She's A Fighter

11. Dark classroom

Today's a great day. No struggle, no stress and nothing to worry about. Not until Mrs Johnson give us an assignment. Not that I hate assignment but guess what? It's a pair work. Do you ever have to do a pair work with someone you feel uncomfortable with? Yes, that's pretty much my situation right now. I have to do this work with this person I feel super uncomfortable with. You know, as a new student, it feels so awkward to work with a total stranger. Especially when she's hot and surrounded by boys every time she walks in the hallways.

“Hi.” I greeted her nervously as soon as she sat next to me to discuss about this assignment.

“Hi, I'm Jessica. You must be Charlotte. Everyone had been talking about you lately.”

“I guess that's me.” I smiled. She's not that bad actually. She's nice and beautiful.

During recess,  me and Jessica went to canteen to have lunch and to meet Maybelle

“Hey Charlotte. And hi Jessica.” Maybelle looked shocked seeing me with her.

“Hey Maybelle, can she join us?” I asked.

“Absolutely. It's a pleasure!” Maybelle answered excitedly while looking at Jessica.

“Oh, don't call me that, you guys can call me Jess.” Jessica said.

“Charlotte, how can you befriend with someone popular like her?” Maybelle asked as if Jess was a popular celebrity.

“We're partnered for an assignment that Mrs Johnson gave in class just now.” I answered her.

“Is that so? Then you two know you have to work this assignment successfully because everyone in school know she's very strict.”

“You don't have to remind us.” Jess winked.

Suddenly, I smelled something I've known for so long. A nice smell that stick with me since I was in diapers. It's him, Michael.

“Jess, here you are! I thought we're having lunch together like we always do every day!” he exclaimed seriously.

Suddenly, Jess' face turn red. What have I witnessed? Michael come here for her? Ignore that. Is that true? They're having lunch together every day? Is she my replacement or something? No. Are they...dating?

When he saw me, he cursed under his breath. I can't help but run away from them before I burst into tears.

I ran into one of an empty classes. It was dark in there, so   I cried as much as I want without bothering anyone looking at me. I just can't accept the truth that he's actually moved on. How can he possibly do that while me, regretting all we've done every single day. I never thought of his replacement. How can he ever did that...

I cried even louder before I heard the class door being open. There was a silhouette of a man I knew so well. Without hesitated, I jumped into him and hugged him tightly. I don't know why but it felt so right. Suddenly, I found his lips being pushed against mine.

After a few minutes on his embrace, I was brought back to reality and broke our kiss apart and blushed. What happened? When I look at him, all I can see in his eyes was guilty.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked him, but he remained silent as if that was the longest wait ever.

“You shouldn't be here, now go!” I mad at him even though deep down, I know  I don't want him to leave.

Suddenly, he wiped my tears away with his thumb gently and said “Charlotte. Shh... please don't cry. I feel bad seeing you cry.”

When I can finally talk again, I look at him by his eyes and said, “How do you know I'm here?” while looking at his usual black leader jacket wet by my tears.

“It's English class. I've waited for too long that I decided to look for you.” He answered and I blushed

“Thank you. But why did you do this?” I finally have the courage to asked him, and he started to licked his lower lips.

“I don't have an idea, love. I feel that I have to.
I guess that's my job now.” he winked.

“Why do you always do this?”

“Do what?”

“Are you flirting with me?”

“If that's what you think, then go ahead. I have no rejection.”

“Oh my god, stop it.” I giggled.

“If I refuse?” he teased me

“Then I'll leave.”

“Wait, where are you going?”

“I'm going to tell Mr Grayson that instead of being in his class right now, you're flirting with me.”

“Oh really? You won't”

“Oh really, I will” I mocked him

I quickly ran leaving him there and went to my English class. When I look behind me, Luke was there, running like crazy to stop me. When I opened the door, I tell Mr Grayson everything. Just kidding! I was actually teasing Luke.

“Pardon me?” said Mr Grayson

“I'm sorry. May I come in? I went to sick room just now.”
“Sure, come in.”

When I took my seat, Luke just arrived. I giggled silently while taking out my book.

Mr Grayson took off his glasses and gave Luke a dead glare as he approached him slowly. “Excuse me, Mr Aaron. Who do think you are? Went out of my class without my permission and come back here thirty minutes later?”

“I'm so sorry sir. I suddenly felt like to vomit. So I immediately went out without asking your permission. I promise I won't do that again.” I laugh at his lie because I know it's not true at all.

“Whatever. Take your seat.”

Luke sat next to me and I smiled crazily
“You bad girl.” He looked at me and said that but I pretended not to hear him.

“You bad boy” Luke burst into laughter and I can't help but to join him that cause us detention class.

“Hey, this detention isn't too bad actually. Try to look at the good side, we able to spend extra time together.” Luke convinced me.

“You're right.”
