Chapter 29
"It was fun!" I said laughing, finishing the last bite of food left on my plate, "so um, what do you have now?" I asked, dusting my clothes.
"Ugh, maths- but don't forget to tell me all about your date on Friday!"
"Of course, Terra. But only if you tell me all about yours with Damon!" I laughed,
"Definitely, bye." She hugged and went off.
I sat alone and played with fork and knife, before getting up and grabbing my stuff so I could go to my next lesson.
I opened the door to the classroom and saw a new name on the board, instead of my regular teachers. I took my seat, "new teacher, huh?" I asked Wally, who was on his phone texting.
"Nah- probably just a substitute," he replied, somewhat disinterested. He was still typing on his phone, he didn't even look up when I asked him the question.
"Okay.." I mumbled. "Um, do you know if Victors in this class? Cause I uh, have a project with him di in for art and we need to meet up sometime to do it,"
"No, I don't know, but if I see him, I'll tell him your looking for him," he still had his eye on his phone.
"Hah, that kinda reminds me of the times last year when we used to sit next to each other in art and um we used to be partnered together, it was funny."
"Sure was." Okay- now he was just being disrespectful. It was annoying me I could feel myself about to pop.
"Are you actually serious?" I asked, in a pissed of voice. Only now did he decide to look up fromhis stupid phone, with a stupid look on his face which read what did I do. "You're being so rude right now,"
"How?"
"I am trying to have a nice, friendly conversation with you and you don't even look up, not even once and me, and you keep giving me some blunt answers that makes me think that I'm just annoying you!" I could feel my voice start to rise,
"N-no, Jinx, first of all, I think you're over reacting so you need to quiten down,"
"Of course you'd think that," I muttered, rolling my eyes. It seems like he still heard me though.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked me, all offended.
"You know what, don't worry." I replied before getting my stuff and moving to another seat. I don't care if I get in trouble for moving, I am not sitting near someone who doesn't even appreciate me trying to be nice.
Eventually, the person who's seat I was sitting in came in and asked me to move but I convinced them to move and let me sit here just for one lesson, even if it wasn't in the nicest way. Plus it was easier because it was a bottle-headed blonde bimbo who would do anything to sit near the most popular guy in this school.
After school I had nothing to do, Chris went back to his home yesterday but he's coming back soon which is good! I think he's been my longest lasting relationship yet and he just makes me so happy.
He's funny and charismatic but that doesn't stop him from being sarcastic and sassy and totally the best person to rant to in the world. We're totally alike aswell, we both watch the same movies and hate the same characters, although we aren't the same so that it's boring, we also contrast a lot. But the best part is he's totally fine with taking it slow, I know a lot of guys and I've been out with loads, none were proper though, and they've all wanted to do things really fast- but he's okay with me and I find that really admirable.
Whenever he's away, we call as much as possible and to be honest we are one of those stupid couples that I would usually hate but now that I have my own, it isn't so bad.
Before getting into a proper relationship, I never knew and realised how bitter I used to be, how I used to whine about the smallest things and how long it would take me to fall asleep knowing that I have this irrational and crazy fear that I will somehow die and end up alone. I've become the opposite now, even Terra had noticed how much happier I had become because I gues I almost felt accepted in a way.
And even though Chris is and seems perfect, I know that one sadly it will have to end, true love (especially not high school love) can live forever so I guess there is no point trying. Although I do often remind my self that I need to experience these things and that I should live in the moment. I should stop focusing too much on my future and I should at least be thankful for what I have. There are people who have less than me and who are still smiling.
But the one thing I can not get over is how I met Chris in such a cliche scenario, something straight of a love story and something that would never happen in real life, like those romantic films that show up on the TV all time.
Me and Chris have watched a few, and he thinks that sometimes we do get happy endings but that is one of the things I disagree on him with him. It's highly unlikely that if I fall in love with someone and they leave me, we will somehow end up together again in the next 20 years or so and get married.
I looked at the time. I could sit and think for hours, or I could do something more productive and fun. I did complete all my homework already so I guess this means that I have to be sociable- although I'm not really good at it.
I got my bag and phone and went to the local coffee shop I usually go to, but this time I was kind of hoping to see someone over there. I saw, from the corner of my eye, Victor and he was perfect to see! Now I could finally discuss our art project or else we'd both be getting after school detentions and I can't be bothered for that. See it's not good when both you and your partner are procrastinators and always leave stuff to the last minute because now we only have 2 days to do it.
"Victor, hey!" I said, going up to him in the line.
"Jinx, Yeah, wally told me you were looking for me,"
"Mhm, guess why."
"Don't remind me," he groaned.
"I know- I can't be bothered for it either, but unless you wanna hang around with me and our teacher for an hour after school on Friday then we have to do it." I informed, "So, when are you free?"
"Uh, I guess I'm free now." He told me, looking at his watch,
"Ur Okay, sure let's do it now. Except for the fact that all of our equipment is at home. Or mine is anyway."
"And I completely forgot about that," he took a pause, "Okay how about I grab a coffee right now and we can discuss our plans and everything and then do the work tomorrow?" He proposed,
"Hm, Okay. Order me a coffee too though!"
"Of course, latte?"
"Yup," I said, before prouncing off to find a seat for the two of us.
He came back in about 10 minutes with two hot drinks in his hand, I inhaled the smell. "Wow I can't remeber the last time I went to a coffee shop,"
"I come here all the time. It's probably my favourite. And not only because it's like two minutes away," he joked. I gave a laugh in reply and then he cleared his throat. "So uh, what's the projects theme?"
And I forgot what the theme was my self. Damn it. "Urrr, hold on, I think I have it on my phone." I fiddled around my pocket for a few minutes until I found it.
I opened it and I had another missed call from a blocked number, that had kept on calling me after the game- and almost coincidentally I'm never available to pick it up?
"Ah-hah, here it is!" I said, opened a document which explained what we had to do. "Okay so basically we have to um create a painting to do with mythology and their creatures, and write an essay about them."
"Okay, so let's split it. Do you wanna write the essay or paint the picture?"
"I'd definitely rather paint, I can't write to save my life. Also I'm alright at drawing unicorns," I joked.
"Great! I can't draw but I'm better at writing."
"Okay cool, so we'll meet again tomorrow when we're done?" I asked, offering my hand.
He looked at it up and down,
"Yeah we'll meet tomorrow," he finally said, shaking my hand. "By the way, what's with the whole hand shake?" He teased,
"Oh!" I looked down at my hands, embarrassed. I could feel the blood rush up to my cheeks and I could feel them turn red. "Nothing," I sheepishly laughed.
"See you tomorrow." He said, leaving,
"Yeah, see you tomrrow." I said sitting down, still sipping on my latte.
