Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

Recap:

Jale lives down the street to Megan's house. Megan is the new girl at school. Really shy and socially awkward.

Jale's POV

Three days.

That's how long it's been since I last talked to goody two shoes. It's not that long yet it feels like forever.

I keep thinking about her and it's starting to get annoying. I see her everyday on my way to school. She always averts her gaze and hides her face behind her light brown hair. She was obviously avoiding me. Why? I have no idea.

At school, she made a friend. The girl's name is Tammy, I believe. She has the bluest eyes i have ever seen and untamable curly auburn hair. Tammy moved to this town last year, so she's still a bit of an outcast. Why of all people, Megan chose to befriend Tammy, is beyond me.

I pulled out my phone and checked the time. I was late for class. Oh well.

Once I finally entered the classroom, all eyes trained on me.

"Take a picture it'll last longer." I smirked.

Some girls blushed and some guys rolled their eyes. I looked to see Megan's reaction, but was disapointed when I saw she was furiously scribbling in her notebook.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Heart was giving me an earful on how being tardy disrupts the class or something like that. I nodded until she was done and took a seat behind Meghan.

Throughout the class, I watched as she took notes, doodled a bit and almost fell asleep. I couldn't blame her. The teacher was currently talking about her cat. Oh wait no, now she was talking about her annoying husband.

Why do I even bother showing up to class?

Megan's phone vibrated and I coughed to cover up the noise.

She shot me a grateful and confused look then returned her attention to her phone.

I looked at her screen and saw that she recieved a really long text.

Not bothering to read it, I looked instead at what she wrote in reply.

'Text me one more time and you will lose your other thumb.'

I leaned back in my seat and thought about what i just saw.

Who was she texting? And why didn't she like that person? Is she being harassed? Blackmailed?

I frowned at the thought. She must be. She's weak and fragile, an easy target. I felt anger at that thought. I was going to make sure whoever that was stayed away from Megan. I felt like I needed to and I think I know why...

During the whole day, I watched the clock tick by agonizingly slowly, anxiously waiting for the wretched bell to ring. Eventually, after a lot of foot taping and pencil breaking, it did. I was the first out if the class and bolted to find Meghan. I was going to find out why she was avoiding me.

I found her alone at her locker and cornered her.

"Why are you avoiding me?" I asked.

"W-what? I'm not avoiding y-you." She forced a laugh.

I took a step closer so are chests were flushed together. Her face turned crimson and her mysterious brown eyes locked with mine. I could feel her breath quicken at our closeness.

"Do I make you nervous sweet cheeks?"

"N-no." She squeaked.

"Why are you avoiding me?" I demanded.

"I, uh, y-you-

"Well?"

"You s-scare me." She said rapidly.

I stepped back and tried to dissimulate the hurt I felt. I always knew I was a big guy and I prefered to stay in the shadows. I was what one would call a bad boy, I suppose. But for some reason, when she said that, I felt upset. Upset that she didn't trust me.

Why would I want her to trust me? I thought.

I shook the thought away. Just then, Evan joined us.

"Sup' man." He fist bumped me. "Hey little lady." He nodded to Meghan.

"H-hello." She stammered.

"Awn the cute little girly stutters." He teased, ruffling her hair.

She blushed and an emotion I couldn't quite decipher crossed her soft features.

"Ha-ha yeah. Well I'm just gonna go and leave you to your lady friends."

I raised a brow and Evan burst out laughing.

"Our lady friends? Dude I love this chick." Evan wheezed out.

Her face was red with embarrassment. "I'm on my period!" She blurted and ran away.

Evan doubled over with laughter while I stood next to him, still unable to process what the hell just happened.
