My Twin Flame

Chapter 3

After our little hug, all the girls that saw what happened start to give me extra dirty looks. I walk back over to my locker and get my stuff ready for my first class.

Joey walks me over showing me where everything is and short-cuts. As I go to my first class, I sit in an empty desk and another girl sits right next to me.

She lightly taps me on my shoulder while my head is down on the desk.

"Did you realize who you were just talking to?"

"Um..excuse me?"

" Don't you know?"

"I'm sorry I really don't."

"Okay, but you where talking to Joey! The guy everyone wants to be, to date, and everything else."

"Um...cool"

"Hi sorry im Carrie."

"Alyssa."

"You better watch out for Stephanie because she likes Joe and she doesn't like it when other people like you are around him."

"Well whats wrong with me."

"Nothing it's just that your very pretty and everything. Your the person everyone would want to be."

"Well it seems like we have two talkative people in our class. This is not the time to talk. Save it for lunch and after school you two." our English teacher scolds us.

After our first few classes, its lunch time and its so crowded.  I walk into the lunch room and get some food. Joey comes behinds me and offers to pay for my lunch but I refused to let him. He somehow payed for lunch without me even knowing.

As we walk over to our table filled with his buddies, I started to feel like I shouldn't be here and his friend's start to whisper things again.

" Do we have to sit here? I really don’t want to please."

" Yea dont let them bother you. They're not going to hurt u. If they try to i'll hurt them okay?"

"okay"

As I sit down everyone just starts to stare at me and I feel so uncomfortable.

"Hey so Alyssa how'd you get to be....um....you know so 'popular' within a day? Hun?" some guys says

"Guys, leave her alone she's not a bad person. She's actually the sweetest person on this earth."

"Thank you." I mumble

Then all the boys leave and move to another table. I move my hand off of the table onto the seat and Joey moves hand in top of mine.

"Oh, sorry." he says blushing

"No it fine you could've left it there. It was no problem. Um.... how come your friends dont like me?"

"I actually dont know. "

He just stares at me ans it's silent for the rest of the time we are there. He then walked me to my math class and puts his arm around me. Stephanie was in the same class too. This meant extra trouble.

As we entered, she walked over to Joey and pulled him away from me so he could sit next to her. I ended up sitting in the back of the class and he kept staring back at me.

I space out for a couple of times and wonder why he is being so nice to me. After class is over,  I walk out waiting for Joey and Stephanie comes over to me and gives me a death glare.

She walks infront of me and says something to me, but I couldn't make out what she said. Then there's a stinging feeling in my cheek and  Joe come out finding me crying.

He takes my hand off of my cheek and takes me to the nurse to get a ice pack.

"I can't leave you alone or anything you know that right."

"yea pretty much."

"Im so sorry that I wasn't there to protect you. I'm so sorry."

" No don't be. I should've seen that coming."

He walks me back to my locker and we leave school.

As i think back to what happened, I remember what he said "Im so sorry that I wasn't there to protect you." What was that supposed to mean?

I rethink those few words and I feel this funny fuzzy feeling making me happy.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you."
