"Of course!come in !" Ella said smiling happily.
The person stepped into the room revealing a boy with tanned skin, green beautiful eyes and light brown hair. It took me a little while to realise that the boy that was taking a seat behind me, was none other than Lucien Black.
Ella told the class again about the activity and I felt someone poking me from behind. I turned to see Lucien grinning at me.
"You never texted or called me even though I gave you my number" He said frowning playfully.
Truth be told, I didn't know what to do with his number, so I put it on my bookshelf for if I ever needed it.
"Okay, so there will be 5 groups! With 4 to 5 people in each group!" Ella called out to the class
Everyone in the room began making their groups and trying to convince Lucien to join their group, but he continued to sit in his chair behind me.
"Luciennn" purred a girl , I think called Sarah " come join our group". The girls in her group giggled and battered their eyes at him.
"What about Aria, she won't have a group? " Lucien said in a defensive tone.
The girls looked at him then looked at me, their eyes turning into slits as they glared at me. Trying to decide wether they let me join their group.
"Fine" said Haley, she turned to the other girls in the group for confirmation. And they all nodded.
I pulled out my laptop and began researching problems to do with detention centres for youth. Which was our topic.
"U..um, a..any ideas?" I asked the group and the girls ignored me, as they texted away on their phones.
"I think that it should be about rehabilitation and protection of youth in detention centres, and to prevent mistreatment of youth " Lucien said in a bored voice. I nodded and began typing out the bill purpose.
"Victims and perpetrators ages 10-17" I added into the bill.
"You and your group have got until Friday 12am to have the Bill emailed to me so we can present in class on Friday!" Ella said sternly " you are all dismissed"
I saved the document and turned of my laptop, packing it into my backpack and packing up my books and pencil case. I waited for the majority of the room to leave before I exited the room.
At lunch I sat alone because Ellie was home sick. I didn't like being alone, it made me feel, so, so vulnerable...
"You!" Came a screeching sound from near the tree I sit at usually with Ellie. I noticed it was Amy coming toward me. A worried look crept onto my face the closer she got to me.
"Look loser, I heard that Lucien was in your project group. Lucien is out of your reach Nerd, so do us all a favour and leave him alone." She growled at me
"B...but, I can't" I said truthfully looking at the ground, too scared to meet her deadly gaze. "He is in my group, so I can't"
"Whatever. " she said reaching out to me and ripping my hearing aid from my right ear. I winced as she did and blood started to run down to my elbow. The pain was excruciating but I needed my hearing aid back.
"Another pair? Well...."
She walked towards the pond near the tree and I got up cupping my ear and trying to grab it from her with my free hand.
"P..please, give it back" I said, my voice starting to break as I tried to get it from her. She held her hand out to me and I went to grab it when she threw it into the pond.
My eyes widened in shock as I came to realise that was yet another broken hearing aid. But it didn't stop me. I ran to the edge of the pond and looked at the water trying to see it. The pond didn't look too deep, so I did something that even shocked myself. I had taken out my hearing aid and jumped into the pond.
I was drenched, from head to toe. I climbed out of the pond and out my hearing aid which I left on the side of the pond back in. I slumped my shoulders as I walked past the little crowd which had formed and trudged to the nurses office so I could get dried off.
I opened the door to the nurses office and entered the room. Kate, the nurse looked at me, her eyes wide as she saw how wet I was and had bits of blood dried on my ear.
"Oh Hun" she said trying g to comfort me
Kate gave me clean dry clothes and let me leave school early. I walked the thirty minutes home and made myself some food and went to bed.
