Chapter 4: "I guess you're stuck with me princess."
༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄
I stare at the ceiling, no longer in ma's arms, I just lie there in complete silence as the morning sun shines through my windows.
>>>>>
"Please study these chemistry problems in your notebook, Ill be quizzing you on them soon."
The class sighs but begins with it anyway
silently.
So after my morning routine, I greeted ma and left home to get to school, and here I am in my first period. Chemistry.
After twenty minutes Mr.Steel comes around checking on everyone's work then returns to the front of the classroom.
"Close your books, put down your pens."
He starts by asking some girl named Mariya.
I start fidgeting with my pen, as I think about Aria, she's only ten, she's so young and confused, I have no idea where she is, is she okay?, is Derek taking proper care of her? I just wanna hug her and tell her that I love her and that i needed her as much as she needed me.
"Elle?!" Im called out of my thoughts by Mr.Steel
"Sir?" I ask confused
"I asked why Fluorine can be obtained by electrolysis method?" He asks in a furious tone
"Urhm...b-b-because"
"Because fluorine is the strongest chemical oxidizing agent therefore, the only practicable method of preparing elemental fluorine is by an electrolytic method."
I freeze in my seat, as I turn my head to the back of the classroom to find out that Zach had answered for me, he gives me an annoying look then turns his head back to Mr.Steel. The rest of the classroom gasping and whispering.
Suddenly, the bell rings, students pack up and leave, I stay seated, slowly packing up.
"I belive i saved you."
I look up to meet the eyes of Zach as he towers over me.
"Thanks, but you didn't have to."
"Yeah, but i did, so now you owe me."
We stare into each others eyes, time seems to stop as we just stand there. His beautiful hazel eyes staring into my grey ones, i just wanna capture this moment forever.
We get interrupted by the shouting of Mr.Steel
"Oii!, you only got two minutes until your next class starts!"
My eyes widen, as i rush past Zach, running out the classroom.
Lunch quickly comes, i walk into the caferteria and immediately spot Kayla at a table, swinging her hand in the air for me to see her.
i walk over and sit down.
"Hey."
"Hi." She says then takes a deep breath before speaking again
"Look, im totally new at this whole making friends thing, i suck at it, but i really wanna be your friend. So..."
"So?" I ask curious
"I got you a little something." She reaches for something in her bag beside her, taking out a rectangular box and handing it over to me.
"I can't."
"You haven't even seen it yet, open it."
Hesitantly I open it, the black rectangular box revealing a silver pen with my name carved on the side. '𝔼𝕝𝕝𝕖' A smile forming on my face.
"Thanks, it's perfect."
"It's the least i can do for all the trouble I've put you through yesterday.
I nod and close the box putting it in my bag.
"So, how are you finding this school so far?"
"Its okay, Its only my second day and im already stressed of all the work." I reply honestly
"What if i told you, that i have a great idea to solve that problem?"
"Im scared."
She giggles before speaking
"Well..., my brother's friend is throwing a party tonight, what do you say?"
"I don't do parties."
"Oh come on!, It will do you good, I'll be with you the whole time. Pleeeese?"
"Fine." I give in knowing i won't win this.
"Yesss!" She squeals in excitement.
The cafeteria goes still as other groups of teenagers stare in our direction. Kayla gives them a glare and they immediately look away and continue what they were doing at first.
She looks at me with a smirk, as we bust out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Zach asks as he slides in next to Kayla.
"Oh, nothing."
He rolls his eyes then takes a bite from his burger.
"Where are my manners?, I didn't even get a chance to introduce you guys yesterday, Zach this is-"
"Elle." He interupts kayla
"We met in chemistry." He says shooting me a glare
"You do chemistry?" Kayla asks surprised
"Yeah." i reply
"She shouldn't though, she's bad at it." Zach tells her reffering to the incident of earlier when i couldn't even answer a simple question.
Kayla hits him on the arm, giving him an intense glare. They glare at each other for a full minute
"Are you guys twins? I ask, trying to release the tension.
Zach snaps his head in my direction, hurt on his face but he quickly covers it up.
"I'll see you later." he says nonchalantly to Kayla then gets up and leaves.
Kayla nods, When he leaves she gives me an apologetic look before speaking
"We're not twins, yes we're both in 11th grade, but we do different subjects. Zach started school one year late. He's suppose to be a senior."
"Oh."
The bell rings indicating that lunch is over.
"I'll pick you up at eight?"
"Sure." I reply
I stop at my locker to get my English notebook and walk to class
"This assignment will take place throughout the entire year as it is the only assignment we'll be doing this year, each term we'll do something and by the end of the year the assignment will be completed. Ill be pairing you guys in pairs of two, the person you get paired with will be the person you work with throughout the whole year. Ill be handing out the task for this term at the end of the period."
The class remains silent listening attentively. I sigh and keep my head down as Mrs.Young goes around calling out the pairs.
"Kyle and Tammy, Gabbie and Jack, Alexa and Nicole... Zach and Elle."
I stiffen in my seat, still looking down, after a minute I hear a seat being pulled up beside me. I look up to see Zach, a smirk on his face.
"I guess you're stuck with me princess."
