《You're Bittersweet (on hold)》Chapter 2
Advertisement
I walked into class and the teacher greeted us right as we walked through the door. "Welcome to math! choose a seat and choose wisely it'll be your seat for a while."
I smiled and chose to sit in front of Kasandra since she was my only friend? At the moment. After a couple of minutes the classroom was starting to fill in with the remainder of students.
I stared out the window and payed attention to the light droplets of rain that pattered onto the window. The teacher finally spoke. "Good morning, and welcome everyone to Math class I hope we all get along well this year and I hope that you feel welcomed into this classroom now to start off class today I will take attendance and play a short video afterward"
The teacher continued to talk and I could care less. I was just hoping time would go by quicker so I could go home sooner."Kasandra Ramirez?" The teacher looked up scanning the room for Kasandra "Present!"Shouted Kasandra."Thank you for being here miss Kasandra" "um Emory Garcia?" "No Emory Garcia?" The teacher scribbled out the name and marked the student as absent. "Isabel Rodriguez?" Silence. "Is Isabel Rodriguez present?" I felt a hard poke at my shoulder and I blinked a couple times confused as to what was going on. I realized the teacher had called my name. "Oh uh here!" I said feeling a little embarrassed. "Pay more attention next time Miss Rodriguez Okay?" I nodded and mumbled a quiet "sorry"
The teacher finished attendance and pressed play on the video. Just an introduction to math and the things we'd be learning through the semester. Halfway through the video, the door opened and someone walked in with a white slip of paper and handed it to the teacher.
The teacher looked at the student "Try to be here before class starts next time please. Have a seat"
The student scanned the room for an empty chair and walked slowly over to my aisle and placed her bag down on the floor and sat down. She was pretty and smelled nice but looked a little intimidating.
Kasandra poked my back and I turned to her. "What?" I whispered. She passed me a note that read "she's so hot!" I rolled my eyes and tossed it back to Kasandra.
After the video was done the teacher asked us to find a partner for a small worksheet we had to complete in pairs. I looked over my shoulder to find Kasandra already partnered up with someone. I looked around and everyone had already seemed to find their partner except for the girl that sat next to me. I was scared to even speak to her as I felt she might punch me if I did. I built enough courage to ask if she would want to be my partner. "H-hey um can I partner up w-with you? She didn't look at me or say anything she just got up and asked to use the restroom and left.

I felt weird and awkward "ugh what the hell that was rude" I mumbled. I grabbed the worksheet and began to work without her. A couple minutes later the door opened again and she walked back in and this time when she sat down she turned her body towards me and just stared at me and laughed. I was confused and asked what was so funny. "What are you laughing at?" She looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "What? You really think ima work on this shit?" She crumpled up the worksheet and tossed it behind her and went back to her original position and pulled out her phone.
I continued to do my work since I didn't want an F already. Many minutes later the bell rang and she immediately got up and went out the door as fast as any human could possibly move. I was still confused as to why she was rude to me and didn't even bother to do her work.
The day went on and it was finally lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and scanned the area to see if I could find Kasandra ,but there was no sign of her. I walked towards a line to get some food and sit down while I waited for Kasanadra to show up.
I was so focused on my food I didn't even notice someone staring at me from across the cafeteria. I looked up once again to scan the area for Kasandra but was met with that same rude girls eyes. We made eye contact for a split second but I looked away and pretended that didn't happen. I got up to throw away my trash and decided to go outside.
I stepped outside in the cold rain only to find Kasandra walking around the track with some guy. I can't believe I was waiting for her like an idiot. I turned and decided to go to the library and listen to some music instead. I set my things down and sat at a table and plugged my earbuds in and forgot about everyone else around.
I was reading a book on Wattpad when I saw an arm grab onto one of the chairs and pulled it from underneath the table. It was Kasandra and she smiled at me as she sat down. "Hey! I couldn't find you anywhere I've been looking for you" I fake smiled back at her "yeah I was eating my lunch and decided to come in here just to chill out" she nodded "cool. Hey listen! I just met this super cute guy and he asked if I would hangout with him after school today and I feel like-" i honestly payed no attention to Kasandra as her voice faded out and I focused on my music.

"So what do you think I should say?" She rested her chin on her hands as she looked eagerly at me "uh I-uh I think you should totally go for it" she looked at the floor not knowing what to think "are you sure I mean why do you think I should?" At this point I was scared she would find out I wasn't listening to her whole lecture on 'How she met this cute guy' five minutes ago.
"Well uh- I think you should def-" I was cut off by a group of boys who approached the table "Hey Kas! Long time no see" one of them spoke. Kasandra looked up and her face lit up "oh my god Johnny hey!" She stood up and gave him a hug "Listen, I'm having a party this weekend with some old friends and I was looking around for you and now that I've found you I wanted to invite you" he gave her a cheeky smile "Yeah that sounds like fun!" I tried to tune out their voice but unfortunately one of the guys sat next to me and spoke to me.
"Uh hey are you new here?" I looked up at him and I will say he was fairly attractive. He had short Brown messy curls and had light brown eyes and a sharp jawline and was wearing a burgundy polo shirt that complimented his biceps as well as some blue jeans that he made look really good.
"um yeah I moved here over the summer" he smiled and put his hand out for me to shake "I'm Marcus, Nice to meet you!" I took his hand "I'm Isabel" I felt a little warm and realized I must've been blushing. "So uh have you heard about the party this weekend? You going?" I shook my head "no I'm just staying in this weekend" he looked a little slumped "oh well I was kinda hoping to see you there but uh maybe we could hangout sometime?" He looked hopeful "sure just give me your number and we'll set something up" He gave me his number and said his goodbyes as him and his group left.
"Sooo you've got a crush?" Kasandra smirked
"What are you talking about I don't even know him"
"But yet you agreed to hangout with him?..don't worry he's a nice kid I've known them for a long time"
Finally the day was over and I had to walk home now since we live closer to my school. I didn't wanna to to wait for Joseph and David so I left. I walked into a gas station and saw Marcus at the slurpee machine and walked over and grabbed a cup. "So you like slurpees too?" I asked. What a dumb question. "Oh hey I didn't see you there" he chuckled. I filled up my cup and walked over to the counter and pulled out my wallet getting ready to pay for my drink. "Oh uh I got that!" Marcus gave the cashier a five dollar bill to pay for my drink.
I looked at him "Uh thanks I guess" I chuckled nervously "I'll pay you back if you want" I walked out of the store with Marcus and pulled out a couple bucks from my wallet and handed it over to him. "No no don't worry about it we're friends now! I got you" he smiled.
"So do you usually walk home?" I asked "Yeah I live not too far from here. You mind if I walk with you?" I shook my head as I took a sip of my slurpee.
There was a period of awkward silence. "Where are you from?" I could tell he was desperate to start a conversation. "I'm from California" he turned to me and jumped up excitedly "No way! Me too" I looked at him "wait really? That's cool" He smiled "yeah, my family and I moved here when I was in 5th grade though. It was scary moving to a new place I'd never been to but I eventually got used to it" I nodded.
We talked the rest of the way till we reached my house "I had fun talking to you. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you soon have a good evening Isabel" and with that he walked away and I entered my home for the rest of the night I couldn't stop thinking about how nice he was and how adorable he was.

"What is it?" He slowly began to peel the large bandaid away.My face set in resolve and burn of the newly pulled skin. When the bandaid was off both sets of eyes flew wide to mine. I didn't even try to pull my hand back. It was rock solid where it was. "It's fine!"Adam seriously growled. "You keep saying that. You are still lying!"I rolled my eyes. "No, look. It's okay. I know it looks bad, but it's always what my bee stings look like. Alright?" I glanced down to the irritated bump in the center with the series of violet lines coming from the inner point. The lines shot out in straight angles like a circuit board. "It's just an allergic reaction."Nate's eyes folded me with power. "This is not just an allergic reaction, Elise. It looks like..." he paused looking at Adam and Adam nodded his silent thought, "it looks like wolfsbane poisoning."A strong punch to the gut. I closed my eyes in defeat. That's exactly what it was.

Bint of Gilgit ~ Pakistani Love Story ~ ONGOING ~
For Nazli, the world is limited from her tribe to the Forbidden Valley. For Asadullah, the world is limitless and his for taking. ***"You should be honored that a man like I have taken such an interest in you!" Asadullah smirked, swirling his small handgun on his index finger. The green-eyed girl paled - her skin already porcelain white and quite different from any other he had seen in the country before. She was definitely beautiful even in her less than impressive rags. "Asadullah hardly makes such a generous offer." He said, liking the self-praise more than he wanted to admit. She shook her head - her dainty fingers wringing in her golden braid. Little Goldilocks. "Think again, little girl. The blood of your people will be on your hands." ***The setting is in Gilgit in a fictional valley called the Forbidden Valley. The image is not mine. The story and characters are.
