Distress
Fifth period is Biology.
Which means I'm going to have to face Irina.
I groan inwardly at the thought.
Hopefully Mr. Banner won't have us do a lab today so that she won't be able to talk to me.
During regular class, she sits on the complete opposite side of the classroom as me, but we're lab partners.
My distress is completely erased - where Irina is concerned - when I open the door.
Now . . . I know that I might be crazy . . . but I'm pretty sure - no, I'm positive that Masen has never been in my Biology class.
And I know for sure that the seat next to me has always been empty.
The one that he's currently occupying.
I see red.
"What exactly is it that you think you're doing?" I hiss in his smirking face, not even remembering walking across the room.
"I transferred into your Biology class."
I don't just see red. I taste it.
But that might just be the blood coming from my lip from me biting it so hard.
"I told you to stay away from me," I remind him.
"You know that I can't do that," he says seriously before smirking once again, "And you and I both know that some part of you doesn't want that at all."
"You don't know me."
"Actually . . . I think I do," he assures me, "I probably know you better than anyone else ever has . . . or will."
Should I punch him in the face?
I should punch him in the face.
"You don't really want to do that," he says, shaking his head, "It will only end up making you feel worse."
He's probably right.
And that thought really makes me want to punch myself in the face.
"And you definitely don't want to do that."
"What the fuck! Can you like, read my mind, or something?" I exclaim, throwing my hands up in my frustration.
He smiles cheekily, "Might as well."
"Alright, class," Mr. Banner calls our attention, "Everyone take your seat. We're going to be taking notes today."
And suddenly a lab with Irina doesn't seem so bad.
A/N: You went above and beyond as per usual, my friends.
But if you want another update tonight . . . well, I'm getting tired so I'm going to have to raise the bar.
Ten favorites.
Let's see what you guys can do.
