Confessions

Chapter 26

I am frozen in my foot steps. Who the hell is this man?

"Oh um hello?" The man ask confused.
"Hi?" I ask in the same tone.
"Richard are you ready to-" my mom starts speaking as she walks in.
"Oh, um hi sweetie." She says nervously. She is already dressed and has suite cases behind her. What the fuck? "Oh um sweetie, this is Richard, Richard this is my daughter Maddie." She smiles.
"Hi love, he says shaking my hand.
I give him a uncomfortable smile. "Well sweetie Richard is has invited me to go some where with him and I'm going to be gone for a week." She tells me.
What?
"Um ok?" I say confused.
"Well do you mind?" She questions.
"No, I guess not." I tell her.
"Well um we're going to leave now so I will see you in a week." She says kissing my forehead. And with that she is out the door. Ok it's not even 8:00 am yet and I have a headache.
I walk up stairs get ready for school and text matt. In about 5 minutes later he is outside waiting for me. I walk out side the door and get in his car. "Good morning." He says kissing me on the cheek. "Hi." I say with no emotion. "What's a matter?" He asks worried.
"I'm just tired." I explain.
Oh nothing it's not like I just found out I have a stepfather or anything and my mom has probably been lieing about going to work. But ya know no problem at all. "Well if you want to talk about it, I'm here." He says placing his hand on my thigh. I smile at him. We head to school and in about 5 min we arrive. Matt and I walk out and he grabs my arm. "So what lunch do you have today?" He asks. "Um I think 2." I answer. "Ok look for me and ill sit with you." He tells me. "Ok." I smile. "I have math right now so ill see you later, he says kissing my cheek. "Ok." I smile with my cheeks heating up. I don't know why I do that it's just something about matt that makes my stomach flutter.
I walk to Art and I hear a bunch of giggles behind me. I turn around and they stop laughing at me. But once I turn around they start laughing. I turn around. "Is there something I can help you with?" I ask rudely. "Oh nothing." She snarls. "No I want to know." I press. "Oh nothing, I just think it's funny that you think Matthew likes you." The blonde snarls again. "What are you talking about?" I say getting angry. They just laugh and walk past me. What do they mean he doesn't like me? Of course he likes me. He loves me. Right? I already don't like this day.
I walk into math and sit down. And a boy sits next to me. "Hi." He says with a smile. "Hello." I reply. "Alright class today we are going to be watching a film." Mrs.gallio announces. Everyone cheers. "But you will have to do a paper on it after." She adds. Everyone groans. She starts the film and turns off the light. The boy who is sitting next me turns his chair so he can see the screen. He turns his head and is starring at me. I try not to Notice and continue watching the film, when all of a sudden I feel his hand brush my hand. I move away my hand. "Sorry I didn't mean to touch your hand he whispers. "It's fine." I assure him. During the entire film, he kept touching me. Again I try not to pay attention to it. Then his hand moved to my lower back, and then that set me off. "Can you stop touching me?!" I whisper/yell. "Sorry just trying to have fun." He smirks. "Well stop." I stand my ground. I move my seat away form him but he keeps moving closer. "Excuse me?" I ask the teacher. "Yes?" She asks.
"Can I use the rest room?" I ask. "Sure." She says. I grab my bag and head to the girls bathroom. I sit there in front of the mirror trying to breath and then exit. As I'm walking I am stopped by the boy that was sitting next to me. "Hey there." He smirks. "Get away from me." I spit. "What are you going to do about it?" He asks walking closer to me. "I..I- "You don't know what to do, do you?" He says cornering me. I bump into a Locker, and he puts his arm on the other side of the locker so he is towering over me and I can't escape. "Don't touch me." I say. "I just want to play." He laughs. "I have a boyfriend." I tell him. "And
I have a girlfriend, what's the difference?" He says getting closer. "Stop!" I shout. "Stop what?" He laughs leaving no space between us, he takes his hand and starts rubbing my thigh. "Don't touch me!" I shout. "Feisty, I like that." He smirks. "Get away from me or ill-" he cuts me off by covering my mouth with his hand. "Don't shout, all I want to do is have fun." He takes my hand and starts dragging my to the closet." "No!" I shout. And start kicking. "Leave me alone!" I shout again. When I turn around I feel a sharp pain in my face. He slapped me. "If you don't shut up I will do worse." He growls. "No stop!" I shout. He keeps dragging my but I keep fighting. "Let go of me!" I yell again. When all of a sudden I see some one come running and punching the guy in the face pinning him on the ground. "Don't ever touch her again!" He yells. "Got it!" The other boy nods his head in fear and walks away. I take a glance at the boys face. Robert? "Robert, oh my gosh I didn't even know that was you." I say. "Thank you so much." I say hugging him tightly. "You have been saving me from a lot of things lately. I laugh. "I know right." He laughs back. "Are you alright?" He asks. "You got hit pretty bad." He says feeling my face. "Yea I am." I assure him. "Why are you here? Not that I don't want you here it's just I thought you didn't go to this school." I ask. "Well since we were visiting, my mum really liked it hear, and we don't have much back in Canada so she wanted to move here." He smiles. "That's great!" I praise him. "Yea well I better get to class." He tells me. "Are you sure your alright?" He asks. "Yes I am thank you. I smile. "Ok." He smiles. "Ill see you later." He huggs me which catches me off guard but I don't mind. "Oh sorry I didn't- " no no it's fine." I assure him. "Ok." He smiles again. He walks away and so do I.
