My Love Nightmare

Chapter 1 : Gum + Cougars = My sad life

I wasn't ever supposed to be with him, he just was supposed to see me and be a bystandart. He never was supposed to be in my life, yet I was a better person inside and out. All because of him.

(flashback)

"I'll always be your baby"

"Miss Alexander, if you are going to sleep in my class and not focus, maybe you should be able to focus in detention, perhaps?" Mr. Rodgers creepy voice shakes me inside and I snap my head over to where his stupid little voice is coming from. There he is, a regular ugly, no good teacher who just wants his tiny paycheck. I smirk back and look at his disgusting face straight on.

"Mr. Rodgers, I was simply collecting my notes and thoughts on the next assignment. As you may know, I was concerned that I wouldn't fully comprehend the aspects of ancient literature it's a bit rusty." I widen my eyes for innocence and keep writing down what's on the board as he walks away and bugs another student. Just as I'm about to doze off again, I hear the bell ring for the next period. I jump slightly and grab my bag, walking out. Just another boring day in a boring school. Except for a few crazy people I call my friends. But just when I'm about to walk out, I sense someone's dangerously close to me. I whip my head around to see who it is, and I'm quite shocked honestly

"Hey Mariah" I try to remember his name.... Ah! Anthony Hernandez, not a close friend. Or even a friend. What the? As I'm collecting my thoughts I speak

"Oh Hey Anthony...... Do you need something?" I ask suspiciously

"We're friends right?" He asks suddenly and I get a confused look on my face.

"Uhm..No" I smirk. If you're my friend, we talk. At least once a week or day. He hasn't talked to me since September, when I swore out loud and he accused me of being a 'good girl'.

"Why not?"

"Because if you were my friend- which you aren't- then we would have regular conversations, and you know, since you haven't talked to me since 8th grade, how are you by the way?" I lightly sass back.

"We're friends though" He bumps my shoulder with his and I roll my eyes

"Like I said before: Nope"

He does it again and I do it back for a few minutes until the warning bell rings. I don't have to walk far- just a few feet- since the math class I'm in is next to my english.

"Don't you have another class to get to?" I smirk and he nods before heading off.

I put a question mark on my face as I get to math. As I sit down and get my stuff out, my friend Khloe is looking at me like I've eaten her dog.

"What the hell was that, Mimi?"She yells softly and I roll my eyes again

"Anthony apparently thinks we're friends. But whatever, he's kinda, I don't even know," I say a bit confuzzled.

"Well why would he talk to you? Isn't that a little... strange?" She says and thinks for a minute before speaking. Her face lights up in happiness before realizing what could be going on. She isn't known as the match-maker at school for nothing.

"Oh my god! He so likes you!" She squeals and I roll my eyes.

"TBS!" I whisper just before-

"Ladies, is there a problem?" Miss Anderson, our math teacher, asks calmly and embarrassingly weirdly.

"Oh, no Miss Anderson! I was explaining to Mariah that maybe next free period we could get some help on the homework" Khloe says smoothly and I nod, since I probably will. She walks away slowly, then goes and flirts with one of the jocks.
