Little did they know

Chapter 2. Bending

Spring had past and soon Cathy could feel the warmth on her skin again.

"There's my pussy Cat."

Said a rough and manly voice behind her, some how it sounded familiar.
Soon the person behind her yanked on her shoulder forcing Cathy to face him.

"You never replied to my text."

The person whisper in Cathy's ear as she couldn't see their face because of how close they were.

"Wh- what?."

Cathy says barely.
She looked at her surroundings and the person had short brown hair and was taller then her.
Soon she push the man away from her and backed up fast.

The man standing in front of her seemed recognizable but somehow she couldn't put a name to the face.

"Pussy, why are you backing up?"

He says with a grin as he grabs her hand fast before she could run away.

"L- let me go! I don't know you!"

She said loudly as she tries to pull her arm away from him.

"You know your not being very nice to one of your old friends."

"My w- what?"

She asked as she look into his eyes, she then realized at that moment it was-

"It's Jasper, I'm surprised you forgot, I mean after everything.."

Jasper said being sarcastic but still sounding ruff.
The truth was she never forgot about him.

"Y- you grew up! It's not my fault I couldn't recognize you-"

"Yeah I grew up, I thought you would too."

He said cutting her off and let go of her arm before walking past her.

She was frozen, she couldn't move and only tears would fall down. She didn't even know why she was crying.
Yang and Elizabeth walked up to her soon after, she turn away from them and wipe away her tears as she put on a smile.

"Hi guys!"

Cathy says cheerfully and turn around fast.
They didn't seem to notice her, they we're carried away in their own conversation.

She shrunk down, turn around and walked away. She looked behind her just to see if they even cared but only Yang looked at Cathy, she looked back in front and walked faster to school.

Soon enough she was at school, loud voice could be hear all over.

'Once I was a loud voice too but now all I wanted to do was stay hidden..'

She thought as she opened her locker.

"Hey."

Said Yang from behind her.

'I didn't wanna face him, what if I hide myself inside my locker?'

"H- hi."

Cathy says shyly with a sheepish smile as Yang turns Cathy around to look at him.

"Why did you run away earlier?"

"Oh um, I- I was late for this um you know."

Cathy says chocking on her own words.

"Cathy you know your a bad lier right?"

"I know.."

She says as she looks at the floor.

'What was I supposed to say?'

"I know it's awkward now, well you know, sense Elizabeth and I are dating but don't be scared to interact with us, were like family."

Yang says as he pats Cathy's shoulder and walks away.

'It didn't feel like there was much space for me to fit in though.'

The time seemed to speed by, one more class and no more until summer was over.

"Where are you going Mr Hudson!?"

Screamed the teacher as Jasper was walking out of English class which was the last class Cathy had today.

He stood in front of her before walking past.
Cathy grabbed his hand and held it firmly.
He looked coldly behind his shoulder.

"Please, don't.."

Was all that would come out of Cathy's mouth.
He scoffed but let her lead him back into the English class.

Mr Williams wrote on the chalk board a piece of a famous poem.

"Stand up here and read it out loud Mr Hudson, then tell the whole class what the name of the poem is."

Said Mr Williams as he pulled a chair out from one of the desks and pointed to it.

Jasper already looked as if he'd kill Mr Williams in his sleep, now he looks as if he's considering actually doing it.

"I- I'll do it!"

Cathy said as she stood up.
