as i lead zach inside the high school, we make it through the halls as quick as i could and opened the door to the classroom, the class and the teacher standing in front of the chalkboard on the other side. the teacher clears her throat and eyes me in a serious, more in like a mad sense, and then looked at zach, suddenly confused.

"h-he's a new kid in our school, ms.tilly." i say as zach's eyes widen a bit. "why does he not have his stuff?" the instructor asks, walking up to us and closing the door. "erm, he didn't bring his stuff, he mistakenly forgot."

"alright. whoever you are, you can sit next to the blue eyed boy over there. jessica, you're gonna have to find a new seat. youre utterly disappointing and you talk to daniel too much anyway." she points to where he has to sit with her chalk stick and then turns around, facing the opposite way from me. everyone in the class all snicker as she turns around again and sees that i'm not walking to find a new seat, immediately giving me an annoyed expression.

zach began to walk uncomfortably to the back of the room where daniel is. as he made his way there, i immediately notice that they both turn their heads towards me, as i started to get angry. not because of zach and that he gets my seat, but the teacher. she can't just kick me out of my seat and expose me like that.

the atmosphere in the room starts to get warmer as the inside of me does as well, unexpectedly receiving this attitude from her. i wanted to slap her in the face, i want to teach her a lesson and tell her to not treat me like that but i left her alone, she'll hate me more anyway.

as i was stuck being in the smack middle of the classroom, i dropped my bag to the floor and sit quite slouched, putting the palms of my hands to my cheeks. i grab a pencil from my bag and continued class like i'm supposed to, not interrupting the environment.

as the middle of class came near, we were assigned to be doing an independent task, which we started doing so. ms.tilly sat comfortably in her wheelchair and turned to face her board, away from us. i look back up at her and scoffed, still pretty pissed off at her.

i try to calm myself down, telling myself that i'm going to get to my locker in a bit, glad that i put some watermelon sour patch kids in. but every time i think of it, i immediately start to get thoroughly impatient. i got more and more hungry. i need the candy.

i look up from my desk and to the front of the room, seeing the clock sitting at 10:55 am. class ends at 11 which is pretty soon but i can't last another minute without it.

just let me out to get. the. freaking. candy.

i put my head down on my desk, clearly done with today. i want to get out of here, and quick. i dont even want to interect with tori anymore, either. i need to get through those double doors without anyone noticing.

my head is still set down on my desk, peacefully quiet around me. a couple moments later of thinking, the bell rang, causing me to shoot up and run out. i darted to my locker, i'm couple feet away but saw jack right there, near the set of lockers.

damnit.

i decided not to go near him and just shoot out the doors of the school.

i cant get near him, not even a chance.

once i ran out the glass doors, i hear faint noises behind me as if someone was following me. i snap my head to look behind me and surprisingly saw jack. "jessica! hold on, i need to talk to you!"

i don't hesitate, i instantly run faster, an attempt to be by myself and calm down. if you haven't noticed, i'm usually impatient and grouchy all the time. i keep on moving my feet until i heard jacks footsteps fade away, only the trees around me shuffling as the wind goes by and the leaves falling beside me are heard.
