Unnoticed

Chapter 7

We get outside science after walking up possibly the most steepest hill of stairs in the world. There are some other kids waiting for our science teacher. She must have been outside on duty.
"Wonder if anyone we know will be in our class." I say.
"Well I hope Miley is." Emma laughs.

While waiting we sneakily hide our phones behind our blazers and play on them. I also text mum to see how she is because we haven't spoke in a while. I'm thinking of moving in with her soon. To be honest I have also thought about foster care a lot too. I mean if I did then I would be able to restart my whole life, forget about the past and have a clean slate. A new identity where I could be whoever I want to be and not hide.

"Hello my little flower pots. " says Miss Kendall's cheery voice from behind.
"Hi Miss." I reply shoving my phone into my inside pocket.
Today shes wearing one of her colourful dresses and her signature thin cardigans, which actually makes her look younger.

Unlocking the door with her jangly keys she pulls a chair up against it keeping it open.
"Line up." She sings.
" OK so, as you all know some of you are moving classes whoever's is staying, well we will have other students joining us. So go in and take a seat and i'l do the resister and tell you individually if you are going and where." She says practically all in one breath.
We all walk in and take our usual seats, me and Emma across the way from each other.
She then starts reading out the register telling some of us that we will be in other rooms, she gets to Emma and says she isn't staying. Then finally she gets to me and says I'm staying, making Emma and I pout childishly.
About 5 others are going too.

Emma leaves saying see you and we wait for the other kids to come.

Then we hear chattering and then in walks other kids from our year.
I see a few, most I don't recognise.
I suddenly feel a weird feeling and my heart is beating. Mainly because I see Jack walk in with such, confident gorgeous movements while he runs his tan hand through his brown hair. Which makes his arms flex a little and my hands go all sweaty.
Omg' I'm being creepy!!!
"I shouldn't be staring at another girls boyfriend." I think quickly while he sits down. "Just frickin' ignore him!" I silently curse to myself.
Then 5 minutes later to my horror in walks Jake, aww shit!
"Hey Miss... whoever you are, soz' I'm late."
"Jake isn't it? heard a lot about you, hmm be keepin' my eyes open round here."
He just smiles back, one of those we will see i'm a lot of trouble smiles.
He then looks around and his eyes stop on me.
"Well well well this is going to be fun." I hear him mutter. Taking Emma's old seat.

"Jack are you chewing?" Asks our teacher.
"No Miss, so what if I was?"
"Gum is banned, go and get rid of it." She points to the bin.
Then Jake looks at me and shows hes also chewing but then pats his nose as if to say shut it.
I turn and look at Jack as he smiles and then walks past towards the bin to spit it out, and a warm sweet aroma washes through the classroom.
My face burns and my small palms go all clammy-like and unconsciously my eyes never leave him.
Surprisingly as he turns back around his eyes make contact with mine!

The lesson goes on and Jake and Jack are messing around. Not with each other of course, can you imagine how bad that would be.
Jake keeps prodding me in the shoulder and picking up my pencil case since he sits on the same row as me thing is hes on the other end so how he can reach is far beyond me. Jack's messing around with Jenny. Whispering in her ear but then Miss Kendall moves him earning a satisfying frown off of Jenny. He moves a row forward in a huff, rolling his eyes. Which is a row behind me and he sits on one of the left seats. I'm not sure but I think I catch his eye for the most tiniest microscopic second making butterflies rise in my belly! Jake then pulls on my hair. "Stop it" i hiss.

"Awww, ummmmm..." he says as if in deep thought "Kay' I'l stop" He says all serious-like. A literal second goes past. "For now" he adds annoyingly his hot breath in my ear "I guess we always got detention to annoy you." he smirks at me, His eyes twinkling in the near evening sunshine that glistens through the smudged windows.
Finally the last detention with him and then my life will return back to its standard state! I cheer in silence fist bumping the air in my mind. He prods me again. I glare at him "Just stop I'm trying to concentrate!" I say a little too loudly. "Or what?" he smiles. He knows he is pissing me off. "Ughhhh or I'l, I'l..."

"Are you finished Jake, Hanna? I know you already have after school confinements with Miss Pool. Are you really sure you want to earn more?" "No" I answer the exact same time that Jake replies"Yes"

He stopped after that thankfully. Then the lesson officially ends and people start leaving. I hurry out into the hall shoving random bits and bobs into my bag to meet Emma outside her new science classroom.
Shes walking out with Miley and stops outside waiting for me. I can tell its Miley shes with because Miley is wearing her signature Maroon coloured beanie over her short dark boy cut hair.

"Hey." I call to them.
"Hi" they both chirp.

The end of the day finally comes. I get a text back from mum " Hi I'm okay hun how are you?" "I'm fine I reply x" Then 10 minutes later the detention bell rings. I get ready to go to Miss Pools room for my FINAL detention. "squeeeeeeee" or shall I say I think its the final one!
