Chapter 5: Valentine's Day

Two weeks had past since the last incident with me and mother. I was surprised she let me stay home the next couple of days but it was probably because she didn't want anyone to see the bruise marks she placed onto my body. What a caring mother she is...... Anyway, after that, things pretty much went back to the way it was: Me being her daughter slave of course. I hope she chokes on the breakfast I made her this morning, what an ass-wipe of a mother. Plus to make it even worse, today's.... Valentine's Day, ugh. I hate Valentine's Day, it's such a useless day that doesn't need to need to exist. And as I was thinking this I was suddenly snapped back to earth.

"Helloooo, earth to Katy the nerd" Jacob whispered snapping his fingers in my face.

"Huh-What?......Huh!"" I stammered as I was looking around confused. Ugh it's Jacob... what the heck does he want now?. "What do you want Jacob?" I asked with an uninterested look on my face.

"Oh... nothing, you were just staring into space and it was creeping me out so....."

"Oh shut up Jacob, if it's creeping you out so much then don't look at me!" I interjected while rolling my eyes. "I was just thinking about something, and people do it all the time! Besides it's not like Mr. Murrey is teaching anything" I pointed out while aiming my hand at Mr. Murrey with his head on the desk.

"Oh, is that so?..... Perhaps you were thinking about me?" He asked with a stupid smile on his face.

"Yeah..... right!, like I would ever think about you. I was just thinking about how stupid Valentine's Day is" I responded, trying to back up for myself. That was all I could tell him I mean, there was no way in hell I was gonna tell him about my mother.

"You think Valentine's Day is stupid?" He questioned with a disappointed look on his face. Why the heck is he asking me all this anyway? I just simply replied back and told him yes and that it was a day that didn't need to exist.

"Why not? What did Valentine's Day ever do to you?" He inquired.

"Nothing it's just that..... if you really love someone.. you wouldn't wait until one stupid day shows up just to show them how much you love them.... and you wouldn't do anything to hurt them or abandon them either" I was referring to my mother and father but I was going off topic so I added "Plus I hate public affection so it just makes me hate it even more."

"Oh, I see.... but the main reason is probably because no one gives you anything on Valentine's Day... am I right?" He proclaimed with a smirk. What a bag of shit!.... But he isn't completely wrong though... no one ever gives me anything on Valentine's Day, but it's not like I want anything anyway! I thought to myself while pouting.

He chuckled. "So I was right huh? You know, maybe if you exposed a little more of your body, and pulled up your skirt a little more.... guys would actually look at you."

"Why? So I can look like Lucy; so I can look like a slut? No thank you! I'd rather have my whole body covered and have no guys look at me... then dress half naked and be known as the school slut." I protested.

"Oooh good comeback, and I guess you are a little right on that. I sorta like you just the way you are right now.... a nerd." Huh? Was that a compliment or was he just being a dick again?... I really don't know how to respond to that.

"Uh.... thanks I guess?"

"Yeah, anytime bookworm!" He snickered whilst patting me on the head. He just ruined the compliment. And why the heck is he patting me on my head! I'm not some pet ya know!
