Burning Fire

Glances

It was almost winter break just one month left. Everyone was so relieved, but, who wouldn't? Anyways it was snowing today. So, we had to spend the whole day inside. Ugh. Why can't school let us do one thing fun for at least one hour. Me and Chloe were getting ready for gym class. When we heard a girl confessing but then cried straight after, I followed the crying and saw her with, the school's golden boy, Adam. He's so stupid and annoying. I don't hate him, but I don't like him at all. The girl was crying and he told her to go away. "You can't speak to her like that!" I interrupted. "She's a living thing. Be respectful!" He gave this weird glance at me, and I walked off, and that girl followed me. "Hey, thanks. I couldn't have the guts to say that, to, Adam.." She stuttered. I saw the tears in her eyes, and just that minute, a tear rolled down her cheek.

I gave her a little squeeze on the shoulder and she said thank you once more. We all walked into gym class, and did our tiring, stupid warm up. The teacher looked up at Adam and gave him something. But, I didn't want to look at what he is doing. He treated that girl like she was nobody. Nothing, like a small little piece of food. Anyways, sorry food. It's not like he does that to food, if he does, I swear! Then I got cut off by my teacher. "Have you got anything more important to say, Jen?" He said loudly purposely so everyone could hear. "No." I replied quietly. Everyone chuckled a bit and I just crossed my arms looking particularly at Sienna. She's the worst person at Willow High. Honestly, I don't even know why she has minions. Ugh. Anyways, why am I even thinking of her? I'm giving her what she wants. Attention. Why am I so stupid?

After gym class was time to go home. Relieved. Before I stepped out from the door I heard somebody shouting, "Jenny! Jenny!" I quickly turned around, and it was the girl from earlier. I looked at her and she quickly came up to me. "Hey, I'm Amy." She said and passed me a note. Before I knew it, she ran off. I opened the note and it had written down, 'Hey. Thanks for earlier. It really helped. Anyways, Adam, he, he, really upset me. But, I'll be over it soon, don't worry. Anyways, here's my number:' and then her number was written down. I quickly folded the note and stuffed it in my bag. But then I heard my name from behind me. Once again. I didn't even need to turn around to look who it was, it was him, Adam. I had no time for him, I kept walking down the street, but suddenly, I felt a hand grab onto my wrists.
