" Hey, can I borrow a pencil?" I heard from behind me, as I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see who tapped on my shoulder only to be met with a thin, tall guy with messy hair, and the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen.
"S-sure." I stammered handing him a pencil. "Thanks, what's your name again?", he asked.
"Violet" I said back with more confidence then before. "Cool name. Can I call you V?", he asked. "Sure, I guess." I said not really caring for the conversation anymore. "Cool!"
"I'm Benjerman but you can call me Ben." "Hey! Maybe we can sit together during lunch?", he said. "Sure.", I said. "Awesome!" he said enthusiastically.Not knowing what else to say we sat and stared at each other in awkward silence. Thank the Lord the bell rang signaling the start of class breaking up our staring contest. As I turned around I couldn't help but to keep thinking about the tall boy behind me, with the beautiful hazel eyes and messy hair. Before I knew it, Mrs. Hearts boring lecture on how important algebra is lulled me to sleep. Next thing I knew I was awoken by another tap on my shoulder from behind me; saving me from nearly toppling out of my chair. I turned around to meet Ben's beautiful eyes. As we sat there staring at each other lost in his eyes, I realized he was pointing at the bored. Realizing this I abruptly turned around to again be met with a pair of eyes this time belonging to Mrs. Heart. "If you have time to sleep in my class you have time to do a 5 page essay on why algebra is important, by tomorrow don't you think!?", she yelled with obvious anger in her voice. I swallowed the lump in my throught caused by the shock from her yelling at me and the sudden attention I was getting from my piers at the moment."I-i'm so sorry Mrs.Heart, I didn't sleep well last night" I stuttered. "No excuses young lady!" she screamed. "Essay on my desk tomorrow morning, am I clear Miss Violet?!" she said. "Yes Mrs.Heart." I said looking down at my hands that were now entangled in each other( a nervouse habit I've had since I was little.) "Good." she said sternly and with that walked back up to the bored and continued the lecture causing everyone's attention to again be drawn towards her. On the verge of tears from embarisment, I heard someone whisper my name quietly behind me. I turned to see Benjerman smiling at me. "Cheer up, don't worry about her.", he said kindly. "Thanks", I said with a small nod. When the final bell rang I ran out the door to the bathroom as to not cry infront of everyone; I would never cry in front of anyone EVER. As I rushed to the bathroom I heard my name be called but ignored it and went to the first stall locking the door and crying silently. After I was done I went to unlock the door but stopped short when I heard the door to the bathroom open. As I listened from the stall I heard two girls chatting about random things, as I was about to come out of the stall again one of the girls began to say, "She's such an idiot." "Who?" the other girl asked. "Violet Cassidy." "She's such a freak too. Did you hear the way she stuttered?" " I-I-I-I-I'm s-s-so sorry m-Mrs. Heart." (Trying to mimic me.) "Ugh! She's so weird!" the girl said. "Deffinetly" the other replied. Hearing this I began to cry again silently as they left the restroom. I stayed in the restroom during lunch, hiding.
