Avery's Point Of View

"Ouch, that looks painful." Lydia looks at the scars, then Eugene walks past. Lydia smiles at me, I try to hold back my smile and the embarrassment i felt.

"Aw, you're blushing." She smiles, "he's not worth it." She stated, holding my shoulders. I raised my eyebrows, "why? Tell me why." I say. 

"Because he is mean." She stated, "do you even talk to him?" I asks. "No.. But Casey does." She says, pointing to Casey.

She is talking to Eugene, Eugene was chasing her around playfully. "They seem cute together." Lydia says, I felt something hit my chest. 

Casey laughs, walking over to us. "Got his number for you." She throws a small piece of paper on my lap. "You're welcome!" She says, walking off.

She was wearing a short skirt, just right below her ass. "Such a slut." Lydia whispers, "Lydia, don't be mean." I snap at her. 

"If you really like Eugene, get him before Casey does." Lydia says, the bell rings indicating that that lunch is over. 

"I don't like Eugene. I just find him cute." I stated, telling her like it's the 100th time. "He is not cute." She stated as we make our way to biology class.

We took our seats, "today, we will be presenting the work you all have been doing for the past few months. And we will be joined by some students." Our teacher says. 

I groan softly, I look down at my biology notes. Lydia then suddenly nudge me urgently, "what? What?" I frown slightly.

I look up, Eugene Hunter.

Oh geez. 

My sticky arm was my plastic textbook page, i lift my arm up since it's getting uncomfortable. Then the page tore half.

"Oh shit," I muttered, "Evans." The teacher says. Everybody turn to me, everybody. "Yeah?" I look at him. He sighs, shaking his head. 

"Since there's no one beside you, you guys find a place at the back." The teacher says to Eugene's group of people. 

Lydia smiles widely at me, they make their way here. 

A guy seated beside me, "hey, move to the back." Lydia smiles cockily and look down at her book as Eugene sits beside me now. 

Oh gosh. 

I flip my book close awkwardly, Lydia chuckles at my actions. I pull up my right hoodie sleeve, causing my pencil to fall.

My father was right, I am clumsy. 

I bend down to pick up, "oops." Me and Eugene's hand touch. I look up at him, our lips almost touch. "Sorry." I apologize, picking up the pencil. 

"Oh hey, how are your knees?" He asks, "yeah, it's recovering well.. I guess." I mumbled the last part. Why am I so awkward?

"That's good." He smiles. 

How can he be a jerk? His smile melted my heart. 

Ugh, what's wrong with me. 

;

The class finally finished, Lydia squeals excitedly. "You guys almost kiss, holy crap." She says, holding her book to her chest. 

Then she stops walking, "what?" I look at what she is looking. "Nothing, it's nothing." She pulls away, but I can't stop looking back at this girl with Eugene. 

Her hand on his chest. 

"That girl is pretty." I say when we step into math class, "yeah, but you're prettier." She says. "I'm ugly and fat." I pointed out. 

"No, you're fabulous." She snaps at me, frowning. "I told you he wasn't worth it." Casey says to me when we sat down at our table. 

"Yeah whatever." I muttered. 

During math class, I just couldn't stop thinking about him. The eye contacts, the pencil, everything. And i got detention for day dreaming in class. 

After I say goodbye to Lydia, I make my way into the detention room. "Hey!" My friend, Ed smiles at me. Then I spotted Eugene at the second row. "Come sit here." Ed says, pulling a chair out right next to Eugene. 

"How come you got detention?" Ed asks, when I took my seat. "Daydreaming in class." I replied, knowing it sounds ridiculous. 

Ed laughs and I swear, Eugene smiled. "What were you daydreaming about?" Ed asks. 

Eugene Hunter. 

"I was just thinking about Track And Field." I lied, but then it's true because I was wondering if the basketball team will join us for training today. 

"Oh yeah, you can run now." Ed says, "yeah, I'm trying to make my way to the nationals." I muttered, shyly.

"Aw, that's nice." Ed says, poking my cheeks. "Good to know that you're representing our school, our school sucks." Ed says.

What Ed said is true, our school has a really bad reputation for being bad. Smoking and fights. What school with students doesn't do that?

"But the track and field team only have boys.." Eugene mumbles.

Is he talking to me?

"Uh, I'm in the boys team." I say, "that sounds ridiculous." That didn't come out of Eugene's mouth. It came from Sam Parker. He's a jerk, I know him since elementary school.

A school prankster too. 

"I don't think it's ridiculous. It's actually kinda of cool." Eugene says, and i felt odd. My heart is pounding, I could feel my cheeks heating up a little. 

"Hey, no talking!" The discipline master steps in.

I took out my book, I flip to the page where I stopped. But then there's words on it. I then close the book and took out another book, I look around if anyone saw what it was written. 

Looks like I'm going through the biology book. I flip to the first page and took out my notebook, since there is a test tomorrow, might as well study for it.

Usually I don't study, I like winging it. 

I put my hand over the words that was written by other people. 

I could feel eyes on me, ugh.
