The Devil All the Time

Chapter 3

Adhira P.O.V

"Adhira will you present what you have so far." Mrs. Colleen announces smiling nodding at me.

I walk up nervously, but not as nervous as I used to be. I'm kinda used to be watched by bid crowds or even small.

"So I'm doing the moon and the sun. They help each other in different ways to be honest. The moon helps us while the sun might be a bit bad for us, he's good." I smile and watch a few students laugh at me.

"Yeah why are you acting like this is a fucking love story?" A guy in the back announces.

"Language!" Mrs. Colleen yells and shakes her head turning towards me.

"If you were the sun you'd probably feel bad that you can hurt and kill people, but-." I got cut off again by this time Marley.

"Why is your name Indian if your not? I mean it's kinda of a weird name." She giggles and sits back in her seat.

"Thank you Adhira for presenting to us what you have." Mrs. Colleen says winking at me and nodding.

"So I think we need to all have a lesson on how to treat someone." She announces and looks at the two in the back.

Before she could say anything else the bell rang and everyone stormed out. I stayed in my seat with my head down and took a deep breath in and out.

"Don't listen to those kids." Mrs. Colleen says sitting in the desk before me.

"Yeah I know, it just hurts that people don't like me." I sigh and look up at her. She nods her head and rubs my shoulders.

"If you ever need to talk about something, I'm always here for you." She says looking at the classroom door. She nudged my arm making me look up at the door.

Apollo stood there looking at me with a sad look on his face. He looked like he felt bad for me, but from how I know him he probably doesn't.

"Do you need anything Mr. Coleman?" She announces and stands up.

"Umm-no actually I was just making sure Adhira was okay." He smirked and looked at me. My heart skipped a beat and I was confused of what just happened.

"No yea I'm fine." I reply and nod my head looking away from him.

I saw him from the corner of my eye turning and walking away. I sighed and pulled out my water to drink a sip of it.

"He totally has a crush on you!" She squeals and I spit out my water. In the process I swallowed down the wrong hole and I started choking on water.

"Your trying to kill me." I laugh and put my hand through my brown hair.

"I've only known him for two days and for those two days I've annoyed him." I shake my head looking down at the desk.

"Sure you have, well I have a half day so maybe you can sit with Mr. Peter." She suggests holding up all her science books.

"But he's going to lecture me about calculus." I whine and roll my eyes.

"Oh it's okay." She laughs and waved her hand for me to follow her.

"Your dad asked me to spend dinner with you two tonight if that's okay." She announces and looks behind at me.

"Oh my gosh, you guys are like so in love." I tighten my grip on my book bag and walk through the not so crowded hall anymore.

"Don't even deny it!" I speak up running up next to her.

"We will talk about this later, right now I have to take my dog to the doctors." She chuckles and waved her hand walking out of the doors.

I sigh and walk into the room with just Mr. Peter. He was an older man with a very nice wife who sometimes gives me her homemade famous cookies. He was the best math teacher and actually made it fun to learn.

"Good afternoon Mr. Peter." I announce walking to the front desk.

"Good afternoon Adhira." He smiles and looks back at his computer. I look around the room and think of what I could ask him.

"So how's your day been?" I shrug my shoulders and lean back in the chair.

"Very exhausting." He chuckles and sighs hearing the bell ring.

"Well I guess I will see you later today Adhira." He waves to me walking to my English class.

The hall crowds with a punch of kids along with me who blends in with all of them. I don't stand out and I don't stand in.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." A deep voice says bending over grabbing my books that fell on the ground.

"No it's my fau-." I stop talking when I stare into his dark grey eyes. I heard him breathing heavily and me not breathing at all.

"I'm sorry about those assholes earlier." He smiles and looks down at my lips and back to my eyes.

"Language!" I squeal pushing his arm. He looked at me coldly, then I knew what I did.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean." I worryingly say and grab my books out of his hands.

"Your worried about touching my arm?" He tilts his head and chuckles.

"Well yeah I just saw that look in your eyes telling me you didn't like when I hit you just then." I say as my hands start to shake.

"So your staring into my eyes now?" He raises an eyebrow and looks down at me.

"I-." I choke out, but I hold my hands together.

"I'm just joking." He says looking down at my shaking hands.

"I changed my mind about the tutoring thing if you want to know." He smiles and looks back up.

"Really? I mean I didn't feel right when I showed up at your house after meeting you. Ms. Colleen actually told me to go to your house. I was crossing a boun-." He cuts me off by touching my shoulder.

""Do you always ramble when your nervous?" He questions tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

I was surprised to say the least. He was like bipolar or something?

"So when do you want me to start tutoring you?" I ask creasing my eyebrows.

"How about I drive you to my house after school then we can." He smiles and bites his lower lip.

"Yeah." I agree looking at all the people looking at us. I felt uncomfortable and I think he could tell that.

"I'll see you later then." He nods his head and makes sure to touch my shoulder as he walks past me.

God what has Ms. Colleen got me in?
