The Heart Always Wins [The Jerk & her]

Chapter 25 - We're Friends Now

(Maddie's Pov)

It's Monday,

It's the day we move to other class according to our courses.

And Carl is still my classmate.

I heard that jerk didn't pick any course.

Oops, I was supposed to forget about him.

I went in to my new classroom with Carl.

~An hour later~

"Limited neurologic impulses transmitted from the brain to the respiratory muscles, as in spinal cord trauma, cerebrovascular accidents, tumors, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Ba-"

The professor was discussing about the risk factors for Hypoventilation.

"Okay," The professor faced us.

"I want you all to pair by two, and you will get out of this school, buy some stuffs needed like a scalpel, for the experiment later after lunch okay?" The professor said,

We all nodded,

"Okay, you may have your lunch."

All of the students left the room, exept for Carl and I.

"Girl, have you heard. There are new students again." Carl said, putting on a lip tint and fixing his Eye brows.

"Again!" I said,

He dropped his mirror down, and he looked at me.

"Yeah, and you know what. I've heard three of them are pretty handsome." He giggled,

I stood up from my arm chair,

"Come on, let's go have lunch. So that we could get out to buy the things needed for later." I said, reaching out my hand to him.

He stood up and we went to the canteen.

And if you ask...

Yes, it's just the both of us. Penny, Mitch, and Dave have different Lunch time.

We sat on our table, and started to eat.

When there's three boys came to us.

"Hey beautiful." A boy spoke to me,

I glared at him,

"Can we have some privacy please?" I said,

And Carl stayed silent.

Those boys laughed,

"What would you say if I ask you out on a date?"

"Not interested." I said, not even looking at him this time, and just continuing to eat.

He smashed his hand on the table, and everyone got his attention.

"Don't you know who's you talking to?" He whispered.

"No," I said,

He breathed heavily,

He took my book.

I stood up, and I tried to take it from him. I did get it back, but I spilled my orange juice in his pants, right on the zipper.

He got pissed off.

"Don't you know how expensive this is?!!! Pay for it or so help me I will-"

"Oh my god,"

"Why did James do that?"

"This I gotta see."

People were whispering,

He didn't continue what he was saying.

Because James punch him right before he could finish.

He punched James back, but James pushed him hard enough for him to fall to the ground.

I went beside James to grab his arm.

"Stop," I said,

All eyes are staring at us.

The boy stood up,

"Who. are. You?!" That boy he just punched said,

"I'm his girlfriend."

My heartbeat just went faster and faster.

James walked towards that guy.

"So stay awah from her. Unless you want me to give you another blackeye." He said,

(James's Pov)

I was at the clinic,

The nurse wasn't there, she's on break.

So Maddie was the one who took care of my wound on the cheek.

She put something in the cotton and she tapped it in my wound.

"Ahhh," I said with pain, and I held her hand to stop her from continuing.

"Don't be such a crybaby. This medicine will heal your wound for good. It's called IT'S NOT PAINFUL UNLESS YOUR GOOD."

I chuckled,

"No but, seriously. Thank you."

That's all I wanted to hear.

"Why did you did that anyway?" She added,

"Well, I did that..." I said,

"Because I want to, Period."

"But,"

"No buts," I stopped her, "I won't answer any of your questions."

"Thank you again, and for that I owe you."
She said,

"Really," I asked, and she nodded,

"How 'bout I offer you my trust? Friendship maybe?" She smiled at me.

Good

That's good.

"'Kay, fine." I said, and shake hands with her.

We both stood up from our chair.

"I know I didn't made the first impresion, can we do and introduction maybe?" I said,

"Maddie Anderson." She said, lending out a hand again.

"James Stanford," I shook hands with her.
