Catherine
I woke up after this long break. It's kind of difficult, I am entering high school today!
I am excited, yet I am quite scared. Not because of the studies, but because our new principal just changed everyone's sections and now I don't know if I'll get any friends back in the same class.
I got ready and went downstairs to meet mom and dad.
I ate breakfast and saying my goodbyes, I went to my bus and left for school.
I reached here and damn, I am again nervous. I hate being surrounded by new people. I mean, everyone has to go through that at least one time - the moment when you first enter the school? The moment you are in a new class?
And now, I have to maybe go through the same. Without wasting more time, I went inside. I made my way to the office and three boys were taking their section names.
I went and stood behind them, in the queue.
The one boy, who looked or at least acted like the leader, took the cards for all of them.
"Fuck, we are not in the same class, dude," he said.
He has to have some nerves cursing so loudly in the office room!
"It's fine. Who stays in the class anyway?" one of them replied and they all almost laughed. "Point" he replied.
I was standing behind them and god, when will they leave??
The office mam was also not speaking anything. I decided to ask them to leave.
"Um... Can you excuse me?" I asked them and the leader looked at me.
Damn, he is handsome.
"Oh yeah" he got out of the way and those other two boys followed him. I took my card and saw my section.
X-B
Huh, I just hope I have some friends there.
Maybe it was just my instinct, but I looked back while going out. The boys were still there, on the side, but the leader was staring at me. Gosh, I should go.
I went from there and reached my class.
After I reached my class, I looked at the students, and yeah! I have my bestie here.
"Hey, Avery!" I said and she got up and came to me. She took me out and she was freaked out.
"Gosh, Cat! You came! You almost gave me a heart attack! I thought you were in a different class..."
I smiled. "I did the same. But guess that you also wished equally that I am here!"
"Wait. You wished!?" she stared laughing.
"Guess you didn't wish" I rolled my eyes.
She laughed and then we went back to the class. The teacher hasn't arrived yet, so I am just talking to Avery.
Many new students are there, only I guess a maximum of 10 students have remained, in which luckily I and Avery are here.
But damn, why is Bain in the same class again?
Yup, you must have guessed. He is my so-called ex. And I hate him.
I was just talking to Avery when suddenly she looked at the gate and froze.
"Don't tell me he is in our class" she whispered.
I followed the trail of her eyes and shit, I froze too.
Why the hell is he here?
"You know him?" I questioned her. "You don't know him?" she raised her eyebrow. "Not really... I just met him while taking my card. Not met him even, just told him to excuse himself so that I can take the card"
"Oh... He... Let me show you" she took out her phone and gave it to me.
I saw the pics and he was like, in every picture, with a new girl.
"So, he's a playboy?" I asked her, my eyes still fixed on the mobile screen.
"A big one. The famous 'bad boy' of our school?"
"But how did I not know him?" I gave her the phone back.
"Because to know him, you shouldn't be a nerd"
I looked at her with a bored and irritated face. I looked around and saw him looking afar, but damn, he was again looking at me. Not really staring, but was looking at me again and again.
"Why is he staring at you?" Avery questioned.
"How can I know?" I asked back.
"Go and ask him then" she suggested. "Go"
"Nope!" I snapped at her."So you are just letting him stare at you?""Uh...""Go, dude""Okay... In dispersal"
She sighed and accepted. This guy is different. He is staring at me and damn, I know it. And he knows that I know, but still he is staring!
Anyway, I passed the classes. I am really fed up with his stares, so I decided to talk at lunch itself.
We went to the canteen during the lunch period."Hm... Come, let's talk to him" I told Avery.
"What? No way. You are talking to him"
"Are you crazy! How can I talk alone!"
"Why?" she rolled her eyes. "Come on dude"
"Don't tell me that Evan is here"
"You got me!" she smiled like crazy. Guess being in a relationship drives everyone crazy.
I sighed and nodded. "Well...okay" I took some steps around and finally spotted him. He was talking to his friends.
He should be alone if I talk to him. I waited for his friends to leave.
His friends finally left when their 'girls' came and he was finally alone.
I made my way to him.
CatherineI slowly made my way towards him. Apparently, he always looks at me, but right now I was thankful that he wasn't. I mean, I am a wreck right now, with all that nervousness piling up inside me.I can do this.I convinced myself. He was using his phone while leaning against a wall. I know he's a 'playboy', an
Catherine"You!?" I yelled as Bain was just after me and I was literally between him and the wall."Yes, Cat. I want you back" he touched my cheeks. "Please""You didn't think about this when you cheated on me, did you?" I found myself getting emotional."Listen Cat" he bent his head towards me, and our lips were just cent
CatherineI was almost sleeping cause it was night time. Suddenly, I felt some movement near the curtain of my window. I took my vase that was kept at the bedside."Who... Who is there?" I said, suddenly fear rising in me.What if it is some kidnapper? Or a thief? Or worst, murderers?The movement slowed and I thought that
Catherine"Bain!?" I found myself getting way too much worried.I am sure I don't care about him anymore. But I don't want them to get in a fight. At least not when I think it's because of me.I ran to where Avery told me they were fighting. It was the backyard. Of course, Avery followed me and I was shocked to see them really set on almost killing each other, anddamn, I don't know what to do.I thought I'd call Bain. But I called Alex."Alex! Stop!" I yelled as I ran to him. He stopped at once."Cat?" he looked at me while looking at Bain again. "Go back""Alex, stop fighting!" I said, being quite possessive.He sighed. "Tell that to him"I looked at Bain. I remembered how he tried to forcefully kiss me."He's notmine, Alex" I bluntly said. "Will YOU at least listen to me?"He looked taken aback. "Fine"I smiled at him which he returned with his own.
AlexanderI stopped the car when Jay, Charlie, and James surrounded it. Theyreallywanna die.I came out of the car."Who's she?" Charlie asked me. He is the leader of their so-called gang."Does that matter to you?" I was not in the mood for any fight."Oh? She'sanother slutof you I guess"That was it. I took out my gun and shot him in his chest. They were terrified. They thought I'd not carry a gun to school. They are really stupid.The other two quickly took him with them and ran away.I just can't take it. Bain also said that she's just another girl I'll use. He called her filthy names.Is this because she is withme?I turned around and sat in the car. I looked at her, she was... Afraid."Hey... Catherine..""You shot him?" her voice was barely audible."Look, Cat..." I reasoned. "They are bad people--""I think
Alex"I don't want you to have a gun" she demanded and I fell silent.How can I not have a gun?I am the leader of my gang.It's my responsibility to keep my people safe. How's that possible without a gun?"I'll not force you, you know?" she said and I looked at her. She was close to me right now. "But if you really choose your gun, don't force me either"I didn't reply. I couldn't. It was such a difficult choice for me."I want to hear your reply soon, Alex. I really hope you'll tell me tomorrow" she said and turned around and left.I couldn't stop her once again because I didn't know what I will choose. I can't leave her. She... She is the first one to make myheartrace when we're near. She is thefirstone that I respect more than anyone or anything. I can't do this.But without my gun?-----CatherineI reached my ho
Catherine"So now. Will you be my girlfriend?" he questioned as he looked into my eyes.I wanted to.Isowanted to.But I can't."I-I...""Yes or No?" he questioned while I felt him stiffening."I can't, Alex," I said and he got up from me. He looked towards the window and ran his fingers through his hairs."See, Alex...""You rejected me right now, you know that?" he looked at me with an expressionless look."I-I didn't" I went near him but he yanked back."I can't Cat,stay away, that's for the best" he drew the curtains away, of the window."Alex I wanna be with you, I do!" I called him and he stopped."Then what's the problem?" he asked in a rather frustrated tone."There's... A lot is holding me back"He sighed. "I am not asking you to elope with me or something. That 'lot' which is holding you back, where is it hold
CatherineI was flustered after everything. I saw Alex coming back and I wasn't exactly sure what the principal sir said to him."Hey," I said as he came to me and smiled."Hey Catherine""What did he say?""Um..." he caressed his thumb over my cheek. "That we should not dothisin a school""Yeah, that's correct... Do... Do you think he'll complain?""Nope!" he turned me completely towards himself and kept his hand on both sides of my face. "Can I get an honest answer, Catherine?"My heart raced at the intensity of his gaze and also the question which seemed serious and deep."Yes""Am I not good enough for you?"He bit his lower lip as he asked it. I can't believe that thought even crossed his mind in the first place."Of course you are" I replied."Are you sure?""Yes, Alex and stop this nonsense" I hugged him and he hugged me back.Then he didn't s
