Beautiful Scars [1] ✔

Chapter Five

The minute Mr. Henry dismissed us, I grabbed my bags hurriedly, tears streaming down my face, little droplets falling onto my schedule.

I noticed people staring but I didn't even care. People teased the one thing I hated about myself, something I could never change. I took deep, slow breaths, trying to compose myself before my next class, which was English, my favorite class.

I felt a tug on my arm, and I turned, angry.

Matthew. Why of all people did he have to show up?

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I'm supposed to show you around remember?"

Oh, yeah. But did I want him too? Heck no!

"Why don't you escort someone prettier?" I retorted.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?! I know you're the one who said that comment!" I whispered, angry tears prickling my eyes.

His face was one of pure hurt. "Why would I even want to do that?!"

"You said it, I know you did! That's the reason you were being quiet, and not saying anything, because you didn't want to get caught!"

His face changed from hurt to angered within a matter of seconds. " Why do you think that I want to hurt or tease you? If I wanted to, wouldn't I have done it already? But fine, if that's what you want, I'll leave you alone. Doesn't bother me either way." He glared at me one last time before he walked away, and I stared at him, silence forming before me.

I sat in English and did the same introduction as last time but no one said anything. Except we were required to do a poem about our feelings and turn it in three days. So, basically, Monday.

I looked around the classroom, taking in all of my classmates. There was one girl wearing a pink bow, and I soon learned her name was Melissa. There was a quiet boy with jet black hair, and dark, dark, dark blue eyes like the sea at nighttime and he was busy scribbling something in his notebook, throughout the entire class period, and his name was Aston Clarks. I thought about what happened earlier and tears fell on my notebook as I cried silently.

School finally ended and I waited outside on the curb for Mrs. Tilly.

I thought about everything that had happened today and my heart sunk. I already had enough sadness, now I could add more to the list.

A honk snapped me to my surroundings, and I stood up quickly, relieved to be leaving. I closed the door quickly behind me and Mrs. Tilly gave me a warm smile. "So? How was your day? I'm betting it was awesome."

I didn't reply for a few minutes, then finally found my voice.

Instead of talking, I was sobbing, and I found myself being wrapped up in a hug, and get this: returning the favor.
