Math Class

Jeremy POV:

When I get back from the party, I couldn't sleep all night. I was repeating his words," I would think about that later" and I wonder he just said like that or if he really thinking about how to revenge me.

So the most strangely thing happened to me the next morning. Getting up late and dark circles under my eyes.

During the breakfast, my mom asked me about my dark circles but my thoughtful sister answered instead of me.

" Oh, he got too much fun at the party, and maybe he couldn't sleep all night just thinking about what happened at the party." 

I glared at her but she rolled her eyes at me.

"So, what happened in the party last night, darling?" she asked me while passing me a glass of milk.

" Nothing happened mom, I saw my old friend from our old town."

"Oh, that's great. Now you are not alone in the new school anymore. I am very happy for you too."

"Oh yes, a bitch pretending to be a bookworm is making a friend with my brother" her words sounded sarcastic.

" Enough teasing your brother and mind your words. Now it is getting late for school. Bye Bye and have a nice day, my two darlings." What a good mommy she is? And I love her the most in my whole life.

When I arrive school, I wish my body would get smaller and praying he might not see me. What a good luck! The first class is math class and I am hundred percent sure that he would not be in the class because I have never seen him there before.

So I got into the class smoothly and sit at my own seat alone because what my class mates want from me is my homework but no one wants to sit with me. But this is also a good thing too because having too many people to communicate means you have got too many hours to pretend and say good things without your own desire.

When the bell rings, Mr. Peterson, our math class teacher came in and told us to submit our homework. Suddenly, I feel like the day's light went out of me because I saw him walking into the class without greeting the teacher and hands in his pockets.

Everyone was surprised and watched him walking into the class, girls are drooling but boys are jealous. But here I am feeling like frightening and running my favorite class and hiding away from him.

With a smug look he walked to my seat and sit beside me that cause some girls dissatisfied including my sister. 

The teacher asked him to submit his homework but he said " Sorry Mr. Peterson, I was busy with the match you know and I promise you that I would submit it tomorrow."

Is this even possible, he hasn't submitted his homework since the very first class and it is impossible to do it in a night, I think to myself but didn't say out loud because I have already get a lesson from my previous mistake.

The teacher just gave a look," if only you can" but saying nothing and continue the class.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my thigh but I tightly shut my mouth because I didn't want to make a scene. 

" You looked so miserable, why there is two dark circles under your eyes? You couldn't sleep last night?" he said those while rubbing my thigh with his rough hands.

" Of course not, I was just reading a book and I got addicted to it that's why I go to bed late."

" That's what you just say, we will see it tonight."

Tonight! Why? As I am going to ask him Mr. Peterson suddenly called my name." Jeremy come and solve this problem." 

I keep the questions for myself as I stand up from my seat and walk to the board but this pervert beside me slapped my butt and pretend like it was an accident.

But I am very sure that it was not an accident because it is him.

When I am calculating the problem I couldn't solve it and Mr. Peterson said " Jeremy this is the first time seeing you unable to solve a problem which is easier compared to those you calculated in two minutes."

He looked disappointed in me but I couldn't give in an answer that I have been sexually harassed because no one won't believe it.

I go back to me seat and sit down but Mr. Peterson won't let it go just like that.

" Today there is two strange things happened in our class. First, the lost boy come back to class and second, our genius couldn't solve the problem. So I wonder if these two things connect to each other. Did you bully Jeremy, Mr. Walker?"

"Of course not, I am just turning myself to a good person because someone told me that I am a scumbag and I don't know the problem that Jeremry couldn't solve the problem has something to do with me or not?"

" Of course, it has nothing to do with James. I just didn't get enough sleep. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Peterson." I replied althought I know my best that everything has to do with the bastard.
