Chapter Two: Watch It

Luckily, Ian didn't take the bus today.

My first class was Math, one of the subjects that I don't have with Ian. So while walking there with Mel and Lily, one of my other close friends, I bumped into the one person I didn't want to see, Ian O'Shea. Which reminds me. The day that I am most grateful for, and that I also dread the most...

After the day that Ian started dating Sharon, he completely stopped talking to me. I mean even though I found those beautiful blue eyes hard to resist, I couldn't respect someone who would willing spend time with that conceited airhead! What did they even talk about anyway? How her nail polish matched her shoe colour? So since the second day of seventh grade Ian hung out with the self proclaimed popular group - Andy, Paige, Sharon, obviously, Violetta, Aaron, and Heidi. I hung out with people like Melanie, Jared, Lily, Wes, Brandt, and Steven. Sometimes I would catch those blue eyes staring at me from across the school yard, but basically we were in two different worlds. And that's how it was until the last day of grade nine. That was the day that Ian finally broke up with Sharon. Apparently he had his reasons.

I caught up with Ian after school that day and started up a conversation.

"Hey, Ian. So I heard about you and Sharon today."

"Yeah, I decided that I didn't want to be with someone like that. Even if it meant becoming popular, though I think I've already achieved that goal."

"What?"

"That is pretty much the only reason that I went out with her. What did you think?"

"So you're telling me that you went out with her for two years, just so you could get popular? Because if you are, then you are the most-"

"Why else would I date her?" he interrupted me. "She was beyond rude, shallow as hell, and all she did was talk badly about people all the time, like they were below her or something."

"Wow, I've never met anyone so dedicated to becoming popular before," I said, rudely.

"Oh, and sorry about not talking to you, I just couldn't risk it , you know? Everyone knows how much you and Sharon don't like each other."

"Don't be sorry, I wouldn't want to talk to someone like you anyways."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that I don't want to talk to a person that would use someone to become popular, even if it was Sharon, and that would deliberately ignore someone because they didn't want to 'risk it'," I said, with anger evident in my voice.

"But Wanda you don't understand-" he tried to say, but I cut him off.

"I think I do. But the least you could do is not lie to me about it. I don't want to hear it, Ian. Goodbye."

I walked away leaving him with those last few words. It's a good thing we don't live that close to each other or else this would be a very long summer. There was no possible way I could like him anymore, could there? It didn't feel that way. When I turned around, to see if he was still there, I saw him on the bench waiting for the bus to come. He was looking at me, but I didn't feel any emotion other than anger towards him. Normally, I would feel my heart beat twice as fast, or skip a beat whenever I looked at him, or whenever he looked at me. But now my heart didn't skip a beat or beat faster. It was at a quiet steady beat, showing no trace of affection towards Ian. I left myself thinking that there was no way anyone could possibly change my mind about him. Ian O'Shea was a jerk who didn't think of anyone but himself...

And I still believe that. I have avoided any sort of social contact with him for the last year or so, but this year, it's going to be impossible.

"Oh, joy." I thought, as Ian looked down at me with that stupid smirk on his face. And when I say looked down, I mean it; he's literally about a foot taller than me.

"Watch it; you might just knock someone down next time." he said, sarcasm very evident in his voice.

I walked off without saying a word.

"Come on, babe, don't be like that. You have to admit, that was funny."

I turned around. "No, it really wasn't. Now can you just leave me alone, and don't call me that again. It's bad enough that I have to be lab partners with you."

"Whatever you say. See you in class." He winked at me and walked to his next class.

Ugh, he is so infuriating! What made him decide to speak to me now? These past few years without acknowledging him have been the best. Why did the stupid school system have to ruin that? This semester is going to be the worst.

All through Math all I could think about is what will happen during fourth period, Chemistry.

"I should just ignore him," I thought.

If I just do that than he would leave me alone, right? Wrong. Knowing Ian, from our brief encounters in the past, he doesn't give up easily. So I guess I just have to deal with him; let whatever happens happen.

Second and third period went by too quickly. Hopefully Chemistry will be the same way, although I did see Ian looking at me and Steven when we were talking after my second class. He was almost glaring.

I saw Ian down the hallway where my locker was, talking to Heidi. More like flirting actually. As soon as he saw me in the hallway he leaned closer to her. Did he do that on purpose? Was he trying to make me jealous or something? Well it makes no sense to me. I don't like him anymore, so there's no reason for a part of me to feel the tiniest bit jealous right now, right? I mean I've seen him do this before, lots of times before, so why is it making a difference now all of a sudden?

As I went to my locker, I saw from the corner of my eye, that Heidi was leaving to go to class and Ian was coming this way. I quickly got my books, closed the locker door, and went straight to class, walking as fast as I could. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be enough.

"Hey partner. Ready for class?" he asked, cheerfully I might add.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I mumbled.

I've decided that I have to deal with this; there absolutely is no way around it. Trust me, I've checked. Twice.

We sat down at the lab tables, our teacher, Ms. Lewis, told us that we will be learning about the different types of metals. Metals, non-metals, semi-metals, you know, the boring stuff. At least with this unit Ian and I won't have to work together as much. But apparently that doesn't mean he will be talking to me any less.

"So you and Steven, eh?" he asked. I wasn't expecting that.

"What?" I asked, clearly surprised by the question.

"I saw you two talking after class."

"Why do you care?"

"I don't. I just wanted to know, that's all."

"Okay, whatever you say." I said sarcastically, copying what he said earlier.

"Are you going to answer my question?"

"Why should I? It's not like we're friends or anything."

"And whose fault is that?" he asked.

"Yours." I said, like I was talking to a toddler.

"How is it my fault? If you were to just hear me out that day, we would be in a different place right now."

"Well I guess we're just going to have to keep it that way, because I'm not going to listen now."

"Fine, if you don't want to know the truth than I guess that's your business."

"Yeah, it is." I said, because I knew this conversation was going nowhere.

Was it good? The only way for me to find out is if you guys review for me :D

Thanks again to all that reviewed the last time and to everyone that favourite and story/author alerted. And, once again, don't forget to answer the poll on my profile; it is going to help with the third chapter ;)
