Ch. 3 Stop Avoiding Me

Darren has been ignoring me ever since Monday and it has been a month now. A whole freaking month! I was now in Homeroom where Darren sat next to me. Throughout the class I kept sneaking glances at him. Why was he ignoring me? I should be the one ignoring him! I sneaked my glances until I couldn't take it anymore. I ripped a page out of my notebook and wrote:

Darren, why are you ignoring me?!

I crumpled it and threw it on his desk and watched as he uncrumpled the paper. He took like 3-5 seconds to read it. He scoffed, crumpled it and threw it across the room. I watched as it landed perfectly in the trash can. 1. Whoa! 2. Why is he being a bigger jerk than usual?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I threw him the note and he just threw it across the room. It actually landed in the trash can!" I said to Nicole and Janie. "Wait it actually landed in it?!" Asked Nicole. I slapped her arm playfully. "Nicole it's not about his amazing aiming skills it's about him ignoring me." I said. "Okay, maybe he has his period?" Nicole asked. Now it was Janie's turn to slap Nicole's arm.

"Nicole can you please stop acting like the dumb ass you are and act normal for a change?!" Janie yelled. "I can't, I'm special!" Nicole replied. Yup, these are my friends... "Guys lets leave your 'specialness' out of this!" I said stopping them in the middle of their bickering. "Okay," Janie said "what did you guys last talk about?" I blushed remembering what happened on Monday.

I saw Nicole lean closer to Janie and murmured "You see the blush too, right?" I chuckled and said "Well, the last thing he told me was to tell my boyfriend that I had a 'nice ass'." "YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THI-" Nicole started before I cut her off. "Nicole, I don't have a boyfriend." I sighed. "So why does he think that?" Asked Janie. I bit the inside of my cheek and asked "Weeellll, remember how I wasn't here on Monday?"

They said their hmms and I continued to tell them my story. "Whoa, 1. Who jumps around in a thong and a bra?!" Janie said "2. You retard! Go to him and tell him it was just a joke." "1. ME! 2. Ok but later after lunch." I replied. .

It was now the end of the day and everyone was leaving.  I sighed, "It's now or never." I whispered to myself. I walked towards Darren who was now exiting campus doors. "Darren!" I yelled. He didn't reply and kept walking like nothing happened. "DARREN!" I said a little louder. Nothing. "DARREN SHIELDS!!" I yelled. Nope, zero, nothing, nada.

I jogged to catch up to him while adjusting my bag over my shoulder. I caught up to him just as he was opening his car door. I placed my hand on his shoulder and spun him around. "Did you not hear me?!" I snapped "I just ran after you through 7 hallways and tripped on 5 peop-" I started before he said, "I don't care what happened." Well at least his asshole side didn't leave. He was about to walk in the car when i stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"Tell me why you keep ignoring  me! Tell me why you didn't reply to my note?! Tell me why you turn every time you see me in the halls?! Tell me why me! Why do you only ignore me! Tell me!" I said. "Leave me alone Alejandra." He said. "Not until you tell me what's wrong." I replied. "You want to know what's wrong?" He asked stepping forward. I gulped but managed to keep myself from stepping backwards. "Yes." I whispered.

I looked at his green eyes that held anger and disappointment. Wait, disappointment? "You seriously don't know?" He asked. "I think I have an idea." I said with air quotes "is this about what happened that Monday, about my 'boyfriend'?" "Your 'boyfriend'?" He said emphasizing the air quotes. "Yeah, it was only a joke, which you took too seriously." I replied. "Whatever, but that's not why I'm mad." He said. "THEN TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS YOU PROBLEM!" I yelled getting mad that he just didn't spit it out.

"I THOUGH YOU WERE DIFFERENT ALEX BUT TURNS OUT YOU ARE THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER FUCKING GIRL IN THIS SCHOOL!" He screamed. "What?" I breathed out. "I'm pretty sure you heard me, now I need to go." He said getting into his car and driving away leaving me behind wondering what he meant. What does he mean. I'm the same as all the other girls in this school. WTF?!
