Chase Away The Clouds (girlxgirl)

"And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think they'd understand"

"Tori"

As soon as I realized that the bus had reached my destination I jumped out of it and hurried to school. I was late for my first class of the day. Not that I really cared. School was just a place I had to attend. Nothing more. I honestly couldn't care less. English was the only subject I was ever interested in, kinda. Up until now our teacher was an old guy who would constantly prepare quizes for us instead of actually teaching. I didn't get it. There was so much we could talk about. So much poetry to analyze.

Poetry, probably my biggest passion. My classmates were morons unable of understanding its beauty but I knew better. I was so relieved when i learnt that we were going to get a substitute teacher. I thought maybe, just maybe this one would be better.

I entered the school and made my way to my locker. I quicky opened my diary to have one last glance at the poem I wrote on the bus today. It needed a little more work to it but was pretty much complete.

"Victoria...", I heard a familiar voice from behind me.

I closed my diary and shoved it into my locker afraid of what could be revealed.

"Leave me alone Christopher" I said in a hushed manner.

Chris was one of the priveleged of this school. He was on a soccer team what basically guaranteed him a place in the group of "fame". People who loved making fun of the ones like me. Nerds, freaks, excluded. During the first week of the year they made a bet saying that by the end of the month he will have slept with me. Guess it's safe to say he failed miserably. Gotta admit though, he had patience.

"Come on Tori, they still talk about it. What am I supposed to do?" He asked.

"Just tell them it's impossible, it's been two months, nothing's gonna change now."

"They're not as understanding as you are..."

"Then stop hanging out with them, it's as simple as that."

"No, you don't get it, I can't." He said.

"Why?" I asked curiously but he just looked at me as if I was talking nonsense.

"I just can't" I opened my mouth but he was already on his way to... wherever he was going.

Our relationship was complicated. I used to despise him but as we continued to get to know each other I realized he was actually more than just a soccer player with a pretty face. He was stuck with his so called friends who constantly challenged him, wanted him to prove his loyalty. Ending that toxic relation would destroy his high school career so he played it safe. I couldn't blame him, really. He was just another kid trying to survive.

So math is out of the equation for today, I thought looking down at my watch. I opened my locker once again to grab my headphones. I still had some time before second period would start so I decided to clear my thoughts and listen to some music. I sat on the ground and put my back against the lockers. I hardly ever got to enjoy a moment like this at school. I felt peaceful. I put the headphones on and played one of my favourite songs:

"And I don't want the world to see me"

"'Cause I don't think that they'd understand"

"When everything's made to be broken"

"I just want you to know who I am"

I knew it was going to be a long day, I was prepared for it. However at this very moment thanks to the music I wasn't thinking of anything that was to come...
