Okay, it's been a while since I last updated, but I was having a hard time figuring out how one of my other chapters should've went.
Okay, about this chapter. It's nothing really. Mainly Trevor and Corrie's true first encounter. Then it'll lead to why Corrie wants to change.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.
Quickie recap!
"What is it Corrie?"
"I just helped London Tipton!" she answered, the excitement in her voice mixed with her childlike nature.
Maddie just slapped her forehead and put her forehead down on the counter as Corrie was jumping up and down.
CHAPTER TWO
Corrie looked at herself in the mirror, smoothing out the wrinkles in her plaid skirt. She picked up a comb and ran it through the soft curls in her brown-black hair. She wanted to look nice today...well, nicer than usual. And it was all for one person.
"Trevor. That was his name," she whispered to herself, pulling a portion of her hair into a ribbon. She checked her reflection once more and grabbed her bag and school supplies and hurried out the door.
-----------------------------
Trevor walked into the office and sister greeted him warmly. He told her his name and she told him to take a seat and wait a minute.
Corrie walked into the office with a note for them. She noticed Trevor sitting there and turned around, waiting patiently for sister to return to the desk.
Trevor noticed her walking in and tried to remember where he saw her.
Sister return to the desk with the information he needed to start his days at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow.
Trevor stood up and went over to Sister, taking the papers from her.
"Trevor, you will be in Sister Dominick's homeroom." Sister said, handing him the last sheet.
"Oh, that's my homeroom!" Corrie piped in.
"Well, then you wouldn't mind showing Trevor where it is then, would you?" Sister asked, taking the note from her hands.
"Of course not. I'd be happy to." Corrie looked over at him to see that he was smiling at her. She walked out of the office with Trevor right behind her. There were a few minutes of awkward silence between them as students filed around them.
"You're that girl from the Tipton yesterday, right?" Trevor asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Yeah, that was me. I'm sorry about bumping into you. My mind was somewhere else."
"Don't worry about it," Trevor shifted all the papers to one hand, "My name's Trevor as Sister said." He extended his hand.
Corrie took it, feeling his hand tighten around hers. "I'm Corrie."
"Corrie...that's a nice name. Only befitting for a pretty girl like you." Trevor stopped. He wasn't fully thinking through his word before they left his mouth. Corrie giggled, causing Trevor to laugh along with her. "Are you friends with Maddie and London?"
"Yeah. Maddie's a really good friend of mine. And London's my idol! Why? Did you know them before you came here?"
Trevor looked down at his moving feet. "Yeah. The Tipton held a merit scholar event and I was chosen to attend. That's where I met London and Maddie and there were some weird turn of events and somehow Maddie and I started going out. We couldn't make it work, but I never got a chance to apologize for what I did to her and London."
"Oh...is that why you moved here?"
"Kinda...my dad's work got transferred over here and that's how I basically ended up here."
They continued to talk on friendly terms as they walked to Sister Dominick's room.
"Well, here we are. Home sweet homeroom." Corrie opened the door. She walked in and took her seat by London, who was busy filing her nails again.
Trevor walked in slowly to the front of the room, stopping at Sister Dominick's desk. Sister looked up and took the paper that Trevor was supposed to give to her. She stood up, grabbing the class's attention.
"We have a new addition to our homeroom. His name is Trevor," Sister announced. Her eyes scanned for an empty seat and there was one, just two chairs in front of Maddie. "Trevor, you will sit in the seat two chairs in front of Miss Madeline."
"Sister don't!" Maddie stood up, objecting.
"Why?"
"Because...because..." Maddie sat down, not finding a plausible reason for why he couldn't sit there other than the fact that he was a jerk.
"No reason? Good. Now Trevor, please go take your seat."
Trevor gathered his books and placed them on the desk that he was assigned to. He turned around and saw that Maddie had her hands folded across her chest and a pout pasted on her face. She didn't even turn to look at him. He turned around and looked to his left. He was sitting right next to London and beside London was Corrie, the girl he had been talking to minutes earlier.
He had started to like her. There was just something about her that was different. He didn't know, but she was different than other girls. Sure, she was a little obsessed with London (as shown by yesterday's hopping around her), but when he talked to her this morning, she seemed like a normal person who just wanted to have friends.
"Students," Sister said, pulling him out of his thoughts, "now we'll start today with discussing the literary works of O. Henry..."
-----------------------------------
"Okay, you guys can talk for a couple minutes," Sister stated, "But after that, we'll get back to work." She turned around and sat at her desk.
Trevor turned around. "Maddie," he pleaded, "Maddie, just listen to me."
"Sister, may I be excused to the bathroom?" Maddie asked, standing up.
"Yes, Madeline. Once you get back, we'll pick up where we left off."
Maddie rushed out the door, letting it slam behind her. Trevor turned to face the front of the room, wondering how he was going to get Maddie to listen to him. He turned to his left to face London, who was talking to Corrie...well actually she was yelling at Corrie.
"London, listen can you help me?" Trevor asked.
"Help you do what?"
"Get Maddie to just listen to me for like 5 seconds."
"Why?"
"I just need to apologize to her, but she won't even look at me. That's all I want to do, apologize and I'll be out of her life forever."
"Okay, I'll help you." London answered, returning to her nails.
"Thanks London." Trevor smiled and look past London to see Corrie waving at him. He lifted his hand to wave back but when Maddie returned the lessons were resumed and he didn't get a chance to wave back.
--------------------------------------
Noon rolled around slowly. Maddie, London, and Corrie carried their trays to their usual table, joining their friend Mary-Margaret, who arrived late this morning due to a doctor's appointment. Maddie let out a sigh as she nudged her food with her fork.
"What's the matter Maddie?" Mary-Margaret asked.
"Did you hear the story of Trevor and Maddie from a while back?" London answered.
"Yeah, that kid who wanted to destroy the world as Maddie put it?"
"Yeah him. Well, he's back and Maddie doesn't want anything to do with him."
"Oh, so that would mean that she'd be leaving the table right now?"
Maddie looked up. "Why would I be leaving the table?"
"Cause some boy is walking this way and he looks like a new kid. I'm suspecting that he's the Trevor that you're talking about," Mary-Margaret pointed out. Everyone turned to look at Maddie, who had disappeared from the table.
Trevor took a seat beside Corrie, across from London. "I guess she saw me coming?"
"Yup!" London answered absentmindedly.
"Hey Trevor!" Corrie said.
"Hey Corrie. Nice to see you again." Trevor turned to London, "Listen, I've got an idea to get Maddie to listen to me..."
Corrie sat back, feeling rejected. "Why is it that he's more interested in Maddie and London than me? What was wrong with me? Was I just too plain for him? 'Cause it seems that most of his attention is focused on London. Yesterday and this morning. Maybe that's what's wrong with me. I am just too plain for him."
"Corrie are you alright today?" Mary-Margaret asked, "You're not acting like yourself today."
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just not hungry anymore. I'm gonna go somewhere. I'll see you in class." Corrie got up, dumped her trash in the bin, returned her tray, and walked out of the cafeteria.
Trevor noticed that Corrie had left. "What's wrong with Corrie?"
"I don't know. She said she wasn't hungry and left."
---------------------------------------
"From now on, I'm not going to be boring plain Corrie, I'm gonna be someone else. All I need is London's help..."
Like I said, nothing much, but please review!
With much love,
