i whipped my head, only to feel my head bump into a hard chest. "OW! what the fuck?" i looked up and saw kenneth smirking down at me, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. he ran his and through his hair, and took a step closer to me. my breath hitched in response. i bit my lip and looked down on my feet. "please stop making me blush," i muttered under my breath.

i felt a hand lift my chin up, only to find brown orbs staring into my hazel ones. "looks like we're always bumping into each other, jeanne." he put his hand down, but his eyes never left mine. i chuckled nervously.

"yeah, you're right." i gave him an awkward smile. i guess he understood how uncomfortable i was feeling, because he looked away and sighed. i looked down at my feet again and began to walk to my next class, science. kenneth, i thought, your smirk will truly be the death of me.

i tried my absolute best to focus in class, but my mind kept thinking about kenneth. the skin on my chin seemed to send me chills throughout my body. "he touched me," i thought.  this boy had so much effect on me, and i only met him two days ago. what the hell is wrong with me?

the same girl who was sitting next to kenneth in english was actually in my science class. she kept staring at me, but sent me smiles. it was apparent that they were fake. i honestly didn't get why she was basically staring daggers at me because i haven't done anything wrong. i chose to ignore it, and focused on the lesson.

after class, maya (i found her name out when the teacher took attendance) came up to me with a scowl look on her face. she marched up to me with her fists clenched, and her teeth grinding.  what the hell did i do? and what the heck was her problem? i know i wasn't a beautiful caucasian girl, with nice blue eyes, and beautiful hair, but did she really need to be mad at the new girl? she stopped in front of me, and rolled her eyes.

"can you please stop talking to my kenny? maybe you didn't know since you seem to be new here, but kenneth is MY boyfriend. ken's just too nice which is probably why he's befriending you at the moment, but once you have your own little group, he'll stop talking to you." she flipped her hair, smirked, then sashayed the other direction.

i was so mad. not even mad, i was furious. how dare she just come up to me and talk to me like that? and about kenneth? i don't know how, but her taunting sparked some confidence in me. i took a deep breath, and let my words of anger roll out. 

"y'know, if you want your boyfriend to stop talking to me, tell him that yourself. and honestly, if you are that insecure over your man doing a POLITE thing and letting me become his friend, then i don't think you're fit for a relationship in the first place!" i yelled at her. she turned around, scoffed, and glared at me for a moment. i narrowed my eyes, and glared back at her. two can play at this game, sister. she huffed and rolled her eyes, and began to walk again.

i turned around and smiled, hoping i wouldn't trip after just making maya go silent.
