Complicated [Matthew Espinosa]

Chapter 5

2nd period I had Algebra-2 with Piper and Matthew. I was shocked that Piper even made it this far. She's dumb and mean. That's not a good combination at all! 

When I entered Room 13 Mrs. Teresa's class, Piper immediately made a rude remark with her little 'clique.'

"Little miss poor bitch actually came to school! I thought you died in the fire, oops!" She laughed like a hyena with her fake friends, who only want her for her money. 

"Gigantic big rich bitch actually came to class! I thought you would've left school by now, knowing how stupid you are and all." I gave her an innocent smile and walked off the my desk. I know I'm not suppose to use such bad language and rude remarks, but you're suppose to treat someone the way that they treat you. It can't be bad-to-nice. That's too unbalanced, it had to be bad-to-bad. And I know, you need to 'kill them with kindness.' But, I was so fed up with her rude remarks. What was I to do? 

I sat down in my desk and pulled out my binder. I looked beside me to remember, oh yeah, Matthew sits by me. I don't know really how I could forget, though, I practically stalk the guy. 

"Nice comeback." He smiled and pulled out his fist. I ducked down, not wanting to get punched. "Chill, I was just going to fist pump you." I laughed and fist pumped him. "Cute laugh, by the way." 

I swear, I was blushing like a fresh tomato fully-grown on a summer day. 

"Thanks." 

Mrs. Teresa finally came into class and started teaching us Algebra. I felt an urge to go pee and so of course I asked her if I could use the restroom. When she approved of it, I walked out calmly out of the classroom. When the door finally closed behind me, I ran as quickly as I could to the bathroom, which wasn't so quick since I wasn't an athletic person. I walked into the stall and did my business, and I heard someone walk in with heels. Piper. She was the only one who ever wore heels at school. 

"Little miss poor bitch! You here?" Once I was done, I flushed the toilet, walked out, and walked straight to the sink and washed my hands.

"Excuse me? Aren't you going to answer me?" She bitched.

"Yes? What do you need, Queen Bee?" I said in a joking-manner. So fed up.

"This is for making a great comeback in the beginning of class." She slapped my face, not too hard, but enough to make my face have a red mark. She started walking out until I heard more footsteps and a slight gasp. 

"What did you do?" I heard a familiar voice say.

"N-nothing! I swear." Piper said.

"I know that's a huge fucking lie. You hurt her didn't you? You left right after Mrs. Teresa let Malycia go." Matthew. He came here for me?

"Why are you even here?" Piper scoffed.

"I knew you were going to hurt her. I need to protect her. If I went home and my mother saw her with a giant red mark on her face, she'd flip." Piper laughed out loud.

"She lives with you?!" she said.

"Yeah, she does. I'm not afraid to say it. Her house burned down, and her father was close friends with my parents. It's called doing a good and nice deed. Maybe you should learn how to do that, since you're such a bitch." Matt said. "Go apologize to her." Next thing I knew, I saw Matthew force her back into the bathroom to say sorry to me. His eyes fell upon mine, then towards my cheek, and he looked like he felt sorry for me. He had that look in his eyes, I'm positive.

"I'm not going to apologize to her!" Piper yelled. Matthew's jaw clenched and he looked like he was about to hit her. 

"Say sorry!" he screamed. She shook in fear and she finally apologized, but not only for her slap to my face, but for everything she did. I was beyond shocked.

"You can go now." Matthew said and pushed her out. He then walked to me and checked my cheek. "You okay?" he asked in reassurement. He sounded so sincere and sweet.

"Yeah, I'm fine. She had a weak hit." I giggled, with him laughing with me. But there was one question I was dying to ask. "Why did you do it? Honestly." 

He looked me in the eyes and said something I never saw coming. 

"I have to protect you." he said sincerely. He stared my eyes down and I felt my knees go weak. He picked me back up. "Let's get to class."

It was now 6th period and I couldn't get the incident with Matthew out of my head. Was he serious or was he just leading me on? I don't know, but it's still driving me crazy. I told Menaderellia and Janice about it, but not Oscar. I didn't want him to be bummed out. Mena and Jan really shipped us, too. I shouldn't have told them that, though. They'll now start making it super obvious that I like him.

But anyways, 6th period. The worst period of all periods. P.E. Like I said before, I'm not athletic. I'm not up for that sort of stuff. And what Mr. Sijay said in class today made me super mad.

"And tomorrow, students, we'll be having a relay with Mrs. Sijay's class!" Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Sijay. They do this every month, but it still makes me super mad. And what makes it worse, is that Matthew is in Mrs. Sijay's class this period. I get to embarass myself more infront of him. 

"But this relay is different. If we win, we get to have pizza at the end and you don't have to go to the last 2 periods of the day!" Everyone cheered, especially me. I mean, FREE PIZZA?! I'm up for it if there is pizza available. Always up for it. And if I really wanted that pizza, I had to work really hard. 

I need that pizza.
