Just That Kind Of World

Chapter 11 (Official)

"Hey Assface, who's the boyfriend?" Jason shoves me with his shoulder as he walks past me and stops infront of me with a smug face. Fuck, I groan.

"He's not my boyfriend and it's none of your concern," I glare at him. "Can you move"

Continuing to block my way, he heinously grins. "You think you're tough now, huh. You think since someone's defending you, you'll be safe now."

"No," I rebel.

Still grinning, he drills his finger onto my forehead. "You're nothing. It's just a matter of time til he realizes it too."

I know that already. I stood there in silence as he chuckles. With no warning, he slams my head onto the locker standing right besides us. Losing my balance, an overwhelming pain shoots throughout my head as dizziness and nausea hits me like a swing of a bat. I screech in agony, as he makes his exit out of the scene. I rub my head with the intention of soothing out the pain.

I resume walking towards my class and take my seat just like everyone else. I continue to space out until the end of class and make my way to my second period class, encountering Adrianna and Carla talking besides the doorway. As I enter the class, Adrianna sticks her foot out and trips me over. They cackle as I fall down. Shaking my head in disapproval, I stand up and head over to my desk with another notes written on it "Die, cunt"

Ignoring it, I take my seat. They snicker once again as they also take their seats. They whisper to each other insults meant for me. I sigh. 

As the class ends once again, I stand up and head to my still dirty locker. Oh shit, I forgot to clean this up. I proceed to clean it up to the best of my abilities before Adrianna shoves me into it. I turn around to see her with Carla and Amber besides her giggling. "How's it going?" she mocks me.

"Amazing," I sarcastically respond.

"So where's my money?" she devilishly smirks.

I sigh out once again before whipping out the $10 from yesterday and the $15 from this morning. "This is all I have, here," I extend the money on my hand towards her.

She scoffs in response, "What is this? Just so you know, it was $75, not $25"

"This is all I have. Just take it."

She proceeds to snatching it off my hand. "Don't think this is enough. I'll be back for the rest of it," she scorns as she walks away with her girls.

I turn back towards my locker and return to my cleaning.

"Yo, need some help?" 

I turn to my left and see Ethan standing there looking at my somewhat messy locker. With no delay, I slam it shut. "No, it's fine." I blurt out.

"You sure?" he asks.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. Heading to class?" I quickly change the topic.

"Yeah, I got Algebra. You?"

"Living environment"

"Cool." He pauses for a moment before going back to the previous subject. "Hey.. are you sure everything is fine?"

"Yes, everything is fine," I reassure him. "Just someone messing around." Without saying anything, he nods and gives me another sympathetical smile. I seriously do not want to involve him into my mess. 

"I just can't help but worry. I'm sorry if it's too intrusive. I know we just met and you wouldn't see me as a friend just yet but I really am worried for you" he expresses in a delicate tone.

"You are a friend.. I just don't want to drag you into it. I'm seriously fine. They're just fooling around," I try my best to play it off as nothing.

"We both know that's not true," he responds in a soft tone once again.

Feeling a pang on my chest, I look down at my feet. He takes a step closer and wraps his arms around me to comfort me. Warmth surrounds me as I give into the hug. I bury my face on his shoulder as we stood there for what felt seconds. "I know" I mutter. 

Slowly releasing me and taking a step back, he tenderly pats my head. "Let me help you."

"It's ok" I refuse once more. 

Reluctantly, he lets out a sigh and gives me a weak smile. "Ok"

"I'll be heading to class now," he adds on as he softens his expression. "I'm here for you alright"

"Thanks," I reply as he starts walking away. Once out of sight, I let out a sigh. I don't deserve him.
