Anastasia POV
The school bell rang indicating school was over and I couldn't feel more at ease.I just wanted to leave this place.I stuffed my books into my backpack as Sarah did the same.
"Do you have any plans for the weekend?" Sarad asked as she zipped her backpack .
"Not really just reading, " I replied nonchalantly.
She knew what I did each weekend and she still has to ask,what's she up to?
"Why don't we hang out tomorrow,what do you think?" Sarah asked and I looked at her suspiciously.
Sarah never offers to hang out because I turn her down mist times.
We might be best friends but we have different hobbies...
"I don't think I can do that ,have you forgotten we were given an English and biology assignment. " I replied as I carried my backpack and she did the same.
 
Anastasia POV The alarm clock on my reading table rang and I turned it off. It was already 6:30. I stretched my sore body.I woke up by 3 am to study and do my assignment. I know I should be resting during the weekend but I felt it was unnecessary to sleep and waste time instead of studying. I was so exhausted but I felt enlightened by the book I was reading. I lazily dragged myself into the bathroom where I stood In front of the mirror looking at the stranger I saw. I has changed from the once happy and intelligent girl to this nerd,my hair was messy I hardly even took care of it now,I had bags under my eyes it's shouldn't be this way for a highschool student but I choose it to be a better version of myself, but was my choice right ? Am I actually doing the right thing by studying and not trying to blend in to School? I was more like an outsider in school and no one wanted to hang out with the nerd. I exhaled deeply as I held the washbasin,I just wa
Anastasia POVI gulped as I stared at the grumpy man in front of me. I was sure I haven't seen him around the neighborhood so where did he come from?"S.. sorry." I stuttered, nervous at the glare I was receiving."Get out of the damn way girl." He hissed at me as walked right past me, shoving me aside a bit."Hold on a minute! What did I do?" I shouted at the harsh treatment I received and turned around immediately but he didn't even listen, let alone turn. He had already put a lot of distance between us because he was walking fast.I sighed as I turned back and continued my journey.I wonder if being in thoughts was now a crime. Couldn't he just have avoided walking past me?Weirdo. I greeted my neighbors that I saw as I was going to the mini mall,it was a short distance from my house and after my encounter with the stranger I made sure to pay attention to the rest of my journey to the kin mall. I got to the mini mall and went in,I looked at the list again and noticed th
Anastasia POVCaleb could see that I was visibly not happy with the mention of Vincent's name. A frown formed on my face and all nervousness disappeared."Why are you asking me about Vincent?" I asked him grumpily."Oh nothing, just want to know,you don't have to frown that way to show me you are displeased with the mention of Vincent's name,just forget about it." Caleb replied.Maybe I read too much into his question,it was just a harmless one but I knew well enough to be cautious around anyone, especially someone nice to me without a reason."Oh…" I muttered.I don't want to answer that question he asked. No one has ever asked me that.I knew that I despised Vincent for bullying me but I never said it out loud, because I was scared. "What about you,what are your likes and dislikes and what do you do for fun?" I asked as the tense silence that followed was not something I liked. "Are we close to your house?" He asked and I wondered if he knew where I lived. "Yea " I affirm
Anastasia POV I continued walking to school, keeping a great distance from Daniel, but he had his hands in his pockets walking as if he owned the school.I walked faster and walked past him. Does he just want me to sweat and ruin today for me? He never goes to school this early so why does it seem like he just decided to leave early to warn me to stay away from Caleb. I don't know if everyone is telling me to stay away from Caleb ,from what I know he doesn't seem like a bad guy. I hurriedly walked to school not wanting Daniel to catch up to me,I didn't want to walk with him. When I got to school I received strange looks, it's as if they think I am a new student. I walked into my class and all eyes was on me ,that made me uncomfortable, I walked to my seat with my head down ,when I wanted to seat someone shouted. "Don't sit !" My classmate shouted as I turned and looked at him in surprise. "There's gum on your seat." He said as he looked around nervously
Anastasia POVHe hummed. "Okay if you say so" he said as we continued to sit in silence. How does he know that I was expecting him to say something? This was so embarrassing. I shouldn't be expecting him to comment on my look just because he did so last time. I shouldn't put much thought into his actions just because he insisted on helping me that day. Why did I feel hurt by his question? I had already had my lunch and there was no need to sit down here ,so I stood up.I should leave him alone. "I will be heading back to class bye" I muttered. "Do you hate my company? Is that why you are running away even when lunch break isn't over?"he asked to my surprise wasn't he the one that was ignoring me? " How can I sit here when you are ignoring me?" I mumbled. "I wasn't ignoring you," he replied. Oh gosh he heard what I said,I was torn between sitting down or heading back to class. If I head back to class he might think I don't like him and if I sit down
Anastasia POV: I have never heard Vincent talk like this before ,did something happen to his voice. His voice was calm and smooth unlike the Vincent that I know that would talk in a voice promising pain just to instill fear in someone. "Mm... Vincent hi" I greeted flashing him a nervous smile as if that would work ,I prayed that he doesn't do anything to me,I was in such a good mood I don't want anything ruining it today. Vincent took in my appearance,he looked at me from head to toe and I felt nervous under his scrutinizing gaze and silence,I heard him tsk.. "Hi..." He replied to my greatest surprise and I was like what? …I was so taken aback that I couldn't even say anything anymore. Is this really Vincent? That was the first thing my mind asked me, here I was standing in front of Vincent and he wasn't trying to bully me instead he had this soft look in his eyes. Okay this is great but I think I prefer Vincent , who was rude to me at this point because at least I kn
Anastasia POV; Immediately the bell rang indicating that school was over Sarah was all over me asking what had happened. "Vincent " that name made her understand the sudden change of mood. "Are you okay?... You seemed too upset this time,did something else happen? " she asked worriedly. Why won't I be upset? After getting butterflies in my stomach from being close to Caleb and him telling Bella off in front of kr, Vincent had to be the jerk he was and ruin my small moment of happiness by pulling my hair. " I'm fine " I muttered. I was just tired and needed to go home. I just want today to end and I can hop on my bed and rest. " Let's go home then ,you can tell me what happened while we are heading home " Sarah said as she carried her backpack and I carried mine too and we made our way for the door and out the school gate where Tina and Dora were waiting for us,it's just as if they were monitoring our movements. "Hi Anna dear " Tina greeted happily. "
Anastasia POV; When my alarm clock rang the next day I got out of bed and made my way downstairs if there's anything mum does everyday,that is to preparelunch for us and I wanted to be there when she prepare lunch because I wanted to prepare lunch for Caleb. I know we haven't got to the extent of saying we were good friends but I just wanted to do something nice for him so cooking for him was the only thing I thought of,I never saw him eat lunch that much,I mainly saw him with snacks. I got downstairs I saw mum cooking breakfast. I greeted her and join her and I told you about wanting to cook lunch for my friend."You want to cook for Sarah?" Mum asked and I shook my head and she raised an eyebrow at that.Yes she knows if how the only friend I had was Sarah."A new friend." I answered. I haven't actually done something like before so she must know that it was important and she was more than glad to help as she was happy I made a new friend. After making lunch for Caleb I tha
