The next class I had was history. Oh how I dread history. I wonder if people are going to stare at me since I was acting like a fucking psycho yesterday. As I walked in all eyes went on me, even the teacher's. I quickly rush to the other side of the classroom, away from where Michael was. I see him smirking at me. I avoid looking at him and pull out my books and pay attention to the teacher, but the entire time I just felt he was staring at me. It made me feel insecure. Did I have something on my face? Is he laughing at my weight or my face? Is he making fun of me since my hair is so dull and boring unlike his. I start to shift in my seat trying to hide my face with my hair. 

"Preston, are you paying attention." I jump a little in my seat.

"Yes Mr. Hood." I say.

"In what year was the articles of confederation ratified?" 

"1781." I respond quickly. 

"Good Ms. Hyland." He says obviously shocked about how quick my answer was.

He turns and starts to explain to us the Articles. 

I look one more time towards Michael, and guess what? He was still staring at me. I feel so uncomfortable. 

Once class ends I go to my locker and take out the books I need for my next 3 periods. As I close my locker, I see Michael leaning up the one next to mine.

"Hey Preston." 

"Um hi." I say awkwardly as I shove all the books into my bag.

He grabs his hand and lifts my chin up. 

"Michael wha-what are you doing?" I say scared that he's about to hit me.

But instead he brings his lips close to my ear and whispers,"This is just the beginning." And with that he walks away, leaving me there speechless and scared.

Nothing really happened in British Lit, it was truly one of the most boring classes ever, but I wasn’t complaining. It’s better then having classes with any of the boys. The next class I had was AP Chemistry. I enter the class and the first thing my eyes land on is Luke. He was sitting back there in the corner with his earphones in his ears. While looking at him, I remember him playing his guitar and singing. 

“Hey do you have a partner?” I turn around to see a beautiful blonde girl sitting down at the table. 

“No, I don’t.” I try to say with a smile.

“Want to be mine?” she asks. I wonder why she wants me to sit next to her. I mean I’m like nothing compared to her. She had a perfect figure, she was pretty tall, and her hair was so gorgeous. 

“Sure.” I say and took a seat next to her. 

I start to take out my notebook and pencils when she starts talking to me.

“By the way, my name is Delilah.” Wow she even has a pretty name.

“My name is Preston.” I say trying to hide the embarrassment. I really did have a boy’s name. 

“So Preston, you got a crush on Luke I see.” As soon as she says those words, my eyes  widen and I turn red. 

I face her,” No not at all. I don’t even know him. I’ve only talked to him once. He probably hates me anyways. Oh sorry I’m rambling.” I say. 

To my surprise she was laughing. “I was kidding. I say that to every girl just to freak them out since Luke and I are dating.”

Oh. “Aw you guys make a cute couple.” I say trying to sound as sincere as I can.
