Chapter 5 " Lunch time, and a show."

 

 

Willow P.O.V.

After that weird and confusing incident in Mr. Edwards's class with the guy Maryann was in love with, she hurt her by leaving and not explaining what happened that I needed to know. But for right now, I am hungry, and I need food. 

Once we got our lunch, I got myself apple juice, a turkey and cheese sandwich, and grapes, and Maryann got a slice of pizza, diet Coke, and chocolate chip cookies.

 I hope she shares them. But she made them at home, so I hope she brought them for me and me to eat.

"I hope you brought me a cookie?" I asked her hopefully and with my eyes staring down at her Fancy Chocolate Chip bag with Peanut Butter Cookies. 

Once we started eating our lunch, I started eating her wonderful homemade cookies. The lunch period was almost over, but I wanted to talk to her about what happened to Mr. Edwards.

I was sitting on the ground across from her, and she wasn't looking at me; she was looking down. She knew I wanted to talk because she let out a sigh and started speaking.

 

Don't speak. I know what you're going to say, and yes, we had a thing in ninth grade before he moved away, and yes, he was gentle, and no, I am not a virgin."

"That's what you wanted to know." She said, tears in her eyes, and her eyes were red from tearing up. I know I should have never listened to him." But, God, I was so stupid I was giving something not freely!" She said, crying. 

I didn't want to see her crying, so I pulled her into a hug, and I could feel my body heating up, angry from how he treated her and just left and not saying why and never keeping in touch. 

Maryann, I am so sorry; if you had told me, I could help you." So I told her, still hugging her in my arms. 

I could hear her upset, and I felt so sorry for her. I don't know what to do if someone did that to me. I would act like she didn't want to date and hated men. But thank God she is okay now.

But, deep down inside, she isn't okay. I hope he doesn't try to bring old memories up for her with the pain he left her and used her and threw her away like the next meal and went on to the next like she was nothing to him.

Hey, look at me. I tell her. She looked up, and I saw something. I wanted to kick his butt for hurting my cousin like that. But, what I saw I never saw with her broken and shattered. 

I never want ever to see that again.

"Willow, I know he's here to get back at me. But I don't know why?" I never did anything to him except love-"

She stopped, and I saw her shake her head. I sighed.

"Hey, everything will be okay," I told her.

"Yeah, your right." She said with a smile.

We talked briefly, and then the bell rang because lunch was over. But before I started to pack up, I had a weird feeling someone was watching me, but I didn't know at the time would be something I would find out later on. 

So, I cleaned up my garage and threw it away. Maryann told me she talked to me in the eighth-period study hall. I said okay, and we said our goodbyes, and she walked left, and I walked straight inside the school. She had a gym, and it was outside today, my last class.

I went inside my locker and changed books, but then someone slammed my locker on me.

I gasped when I saw who it was; I saw him smirking and walking past me.

"See you later, nerd." I heard Race and his buddies laughing.

Why does he have to be so mean to me? I never did anything to him and others.

 So, my parents always told me to ignore the bullies, and then they will get tired of me. That's what they think. But with Race and Bryce and them, they never ease up tormenting me.

 

What an asshole, I thought with an eye roll. I started doing my locker, and finally, it came open, and I started walking to my next class before the bell rang, and I didn't want to be late.

 

 

 I walked inside the classroom, and I felt cold air run up my body when I saw Race Collins, and I knew he was waiting for me to sit by him. How did I know he was holding the last chair?

Oh, God, the look in his eyes tells me what I was afraid of...

"I told you I get you," he mouthed, and I could feel my body shaking, and I had cold chills. It's bad enough he almost chopped my finger off when he slammed my locker shut, and now he is in my class, and now the only seat is right beside him.

I sighed when I saw the seat close to him.

That's just peachy, I thought with Annoyed.

But I had no choice; I had to sit back and pray the class would be over fast. 

Then I started walking around, and I saw the expression on his face. He was smug, smirking, and proud of himself that I had to sit back there with the guy I couldn't stand, who was cruel to me and called me names.

Once I got where he was and my seat. I heard him speak low. Only I and I could listen to it.

"Hey, nerd, your mine now, for the whole period, and I can do anything I want to you, and no one will stop me.'' He said, chuckling, and I felt him pull my seat closer. I gasped when I felt his hand on my lap, and he squeezed hard on my thigh.

I started to look around, and I felt like I wanted to pass out and get out of there before something awful happened to me, just him and me in the back where no one close by except a girl on the other side not paying attention and another guy two seats in front of us.

 I swallowed in my throat because whatever happened, no one would hear me calling for help.

 After all, I would be dead before someone stopped him.
