The Secret Cancer Patient

Chapter 2

I wake up 3 hours not even realizing that I fell asleep with my headphones in I'm not mad though. I take my time to get ready today I don't want to go but I also want to see what today is gonna be like maybe it will be different. I decide to wear shorts and a kind of crop top since its so warm out I curl my hair and put it to the one side. I do my make and look in the mirror I don't look like those girls at school I'm not really tall and I'm not athletic well I'm not allowed to be either.  I wish I was allowed to play softball it's my favorite. I take one last glance and go downstairs to make food I still have an hour left so I guess I will read until its time to go.

Its finally time to go and I'm really not ready for it and apparently, my mom could tell

"what's wrong hunny don't you want to go? Do you not feel good? Do you want to go to the doctors? or do you want to drop.."

I cut her off. Mom, I'm fine did you remember to pack snacks for today as I asked you too I was up early enough to do it but I forgot too.

"yes I packed them for you they are in your bag" we pulled into the school and I get out the kid who sits behind me in English is in the car behind me I really didn't want to start my day by seeing him but it's my luck. He smiles and holds the door for me as we walk in I thank him and continue walking.

"Hey I'm sorry about my friends being assholes to you yesterday they do it to everyone that is new it's really stupid I know" I turn and look at him why is he talking to me he is part of the "cool kid" group? but all I could manage to say was 

"it's fine really don't worry about it."

Why would I say that I should tell him how I really feel but I just want to get to class. I turn and start walking away but that's not gonna stop him.

"what's your name I've never seen you around this school? my names matt by the way"

Oh so now he's friendly? "my name is Jessica Willson but everyone calls me Jess. and ya I'm new I lived here all my life but I have been homeschooled my moms a little overprotective. I live on Jackson street" Why am I telling him where I live? I'm so stupid why is he smiling? did I miss something?

"I live on Jackson street too how have I never seen you before?" he looks at me and I can't tell him I have cancer and I barely leave my room thankfully the bell rings and he smiles and walks away. Thank God.

My first class was boring history is my least favorite subject so far. I dissolve into my book its the 2nd day so thankfully there isn't much to talk about yet. I go into the hall and put my books into my locker when I see Matt with a group of his friends I give a half smile and grab my books I need for 2nd period when I turn around they are all around me. His entire friend group and they are all looking at me weird I try and walk away but the biggest one grabs me and slightly pushes me back. 

"Whoah where you going, I've never seen you around here before did you come from a different school," he asked

"or were you kicked out," one of the smaller ones asked everyone kept throwing questions at me I looked at Matt for the slightest bit of help and then realized he was doing it too.

"I'm going to be late to class. no, I didn't get kicked out my mom was overprotective so I wasn't allowed to go to school till now, now can I go to class" i walk between two of them and one knocks all of my books onto the floor. The late bell rung. Of course, i gather up my books and watch as they all walk away and try to get to class as fast as possible thankfully the teacher didn't care this time.

I can't believe Matt didn't even try to help I know we just met but he could have at least stopped them a tiny bit I can already tell him and I aren't going to get along.

Lunch comes and I'm still sitting by myself. I'm gonna be alone forever. Out of nowhere this girl comes and sits down.

"How have I never noticed you before, you are extremely pretty" I'm kinda shocked shes even talking to me let alone calling me pretty what am I supposed to do? 

"Oh ya I'm new I was homeschooled and wasn't allowed to go to public school till now". I look at her waiting to say something 

"Oh ok well, whats your snapchat and Instagram, by the way, my names Alex" I give her my snapchat and Instagram thankfully I don't have anything on there about me having cancer I really don't want anyone to know.

"ok well ill snapchat you later hah see ya" 

well, maybe today isn't so bad at least people are talking to me. I feel a tap on my shoulder and its Alex

"Mind if I sit with you actually," she says while looking at me with soft eyes

"ya here let me move my stuff thanks I really hate sitting by myself" why did I say that now she's  gonna feel bad for me

Matts pov

I keep replaying me and jess's conversation and I don't know why we didn't even talk for that long shes so nice though and she's so pretty but at the same time she just pulled me in with her blue eyes.

"Matt" I look up and see my history teacher staring at me 

"yes"

"are we bothering you by talking about what's going on here on earth" asshole its the second day and I zoned out leave me alone.

"sorry I zoned out won't happen again" me and him both know I'm lying I had him for history last year and he doesn't like me very much.

Next period is lunch I wonder if I should sit with Jess will she even want me too? I didn't even bother to help her when all the guys were messing with her now that I think about it why didn't I? She looked so scared they all ganged up on her. I ganged up on her. I really should have stopped the mand when I walked away she had hurt in her eyes but she doesn't even know me why would she be hurt? I better not sit with her.

I walk into lunch and see jess sitting with Alex oh no jess seems to pure to be with them but i can't do anything so I go sit down with the rest of the football team.
