The Magic in Low Valley

Chapter 5- Ugh

 Sometimes the only way to describe a feeling you've been having is groaning out ugh as loudly and lonely as possible. It's amazing how we have a whole English language, and yet the only thing we can use to describe the feeling we get when we hate or are disgusted by something so much, that we use the word that isn't even a word, ugh.

It's Wednesday. My favorite day of the week is over, and in the past twentyfour hours, I have been opened to a new world, on Earth.

After standing in the kitchen for an awkward minute, I decided to spend the night at their house, I didn't feel like being alone in this new world of magic.

I told my mom I had a project and settled in for the night.

Teddy, Cameron, and I were huddled in front of the school.

The book didn't fit in anyone's backpack, so we left it at home in their family vault, where they hoped it would be safe.

"So is Derk gonna be there?" Cameron asked.

"Who knows, he might have just been here for the book." I answered, glancing behind my back often.

"So, gameplan is, avoid at all costs, if he approaches you, leave, and if you have an issue, we text each other and meet up here." Cameron broke off from the group and went into the school, Teddy and I followed, walking arm in arm.

It was automatically clear where he was as soon as we walked in, as there was a gaggle of girls surrounding the door of the main office. Some were trying to be nonchalant, but others flirted about shamelessly.

Teddy and I sped past the crowd and parted ways, I upstairs, and her to the left and down the hall.

As quickly as I could, I grabbed my stuff and jogged to the next stairwell and down to the safety of my first class, biology.

My first hour was with Cam, and as soon as I saw him, I took the seat next to him. The last hour was the only other one I had with him.

The time passed quickly and before I knew it, the bell for hour two rang and I quickly slunk to my next hour, French.

Only figures he was there. His emotions flickered from surprise to a mischievous happy and .02 seconds.

He arrogantly strolled over while I set my backpack down.

"So we meet again, mademoiselle." he said, pulling my chair back for me, gesturing for me to sit. Rolling my eyes, I smiled then smiled prettily, "Arrêtez-vous cul pompeux." promptly sitting in the chair on the opposite side of the aisle from him.

"hey maintenant, qu'est-ce que j'ai fait?"

"Well for one-" the teacher gave me a look and i hissed the rest in french "tu as volé le livre de mon ami, et alors vous avez rendu impossible de trouver, pour ne pas mentionner que vous avez cassé notre voiture. ET tu as essayé de m'embrasser." I promptly finished as the bell rang. Him, with an eyebrow raised, sat back in his seat and listened to the teacher.

Throughout the rest of class, I tried to ignore him, no easy feat when the teacher called on him every time.

As soon as the bell rang, I hurried out as quickly as possible.

"Cassidy! Cassidy, wait.' he ran up to my side. "Please, just listen." he pleaded, girls looking at him as we passed.

"What?" I snapped, stopping promptly at my locker. "You may think I'm on the bad side, but I'm not." slamming my locker shut, I continued walking, not looking at his stupidly perfect face.
