The Heartache He Gives

Chapter 2

(Unedited)

With Nathan's statement holding nothing but truth, the students starts piling in, the room growing less spacious with every person joining the class

I keep my head down, not wanting to interact with anybody it's not like they want to talk to the "new girl" anyways

The sound of the door closing let's me know that class is actually about to begin , and the voice sounding within the walls add onto that theory

"All right class let's continue where we left off last Friday" I look up at who I'm assuming is the teacher due to his set of instruction,he seems to be in his mid-thirties, blonde , very short hair, a snub nose, and a light stubble

Since everyone's attention is set on him I take this as my time to look over the students, it's not as full as I thought it was, a few desks are empty waiting to be filled, I concluded that it'd be best if I sit in the back, that way he wouldn't recognize a new student and force me to introduce myself

"Take your text books out and continue to read pages 22-25, page 26 will consist of questions in which you will answer" that's all he says before grabbing a huge pile of papers and sitting down, his eyes slowly traveling down each paper he holds before him his own marking it from time to time

I'm sat confused as to what text book he's talking about, but I also don't want to disturb him from what he's doing and that also goes for the rest of the students

"Here" a voice calls out from beside me which I give my full attention to, a girl with shoulder-length chestnut hair and amber eyes look back at me..she's really pretty

"Th-Thank you" I say and grab the book from her hand

"I'm Sarah, you must be Lilian" she says and I'm left confused again on how she knows my name

"Word travels fast around here" she answers my thoughts

"Oh." I plainly say

"Yeah, if you don't mind me asking but are you a junior or senior?" She questions, isn't this class only for juniors? I wouldn't know but my old school only gave certain classes to certain grades

I have so many questions

"I'm a ju-junior" I reply and look down when I receive a few glances from a few students sitting near us

"Don't mind them, they're just nosy little pricks" she seethes out through her clenched teeth

"What!?" She almost yells , the teacher having no clue of her light outburst but the students then look away irritation settled onto their faces

"They never know how to mind their own business I swear, high school will be the death of me before I can even make it out" her fist press together into a ball and I quietly laugh, I like her

"Anyways, I'm Sarah Cruz" She says and gives me a toothy smile which I give back

"P-Penelope Ivy" I tell her my last names since she already knows my first

"You're really pretty, just thought I'd let you know" my cheeks burn up at the compliment not used to it at all being that it's the first one I've ever received from a person I don't know

"Th-Thank you, you ar-are too" I thought it'd be best if I send her one back, it's not like I was lying

"Why thank you too" she says

"Sarah zip it now or you will get all of that extra work you have been trying to poorly avoid doing" Mr.Roderick voice seeps out from the front of the classroom, his eyes set on Sarah who mindlessly rolls her eyes and throws her head back with a groan
