Part two.

The next day at school I find that all of my friends are waiting for me in my usual parking spot. By the looks on their faces, I can tell that this is going to be another intervention.

I park my car, and look at the letter that i have written to myself, that is tucked away safely on the dashboard. I read it once or twice, take a deep breath and step outside of my car.

"Hey guys" I say, grabbing my bag from the back seat. "Is everyone sore from yesterday?"

Everyone opened their mouths, but stopped as if they couldn't find the words to tell me off this time.

"Guys, seriously what's going on you guys are freaking me out here" I say. "I mean by now Zuzim would already be smacking me with her heel, Madison would be raping me on the roof of my car, what's up with you guys, this is the most ineffective intervention you guys have given me."

Everyone stays silent again, and all of my friends just look at each other.

"WHAT THE DUCK IS GOING ON" I yell.

"Those guys are in coming to our school" Robert blurts out, and everyone sighs as if they were just relieved of some deep dark secret.

"Dude" says Madison "they have the same schedule as you!"

I can feel my mouth drop, and I stand there gaping at them. "F my life" I say.

I walk into the student lounge and see that all of my other friends are talking to Derek and Simon. Well more so Simon, Derek just grunted "Hi" to anyone who even dared look his way. I took a deep breath and walked into the room, trying to find a seat. Every seat in the lounge was taken, except for the bench that Derek was sitting on.
"Is everyone the intimidated by him" I thought to myself. I walked in and began to put my My Chemical Romance messenger bag on the ground; I felt a slap on my ass and turned around to see Madison and Jessie smiling at me. I knew they were up to no good with that big smile on their faces. Madison and Jessie looked at each other and before I Knew it my purse was ripped away from me and thrown into the corner of the bench were Derek sat.

I stood there trying to think of a way I could get my bag back without asking Derek for help. Of course I knew that asking him would be the smart thing to do but, I knew that's what Jessie and Madison wanted me to do.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice that Derek was staring at me.

I blushed wondering how long had he been staring at me. Derek and I had a fifteen second stare down before he looked over to the corner of the bench and saw my bag. Derek glanced at and then at the bag putting two and two together, he then reached over trying to get my bag. He was just about to get it when Simon said something, distracting him from my bag.

I sigh realizing that I would have to get my bag myself. So I stood up on the bench and then I hopped on to the table, eyeing my bag.

Everything was going fine until I felt two hands on my bottom, pushing me.

I swear everything went in slow motion, one moment I was looking at my bag the next thing I see is juice and cereal flying in the air, my hands outstretched before me trying to grab air.

I brace myself for the hard linoleum floor, but I feel two strong hands grab me by my waist.

The next thing I know I'm on Derek's lap staring straight into his eyes.

The lounge erupts into a frenzy of whoops and laughter.

"I'm sorry" I whisper to Derek, and then I rush out of the room my face burning red.

I ran to the only place I knew, that was empty in the morning. Mr. Browns room, my physics teacher. I threw my bags to the ground, and grabbed my note book and pen; ready to take notes on anything Mr. Brown was willing to help me with.

Mr. Brown raised his eyes, curious to why I was in his room half an hour before class started. "Mr. Brown could you help me, I didn't really get the lesson yesterday"

The next half an hour, my thoughts were engrossed in the laws of thermodynamics. I almost forgot about what happened in the lounge, for a moment I was at peace, everything was ok.

But that didn't last very long. Soon enough all my classmates began to enter the room, officially ending my tutoring session with Mr. Brown. I trudge forward and slump into my seat, waiting for my friends to come in and tease me.

The first person who walks through the door is Jessie; I pick up my book and shield my face, hoping that she'll see that I'm upset over what happened. Jessie rips the book from my hands and places it in her bag, I give her the most intense glare I have ever given anybody, but she just shrugs smiling as she waves her "You can do it" sign in front of me.

Madison then waltzes through the door dragging Leah right behind her. "No" says Leah, "I don't want to go."

"Too bad bitch!" says Madison as she stuffs Leah in her seat, and while doing so she glances at me giving me her most famous, "ha ha" smile. I sink even lower into my seat, and cradle my head in my hands, hoping that the period will end soon.

"Hey Karla!" I hear a cheery voice say.

I look up and see that it's Simon, I try my best to smile at him but I fail. Simon shrugs, "It's ok" he says, "I wouldn't be able to smile after being humiliated in front of half the student body."

I sigh, and catch a huge hulking figure making its way across the ramp and into the room.

"IN THREE, TWO, ONE" yell out Madison, Leah and Jessie as Derek walks in.

"Why do birds suddenly appear" they begin to sing, "every time you are near, just like me they long to be close to you"

Simon laughs, a grin smothering his face, "On the day that you were born" he began to sing along.

"The angels came together and decide to create a dream come true"

At this point everyone in the class has joined in serenading Derek, who stands in the middle of the row, across me and a seat next to Simon.

"So they sprinkle stardust in your hair, and made your eyes a shade of blue, no wait Greeeen"

Madison, Leah, and Jessie glance at me making goo goo eyes at me. "That is why all the girls in town follow you all around, just like me they long to be"

"Close to you" I sing, the room going silent, and Derek staring straight at me. I can feel my heart hammering at my ribs as I feel his gaze slice right through me.

"All right class" yells Mr. Brown, "It's time to settle down and get started"

I had never been so excited to start physics until today.
