Leave Me Alone

*Andrew's POV*

Honestly, I am so sick of this. All she wants to do is talk to me. She has been texting me almost daily since we called that damn truce. I knew that I should've said no. But noooo. I just had to have to want it over with.

"Yo. Andrew. What did u think about our teacher's point about politics???"

"I think its bullshit." Why is she torturing me like this by talking with me?! Does she really have to think that I have an opinion just cause I talk with our history teacher about it. Who cares what I do.

"You think that everything he says is 'bullshit'" Actually. I do not. Ok. Maybe sometimes. By sometimes. I mean all the time.

"Ya. so. Who gives a fuck about my opinion anyway? Well excluding you of course."

"Good point. Cause no one cares. To everyone. You are just a jerk anyways."

"Yep. That's me. I have always been that way.

Since you asked me. What is your opinion on his topic."

"I hated every second of it. It was a bunch of crap. It's like he was trying to push his agenda on us. He says that hes not trying to. But really. He is. He just won't admit it at all."

"Preach honey. I get that vibe too. Finally. Someone at this school who sees eye to eye with me. Its so rare at this stupid sheltered school for someone to not be that way." If any of you have at one point put a private school kid and a public school kid in the same room. Well then you know how ugly it gets the second you say "politics."

"I didnt realize how rare I was."

"I hate to say it but ya. You are so different from the rest. Why?"

"Idk"

*At the Park Later that Day*

I'm tired of staying at home doing nothing. I walked down to the park next to my school, since it was the closest one to my apartment. I just need a nice walk to clear my mind. And maybe run the track while I am there.

Little Miss Annoying Art was there running too. Dammit. There goes avoiding her. Oumph. What was that? More like who.

"What the hell Andrew! Can't you tell that I am running here!" Ya I did know but honestly I didn't expect to crash into her here. Literally.

"Sorry. Geez. Chill girl."

"How am I supposed to chill?! I was trying to have a peaceful run and then you just show up. How else am I meant to feel?!" I tried to back away from Art, but she would not let me move and inch. Urgh. What am I supposed to do now.

"I'm sorry. Gosh."

"Fine whatever. Just don't do that again. You ass." She rolled her pretty little green eyes at me. Damn she is pissed. Hold on.

Was that curse word I hear?! Oh my god. She never ceases to amaze me and make me want her more. "Damn did you just curse to my face. Holy shit! I'm shook."

"Shut up Andrew. Just cause I don't curse at school like you do. The doesn't mean that I don't outside of school. I am not that kind of stereotypical private school kid. Sorry to disappoint." Well then. I had hopes.

How can I change the topic from this to maybe something better. I got it! "You're hot."

"What?!" Well maybe that was the wrong thing to say. I got no idea anymore. I am just going to continue pushing this. I just want her... In more ways than just one.

"You are hot."

"No I am not!"

I really hate it when she does this. Why can't she just own it. It is something that you would think she would be proud of but nope. Not at all. I mean maybe she never wanted that kind of attention. "Yes you are."

"Am not!"

"Are too!" Oh god. We sound like little kids. Honestly. Damn! I am going to regret this shit later.

"Am not!"

I whispered in her ear, "We need to take this argument somewhere" I was hoping like my bedroom. But you know. Then she would really think that I am a perverted little asshole. Oh wait. I am. So maybe that is a correct thought to have about me.

"No. This ends here and now." Dammit. I tried at least. You know.

"What is there to say?"

"Hm. Maybe. Artemis you are not hot and I am crazy. Sounds good?" Ha does she really think that I will say that to her face. Oh hell no. I would not if I could avoid it. But I am so into her that I must.

"Fine." I had to pause and get my thoughts together. "Artemis, you are not hot and I am crazy since I thought that you are. But I have a confession." I am going to say it. I really should not. But holding this is is killing me. "I Like you. A lot. That fight proved it even more."

"Thank you. Wait! What! Andrew, I'm sorry. I can not feel that for you. All my friends hate you. You and me. It won't ever work out. I'm sorry I just have to go. I need to finish this run. Bye." No. Why?! Art!!!

She runs off, her hair flowing in the wind as she sprints away from me. I begin running as fast as I could in order to catch up with her.

"Come on. Just hold on a sec. I'm sorry ok."

In between her tears. "It's fine. I never should've felt anything for you anyway." She runs off sobbing.

"I don't know what to do." I tell myself under my breath.

*A Few Hours Later*

"Hey Art. I'm sorry. How can I make it up to you?"

She didn't respond to me at her usual pace of only minutes. This time. It was well over an hour.

"I don't think u can make it up to me that easily..."

"Well what do you want?"

"A challenge."

"To what"

"A race.

U vs me"

"Ha. Easy."

"You don't know me then" She seemed a bit cocky. I have no idea why honestly. Art is soooo smug considering she is talking to a baseball player.
