The Transfer

Chapter 28: Avoiding problems is better, right?

I peeped to check if I can see him. It been 2 weeks since i've been avoiding Finn and Matt. Has it been successful? Well can giraffes do the shuffle? Nope.

I knew i had to do this though. It all made sense, after all. Matt didn't like that I was with Finn all the time. I mean I would have done the same if my friend was hanging around with this random girl. Matt is an ok guy. The last thing i want to do is make him mad. Not because i'm scared he'll hurt me but because I know how it feels to have something taken away from me. It sucks. 

At the start it was okay, I was able to concentrate on my work which was something i never was able to do. My dad was proud of me but was worried I was just doing work all day and not having a break. Well I didn't want to. If i left my room or went somewhere, what if Finn came and said something. 

It started to get worse when I was in classes with Matt and he tried to talk to me and ask what's up. I could always feel Finn staring at me whenever I ignored them after class. He must be so confused. If only he understood why i was doing this. I don't want to come between him and Matt. 

So here I am, being cautious everywhere I go. 

He wasn't there. Okay lets go. I had my books in my shivering hands as I walked towards my last class. Wow, why does avoiding people make me so nervous? I've done this so much times in the past. Avoided people in school who would try to talk to me or those who hassled me. But when it's avoiding Matt, it feels weird. Like I really don't want to see his sad hurt face.  Oh, and also Finn of course. 

I was about to walk into my class when to guys came infront of my all of sudden.

I was about to shout because I was used to guys in this school being idiots and coming in my way.

"Hey!" I said, as my books dropped from the shock. I didn't even want to see who it was and just bent down to pick my books up. Just as i was about to pick my last one, one of the guys picked it up instead. 

I stood up and looked to see Finn and Matt staring at me with a frown.

My eyes widened. I didn't know what to do but snatch the book away from him and walk the opposite way.

As i was walking away I heard them following behind me. OKay okay okay this day is not going good.

How will I avoid them if their going to be following me ?

But i just kept walking feeling their eyes on me the whole time.

This was crazy. They not going to follow me for a long time right? 

How do you avoid a problem when that problem is following you? LITERALLY
