We were off to the cafeteria after I waited for Oli to take a quick shower and change in to his uniform. It took quite a while but I didn't really care. If waiting means that I can be with him then that's what I shall do. I couldn't stand living without this boy for some reason and it kills me to stay away from him for too long.
We reached the cafeteria at about 7:40 A.M. and there was only 30 minutes until our separation. Somehow, our schedules never met. It was either he had s subject before I did or the other way around and sometimes they were far apart from each other. I sighed looking at my schedule as we walked towards the locker area. At least they considered changing lockers so that we'd have ours side by side. I unlocked my locker and placed my books inside and kept what I needed. Oli did the same and smiled when we both shut it at the same time.
"What's your first subject?" he asked for the third time today.
"Biology," I said for the third time in a row.
"Sorry I just can't believe our schedules are so different from each other," he said and I smiled at him.
"Well it's not entirely different. We have some subjects in common," I said as we started to walk slowly towards my first class. Luckily, his classroom was just across mine and he didn't have to walk a great distance to get to his class.
"Yea, really?" he said confused. His eyebrows merged at a point and I laughed at his reaction.
"Lunch and dismissal," I said and he rolled his eyes.
"Fine, I'll see you lunch then," he said and I went in to my class room and he went in to his.
As I went in, I looked at the chaotic class and caught some people staring me down as if I did something wrong. I sat at the only empty table at the back and set down my things. First days are totally not my thing especially when Oli wasn't here to help me get through it. I don't even know how I survived first days before. I sighed to myself and grabbed my notebook and a pen and started doodling at the back page as I waited for the teacher to come.
"That seems like fun," a familiar voice said. I looked up and looked to my left just to see Steven sitting on the table right beside mine. I ignored him and focused my attention on the heart I was shading.
"Settle down class," the teacher stated coming in the room to start the class. I thank her for her timing. If she didn't come at that moment, I don't think I'd survive Steven commenting about the stuff that I've been doing.
The teacher started saying stuff about Biology but I don't really pay that much attention to orientations so I kept doodling away. When I was bored and I didn't know what else to draw anymore, that's when I looked up from my notebook and started listening to all the crap that she was saying. Turns out we were being grouped in to twos for the whole semester.
"Asher and Sanders right there at the corner," the teacher pointed and my eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. It took time for me to understand exactly what she said and when I did, Steven was staring at me from the table we were assigned to be in with quite a big smirk on his face. I shook my head and grabbed all my things and stomped over to the table. I sat on my chair looking away from him. I did not feel comfortable sitting here with him by my side and I don't think I can last the whole year.
[i]This is stupid[/i] I thought to myself. It's all so stupid and I can't believe I'm making a fuss out of all this. Clearly he was drunk and maybe after that blow he really couldn't remember a thing. But there was no mark on his face which kinda made me wonder.
"[b]This[/b] will be fun," he said exaggerating when he said this. I rolled my eyes and waited for the class to end.
I kept silent the whole time even when he said some things which I couldn't really understand since he was muttering most of them but I'm sure he said hi more than once or twice. Ignoring is one of my strong points so I didn't really have difficulty in shunning him away when I didn't feel answering him.
"Okay, class, you may go," the teacher said and I quickly stuffed my things in my bag and left the room. But he was too quick for me.
"Would you mind telling me what I did wrong? What did I do to deserve all this?" he asked innocently but I just narrowed my eyes on him and ducked past him and out the door.
I walked briskly to my locker to put in the heavy Biology book we'd be using this year. I looked at my schedule again and walked quickly to class. Luckily I didn't get lost. I exhaled heavily as soon as I sat down. I thought about what happened and practically zoned out of class. I didn't even know half the things the teacher mentioned during his discussion. I was a total mess and I knew that. If only I could get away and have some time to myself to think for once, maybe I'd start paying attention.
I walked from class to class not really learning anything. I may have listened to some of them but for some reason, everything I heard passed through the other ear and out of my head. Time passed quickly and I found myself walking to my locker to put my stuff in so that I can get ready for lunch. When I reached my locker, Oli was there with arms opened wide. I hugged him tightly and wasn't planning to let go until he started to loosen his grip.
"You okay?" he asked as soon as I let go.
"Not really," I huffed. I leaned against the lockers and told him about Steven being my Bio partner for practically the rest of the semester. His mood started to change slowly from more or less happy to pissed off because of Steven. I hated him and apparently, so did Oli. We went to the cafeteria to get a decent lunch and I told him to forget about it but for some reason, I doubted him. It didn't seem like he'd just forget about it like that. I bet he'd find any excuse just to kill him but maybe kill isn't the right word. Probably beat up would be a much better phrase. Either way, he still wants to hurt Steven no matter what…
At least that's what I think…
