Polar Opposites Chapter 9
On Monday in art class, I was surprised that Liam came and sat beside me. He also started a conversation with me first. I don't know why, but I was glad that he was starting to feel comfortable around me. Even if it was just a little bit.As soon as art class was finished, I packed up my bag quickly and run to catch Liam before he disappeared again."Hey, do you want to eat lunch with me today?" I asked Liam as soon as I was near him."I normally eat outside by myself." He answered."I know that, but eat with us today. It's just my best friend and I. She is great. You will like her."He looks at me, deliberating for quite some time, before he responds. "Okay." I smile widely at his response."Great. Come on then." I said and we walk to the cafeteria. We ordered our lunch and I walk over to my seat where Bethany was already sitting. Liam followed behind me."Beth, Liam is joining us for lunch today." I said to Beth as soon as I reach the table. She looks up at Liam and gives him a warm

When I went home that day, I went upstairs to put my bag down and I went down into our basement to retrieve the things that I would need to paint.At school, I had decided that I was going to paint a picture of a cat and give it to Liam. I remember that he said that he wanted to paint a picture of a cat because he loved cats. After getting the equipment and tools, I brought them to the spare room that was rarely used and set them up. I brought out the paints that I will need and began painting.I was painting for half an hour, when I heard the door opening. My mom stepped through the door."Hey sweetie. What are you doing?" She asks as she steps closer to me."I'm painting a picture." I respond and continue with my work."Okay. Is it for class?" "No. I'm painting it for a friend." I reply."Oh, that's nice." She steps beside me to look at the painting. "Is that a cat?""Yeah. He likes cats." I supply. "He? So it's a boy?" She lifts her eyebrows at me. I nod. "Who is this boy? Do I k

The next day at school, I was walking down the hall, when I saw Liam at his locker. I walk up to him, "Hey." I said in greeting. He looks around at me and looks back around. He then slams his locker and walks away.I was stunned. I was frozen to my spot. What was that about? I hurry and catch up with him."Liam, what's the matter?" I ask. He ignores me. "What's wrong? Please talk to me." He continues to walk down the hallway, like I wasn't even there."Liam-?" Before I could say anything else, he turns into his classroom. I stopped at the door, more confused than ever. Okay. What just happened?Turning away, I left him alone and went to my first period class.----------"He totally ignored me, when I asked what was wrong." I relayed to Beth at lunch."Maybe he's tired of you and wants some space." She speculated.I shook my head, "I don't think so. I think he hates me for something. When he looked at me, I could see the hatred and disappointment in his eyes.""Do you remember doing

Today was Friday and Beth and I had gone to the movies after school. Liam was still not talking to me. He had passed me in the hallway and I did the same. He had said I shouldn't talk to him and I was respecting his wishes.I had told Beth at school today, what Nate had done and I had to calm her down and stop her from 'twisting his neck'. That's what she said she would do anyways. She almost did it at lunch too. Nate had passed our table and made a snide comment about what he did and Beth had shot up instantly to go after him, but Brian had held her waist to prevent her from getting into trouble. She was really angry.Now, the movie was finished and we were walking from the theatre."Hey, want to come over to my house?" She asks as we stood outside the building."I can't. My dad is coming home and I want to be there." I said."Okay. See you then. I'll call you later." "Bye." I said as I got a taxi to go home.When I got home, I saw that my dad was already there by the suitcase I sa

"I had a brother." He finally began. "He was eight years older than me and we were very close. Mason and I would do everything together. I looked up to him." He stops for a while and closes his eyes as if remembering. I placed my hand on his. He opens his eyes and looks at me. He smiles softly in appreciation, then continues. "When I was eight and he was sixteen, I wanted a new video game that had just came out, so I begged him to take me to the video store. Being the kind of person he was, he agreed to drive me.""We were in the car and on our way to the store, when all of a sudden a car came out of nowhere. Everything happened in slow motion and I don't remember much, but I remember the car hitting the driver's side of my brother's car, flipping it over." He continues. I gasp in shock."I don't know anything after that, because I was knocked out and became unconscious instantly. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. I asked the doctor how my brother was and he told me that he didn

In art class on Monday, I went and sat beside Liam. He smiles when he saw me. We held a small conversation, until Mr. Weir came to class."Good morning class, today you are going to be given an assignment that you will be doing in pairs." Mr. Weir said, while putting some papers down on his desk. "I want you to create a sketchbook and you are going to fill the spaces with your work and drawing of your choice. Use your sketchbook as a place to let out your ideas and thoughts.""The purpose of this assignment is to strengthened your drawing skills, encourage you to look harder at things, use your imagination, explore techniques that interest you and challenge you." He continues. "Now, your sketchbooks are due in two weeks on the Friday class. No excuses."Mr. Weir then allowed us to select our partners. It was not hard for me, because I already knew who I was going to work with. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked around on my right side to see Amanda Gillies. "Do you want to be m

"I really hate my biology class." I heard Beth said, as she walks up to me and leans on the locker beside mine with a sigh. "Why does Mr. Troupe has to be so boring?"First period had just ended and I was getting my books. I looked at her and laugh. "I don't know. Maybe it's because he's old." I guess, shrugging."Well, it's time he retires and stop boring us with his monotone voice." Beth groans.I close my locker and smile. "Well look at the bright side, we are going to history class now." I pull on her arm. "Come on." She smiles. I knew she would, because she loves history."By the way, what is up with Liam?" She asks as we walk to class.I frown at her. "What are you talking about?" I ask."In biology class a while ago, he seems distracted. I ask him what was wrong and he just brushes it off." She explains."I don't know, but I noticed it too when he came to my house yesterday. He got a text and then he got upset." I reply."Are you going to ask him?" She ask."He didn't answer yo

The following day after school, Liam and I were at his house working on our assignment. Liam had showed me what he drew so far and to be honest, it was amazing. He was really getting better at it. I also showed him my sketches and we decided on what we were drawing next.We were currently in Liam's room, sitting on the floor and working on our second sketches. We decided to step it up to something harder.We were drawing for about half an hour, when I looked over at Liam's book to see how he was doing. As soon as I look over, he covers the sketch with his hands. "You can't see it." He said as I tried to take a peek."Why?" I asked pouting."Because it's not good." He answers. "Okay, okay." I said, holding my hands up in surrender and turn away. As soon as he removes his hands and became distracted, I grab the book away from him and stood up quickly."Hey!" He said, getting up from the floor and trying to grab the book back."Come on, just one peek." I said. I hold the book tight to

"Is Liam going to the prom with you on Friday?" Bethany asks me as we walk to our mathematics class.I shrug. "I don't think so. Dances are not his scene. He told me that before.""Oh okay." Beth said."If he doesn't want to go, I understand. I'm not going to hold that against him. I'm still going to go to prom and enjoy myself." I said, smiling at her.She grins back. "Oh yes and remember that you are a prom queen nominee." She said in a singsong voice.I groan when she said that. I didn't really care for prom queen, but Jasmine had nominated me when I was in the hospital. I didn't even know. I was shocked when I heard my name being called over the intercom as a prom queen nominee last month. I didn't even campaign because I didn't care to win.After a while Jasmine adds. "By the way, I snuck in and saw the work you guys did on the decorations. I like it." She compliments."Yes it is." I said smiling in reminiscence at the work we had done.A month back, I had went to help Simone wit

Julia's POVI awoke the next morning, feeling more rested. As soon as I open my eyes, I find Liam watching me.I stretch and smile at him. "Were you watching me sleep?" I ask."Yes." He said, returning my smile. "I love watching you."My smile broaden at his comment. I then look over at the table near the window. It was laden with get-well cards and flowers. I saw them yesterday, but was too tired to really look at them.Liam follows my line of sight and looks at the flowers as well. "A lot of your friends visited and brought those." He explains. He then points at a bunch of purple flowers. "Those are from me.""There are all beautiful." I said quietly.He then gestures to the room. "And this room that you are in, is courtesy of my dad. He paid to have you moved into this comfortable room with everything you need."My eyes widen. "Your dad paid for this room?" He nods. "Wow...I guessed I really missed a lot." I didn't know that he was talking to his dad again."Yeah. He came yesterday

Liam's POVAnother day has passed and now today was Wednesday. After school, I decided to go to the park, just to think about things. It was very hard to go through something like this again. However, no matter how heartbroken and devastated I am, I will never turn my back on her. I will never leave her. I know deep down that she needs me more than ever.I soon left the park and went to the hospital. I pass Julia's parents in the hallway, as they both headed to the hospital's cafeteria. They both had left work early and was here since then. After talking to them a little bit, I went up to Julia's room. I walk over to the chair that was beside her bed and sit down.I was in the room for ten minutes, when I hear a light knock on the door. I look towards the doorway and see that it was my mother. She begins to walk towards me and I get up to meet her halfway."Liam, your father is here to see you." She said. I was about to tell her that he was the last person I wanted to see right now, b

Even though, I didn't want to, I knew that I had to, because I couldn't keep skipping school. I was currently at home getting ready for school. I still hadn't eaten a full meal, only small bites and my mother was beginning to worry about me.As soon as I was ready, I got in my car and drive to school. When I reach school, I park in the parking lot and get out. I enter the school building and walk to my locker. Students in the hallway gave me looks; some were sympathetic and some were just blank. I held my head straight and ignore them. I didn't feel like dealing with anyone right now.I get my books out of my locker and went to my first class of the day. Mathematics was one of my favourite subjects, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't concentrate. My maths teacher was currently expla

Liam's POVThe following day was Friday and Julia still hadn't woken up. There was no improvement; her condition was the same. Yesterday, I had went home to have a shower, changed my clothes and bring back anything that I would need. I came back to the hospital right after.My mother had called me to try and convince me to go to school today, but I still refused. Surprisingly, she didn't argue with me. Julia's parent hadn't been to work either. They had asked for two days off. Beth and Brian did not go to school today either, but Brian had took Beth home to get some things.I was currently sitting on the chair that I had been on since I got to the hospital. I suddenly look up to see Dr. Barnes walking towards us.He greets us with a smile. "Julia can be visited by friends now." He relates. I nod my head at him, before he walks away again. I get up from my seat and begin to walk towards room 205.When I reach the door, I open it and step inside the room. Instantly, my eyes went to Juli

Liam's POVIt was now around 7pm and I was still at the hospital. I didn't plan on leaving, not until Julie wakes up.Julia's mom was asleep on the chair that she was on. Her father had went home to get some blankets to bring here. Beth was asleep as well. Her head was placed in Brian's lap, who was stroking her hair gently. He looks tired as well."Liam!" I hear my mother's voice. I look down the corridor and saw her walking towards me. I had called her earlier and informed her about what had happened. She said she would be here as soon as she left work.I stand up to meet her. She wraps her arms around me in a hug, when she reaches me. "I'm so sorry, honey." She said quietly. She pulls away and looks at me with a sad expression. "How is she? Have you heard anymore news?"I sigh and shoves my hands in my pants pockets. "No. No development." I answer, my voice cracking a bit."Oh honey." Her eyes then trails over to where Julia's mother lay, still asleep. "I can imagine what her mothe

Liam's POVAs soon as I left my mother's work place, I drove in the direction of Julia's house.I smile when I thought about her. This girl has really changed me. Changed me back into who I was before and maybe more. She has that effect on people. She is sweet, kind and she cares about people. I like that about her. I have always pushed people away before, so I never knew that I could like someone this much. She makes me so happy.Her natural cheerfulness and excitement is contagious. I don't know how she does it. Her easy smile, that lights up her entire face, makes my heart race every time. I don't know what this girl is doing to me, but I know that I have never felt this way before.I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend today at school, but my phone rang and then that girl came along and I didn't want to ask her in a rush. I wasn't even scared to make that commitment, because I'm sure about how I feel about her. She is everything to me and I'm going to let her know that.I fin

At the end of the day on Wednesday, I was standing by my locker waiting on Liam. He had told me this morning that he had something to ask me and I was curious as to what it was.Finally, I see him walking towards me. When he reaches where I stood, he smiles at me. Before I could get a word out, he wraps his hands around my waist and kissed me.Even though, he took me by surprise, I melted into the kiss. The kiss did not last long, as he pulls away a few seconds later. He takes my hand in his and smiles down at me. I look at him quizzically."So, I know tha-" he began, but was cut off by the ringing of his phone.He gives me an apologetic smile, before he fished his phone out of his pocket. "Hello." he said into the receiver. He talked to the person for a few seconds, before he hangs up."That was my mom." He said, putting the phone back into his pocket. "She has left some documents at home. She can't leave the office, so she asked me if I can go get them and bring them to her." He exp

The following day, I got ready for school quickly and went downstairs to the kitchen. I saw my father in the kitchen as soon as I entered."Good morning Dad." I greet."Morning Julie." Dad responds as he poured himself a glass of orange juice."Where is Mom?" I ask as I got a bowl, the milk and the box of cheerios."Your mother has already left for work." He informs. As soon as I finish making my cereal, I sat down at the kitchen island to eat.I look up at Dad, who was now at the sink, rinsing out his glass. "So, aren't you going to work?" I ask. Normally, he would have left by now."I'm going in late today." He replies, turning off the tap. He then turns to me and smiles. "That's good isn't it? That means we can have a father-daughter time." He teases."Dad, I have school." I said, even though I knew he was joking. That was who Dad was. People would say that I got my cheerfulness and happy-go-lucky personality from him. Which is true."Oh yeah." He said, faking a sigh. "So much for
