Chapter 4
WARNING (SUICIDE IDEATION)
"Miss, I don't think it's a polite thing to bully your classmates" Ian said
But why was he smiling?
Why does he have that amused look on his face
Does he think all this is funny?!!
Julie gritted her teeth, glared at me and walk away
She was pretty smart
Seeing that the one she liked had a favorable impression of me, she would probably not make a move on me well, not in his presence though, so that he would not have a bad impression of her.
"Are you alright?", Ian asked me softly.
'Do I look alright to you'
"Mm Thank you," I tried to at least force out a smile to my 'Saviour' though it looked pretty ugly but who cares
"Pfft "
What?
Did he just laugh at me?
He looked like he was trying to contain his laughter but couldn't
The Fuck!!
I looked at his face once more and walked away
"Hey! Aren't you going to meet the nurse?" He asked from afar
"I'm going right now"
"Should I follow you? "
"No" I walked away from his sight, unable to hear the last word he uttered
....
Ian POV
I was finally told to go to pick a seat.
I was pretty sure my legs were going to break any time soon because I had been standing for a really long time and the teacher just had to say a long ass introduction
'Hmm, where should I pick? '
There were no empty seats except for the back and that's where the interesting girl is at
Well, that's great then, at least I would be able to become her friend faster
My eyes caught a pretty girl pushing her desk mate away and patting her seat for me
'No way in heavens am I going to seat with her, she is mean'
I passed her not even sparing her a glance
She is probably gonna get mad, but it's not like I care anyway
I went to the desk behind the interesting girl and sat down
Hmm, she looked really familiar
To confirm my suspicion, I tapped her on her back so that she would look at me, and I'll be able to get a clean view of her, and as expected, she did turn back
It was her
The girl with dirty blonde hair and Hazel eyes that stopped me from committing suicide before!
How many years was that?
1…2, I can't really remember
It was a very cold night because it had just rained heavily. I was standing at the top of a building, ready to jump down but who could have expected that the moment I was supposed to meet my end she came out of nowhere, pulled me back and slapped me
'The fuck! She stopped me from fulfilling my lifelong dream, and she still had the audacity to slap me'
She was crying pretty hard then though, I wonder what had happened to her.
She grabbed me by the collar and yelled at me about how I wasn't concerned about my life and how countless people wanted to live, but they couldn't but here I was, trying to kill myself
God knows I was pretty pissed then
I yanked off her hands out of my collar and walked away angrily, muttering some curses at her
It was really surprising seeing her now with an icy expression, it was huge contrast from when I first saw her
What happened to her? Is it related to that night?
"Hi, I am Ian, your new desk mate. What's your name? " I said trying to give the best smile I could, and guess what? She ignored me and turned her face away
I tapped her again
No answer
Tapped again
No answer
Tapped again
She glared at me, she was probably pissed off
Meh, who cares
Something finally caught my interest how could I easily let it go and besides, her glare was kinda attractive
And again
"What? "She finally responded, but her tone was a bit cold
I wonder what is going on her mind right now? Too bad I can't see it
"Hi, I am Ian your new desk mate, what is your name? "
"Anne"
'Anne…. That's a pretty common name'
I tried to widen my smile to make me look more friendly. I can't remember the last time I took the initiative to be close to a person.
"It's nice to meet you Anne, your name is kinda lovely"
I'm such a liar
"Mm" She hummed
She really doesn't want to talk to me at all. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure I look and sound pretty friendly and nice?
I better stop this conversation before it gets awkward
"I'm under your care then" I said and pulled out my phone to signify that we should probably end the conversation
After our classes were over, I wanted to quietly stay alone in the classroom and probably jam to some tunes However, my wish wasn't granted. From various students introducing themselves to me, to me getting dragged to the cafeteria by some guys even though I refused the offer lots of times
I really wanted to beat them up for spoiling my alone time, but I can't start getting into trouble on my first day, so I followed them and besides, I hated fighting.
I was brought to a table which was probably the table of the 'populars' because I could see the jocks, the cheerleaders, the boys in black rubber jackets(the bad boys), the socialites and the bees.
They all introduced themselves to me, in which I responded with a smile. I tried to pay attention to the stuffs they were talking about,, but I got bored as usual and tried to restrain myself from yawning.
Some of them kind of noticed I was getting bored and tried asking me about various stuffs like my hobbies, my former school, my relationship etc. in which I replied and some of the jocks asked me if I could play any sports and I said I could play basketball, so we agreed to have a match after school was over to test my skills.
I've always loved a good basketball challenge
Crash
There was pure silence in the cafeteria except for a loud shriek
I turned my head to the direction of the shriek and saw Anne and the girl who offered her desk mate seat to me
What happened between both of them was so obvious because food could be seen splattered all over Julie's body.
"Ohhhhh boy who crashed into Julie" a girl said
"it's Anne" someone responded
"Ugh not again"
"But this looks like it's gonna be a good show"
It seems Anne isn't that simple
I really want to see how Anne would handle this
