Him

Chapter 9

I sat at lunch, waiting for at least one of my late ass friends.

"Hey" ash sits in front of my and plops his head on the table.

I laugh "you good?"

"No"

"Why? And where's ray" I look around and spot ray on another table, my smile drops.

He was with a girl, I frown even more confused.

My head snaps back to ash "speak now".

he looks up with puppy eyes "we had a fight"

I sigh in relief "oh thank god I thought you guys broke up, well at least you'll have some time for me now" I smiled sarcastically as a joke.

"Oh my lord Selene god forbids I get married to him" he sasses.

"God forgive you"

We both burst out laughing like maniacs.

"Where's Shelly?" Ash asks with a mouth full of spaghetti.

"She has to take a science quiz she missed when her car broke down" I take a bite of my very juicy apple.

"How about you? How's mr.anderson" the way he says his name made me smile.

"It's...fine I guess"

"Is that it.." he teases "when should I expect my niece and nephews Babygirl"

My eyes open wide in shock "you're too much ash"
I whisper yelled.

I sat there in confusion, it was supposed to be maths right now but we were with the English teacher as a free period.

She said that he had grade the papers for last week so he told her to take over his class for today.

I looked down at my hand as the whole room was in another world and I was in another, because I knew he had no more papers left to grade, he finished them last Thursday while he was tutoring me and new papers were handed out on this week Wednesday but it was only Monday.

I tried to brush it off my mind, 'Maybe he was tired or Maybe he did actually have papers to grade'

I relax my nerves 'you see him after school, it's fine' I thought.

-

I looked at my watch, it had been exactly 11 minutes since I've been sitting in this class alone, like a fool waiting for him to show up.

'Relax, he'lol be here any second now'

I sat straight, my eyes were trying hard to not fall shut.

My head felt so heavy so I rest on the table, I was so tired but I wanted to stay, I wanted to give him the benefit of doubt.

I closed my eyes, I know he'll be here any moment.

-

A ring shrieks me up, I was still in the class but it was a little darker now, I immediately check my watch 6:37pm.

School ended at 4pm so I've been here for a good three hours.

I don't bother grabbing my books as I turn to leave, still a little dazed from the little nap but the shock was making my heart race.

The fresh air hits me as i push the doors open, I started to walk towards the gates feeling a mix confusion and anxiety but I What I saw next made me stop dead on my way.

His car.

I frowned.

It was still here in the parking lot, I turn to the school.

'He was still here but he didn't show up, not once in the three hours'

I felt a mixture of feelings I was too well known with anxiety, anger and self loath.

'Why did I think he cared' I turn to the streets and start walking away from the harsh reality.

I felt tears but I didn't stop them, I felt like a fool.

'It was my fault for thinking about him like that' I more angry at myself than him 'it was my fault'

I wipe my tears as I see the yellow bus standing at the bus stop, jogging towards it quickly since it was almost about to leave, I quickly take a seat at the back leaning against the cold glass, I didn't stop the remaining tears and luckily the bus was almost empty so no had to witness my little breakdown.

-

It was exactly like what happened on Monday, he didn't show up for the last two days and today being the third and this time I saved myself the embarrassment and decided to not go to the tutions.

I walked into the class, mentally exhausted and in no mood too deal with any human contact.

"You look like you just died and came back to life" ray snickers behind me and shelly joins him.

"I didn't have a good sleep last night" I made up the same lame excuse hopefully he won't catch the lie.

"You know you suck ass at lying" he caught on quicker than I expected, but his snarky comment made me smile.

"Aww there that beautiful smile" Shelly interrupts with a laugh.

I slowly chuckle "y'all are too much for me"

"You still love us" ray comments.

Before I could answer the science teacher mrs.kelly enters.
