Our new year

C#7

During the weekend, she thought over the horrible memory that happened in the cafeteria. She was feeling guilty because she was very cold towards Keiran from the day they have met, she even insulted him in the school when he offered help to find her diary. The same boy helped her in need and saved her from the big humiliation in front of the school. He risked his own reputation just to help her when no one else stood up for her. She was feeling indebted to him and wanted to return the favor but didn't know how.

Her mind was a bit puzzled, at the moment, sometimes she would think about returning the favor and sometimes she thought there was no reason to return the favor. She didn't ask for his help.

 'But he punched Josh because of you.'

"Ugh, so annoying" She punched herself lightly on the forehead. These confusing thoughts were dying her nut. In annoyance, she picked up her phone from the bed and looked at the screen for few seconds.

"Hmm,"

'Should I text him goodnight?'

She quickly typed goodnight in the message but she erased it.

 'No, he would think I'm desperate to talk to him, and that's why I messaged him on Sunday night' 

She put the phone back on at her side table and decided to go to bed without giving it any more thought.

The next day, Belle was a bit nervous to go to school. She was afraid that the students would squeeze her to death.

'Okay, that was a bit too much. No one ever squeezed anyone to death.' Belle washed all the negative thoughts from her mind and walked towards her locker.

Students were looking at her and as expected they were whispering to each other but she didn't pay any attention to them, kept her head straight. During the day no one said a thing to her directly about the incident nor did anymore bullied her. Lizzie and her friends were nowhere around, which made her relaxed and calm throughout the day.

She was walking to her chemistry classroom. The class she had with Keiran. She, as usual, sat in the second row. After a minute or two she saw Keiran entered the classroom. He was smiling looking at his phone, texting someone. Deep down, Belle knew he was going to sit with her.

In that happened, Belle would get the chance to apologize to him for insulting him but to her surprise, Keiran just looked at her with a straight face and went to the back of the classroom.

Belle was disappointed but she quickly covered her disappointment, started reading her book. Even though she was reading the book but her mind was trying to solve the puzzle. She had no idea how to start a conversation with him.

'Should I stop him after class and say sorry? Or maybe I should message him or should I say it now?'

Her brain was filling with questions. She was over thinking about such a small thing because she never been in such a situation like this. This was the side effects of being an anti social. You don't know how to answer a simple question.

The school was over and Belle was quietly walking in the parking lot. She didn't say a word to Keiran through the day. She kept the same attitude as if nothing happened three days ago. It was a weird day, Keiran didn't come up to Belle and started chatting with her like he normally does.

Keiran was sitting inside his car, wondering that after everything that happened three days ago, how could Belle keep the same attitude? He punched a guy and she didn't even say a word after that. He didn't like it. The punching and everything, it was of no use. Their relationship status didn't improve at all.
