Samuel's Pov

Whoever created school is a menace to society.

What possessed someone to do such an evil thing. Who could ever be so wicked to have created a system that can literally crush people's joy.

They must've had a sad life. A bunch of assholes if you ask me.

As I sat in my second to last class of the day, I wondered why this day had to be so long.  The clocked ticked so slow that at some points I didn't think it was even moving.

I just wanted to go home and hide. The quicker I get out of this building the quicker I will have the next 2 days for myself.

I really wished that someone would've given me a heads up that avoiding someone was a lot of work. You always had to be careful and watch your back. It was never ending and then you always had this feeling that at any moment they would pop out at you.

This shit was exhausting.

No one's forcing me to do this though.

Shut up.

"Why is this so complicated" I voice quietly. It's not that I want to avoid him it's just that I don't want to approach him.

Wait why do I have to approach him, he should approach me. 

But he can't approach me if i'm avoiding him.

But he should also make an effort.

I audibly groaned and put my head on my desk. Just 40 more minutes and I would be home free.

15 minutes later

I pick up my things and quickly exited the class. 15 minutes sure felt like 15 hours. School was going to be the death of me.

I slowly walked down the hallways to my next period class, eyes on every corner. All I had to do was make it through this last class.

The class he was in.

You can do it just like every other day this week just get it together Samuel.

I exhaled deeply giving myself a little pep talk before walking into the class of doom. I kept my head down until I reach my seat in the far corner. It took everything in me to look around the class and to my surprise the man of the subject was no where to be seen. Lucky me.

I sigh in relief and pull out my phone, to pass the time. The bell rings soon after and I hesitantly look around the class again to see that Sean still isn't here.

Wait why am I looking for him I don't even care. It must be my conscious, yeah that's it.

I shake my head almost reassuringly as if it would dismiss the thoughts from my mind. The teacher rolls in and I zone out as they start to call attendance.

"Allison here, James here, Jess .... i as s Jess here, ok absent, Kayla here, Nate here, Raven here, Samuel,

"Here." The teacher reads off a few more names and I zone out once again.

I think I may have an attention problem.

"Sean.... is Sean here?"

When I hear his name call out with no answer I decide to discreetly take another look around the class. And once again I'm greeted to the fact that  Sean is still not present. I wonder where he could be.

Samuel snap out of it, you don't care remember.  I shake my head again and direct my gaze ahead of me.

After the attendance was called the class moved rather quickly despite time moving slowly all day. I zone out as usual since all we had to do was work with partners. Usually when Sean was here I still wouldn't work with him despite the teachers pleas. Now that he wasn't here, him and the teacher were off my back, just the thought brought a smile to my face.
