Polar Opposites Chapter 9
On Monday in art class, I was surprised that Liam came and sat beside me. He also started a conversation with me first. I don't know why, but I was glad that he was starting to feel comfortable around me. Even if it was just a little bit.As soon as art class was finished, I packed up my bag quickly and run to catch Liam before he disappeared again."Hey, do you want to eat lunch with me today?" I asked Liam as soon as I was near him."I normally eat outside by myself." He answered."I know that, but eat with us today. It's just my best friend and I. She is great. You will like her."He looks at me, deliberating for quite some time, before he responds. "Okay." I smile widely at his response."Great. Come on then." I said and we walk to the cafeteria. We ordered our lunch and I walk over to my seat where Bethany was already sitting. Liam followed behind me."Beth, Liam is joining us for lunch today." I said to Beth as soon as I reach the table. She looks up at Liam and gives him a warm

When I went home that day, I went upstairs to put my bag down and I went down into our basement to retrieve the things that I would need to paint.At school, I had decided that I was going to paint a picture of a cat and give it to Liam. I remember that he said that he wanted to paint a picture of a cat because he loved cats. After getting the equipment and tools, I brought them to the spare room that was rarely used and set them up. I brought out the paints that I will need and began painting.I was painting for half an hour, when I heard the door opening. My mom stepped through the door."Hey sweetie. What are you doing?" She asks as she steps closer to me."I'm painting a picture." I respond and continue with my work."Okay. Is it for class?" "No. I'm painting it for a friend." I reply."Oh, that's nice." She steps beside me to look at the painting. "Is that a cat?""Yeah. He likes cats." I supply. "He? So it's a boy?" She lifts her eyebrows at me. I nod. "Who is this boy? Do I k

The next day at school, I was walking down the hall, when I saw Liam at his locker. I walk up to him, "Hey." I said in greeting. He looks around at me and looks back around. He then slams his locker and walks away.I was stunned. I was frozen to my spot. What was that about? I hurry and catch up with him."Liam, what's the matter?" I ask. He ignores me. "What's wrong? Please talk to me." He continues to walk down the hallway, like I wasn't even there."Liam-?" Before I could say anything else, he turns into his classroom. I stopped at the door, more confused than ever. Okay. What just happened?Turning away, I left him alone and went to my first period class.----------"He totally ignored me, when I asked what was wrong." I relayed to Beth at lunch."Maybe he's tired of you and wants some space." She speculated.I shook my head, "I don't think so. I think he hates me for something. When he looked at me, I could see the hatred and disappointment in his eyes.""Do you remember doing

Today was Friday and Beth and I had gone to the movies after school. Liam was still not talking to me. He had passed me in the hallway and I did the same. He had said I shouldn't talk to him and I was respecting his wishes.I had told Beth at school today, what Nate had done and I had to calm her down and stop her from 'twisting his neck'. That's what she said she would do anyways. She almost did it at lunch too. Nate had passed our table and made a snide comment about what he did and Beth had shot up instantly to go after him, but Brian had held her waist to prevent her from getting into trouble. She was really angry.Now, the movie was finished and we were walking from the theatre."Hey, want to come over to my house?" She asks as we stood outside the building."I can't. My dad is coming home and I want to be there." I said."Okay. See you then. I'll call you later." "Bye." I said as I got a taxi to go home.When I got home, I saw that my dad was already there by the suitcase I sa

"I had a brother." He finally began. "He was eight years older than me and we were very close. Mason and I would do everything together. I looked up to him." He stops for a while and closes his eyes as if remembering. I placed my hand on his. He opens his eyes and looks at me. He smiles softly in appreciation, then continues. "When I was eight and he was sixteen, I wanted a new video game that had just came out, so I begged him to take me to the video store. Being the kind of person he was, he agreed to drive me.""We were in the car and on our way to the store, when all of a sudden a car came out of nowhere. Everything happened in slow motion and I don't remember much, but I remember the car hitting the driver's side of my brother's car, flipping it over." He continues. I gasp in shock."I don't know anything after that, because I was knocked out and became unconscious instantly. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. I asked the doctor how my brother was and he told me that he didn

In art class on Monday, I went and sat beside Liam. He smiles when he saw me. We held a small conversation, until Mr. Weir came to class."Good morning class, today you are going to be given an assignment that you will be doing in pairs." Mr. Weir said, while putting some papers down on his desk. "I want you to create a sketchbook and you are going to fill the spaces with your work and drawing of your choice. Use your sketchbook as a place to let out your ideas and thoughts.""The purpose of this assignment is to strengthened your drawing skills, encourage you to look harder at things, use your imagination, explore techniques that interest you and challenge you." He continues. "Now, your sketchbooks are due in two weeks on the Friday class. No excuses."Mr. Weir then allowed us to select our partners. It was not hard for me, because I already knew who I was going to work with. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked around on my right side to see Amanda Gillies. "Do you want to be m

"I really hate my biology class." I heard Beth said, as she walks up to me and leans on the locker beside mine with a sigh. "Why does Mr. Troupe has to be so boring?"First period had just ended and I was getting my books. I looked at her and laugh. "I don't know. Maybe it's because he's old." I guess, shrugging."Well, it's time he retires and stop boring us with his monotone voice." Beth groans.I close my locker and smile. "Well look at the bright side, we are going to history class now." I pull on her arm. "Come on." She smiles. I knew she would, because she loves history."By the way, what is up with Liam?" She asks as we walk to class.I frown at her. "What are you talking about?" I ask."In biology class a while ago, he seems distracted. I ask him what was wrong and he just brushes it off." She explains."I don't know, but I noticed it too when he came to my house yesterday. He got a text and then he got upset." I reply."Are you going to ask him?" She ask."He didn't answer yo

The following day after school, Liam and I were at his house working on our assignment. Liam had showed me what he drew so far and to be honest, it was amazing. He was really getting better at it. I also showed him my sketches and we decided on what we were drawing next.We were currently in Liam's room, sitting on the floor and working on our second sketches. We decided to step it up to something harder.We were drawing for about half an hour, when I looked over at Liam's book to see how he was doing. As soon as I look over, he covers the sketch with his hands. "You can't see it." He said as I tried to take a peek."Why?" I asked pouting."Because it's not good." He answers. "Okay, okay." I said, holding my hands up in surrender and turn away. As soon as he removes his hands and became distracted, I grab the book away from him and stood up quickly."Hey!" He said, getting up from the floor and trying to grab the book back."Come on, just one peek." I said. I hold the book tight to
