JuJu's POV
I walked out of my first hour and walked towards my locker. I looked to my right and saw Matt at his locker. Surprisingly, his locker isn't too far from mine. I got my history books and walked to his locker.
I smiled and said, "Hey. Do you remember where to go?" He turned his head when he heard my voice and smiled, still getting the stuff out of his locker. I continued talking, "If not, I can walk with you." He smiles at me again and then closes his locker.
"I know where to go. But I wouldn't mind if you walked with me." I smiled and started walking beside him.
"So that kid, Jack Gilinsky," Matt started, "Is he new too? Because you looked kind of surprised to see him there." I stopped smiling at the mention of his name.
"Uh.. No he's not new but I was surprised because he switched classes. So, why'd you move here all the way from Virginia?" I asked, changing the subject.
"My mom got a really good paying job here, so, we moved." He said. I nodded my head and stepped into class.
I sat down in my regular spot next to Hannah. "Hey." I said.
She looked up from her phone and smiled. "Hey, how ya feelin'?" She asked, concerned.
"I haven't been picked on yet and I think I made a new friend, so, good I guess." I said.
"Really? Who?" She asked.
"The new kid Matt." I said pointing to him, he was at the teachers desk.
"Ooh he's cute. Do you like him?" She said, elbowing me and raising both her eyebrows twice.
"No! I just met him. He's really nice. He moved here from Virginia." She nodded.
The bell to start class finally rang and Matt was assigned to sit in the seat on the left of me in the 3rd row. I'm glad he sits close to me so we can talk. I looked at him and smiled and he did the same.
I turned my head back to the front of the room, then, the door opened. "Sorry, I couldn't find your class." Jack Gilinsky said, handing her a paper. The teacher looked at it and gave it back to him.
"Welcome to my class Mr.Gilinsky. You can sit next to Collin Harrison in the front row." She said pointing to where his desk was.
Dang it. He sits right in front of Hannah and I.
I tried to hide my face so he wouldn't see me. I looked up and saw that he nodded his head at Collin, of course, because they're friends. Then he looked at me and we made eye contact. He gave me a small smile and I looked down.
He sat down in his desk and class started.
About 30 minutes into the class, Ms. Gilles sat down at her desk and let us have work time to finish our notes and homework.
Collin Harrison turned around and started talking to me. "Hey Julia." Collin said.
He's the jock that apologized on television for bullying me but I still don't know if I can trust any of them.
"Hi." I said for a split second, then, looking back down at my paper.
"Could we talk after class?" He asked.
"No, you can talk now." I said, rudely, still focusing on my homework.
"Um.. Okay, well I just wanted to say I'm really, really sorry for making fun of you and bullying you. Could you please forgive me?" He asked.
I looked at his eyes and saw the same look when I looked into Jacks eyes. They were both begging for forgiveness.
Should I forgive Collin? He didn't even do much anyways, so, I should just forgive him so I can start making new friends.
I sighed and said, "Okay. I forgive you." He smiled so brightly and then Jack Gilinsky turned around.
He looked a little mad and confused. I hope he doesn't yell at me. I wonder why he's mad.
"You forgive him just like that?" He asks in a really loud, angry, voice.
"Uh. Yeah why?" I asked, a little bit annoyed, rolling my eyes a bit.
"When he apologized to you, you forgive him like that," he then snaps his finger, "but you're taking two days just to forgive me?!" He said a little louder than before, so, the whole class turned to look at us.
"Hey, no talking." Ms. Gilles says.
Jack turns around and starts writing. Once Ms.Gilles isn't paying attention, he turns back around.
"Why'd you forgive him so easily but you couldn't make up your mind about if you want to forgive me?" He whisper-yells.
I look at him really annoyed that he just asked that. He should know the answer already.
"Because Collin only bullied me once and he wasn't as mean to me as you were. He made fun of me when he was around his friends but he NEVER hit me! You did." I whispered.
He calmed down a bit and looked down in disappointment.
"It's harder for me to choose if I want to forgive you or not. You hurt me way worse. Seeing that you just yelled at me for something as small as this..." I stopped for a second, thinking more about what I wanted to say, "I don't think I want to forgive you." I said looking at him.
He looked sad that I just said that, then, responded, "So, you're not going to forgive me?" He asked, sadly with wide eyes.
"No, that's not exactly what I was saying. I'm saying that.. If you want me to forgive you, you have to prove to me that you won't hurt me again. Then, we can be friends." I said.
"Guys, stop talking so loud. You're gonna get in trouble." Hannah warned us.
I looked around and saw everybody staring at us. Especially Matt.
"Are you okay?" He asked, mouthing the words, no sound coming out.
I nodded my head, took out a note and wrote down, "I'm fine, don't worry about it:)." I passed it to him. He looked at it and smiled, nodding his head.
I looked back at Jack and his jaw was clenched. Is he mad again?! What's wrong with this boy. I never know why he's angry.
"I will prove to you that I won't hurt you, JuJu. I promise. But how am I supposed to prove it, if you never talk to me? You have to forgive me so I can show you that I'm trying my hardest to be your friend." He said looking into my eyes.
After probably 4 seconds, I broke the eye contact and looked down, figuring out if I should forgive him.
I thought about it for a while but eventually,
I made my choice...
