to it being chaotic, sexual and drunk teenagers everywhere. I'd rather spend my time, reading my precious books.

"I don't know. You know parties aren't my thing." I stated flatly.

"But this party would be different. And we won't leave you alone." Ethan had interjected.

"I still-"

"Nope your coming even if I have to drag you there myself." Blake had threatened. I sighed in defeat.

The day went on like a blur till it reached science. I dreaded it. I didn't realise the bell had rang. Great, I'm late. I opened the door to the science room, only to have 30 pair of eyes on me. One of those eyes included Oscar's. The teacher had warned me not to be late and told me to take a seat.

As I sat down, I could tell Oscar was smirking.

"Babe, if you wanted my attention, you should of just asked." He whispered in my ear. I gasped.

"Excuse me. No one is trying to gain your attention. So if I was you I would stop filling up that ego of yours." I spit out.

"That was really mean ." He mocked.
