Be Who You Are, And Say What You Feel. Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter, and Those Who Matter Don't Mind.
(Who said that? FIRST one to guess right gets a walk in in the next chapter)
Chapter 4:
Rpov
"I say we hit the movies, the new G.I Joe movie is out and it looks good as hell!" I told my friends as we sat in the quad eating lunch, it was the day after we had gotten our pen pal assignment and I was happy with the letter I had finished today and was eager to read the reply, not that I would tell anyone that of course.
"Doesn't that have Channing Tatum and The Rock? I love them both." My blonde long time best friend asks picking at her salad, she always seemed to eat like a bird; maybe that's why she was in size 0 pants. Then again maybe not, since I eat like a pig and am only in a size 3. Hmm, one of those unsolved mysteries of the world I guess.
I was just turning around to reply to her when out of the corner of my eye I saw that guy, the giant one who I have run into like 4 times. I swear if I didn't know better I would say he was stalking me. And great, be and his little friends were coming this way, to the table next to ours. Wonderful.
"you know what guys, I think I have to go talk to Mr. Petrov about something, I'll see you in class" I told Lissa, Mason, Eddie, Andre and Adrian before getting up from the table and throwing my trash away. The last thing I wanted was another little bickerment with tall dude.
FLASHBACK
That is it! I cannot take this class anymore. I need a reason to leave. Think Hathaway think! Oh! I have that thing for History and I need to go to the library to use one of the reference books. That is the perfect way to get out of this gay study hall. Smirking to myself I put my hand in the air and waited for what seemed like forever for the asshole teacher, Mr. Alto, to call on me.
"What do you want Hathaway?" he called from the front of the room, god I hated him. I have hated him since I was a freshmen and he had decided that he was going to make my life hell because he went to school with my mother and she was a bitch to him. I hate teachers who treat a new student like shit for something someone else did.
"Can I go to the Library? I have a report for history and I need to use one of the reference books and they won't let me check them out." I told him as I picked up my backpack and stood up. I knew he would let me go; he hated me as much as I hated him.
"Fine, go. Just be back before the end of class "he said holding out a hall pass so that if I got caught by a teacher I had a reason to be out of class. Giving him a smile I walked out of the class and put on my iPod before walking down the hall.
As I was nearing the corner I would need to go turn down to go to the library I suddenly had to pee like a race horse and so decided to go to the bathroom in the English hallway. Not that it was really that far away, hell if I turned left instead of right I was there. So that's what I did. But just as I was passing Mrs. Petrov's class, HE walked out and bumped into me.
Was it just me, or was my body suddenly on fire? No, it must just be me. Just as I was about to hit the floor I felt hands on my arms, and I looked up. He really was handsome, with that hair that just reached his shoulders, and eyes the color of melted chocolate. I felt I could get lost in them. But rather than let myself, I pulled out my Rose Hathaway attitude. "You again? Will you never learn to look where you're going? Really?" I snapped before pulling my arms away from him and walking down the hall way to the bathroom.
Once I got to the bathroom I let out a little breath and rubbed my arms. They still tingled from where he had grabbed my arms. Shaking my head I did my business and washed my hand before touching up my makeup and heading to the Library.
~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~RD~
The Library was mostly empty when I got there and signed into the clip board. Looking at the time on my phone, I saw that I had most of the hour to do my paper. Smiling to myself I walked over to the references books where and looked for one that would tell me all I needed to know about Alexander the Great. I knew some things about him, but not enough to do my paper.
Giving up on finding it myself I walked over to one of the computers to look up books about him. After writing the call numbers down for a couple books on a small piece of paper I walked to where I would find them, only to find HIM. "Oh my god, are you stalking me now? Really? I mean I know that I am lovable but this is a little much!" I snapped before running my hand though my hair, and shaking my head.
"For your information, I was on my way here when you so rudely ran into me and didn't even have the curtsey to say thank you for me not letting you fall on your ass. I really don't see why everyone loves you so much, you seem like a spoiled brat to me. And in case you haven't noticed you are the one who keeps running into me and insulting me. Or trying to at least. " He replied his eyes never leaving the book he had in his hand. and oh my god! As if he couldn't get hotter, he had an accent. Russian I think.
I was just getting ready to reply when I heard the bell ring, cutting off any further arguments.
END FLASHBACK
I had just made my way to my locker when someone ran over to me, "Rose Hathaway? I'm Jessica!" the girl, who looked about 14, asks. She looked really nice, with wavy brown hair that fell to mid back, and big brown eyes. "Mrs. Petrov ask me to bring this to you. She said it's your new letter." Jessica added, waiting for my answer.
"Ya, I am Rose. And thank you. Though I don't see why it couldn't wait till tomorrow. Hey, Jessica let me ask you something. How old are you?" I ask as I put my backpack in the locker and got out my pen, pad of paper and math book for my next class.
"I am 18, I know I look a lot younger, but hey it will come in handy when I am like 40 right?" she said laughing before giving me a wave and walking off to the cafeteria, while I made my way to the window where I always sat with my friends.
I got a new letter! YAY! i cannot believe how happy I was just sitting there holding the letter in my hand. After a quick look at my phone to check the time I tore open the letter and sat there reading it.
If You Really Knew Me? Ya, I think I remember that show. I watched it with Lissa, it was good. But if he really knew me what would he know? Well there is a lot of stuff that I keep to myself or at least in my little group.
After reading the letter over a couple more times, I pulled out a piece of paper and started writing.
Dear Penn:
Well Its good to know that I am not the only one excited, and its for the same reason really. I have tons of 'friends' but only a couple that really know me. And it will be nice to talk to someone who doesn't know who I am and wont expect me to act any certain way.
I myself and 17, turning 18 next march. Blah, why cant it be now?
I am a girl, all around. xD
I am an only child, seeing as my father took off, or doesn't even know me I really have no idea all I know is that I don't know him.
I love all kinds of music, except country. I don't know what it is but it just never sat well with me. Lol
I love all kinds of movies too, but mostly anything with fighting. I know girls are supposed to like those sappy love stories, but it just makes me miserable to watch people fall in love and get their happy ending when my love life sucks. Ya I have a boyfriend but I think he only wants me to show off and he doesn't act like he really cares all that much about me. It sucks really.
There you go, your….my questions answered. Ha-ha. We should probably think of more off these letters could get boring.
As for that show, I do remember it my friend made me watch it saying that looking at their problems would make my home life seem better. It didn't.
Now if you really knew me? Well I got accused of being spoiled today, so if you really knew me you would know I am not. Ya I may have gotten a new car and all the material things a person wants, but what I really want is a family. My mom is never home and is always working and like I said I don't even know my dad. I have basically grown up by myself. Hell as soon as I could use a microwave and take a bath without drowning my mom started leaving me home while she went to work. How I envy you for having a family.
ANYWAY before this gets TOO deep I am going to say bye, I am writing this at lunch and the hour is almost over so I have to go to math (Gah I HATE that class lol) I look forward to your next letter new friend.
Waiting to hear from you,
Kit 3
After going back and reading my letter over for mistakes I folded it up and got up to go give it to Mrs. P. the sooner the letter got to Penn, the sooner I got a reply. It may be a little weird but already I trusted this guy, more than I have trusted someone in a while.
A/N: ok, so I know that this took a long time to get out, but my computer has been on crack, and I have been busy. But I got it out and this is the longest chapter yet 5 pages before this A/N so go me! xD
