ARE YOU OKAY!?

When I got my schedule for the day, I had many classes to go. First was English, then Maths, then Language, then Arts. But my heart stopped when I saw Chemistry class. With Chase. I couldn't do it. He hates me and is rude, and I like him.

"Let's go, girl! It's time for English" Harper said hanging his hand on my shoulder. People stared as he did.

"Yeah" I passes few people I knew, so I said hi to them as we went to the class.

English class was getting more boring everyday, because they taught what I had already learnt. Maths class was as usual as everyday, just numbers, which were confusing to me at times. Arts was something that amused me a lot, it seemed easy, but was difficult to master.

When I went to the Chemistry class, I saw Mr. Rude already seated at our table. He stared at me continuously. I silently went to the table and sat down.

"It's school, you know?" he said suddenly.

"Yeah, I know. Why do you ask?" I asked puzzled.

"Getting ready like it's some party, make-up and all" he said irritated, for no reason.

"Well, it's my body, my clothes, my face. Why does it bother you!? You hate me? Okay, but do you have to be so rude? If you hate me, just stay away!! Can't you?!" I said angrily.

He went silent. I was to angry to be worried that I talked to my crush that way.

"Another thing, do you really hate me so much? That you cant stand to be in the same room as me? Getting sick?" At this point tears were exploding out of my eyes.

But Chase just got up and strode out of the room. But I was getting my answers today. It's been weeks since I got here. And he was still so cold to me. I went behind him.

I saw him out of the campus near the woods. I went to him.

"I....I'm sorry" I said, not knowing why.

He didn't turn to face me and stood silently.

"I...I'm sorr..."

"You're sorry! Why!" he cut me off.

"I don't know, just...."

"Listen, Mia, it's better if you stay away from me."

"Why!? We...we can be friends!"

"No, we can't be. Just....just stay away from me, okay? It's for your own good"

"Chas..."

He went into the school and got into his car, and drove it away. I was left thinking what wrong I did.

I went into the school. At time of going home, I asked Sophie to come to the bar with me. I was just very sad and confused. She agreed.

I asked my parent's permission to go out. Didn't say where. But they agreed. I wore a black classic dress and went to pick Sophie.

We went to the bar out of the town. We went into the bar that was full of people, men and boys mostly.

We ordered beers, and danced. Sophie talked to a boy while I went to get the beers.

"Listen....this boy's taking me to his home. Can you got to home yourself?" she asked when I returned.

"Yeah sure, be careful Sophie!"

"I will" she said chuckling.

And she went away. I got out of the bar, and went to the parking. I felt someone following me. I turned around to find no one.

Still I felt someone was following me. When I turned around, there were three middle aged men with drinks in their hands.

"Hey, girl, come drink with us."

"Get away!"

They neared me as I stepped back.

"Come on we'll have fun, gorgeous!"

"I think she's new here" said one of them.

"That's better" other said.

"Go away or I'll call the police."

"No police can save you from us!"

They neared me. Tears started dropping from my eyes. Just as one of them tried to touch me, a huge hand slapped his face from behind me. I turned around to find Chase.

"Are you okay!?" he asked worriedly.

"Ye...yeah"

He warned the guys to go away, and surprisingly, they did.
