CHAPTER 3

It's already been three days since I started going to hurricane high school, it's also been three days since I've been going for therapy during lunchtime, honestly, things have been going smooth, I wasn't much of a low mood, I've been pretty cool, I and Clara has been hitting it good, hanging out during lunch and going to class, oh! Did I mention that I have been popular since the last incident between me and Justin, thank god they don’t attended class often so I haven’t seen him and his friends and hoping not to meet them, not that I’m scared or anything, I just don’t want to have anything do with them.

I walked toward the hallway, heading to my locker, as I passed by people turned around, some waved, some greeted me, some guy gave my flirty looks, some girls didn’t bother to hide their hate towards me, I didn’t respond to any of the greetings or expressions, I just minded my business and walked to my locker, I opened my locker, looking for what I needed for class.

“Hey nyinna!”, I turned and saw Clara leaning on my locker with some guy I was too busy to notice

“Hey bitch” I said grinning at her,

“where is my candy, no story babe, you promised me” I smirked at her

“cool your hot pant babe “, she laughed, opened her bag searching for the candy, she brought it out, they were all inside a very little jar

“take, I got your much, “she said removing one and giving me the rest

“Aww you're such a sweetie, you could ha....” I was interrupted by a cute guy with dyed mint hair and brown eyes, from his looks could tell he was an Asian guy.

“Okay ladies, you're not going to act like I'm not here,” he said raising his eyebrows at us, I smiled

Clare smack him head “hey min, you were supposed to wait for me to introduce you,” she says smiling playfully

“hi I'm nyinna” I stretched my hands towards him

“I'm min and you are gorgeous” he lifted my hands to his lips

I smiled “thanks “

“Okay, nyinna this is min, he is my only friend I told you about, and he is a Korean but was brought up in here, min this is nyinna, the one that helped me, remember I told you about her, she is very sensitive, so you have got to be careful, but she is sweet,” she says winking at me

“I talk a lot “I smirked at Clara, she pouted back at me

Min chuckled “I like her already Clara,” he says smiling at me

“I like you too, except if you're going to be an ass”, I said grinning at him, and he laughed, I check my wrist watch and discovered we had few minutes before the first period

“Clara what do you have this morning “I asked her checking my timetable

She groaned “literature I hate. Mrs. Sanchez's class, God, yuck “

I chuckled “same, but we will be fine right, let get out of here”

I closed my locker, as we head to our literature class, laughing and joking, then I noticed that people were paving way in the hall I almost thought it was for us, I was so confused until I looked straight and saw Justin, Noah, and Solomon coming, towards us, oh that is right they were only the ones capable of causing such commotions, even though I’m the only one seeing this as commotion I kept on moving not caring to make way for them, we all paid the same school fee, so everyone should keep their pride to themselves, I turned back and noticed Clara and min wasn't following me, I frowned

“hey! What happened” I said looking at them, they looked at me not saying anything,

“what the hell, you do not want to follow these dumb disciples right?” I said looking pissed, pointing at the people as the made way for Justin and his friends

But Clara opened are mouth like she wanted to say something then close it back

“Well, well, well, new girl, do you want to wrestle this hallway with me? “, Justin said behind me, I snort and turned, I folded my arms and glared at him and his friends not saying anything

” What happened to your mouth sweetie, cat got your lips”, he says chuckling making Solomon burst into laughter along with the whole school, and of course Noah had to act like he wasn’t interested. I’m beginning to hate these guys, I could lose my senses and decide to stab these guys,

But with what, I sure do imagine funny things

I stepped forward closing the gap between us and poked his chest

” first, idiot, keep your nicknames to yourself, my name is nyinna, secondly, guy if you’re trying to speak reasonable English, I think the right English is, cat got your tongue not lips,” I said smirking at his stupidity

The whole school burst into laughter

“are you trying to shine or what, because you are so lame,” he says getting pissed

“come on man, damn!!, the capacity of my brain is going to reduce by the time I'm done talking to you,” I said smacking my head

“then go cry to your mama, “he said sarcastically

“That what? You're ugly? sure will do that” I snort and eyed him up and down

Just as he was about to respond, an Orange-headed brunette walked towards us and grab Justin arm

“come on, Justin leave this slut, she's trying to trap you, tell her you are not interested in sluts, you’re only interested in me, she glared at me, dragging Justin, I pushed my leg on the way, so she's going to trip, and it's worked, she fell hitting her belle on the floor, making the whole school laughed, if I wanted to trap someone it can’t be Justin.

“hi bimbo, learn how to have respect,” I bend low, grinning wickedly at her, I stood up and drag Clara and min away from there to our class,

“I’m not a bimbo, Justin tell her” she shouted

“Whatever makes you sleep, I shouted back

Clara kept on laughing, while min had his jaw dropped, he was stunned, he never expected me to challenge Justin

“What? Don't stare at me like that,” I said looking at min

“I thought Clara said your sensitive,” he said still surprised

“you're so wild,” he said

“yeah I am, he just spoiled my mood,” I say picking the candy Clara gave me from my jean pocket and throwing it into my mouth

We got into the classroom, and Mrs. Sanchez was still drooling, I don't know if there is a day Mrs. Sanchez is not sleeping, since have been having her class, I always walk into the class meeting her sleep, I wonder what she does every night, I have started believing she loves sleeping more than anything, I took a seat beside the window around the middle rows with min and Clara beside me , a few minutes later other student started trooping in and that woke Mrs. Sanchez up, and she started teaching

“So this year we are going to be focusing on Romeo and Juliet, alongside with tales of two cities, but we're going to start with Romeo and Juliet first,” she said, yawning clearly still recovering from her sleep, Immediately the whole class started murmuring, well it seems like I'm not the only one who hates that book, I actually hated books in general, I only think about music since I want to be an artist, so the only books I read are music kind of books

“if the latecomers aren't Justin, Solomon, and Noah, then the day isn't complete,” she says pulling me out of my thought, I looked at the door and rolled my eyes

“That was so sweet of you, Mrs. Sanchez,” Justin said in a sarcastic manner

“Why does your hat look like my cat own,” Solomon says trying to act serious

The whole class burst into laughter including me though, I wonder why I never noticed the hat, it wasn't that awful, it's just looked a little awkward, and once again Noah acts like he isn’t interested.

Mrs. Sanchez was already furious “go and settle down,” she says and continued teaching

Justin passed my seat and glare at me, with that I knew I got a lot to deal with

------------------------------------------------------------------------------––———·------------------

Finally, the school ended for the day, it almost felt like two days in a row, after what happened in the morning I felt so down I wasn't in the mood for anything, min wasn't happy, for the fact that we just meet and we haven't even known each other much and I was already moody, but he was pretty nice, he forced me to eat and tried cheering me

I walked to the school park, I got a new Toyota car, dad felt he didn't need to come to pick me from school, so he got me one yesterday, it’s a brand new car, I’m glad he considered my feelings, I honestly won’t like my dad coming to pick me up every day. I press the car control key to unlock the door, I opened the door and sat down, I took my notepad and started writing a song while waiting for Clara, she wanted to try out the school dance team and I promised to take her home

“Hey Clara” a voice pulled me out of my writing section, I looked up and saw Noah, I frown, what does he want, he even got my name wrong, at least he could talk, I was starting to believe he couldn’t talk

“Hello? I'm nyinna not Clara, “ I said frowning

“yah, that is true” he chuckled, I rolled my eyes,

“may I help you” I said looking at him

“I’m just trying to be friendly, because of Justin, you know, we haven't been able to make a good impression towards each other” he said smiling and scratching his head, looking around my car as if he was looking for something in my car

“really” I looked at him doubtfully

“well you have to wait I'm writing, and I hate disturbance, wait till I'm done, " I said returning to what I was doing, he came closer and looked at what I was writing

“wow you write songs, do you also sing,” he asked smiling, I nodded

“wow same as Justin, that cute “, I rolled my eyes hearing Justin

“good for you,” I said feeling uninterested, he kept on looking around my car

“Eh… Are you looking for someone?” I asked.

“Emm not really, your friend Clara” he blushed, I frowned, I really wish right now I could turn that blushed to color red means anger, maybe slapping him won’t be bad

“I thought you were never interested, what you deal” I asked him

“Hey nyinna, Gunshot” Clara shouted as she was running down to the pack, I looked at her and turned back to Noah, his face was already red, does he like Clara, then why couldn’t he at least support her

“get in” I unlocked the doors for her to enter, and we pulled out of the school while chatting

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Braaaaaaa, braaaaaaa, I stood up from the couch and drop the bowl of cornflake on small glass table in the center of the living room and walked to the side table where the house phone was to pick the incoming call

“hello this is Wilson resident can I help you” I said

Caller: “Mr. Wilson just got an accident!”

Me: what” ...........
