‘Please not now’, is my thought at the moment.Like will anyone just allow me to have peace, I have had enough of being told the ‘rules and regulations’ of this school honestly.“Hey, I said, you are on my seat” he repeats“How is this your fu*king seat? sorry” I ask him, looking up to him, pretending to be confused.I know that seats would have been ‘allocated’ or everyone would have at least gotten their seat and seat mate, or chosen the seat they want, but sometimes, if you still want to keep that seat, you have to hurry up to the class.“I have totally forgotten that this is where he sits” Katya whispers to me.“How could you forget about something like that?” I ask her, whispering.“Sorry” she whispers back apologetically, with a guilt-stricken face“I didn’t see your bag nor any of your properties here neither was your name engraved here, so how is this your seat?” I ask him again.But having looked around when I entered the class, if I stand up from here, there is a possibility
“Oh My God, yes” she tells me, hitting the table.“Do you really have to hit the table to tell me” I ask her, rolling my eyes.“The only flaw with him is that he is a bully, but he is good in all his classes, at least so I’m told, and he is so good at art” she tells me“And the also twins?” I ask her“No, the twins are not like him, Declan is good in his classes and Duncan, well he is like the top academic wise, Declan plays football, but Duncan, his twin, he is nerd, a hot nerd” she tells me, gesturing with her hands to explain.As she continues her explanation, she is interrupted by the teacher.She gives us back our drawing, and I am able to take a glance at Oliver’s drawing the drawing is good, very good, not going to lie.He glances at me for a brief moment, and goes back to his seat.I don’t know if he is intrigued by me, or he is planning something behind his scowl, with the amount of times he has glanced at me and with the glare he gave me earlier.“Ash, right?” The teacher as
“Oh, it’s you”“Yeah me, you’re not a fan of me, I am not a fan of you, I will appreciate if you make sure we don’t cross path” he tells me, putting his hands in his pocket.I look at him in irritation and his two friends that are beside him.“I never cared about you, you are the one seeking me out right now” I tell him, scoffing at him.“That’s good” he tells me, leaving with his friends.Looking at their retreating silhouette, I turn to ask Katya a very important question.“Are they always like this?” I ask her, squinting my eyes.“Yeah” she says, still staring at their silhouette disbelievingly.“And why didn’t you tell me that they live around this area” I ask her“I told you, but from the looks of it you were ignoring me then” she says, pouting“And again most people going to our school lives around here”“Fortunately for you or unfortunately for you, he lives three houses from yours’ and the twins four houses from your house” she tells me while grinning.“Why are you so happy, d
A month after, things have changed slightly, although the ‘three beauties’ don’t have the intention of ever leaving me alone.If they don’t cross the line, I won’t do anything, I don’t have any business with them, I will only do to them what they do to me.Classes have not been exactly easy, especially for a sophomore who joins a new school, also taking seven AP classes. But it has kept me busy.Katya has been the good friend a new student needs always. She has been helping me to adjust to the system, even though most of our classes are not together, we only have two, Statistics and Art.Oliver and I have not interacted ever since the day we met on my way home, we’ve only been passing each other by, and see each other in classes we have together.My Dad has also been really busy with his work, in adjusting to his new work and environment, which has not been so easy for him, from the bags under his eyes and the look of tiredness he always try to hide with coffee and a forced smile.Wal
“Are we going” she asks me, looking very excited about the idea of us being invited to a party,“Are we going” she asks me, looking very excited about the idea of us being invited to a party,“Of course not” I deadpan.“Why?” she asks me, grabbing my hands and pouting trying to act cute.“No matter how you much you try to act cute, I am still not going, I have a lot of assignments to do, and books to read” I tell her, shaking her hands off me.“Maybe that is why you don’t even know how to socialize, and maybe that is why you don’t have friends” she tells me, looking at another direction.“Don’t talk like you have thousands of friends” I sass her.“I do have” she tells me, glaring at me like what I said hurt her feelings.“I am your only friend, so don’t try to feed me that crap” I tell her, shaking my head at her antics.“It doesn’t matter, and again don’t change the subject, you are going to that party” she tells me, trying to use a commanding tone with me.Not with that her tiny voi
Going through my lunch time routine with Katya, since our lunch has always been and will always be at the same time, we are suddenly disrupted with one of the ‘beauties’ saying she has an announcement to make.“Hey guys, Damian’s brother is inviting us to his party” Minnie Moe announces, which has everyone’s attention with the announcement.“But you are not invited” she says, pointing at me.I continue eating my lunch completely ignoring what she said. This triggers her, ‘cause she hates being ignored.“You hear me” she barks.“Uhn hn” I murmur.“She thinks she is all that” Katya whispers to me.Since she has a loud voice and she can hardly whisper silently, her statement catches their attention causing one of the jocks with the bit*hes to scoff at us.“And what did you just say bit*h” she shrieks out.“None of you goddamn business” I say, banging me hand on the tableI really want to cause trouble with these bit*hes today, they’ve been getting on my nerves all this while, not that I
After hours of me studying and completely forgetting about the party and Katya not bringing it up, she suddenly tells me she really has a one of a type favour to do for me.“Do you know the comic book you told me you will really like, like really really will like to read?” she suddenly asks me“Yeah” I mumble, trying to finish up my Statistics assignment.“I have it” she states.And now she knows she has my attention.“You are lying” I tell her, looking at her disbelievingly, because if she has it, why won’t she have said anything ‘til now.“Nope I’m not” she says, looking very smug.“And before you say anything, I knew it would come in handy one day, that’s why I didn’t mention it” she says, looking at me like she is very proud of herself for not telling me about it earlier.“So will you give me?” I ask her, excited with the fact that I will be able to read the book.I’ve been searching for the book, since it is an old comic, a lot of comic shops and bookshops don’t have it, sadly.“
Oliver’s POVWhen Dec told me about a party by a senior, I wanted to decline, but not with the puppy looks he was giving me, I could not.It is not like I hate parties, I go to a lot, but not just feeling this one, not like I have really been in mood for a lot of things.And coming to parties mean being alone unless someone is bold enough to come to me.Being a well known bully chases people from you, not like I really had a lot of friends before, but no one wants to get close ‘cause no one wants to do or say something and be afraid of whether they will face your wrath or not.Not like I have anybody’s fucking time.Sipping my first glass of alcohol since the party started, I notice the girl who bumped into me on her first day, Ashley I think, talking to Damian.Damian and I are not really friends, but we greet each other when we see, he is only somehow close with Dec.Seeing her looking disinterested in whatever Damian is saying reminds me the first time I saw her.She was at the sch
