A Captain and Her Ship

Chapter 20: Class Writing Project

Chapter 20:  Class Writing Project

  

 

My whole body hurts; I could feel it throbbing with every step I take. That bastard had his joy ride on me. I had to wear make-up and put my hair down so I could hide all my love-bites. Most of them were on my chest and upper neck, so it wasn’t hard. 

The only thing bugging me is that he passed out before he could take my virginity. But instead of crawling from under him, I feel asleep, stupid I know.

But thankfully Ash was there, I was surprised. When he told me he was looking for me, Ash of all people was worried. Was shocking he didn’t get wasted and passed out next to the bar. I would have never though he would save me, even though I would have been fine.

I was close to getting that bastard away from me. It’s not like I was scared of anything, fear isn’t something that comes near me. But, I couldn’t help but feel utterly helpless under him. There was nothing I could do, nothing worked and he was enjoying it. Like a sick bastard from hell, he smirked, laughed and hit me.

He treated me like if I was an unbreakable toy, that not true, I bleed and have bruise from him. I would never go back to a bar, ever again. No matter how ‘safe’ anyone tells me it is. I rather be at home, then being raped for fun.

“Okay students! We are having a major grade project starting today.” Mr. Cliff announced eyeing every student in the room. 

Goody, I looked up and cupped my face with one of my hands. Stealing a glance at Jordan, as he was taking notes. What a nerd?!

“This project is for your creative writing. You would be assigned, a partner. And you two will make up a story, about anything you want. It can be supernatural, historical, or even mythical anything.”

Some of the students in the class, where aweing at the idea. I guess they liked it; some ever turned around and started choosing their partners.

“But.” The whole class turned their attention at Mr. Cliff and groaned. I knew there was a catch there’s always a catch with teachers. 

“It would have to have a beginning, middle and end. With a problem, and a solution along with dialogues by the characters of your story. Oh, and it must be 10 pages, no less.” he smirked.

“I’ll also be choosing your partners.” Every head in the class fell to their desk with a loud groan following it. 

“Bessie, you’re with Freddy.” 

I’m not surprised they’re both equally stupid. So they won’t be dragging someone down with them. Just themselves. 

“Kevin, you’re with Marie.”

They both hate each other, because they broke up. But they say there’s more to their relationship which no one knows off… It’s complicated my ass. 

“Emily, you’re with Carrie.”

Yep, were both best friends until Carrie took Emily’s boyfriend? Even thought she said they broke up she’s still jealous.

“Jessica, you’re with George.”

Her stalker, they totally deserve each other.

“Prue, you’re with Jordan.” 

Wait what!? I’m partners with Jordan, why were like two different people. I can’t be his partner, what would Oliver think. I have to tell him about this. I looked at Mr. Cliff’s grinning at me. I hope you go to hell, and burn I hissed to myself. Suddenly the bell rang, and I gathered all my stuff as I headed out the door. Until, someone pulled on the lace of my backpack, I turned around to see Jordan.

“What?” 

“Were partners!!!” he exclaimed, showing me his notes.

“Yeah, I know that. Can I go?”

“Wait.”

“What?!” I said irritated.

“Do you want to do the project at me house. I have a bunch of supplies we can use.”

Me going to his house, I rather not do the project at home because of my sister. But a girl and a guy in the same roof doesn’t sound right either? What would Olivier think; I couldn’t answer him unless I ask Olivier first. 

“I’ll think about, just met me at the entrance of the library. And I’ll tell you then” I sighed. 

“Okay.”

~0000000000000~ 

“Hey Olivier”. I was walking over to his locker, when he closed it. And gave me a smile.

“What’s up?” he exclaimed.

“There’s something I need to tell you.” I shifted uneasily, on my feet.

“What’s wrong?” He’s voice sounded concern, as he took a hold of my hands. 

“We’re doing a project, in Mr. Cliff’s class and I was partners up with Jordan.” 

He released my hands when he heard ‘partnered with Jordan.’ 

“And he asked if I wanted to go to his house to do the projected.” 

“Oh.” He said it with a disappointed tone, as he looked away from me.

“But I haven’t answered him, because I wanted to see if it was okay with you.” I finished, was this really bugging him that much.

Maybe I should have just told Mr. Cliff that I wasn’t comfortable with his choice. But then I would be partnered up with him again.  Just because he knows that I don’t want him as a partner. That teacher is truly wicked. 

“So are you okay with it?” I asked.

He hesitated before answering me, but he turned around slowly and gave me a fake smile. It was so forced that it looked awful... Something that wasn’t supposed to be there was on his lips making him smile. It was unsettling, but I had to shrug it off.

“Don’t worry about me some much.” he exclaimed, giving me hug.

But kept loosening his hold on me as his hand ran down my back. I wrapped my arms around him, and hugged him back. I didn’t like doing this, but this topic must be bugging him. I guess this hug, is a pity hug.

“Prue.” He whispered, as his arms tighten around me and his chin was on my shoulder.

“Yeah?” 

“Would you tell Jordan, that I said yes?”

And I smiled, not a smirk or a mischievous grin but smiled. It spread cross my face, and I couldn’t hide it. I was so happy, and Olivier he was able to say it. Without freaking out, he followed his heart. And I won’t let him down; if I do I couldn’t seem to face him. If a day like that came I could only kill myself with regret.
