Once in a life time

Part 4

Its four minutes until the bell signaling 3rd periods starting and I'm still at my locker trying to find my homework that's due this period.
The sound of familiar laughter fills the hall making me turn my head towards the sound.
Havanna and her friends were making their way down the hall cheerfully. Havannas and my eyes meet for a brief second, just long enough for her to roll her eyes at me and look away.
I shake my head to myself and busy myself with looking for my missing homework.

Havana and I were once upon a time best friends, but when jake... Left  she didn't want to be friends anymore. She claimed she 'didn't want to lose another person' and she 'didn't want to be friends with a depressed girl'. Apparently me taking jakes passing hard made her look bad socially that is, I no longer went to party's or laughed so she got friends who would.

Oh well her loss.
I determine that my homework wouldn't just magically be found so I gave up and shut my locker and made the short way to class.

The class was almost full by the time I got there so I took my usual seat in the back of the class and pulled out my things and just doodled while class started, we usually didn't do anything in this class so no need to pay attention really.

Suddenly everyone was talking amongst themselves and a loud scrapping sound was heard to my left.
I look up to see mason hill, huh didn't know he had this class. He had pulled a desk over to mine and sat directly to my right.
"What's up shorty" he said with a smirk on his face.
I scrunch up my face and glare at him "I'm not short"

"Sure you aren't shorty, so you going to get started on this assignment soon?" He asked making my raise my eyebrows.
"What assignment?"
Mason tilted his head back in a laugh then looked at me "you should really pay attention more often, shorty. We gotta work in partners and do a cross word puzzle"

He held out a paper to me and I look at it confused, you'd think that they'd give us harder work and not put us in pairs to do a simple cross word puzzle.

"Okay, so why are you my partner?" I ask confused, no one ever talked to me before him, and why is he suddenly starting.

"Well" he said leaning back in his chair with a wicked smirk on his face "you seem a little nerdy and I want an A"

I scoff and roll my eyes "in that case don't worry I'll try my hardest to get you your A"

Yeah right, after I'm done filling out his stupid puzzle he'll be lucky to get a F.

"I knew I could count on you shorty" he says now looking down at his phone, I suppress my urge to roll my eyes. I hate phones, they rule everyone's lives, we're all addicted to the stupid object.

I start filling in the cross word puzzle hmm five letter word for a amphibian.... Sluts.
I make sure to fill the hole puzzle out using all the cuss words I know, it's very childish but he keeps calling me shorty and I don't like it.

At least someone's talking to you for once though, the little voice in the back of my head pointed out.
I shake the stupid thought out of my head, I don't need anyone to talk to me.

"Okay, I'm done do you just want me to turn it in for you?" I ask him, his attention still on his phone.

He looks up for a moment his smirk not leaving his face "that'd be great shorty, thanks for pullin through"

I roll my eyes and stand up and place the stupid cross word puzzle in the turn in basket at the front of class then go back and sit down.

"So, what do you do for fun, shorty" mason asks putting his phone down and crossing his leather clad arms over this chest.
"Nothing" I say as I go back to doodling.

"Alright what's your favorite food to eat?"
"Nothing"
"What's your favorite color"
"Nothing"
"Are you one of those emo chicks?" He asks and I make a funny face to myself.

"I don't think so?"

"Ah so you say something other than 'nothing' good to know" he says smirking at me.

The bell rings and I practically thank the heavens.
I quickly gather my things and head to my lunch spot.
I just made it out of the class room when Mason's tall figure caught up with me.

"You don't mind if I sit with you at lunch again right?" He asked walking in step with me.
"Kinda" I say not wanting him to continue pestering me.
"Great we'll have tons of fun" he says smirking and I just keep my mouth shut.

This is going to be a different day.
