New Girl - (7)

I walk in the class and I see Elvis sitting on his seat, I didn't want to sit behind him so I went and sat on the other empty desk. He looked at me and I could feel his eyes on me till I was actually seated on my new spot.

'Class take out your books and open to page 115, today we are going to be doing a exercise so please go and find yourselves a group of two' Mrs. Peran said.

I look around; everyone was getting up from their seat finding themselves a partner. I didn't bother getting up or even asking anyone. I wasn't in any mood to do English work.

'Sarah, people won't come to you! You have to get up and ask someone' Mrs. Peran said.

I look around again 'I don't see anyone...' I say, I couldn't see Elvis and tell you the truth I wasn't looking for him either.

'Well than you will have to work on your own!' She said in an angry voice, okay so now this teacher hated me.

'Oka...' I was going to say something when Elvis went up to Mrs. Peran.

'May I go to the washroom?' He said, ignoring me.

'Yes you may, whose in your group?' She asks.

'I don't have anyone yet' He said as he starts leaving the class.

'Well than you and Sarah can work together, even though you two cause a lot of trouble together' she said in a hard voice. I look at her surprise and then I look at him, he was surprise too I could tell that he was thinking the same thing as I was.

'Is okay...I will work alone' I said giving her my sweetest smile.

'Yeah same' Elvis said looking at me and than her.

'Suit yourself but this will be hard' She said as she went around the class.

'Thank god...' I murmured under my breath.

'What did you say?' Elvis asks looking at me.

'Huh? Nothing...' I say to him as he leaves the class.

Afterschool...

So I am walking down the hallway to the detention room when I hear a bang on the locker, I turn around and realize that is Elvis about to punch someone face. I can't see the person since he is facing the other way.

I stand there and stare at what is happening there is no one in the hall just me and those two.

'I told you to give me the stuff back!' Elvis yelled at the guy who he was holding by the collar.

'I don't have it!' The guy said, I don't know why but I knew this voice but I didn't understand whose it is not till the guy turns around.

'George?' I said looking at them surprise. I guess I said it loud because both of them were looking at me now.

'What the heck are you doing to him?' I ask Elvis as he lets George go.

'Go away...' Elvis said as he keep his eyes on George.

'No you leave him alone!' I said looking at him angry; I couldn't believe that he was bullying him.

'Sarah! Stay out of this!' George yells and when I say yell I mean it!

'But...'

'LEAVE! I don't need you and don't try to get in this!' He said, I could feel tears coming out of my eyes and before I know it I was running towards the detention room, naturally I would run to my house but I didn't want another day of detension. I couldn't believe George just did this to me.

'Sign here' the detention lady said.

She didn't care if I was crying; I sign my name and go to the seat.

After a while Elvis walks in, he looks at me and goes on and sit beside me but he doesn't say anything and I don't too.

'Hey girl...your new here right?' Some guy calls from behind. I look back and see the same guys that I saw yesterday.

I don't answer because these people didn't look nice.

'So are you just going to shut up and not speak to us' the other guy said. I don't turn around and try to focus on the book. I hear footsteps from behind and soon someone was holding my shoulder.

'What you want!' I ask as I get this guy hands off myself.

'Let's go!' He says as he gets me up.

'Right!' I say as I kick him between his legs and he goes to the ground. I might look weak but I am not especially after John incident.

I go out the class and start to walk home, now I didn't care if I was going to get any more detention beside is not like anyone even likes in this new school.

'Wow that was something huh?' Elvis say as he catches up with me.

I don't answer and keep on going.

'You know...is not fun to ignore you' He said giving me a smile.

'I'm sorry for everything! And I am sorry for acting like a jerk' He says making a sad face.

'Is okay, I am over it..' - But I was not - 'why were you beating up George that’s something John would do!' again tears start rolling my eyes.

'He wouldn't give me my stuff back!' He says angry 'Can you just forget about this John! And stop comparing me to him!'

'I can't...you are just like him!'

'You do everything like him, you bully people, and you go after girls, you...' I was about to say more when out of nowhere he kisses me, this was so perfect. It was nothing like the last time I kissed him, it felt better as if I was kissing a new person.

'Please give me a chance' - He says looking into my teary eyes (I don't know why I was still crying) 'I like you a lot...your different, please let’s just go out?' He says looking at me with smile in his eyes.

'Okay...we can go out' I say taking a deep breath, I don't know if this was the right decision to make but it did feel right at least at that moment.

I go home and see Katie waiting for me in the kitchen with my mom.

'Hey...what are you doing here?' I ask confuse.

'I had to come see you' Katie said given me a weak smile. I smile back and we both go upstairs.

'So I talk to my counselor, she knows everything now!' She says, in a panic voice.

'That's good...what did she say? Is she going to help you?' I ask.

'Yeah, she told me to come see her every day and she also made an appointment for me to see the doctor' Katie say looking at me worried.

'I'm scared...what if she tells my parents or what if any of the girls find out' She adds.

'Ugh! Don't worry, everything has to be confidential but she might have to inform your parents' I tell her.

'NOOO!' - She said in panic voice 'They can't know about this! They are going to kill me'

'No they won't! Do you want to tell them? Before she does? Please that will be the right thing to do'

'But...they will...' She couldn't finish the sentence.

'Please...just do it and get over with it...I will come with you' I said giving her a smile.

'As a matter of fact! Let’s go right now; I am free till 8' I tell her.

'Where are you going at 8...? ?’ She asks confuse.

'Umm...just to meet my friend' I don't know why but I couldn't tell her the truth. I want to but then I remember how I was the one who told her not to go out with Elvis and now I am the one going out. She would never forgive me if she found out.

'Oh...okay let's go. Hopefully they will understand' She say in a tough voice. I was loving her; she is someone who is always happy about her things. Yes, she has problems but still she try to be positive.

We get up and go downstairs. I see Sally sitting on the sofa with a kitten in her hand. First I didn't understand what a cat was doing in the house but then I remember seeing a kitten just like her in our backyard.

'Sally, what are you doing with her' I ask confuse.

'I found her in the backyard; she was cold so I brought her inside. I think she likes it here' my grandma said proud about what she did.

'But...she could be someone’s' I remind her.

'No, I asked everyone and no one knows where she came from. All I know is that I’m keeping her unless the right owner shows up' She says playing with the cat.

'Sally, you will need to take care of her and your getting old! You can't do that now' I tell her.

'Yes I can dear, don't worry about me. I already took her to the vet and look at her face! You can't let this poor innocent girl out alone'

I look at the white face of the kitten and give Sally a smile. She was right, is she wanted a cat than who was I to stop her, an old lady can have her wish. Just when I was thinking this my dad shows up and gives me a hug.

'Wow! Dad I haven't seen in for a while' I say surprise.

'Yes, sorry I have been busy with work but aren't you glad to have your mom here' He says as he look at the kitten.

'Mom, what did you name her' He asks.

'When I name her, I’ll let you know' Sally says giving her son a smile.

'We need to have a talk' my dad says looking at me, upset now.

'Okay...but right now I am going to Katie's house. She needs help with things' I tell him as I make my way to the door.

'I'll be waiting for you at the breakfast table tomorrow' He tells me as he goes upstairs and I close the door behind me.

'I like your dad and your grandma' She says looking at me.

'Yeah...but sometime they can be surprising..' I tell her. This was true I mean common I didn’t expect a cat in the house.

'Why do you call her Sally? And not grandma?' She asks as we get in the car.

'Um...I don't know I like it that way beside it makes her feel young I think'

'Okay buckle up, next stop my house' She says as she put her seat belt on.
