Chapter 6

Dad's words kept on replaying in my mind' you caused everything. It's all your fault' what could I possibly have done. We never kept in touch. He left when mom was pregnant with me. I'm so baffled. Could he have said that just to make me feel bad but the look in his eyes told me otherwise. I saw flames of anger in his eyes but something else caught me off guard, I also saw pain.

The kind that won't go away. The kind you can't just forget about. I have no idea how I caused him pain. He's the one who actually caused me pain. Whatever he's going through he I hope he receives ten times the pain. He has hurt his family including mine.

He left mom the day she was in labour without so much as an explanation. He beats up Lex. Who knows who else he has hurt. As far as I know he has no right to be pitiful.

Lex pulled up in front of a school. My jaw literally dropped to the ground at the sight of it, the school was huge. No not even huge it was ginormous.

" Bye mom" Aaron said as he got out of the car. I got out too, still admiring the school.   " Thanks for the ride" I said to Lex. " You're welcome" she gave me a genuine smile this time. Bree didn't come with us. Her exact words were ' I wouldn't be caught dead coming to school with my mom'. Talk about a brat. She said something about her friend picking her up.   

  I bumped into a girl. She had black mouse hair and big blue eyes. " Watch where you're going" she said" Um... Sorry about that. Do you mind showing me around?".      " Yes I do" after that she run off. I sighed .

Why was I expecting people here to be nice. They're all from snobby rich homes. I surveyed the crowd of rushing students until I spotted a boy around my age. I tapped on his shoulder.

" Excuse me can you direct me to the principal's office" I said to boy who was probably around my age. He looked at me weirdly like he was sizing me up.

" Yeah sure" he led me to a room with a woman who was reading something on her computer intensely.

" Umm, Miss Ruben" the boy said.

" What? " She still kept her eyes on the keyboard, not paying any attention to me.

The boy simply rolled his eyes at her" Don't worry she does this to everyone, trust me" I

nodded in response.

" Miss Ruben, new student over here". I raised my eyebrows at him.

" You're obviously new if you don't know the principal's office." Right. I felt like facepalming myself.

I glimpsed at Miss Ruben again. She still didn't take notice of me. Wow. Was she deaf or something?

" MISS RUBEN! " this time the boy shouted at her. He really had guts to yell at his principal like that.

Miss Ruben finally raised her head up.

" Oh, you're the new student. Didn't see you there" like wtf.

" Anyway here's your schedule" she said handing me a piece of paper.

" Thanks so mu-" before I could finished she cut in." Yeah, Yeah , now get out of my office" The boy who happened to be still be right beside me snickered.

When we got out he said" Stick around longer and you'd get used it but you'd preferably want to give her the middle finger often". I couldn't help but laugh at his comment.

He glanced at my schedule. "Lucky for you, I also have Bio this morning. C'mon"

I followed him into a class of noisy teenagers. Some stared at me then went back in minding their own business.

" By the way my name's Chris. I'm officially giving you the permission to be my friend or whatever." He said all of a sudden.

" Excuse me, why in the world would I agree to that?"

" Because you're new and you're going to be lonely" he did not just say that.

" Say what now!"

" Oh c'mon look at me. I'm the literal image of a greek god" he started to flex and he was right he was super fit. What the hell am I saying?

" Okay so you don't want to be friends eh, so how about something much more" he whispered in my ear. I quickly pushed him off .

" Listen to me perv, I don't who you think you are, hell I don't know you at all" I said fuming. Boys at my old school tried to make moves at me but I made sure to get them thinking twice before they tried anything.

" Calm down tiger. I'm just kidding. Why don't you tell me your name? I've told you mine"

" I never asked for your name dude and why would I give you mine" I said whilst walking away, trying to get far away from him as possible. He ran up to me, clearly not getting the hint.

" Because we're friends. I can't be friends with you if I don't know your name." I groaned inwardly.

" We're not friends stupid. Now get out of my face before I freaking lose it" I clenched my teeth, trying to keep my cool.

" Alright. I get it, I'll leave you alone now" he said.

But he looked back with a smirk and said.   "Bestie"

That's all it took for him to get a book flying at his head.
