Jesstra: How Jesse And Petra Got Together

Misunderstandings

I went to first period where Scarlett was. I dreaded it. I felt extremely dizzy. I pushed off the lockers to keep steady. "Need help?" Someone asked me. I turned to find someone I didn't know. I shook my head and continued on my way, until my legs nearly buckled. She grabbed me and supported my weight. "Yes, you do." She insisted while walking me to my first period. "I'm Cassie. Who are you?" She asked while introducing herself. "I'm...Petra." I struggled to say. Suddenly we were still. "I'm so sorry Petra, but I can't help you, not when I'm bringing you to a class with Scar." She said with sorrow in her eyes when she sat me down on the floor. Finally my eyes gave up and closed.

"Miss Redd!" I heard someone yell at me. My eyes slowly opened. "You're 5 minutes late!" She continued to yell at me. I was getting dizzy again. "A-all due re-respect ma'am, but I-I can't help it." I struggled to get the words out, tears were filling up my tear ducts but I wouldn't let them out. "Get up and get up now." She instructed. "You're absent for months and now you're late!" She continued to say.
    I pulled myself up with the locks on the locker attached to the walls and stumbled in. I pushed off desks to get to mine next to Scarlett. Not a great first day back. I thought to myself trying to focus on the class. It was hard though, trying to not feel Scar's silent judgements and Cassie seemed okay but she was afraid of her and why? But the teachers misunderstood what was going on. A long time later, school was over and I did my best to find Jesse in the halls.
