Fate

Pt5

Sophia
It had been a few days since my interaction with jay and I had hardly seen him since.

Hardly, meaning when he ignored me in school and kept trying to talk to me outside of school.

But why.

Was I that bad that he didn't want people to know he knew me in public.

Yes I know we don't know each other and I wouldn't expect him to talk to me in school but why outside. It's like it's his mission to talk to me. And if it's a dare.

I swear to god, if it's a dare.
.
I dont know what I would do to myself because heck I am not going to embarrass myself even more.

And that's why instead of talking to him back. I run as far away as possible and do my very best to avoid eye contact at all costs.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

It had been a week since I had got back from school and me and Ana were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch. I could see the different groups of people; the smart ones, the sports people, the artsy ones and;

The popular kids.

All they did was laugh at people making a fool of themselves whilst Jackson and jay tortured them.

And they didn't even get told off for it.

They never did.

I guess that's a plus of having your dad being the person who funds the school.

Yes, jays dad does pay most of the bills.

And yes he is probably the richest person in the school.

To be honest that's definately one of the reasons all the girls want to date him.

They all try to impress him in every single way and even embarrass other girls by doing it.

Jay doesn't care though.

He loves it.

I swear he lives for the attention.

Suddenly I snap out of my thoughts as I feel a tug on my jumper.

"Soph," Ana whispered in my ear. " Look!"

I turn to look in the direction Ana was pointing in; only to see jay and Jackson harassing one of the quiet boys in the year.

They were playing catch with his bag whilst everyone else was laughing. The boy looked like he was going to cry though and I knew I couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Anger.

That's all I felt when I suddenly got up from my chair.

I could hear Ana calling after me but it all faded away with my attention on jay and the boy.

"Give it back to him!"

I stood in the middle of the room next to the boy who was looking at me with fear in his eyes.

The whole room was silent.

There was no laughing anymore. Just eyes. Eyes that glared at me. They were staring at me with the look of:

Why did u stop the fun? And who gave u the right to speak up?

Jackson looked at me with fury.

No one had stood up to them ever.

"Who do u think u are, demanding something,"he laughed. Along with the whole of the room.

"Give it him back" I said again. "He hasn't done anything to u."

Jackson laughed.

"He actually did do something. Dressing up like that should be a crime."

Before I can say something else, I hear another voice interrupt me.

"Just give him the bag man."

All eyes turned to jay who stood there with a straight face.

He wasn't staring at any of them though.

His eyes were on me.

Only me.

Jackson looked at jay with confusion but dropped the bag.

I looked away from jay and back onto the boy. I looked at him with sincerity and I really did feel bad for him.

I'm pretty sure jay saw this because I saw him storm out of the room a second later; Jackson and Tyler running after him.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————
All of a sudden, the bell rang and everyone disappeared out of the cafeteria. Til it was only me and the boy left.

Ana had waved me over but I told her I'd be there in a minute.

"T-Thank you," the boy stuttered. " n- no one's done that for me before."

"Well they should of , them boys are jerks."

That made him laugh.

"I'm Sebastian, seb."

"I'm Sophia."

"Nice to meet u Sophia."

"Nice to meet u seb."

Before we could say anything else, a teacher glared at us and signalled us to get to lesson. I was about to leave but seb gave me a piece of paper with a number on which I suspected to be his phone number.

He then smiled at me before returning to walk out of the door.

I returned the smile with one of my own whilst I headed to my lesson where Ana was probably waiting for me to explain.

Explain what the hell I just did.
