What Happened Last Year ~on hold~

A Forrest Meeting

"Really? Thats how i always enter." He laughs and stands up. He rubs his hands together. "I don't think I've introduced myself." I cross my arms over my chest, "Yet I still... You know what never mind." I said.

"What do you want?" I ask in a no joke tone. He frowns but doesn't budge. "I'm here getting an award." I know he's joking, "Likely story, for what most idiotic student?" I say. He shakes his head. "No im new actually." I roll my eyes. "That part was obvious."

"Your smiling." I say and he laughs. "Right." Just then the principal walks in and stares down our face off. I glare at the new kid then at the principal. "Hey, I'm still in authority." the principal tells me."Yeah and I'm still Carissa. Get over it." The boy tries to hold back his laughs and I look at him and he immediately is able to stop. Just then the principal's eyes widen in thought. "Oh, no. That's never good." I say. "Didn't think so." He answers. "Carissa as punishment for the hallway, you will tour mr. Asher Williams around the school." He smiles like he knows he's won. "If your punishing the hallway go for it, but leave me out of it." I say and drop my hands to my sides. The principal looks at me. "Also, two weeks detention." I look at him, your crazy. My expression reads. "Would you rather go to the guidence councellor?" He asks and I shrug, "Will buzz cut be there?" I ask and he realizes who I'm talking about. "You mean, Mr. Spencer Marshall. and yes he will be in detention." I nod. "Okay if you don't want to explain to his parents his black eye." I say as if thinking about it. "I'll take the guidence councelor, he tends to respond accordinly to my commentary." I smile triumphantly. The principal groans. "Great imitation man!" I say and he looks at Asher. Asher puts his hands up defensively "We don't know each other." He says trying to get out of this little haphazard situation. The principal grins. "An easy fix." He says joyously. He points to me. "This is Caressa Hurst." Then he points to Asher. "This is Asher Williams." He shews us out the door. "Now where were we." He says seductively and puts his hands on my waist.

"I was just about to kill you, so get your hands off." He smirks. "And when did i miss the announcement where school was laughable." I asked and he immediately stopped. The principal waved us off, shutting the door in our faces. "Well, he's in a good mood." I say, "If this is his good mood I don't want to see his bad side." Asher replied. "You were serious right?" He asks "yes, I actually meant it." My voice drips with sarcasm. We start walking down the hall and I feel his eyes on me. "What?" I ask and his eyes point that he knows he's done something. "What happened in that alleyway. That was not really me." Asher promises. I stop walking to look at him and by the look in his eyes, he means it. "And your point is." I trail off and he finishes. "Is, you don't have to hate me." He smiles and tries to get me to laugh. "Yet what you did was inexcusable. So yeah, I kind of do."

He rolls his eyes.

"Good luck on that tour." I smile and walk off. "Your supposed to give it." He yells after me. I wave and keep walking.

My next class is chemistry, I go to my locker and grab my books. I look behind me to find Asher still looking around. I walk right by to see if he notices me. He does and puts a hand on my shoulder. "What did I say about don't touch me?" I say as angrily as possible and rip my shoulder from his grasp. He has this apologetic look on his face that I don't by for a second. "What do you want?" I ask and roll up onto the balls of my toes and back down. "Just directions." He pleads. I give in and he immediately continues. "Where is Ms. Hays class for advanced chemistry?" I'm shocked that I have any classes with him, most guys are completely dumb. "I-I'm actually going there now." I stutter. He smiles and shows me his schedule. We have the next three periods together then a free period. "Jeez. I knew this place was small, but not this small." I whisper to myself. We head over to chemistry together and I sit down in my respective place in the back of the class. A tall girl with strawberry blonde hair stormy grey eyes and a perfect body walks in and starts blushing when she sees the new student. "Slut." I whisper to myself. She sits down with her posse and when Asher walks by she pulls him over to sit in the empty seat next to her. "Sit by me." She says In a slight southern accent. The room is set up to where each table can accommodate four people. As usual I'm stuck behind her,Jess Spring, the tenth grade slut, and now she has her prey in her hands. "today we will be studying Bose Einstein Condensate, can anyone tell me what that is." Ms. Hays asks the classes she walks in with a trey of concoctions. immediately I raise my hand. jess is called on first, and as usual she's making class anything but interesting. "Something I don't want to learn about." she replies the teacher rolls her eyes. "No, anyone else." she sees me "other than Carissa." she finishes "Thanks for calling on me I really appreciate it." she gives me the don't underestimate me look and I yell "right back at ya." the whole class bursts out laughing. "I believe the new kid does." someone behind says. Asher looks around. "I do." I whisper and the boys behind smirk and cough out "nerd." I raise my hand again and this time she does call on me. "But if you make one smart remark, there's a principal waiting to talk to you" I nod "again." Buzz cuts henchmen says behind me. "its really cold and molecules move together." I say with a triumphant smile. I had never seen the teacher this surprised before but she wasn't able to come back. "I'm guessing that means I got it right." I said a little hopeful. "you can't talk all of a sudden? Oops! Did it again!" I say trying to get any kind of come back. Asher smiles and mine suddenly disappears.

I clench my hand around the table and Ms.Hays hurries on. "we're going to make some today so go to page 347 and read the instructions for today's lab." I barely hear her as she finishes giving instructions. after we're all settled to do our work she leaves the classroom and let's us do our thing. as usual everyone is doing something different. the boys who had called me a nerd were already done and decided to toss it somewhere to see what would happen. "its my turn." I hear one of them say as the other one took the bottle of the foamy paste until they both threw it on me. as I turn around practically everything stops. I stand up and the bright blue in my veins are already back. Asher notices and pulls me into the hallway. he runs into the bathroom across the hall and grabs some paper towels. he takes off the foam on my back and hands me a wet towel. "hold onto this." he tells me and I am too confused to do differently. the blue flames that run through my body start to cool as the cold water is in my hand. once I'm clean and my I'm not blue anymore we walk back in, him then me. Once I see them laughing though, I know my fire is back. I walk up to them, and grab their ears until they each do something in pain. my hands are now fully blue and I can't believe what I had just done. their ears were now nearly black. The bell rang and this time I grabbed Asher by the wrist and walked outside. "we're going to be late for class." he says. I smirk and reply. "your talking to me. I hate English." We get to the alley behind the school in two minutes. "what was that?" I asked him. "you were having high emotions and you don't know how to control them yet." He smiles at his answer and I roll my eyes. " I meant why did you help me?" I asked and he didn't respond.

I didn't think he was going to until he said. "if I got you into the mess then I'll get you out. now we're going to be late and I actually enjoy English."

"Nerd." I whispered under my breath. He smiled and we walked back. As we were walking a thought occurred to me. "Why did you choose me?" I wondered allowed . He wouldn't look at me. "I didn't." Then we arrived at the door.
