i feel my phone buzz in my pocket. i ignore it.
"told you so, man, she's so outta your league." the kid behind me hisses. i feel Levi tense beside me. i look up at him. i hear the kid's buddy sigh behind me. my phone buzzes again. Levi tenses more. i reach out, cup his face, and kiss him.
"im yours." i whisper as im pulling away. i hear the kid chuckle.
"told you so. she's with Ackerman. shes not looking for someone like you."
"shes being toyed with! cant she see that? he's playing a game with her heart. he's using her." i grab a piece of paper from my bag.
'i dont believe that for even i millisecond.' i write. Levi glances at it and writes his own reply.
'you should because its true.' he responds.
'dont say that, Levi.' i reply. he scoffs.
"you know its true, Alice. i pity you. Thats all. You know that. Dont say you dont." he hisses. i sigh and look at the board. "Alice i-" i hold my hand up in the universal 'shut up' gesture. he clenches his fists. my phone buzzes again. i whip around to glare at the kids behind me. i turn back and finish taking my notes."im sorry. i didnt mean any of it." i grab my peice of paper and write,
'it was hurtful. i dont want your pity. i dont need it. i want to be accepted. the first this people notice are my pure white eyes. then my silence. do you think i want to be told im opitied by the boy ive given my heart to? im already pitied by ost of the school. i dont need you to pity me oo, i dont give a damn if you dont give a shit about me. but dont pity me. pity some animal that got hit by a car. not me. i am still able to do things on my own. i do not require help- to survive. i dont need nor want your pity.' i pass it too him right as the bell rings. he looks at it suprized. i walk out.
