Hey guys, I know you're all saying I should be updating my other stories instead of starting new ones. But I got an idea and you know when that happens to me I have to write.

I dedicate this to a good friend of mine. Because I know she'll always be there for me and I love talking to her whenever I do.

This one's for you, Mak.

I walked into biology, a permanent groan in my head. I hated this class more than any other. It never seemed to end. I made my way towards the back of the class to my seat.

"Guess what!" Nikki, the obnoxious girl who sat next to me said excitedly.

"Yeah?" I answered in a bored tone. Knowing her she was probably going to start talking about new clothes or something else completely irreverent to my life.

"We have a sub for this class!" I stared at her. That would be awesome. The class might finally go by faster than what seemed an eternity.

"You sure?" I asked. I didn't exactly trust Nikki with all her gossip.

"Yeah! I heard it from Sam, who heard it from Mike, who heard it from Gabby who--"

"Stop!" I cut her off. Ugh, she was so annoying. I couldn't stand her or her little friends. As a matter of fact, I couldn't stand this school. I couldn't stand the teachers who treated you horribly if you didn't get good grades, the kids who tortured you because you weren't like them; I just hated everything about the school.

I looked at my watch, which was the same time to the second as the school clock. Its good to know how many seconds till you're free.

'5…4…3…2…1…' I put my head down as the bell rang, ready to possibly sleep.

"Hey everyone…" My head began to slowly rise as I heard the voice.

'Please…no.' I begged to myself. I breathed in, in pain. It was him.

"I'm Mr. Curtis." I swallowed hard. I hate him. I hate him. Tears began to well in my eyes, which I wiped away impatiently. I wasn't going to let him see me like this. I hate him.

"I'll start with attendance." And he did. He got to the D's and I swallowed hard.

"Lorraine…" He stopped and looked up. I closed my eyes in pain but quickly opened them. "Rei?"

"Rei Dunlap, here." I said coldly.

"C'mere." He said. I made my way over to him, hate etched on my face, covering the pain I felt in seeing him. I stood in front of him. He made to hug me and I stepped back.

"Don't touch me." My voice sounded strange even to me. It sounded…venomous. He looked taken aback as well.

"I'm going to the bathroom." I walked out of the room and tears quickly began to stream down my face.

I hope you liked it. I know it's vague and that's done on purpose. You'll find out why she hates him soon enough. And I know he has a job and substituting isn't it, but that'll be explained as well.

Thanks for reading and please review,

Ale
