The Happiness Of Tragedy

Chapter 75

I had been thinking about what my friends said last night, this morning.

Maybe they were right, about everything. I was pushing Levi away after what he'd done, I was being selfish for not calling him and now I've payed the price because he's gone for good and will probably never be back. Who the hell am I kidding, they aren't right.

I know the mistakes I've made in my pass and the outcome of them has left me in a state of mind where I'll probably never be able to see the one I claimed to love.

Love

I loved Levi, I still loved him. I do love him. Of all the things I was sure about in my life, that's the one thing I've been sure about since the first day I said it to him. I love Levi Price and even though it may not seem like it I really do. I should've been called him and maybe he would've came back, maybe. Theres always the maybe. But there is one thing that I know for sure wasn't a maybe for me and that was what my friends told me. They had exposed how they truly felt and right now I wanted nothing more than to avoid them even as I still loved them too.

This morning I had gotten out of bed, Violet wasn't in the room. I was thankful because anything she had to say right now was not worth my time, at least not yet. They needed a break and so did I.

I gotten dressed, did my hair and headed out the door to classes. My bag was finally light and the weight off my back made me feel a little better at the moment, I went into the cafe to grab some coffee my first insist was to head for the door out to the courtyard and to the table. When I did, I stopped at the door letting people walk pass me going back and forth. The table was completely empty and I laughed lightly to myself before I turned to head to class early.

That was this morning...

"So I hope everyone enjoyed their time over break, I know I did and if any of you wanted to know no I did not receive any gifts from you lovely students" Mr Wright announced to the class.

A fit of laughter came from the back of the room.

He moves smoothly across the front of the room, I keep my eyes forward not wanting to take a look over at Violet at all even as I feel her eyes on me everytime someone reacts in the class.

"And I didn't plan on giving work to anyone all week but since Mr Welch and Ms Ketin thinks my invisible gifts are funny, let's clap for them" he sends them an evil smile and the class begins to clap for them. I shake my head.

"What?" The girl says aloud.

"You'll be the ones to get some extra work done for me by the end of the week" he tells them before he removes his hands from his pockets and begins to write on the board.

"Well that's just great" the guy says.

Someone kicks the back of my chair and I give off a small bit of laughter.

"Next topic is," he begins to drag the marker across the board, "microbiology" he closes the marker and turns to the class.

"We've gotten a couple bio people in here I know" his eyes scan the class and they land on mine for a second.

I grab my notebook from my bag and open it to write down the topic.

"Alright, now" he begins to pace the class front again, "anyone know of some microorganisms that would be living among us right now? Right here? In the ocean or the deepest parts of the earth?"

I don't raise my hand even as I know the answer, I'd wait till he called on me if he did.

"Anna" I turn to see the girl he's called on. She had dark hair and she wore glasses.
