Chapter Eleven

"Welcome Back, darling." The admin teacher says with a bright smile.

So 2nd term just started. It's my first day back and I've gotten weird stares from people. I haven't seen Perrie or Milly or even Alanna today so I'm pretty much lost today. I can't help the feeling that every pair of eyes were on me. I feel my anxiety levels rise very fast just as I get to my next class.

I went inside the bathroom to calm myself before I lose myself. It took a while but when I did, the door to the cubicle opened. I stumbled back when I realize who just walked out.

"You're not happy to see me, aren't you?" She says in her typical deceiving voice.

"Why aren't you in Australia?" My voice barely audible. She chuckles as she washes her hands.

"The others are here too, you know. Vlad's here and Johnny. They got inspired with this ridiculous educational crap of yours." She says ignoring my question.

"You're kidding." I say. I hope I'm not giving out as much expression as I think I am. Carrie will use it against me at her own expense.

"Actually I'm not. You and Vlad have Computer Science together." She says with a grin. "Goodluck."

She takes a step closer to me and stares me down. A smirk played on her face and looks up to meet my eye. "Nice ring." She says before walking away.

"There's this new guy in my English class and i swear he's some kind of Greek god. The son of Zeus if you want me to be specific!" Ellison says and continues eating her lunch.

"What's his name?" I ask her.

"Hmm... It's something with a

V..." She says.

"Vlad?" I answer her. She grins and nod at me.

Well no doubt, Vlad is handsome but his attitude is rotten. He's so immature and Carrie's little henchman. I can survive a few more months in uni with Carrie but with Johnny and Vlad? Its the same as having 5 Carrie's; times 5 the trouble.

I stopped eating since I felt like I lost my appetite just thinking about it. I excused myself and got up, dumping my leftovers in the bin. I take a deep breath before going out of the cafeteria. I found myself going on, for how long? I don't know but I did until got out of the building just to avoid those three.

Just my luck.

Vlad is sitting on the steps, blocking the way. It was too late to run when he noticed me standing by the door. He got up and caught up to me immediately. He grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall.

"Hey, hey, where are you going?" He asks.

"Out. Can't you tell?" I say, trying to walk pass him but he pushed me back against the wall.

"No... It's been a while since I've seen you, Megan. Everyone said you skipped first term. Why is that?" He asks. His grin shows me he's taunting me on purpose.

"As far as your concerned, its none of your business..." I say, my voice shaking so bad. My other hand consciously moved to cover up my wrist. Even with all the bracelets I wear, it's still noticeable. "Get out of my way." I say through gritted test and moved past him. He knocks my notebook out of my hand. I panicked while I pick it up. I just want to get away from him.

I hear him laugh as I walk away. His stupid laugh won't get out of my mind. The farther I move away, the more I can hear the taunting in his voice.
