Trouble (Miniminter FF/AU)

° Chapter 20 °

(Monday)

"Shit." I whispered immediately when I woke up.

I'm going back to the hell today.

I got out of my bed and sighed.

I got dressed and went downstairs. Everyone was there.

"I wish you a nice day at school girls." Mum smiled

"Thanks." We said and tried to smile.

"Let's go." I said and left the house with my backpack.

Taylor and I walked to the school.

"Do you think you will get crucified today?" Taylor asked me on our way to school.

I lit my cigarette. I inhaled a smoke.

"Probably." I said

"Peter will crucify me." I inhaled another smoke.

"Is he still following you around? After everything that happened between you two?" She asked

"Look, I don't want to talk about that!" I spat out.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." She apologised and we were already in front of the school.

She went to her clique and I went over to Emma and Mike. I looked around and saw everyone still giving me weird looks. I rolled my eyes.

Fuck the english class, I can't be bothered with this.

Whilst I was walking to the football stands, someone stopped me.

I turned around and saw Simon.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I was walking alongside with him.

"Skipping english class." He said

"Hurry up." I said and looked around if someone was looking at us.

We went behind the football stands, where no one could see us.

We stood in silence until I spoke.

"Why aren't you with your blonde cheerleader now?" I asked still feeling bitter-sweet vibes about him and the whole situation.

"More of a person who likes
bruinettes ." He said looking at me and my brown hair

"Oh by the way,I'm not stubborn." I said stomping on my cigarette.

We sat down on the ground, leaning against the wall behind the stands.

"Well that sounds like something every stubborn person would say." He said smiling at me

"Carrie told me she was at your house and you didn't listen to her." He said

"I don't want to know about you two or about some random bullshit." I said

I realised what I just said, and how he can understand that on a different way.

Do I seem too interested?

He just smiled.

"Will you listen to me then?" He asked

"Is it worth it?" I asked looking down

"It always is." He said and smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Okay, I'm listening." I said

"So, I started talking to Carrie from my clique and some of the other people from the other groups. There's a lot more different couples in this school that you think." He said

"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked

"Carrie from my clique and Michael from hipster clique." He said

"Seth from goth clique and Pam from my clique.. And many many more." He added

"Yeah like my sister and Mike." I added

"Really?" He asked

I nodded my head.

"So, you're in?" He asked

"In about what?"

"To change this school to be less fucked up in a way. To create the coolest clique ever. It's going to take a lot of time, but we can do it." He said

"New year, new times. I want you to start this together with me." He added

The way he tries so hard amuses me, because who would want me after....

Well, after what happened last year..

My body shook a bit because I was cold.

"Are you cold?" He asked me

"A bit." I said rubbing my hands together.

"C'mon." He invited me to get closer to him.

Without a thought, I instantly hugged him letting him warm me up with his arms around me. He held my hands and kept them warm. I snuggle close to him.

"Is that awkward of me?" He asked about snuggling close to me.

"Not at all." I said and snuggled even more.

"You want to be a part of this?" He asked

"Yeah." I quietly said with a smile.

"I'm sorry I kissed Carrie and acted like an idiot. I'm sorry people still gives you weird looks." He said

"You didn't act like an idiot. It's okay. I get that you are trying to protect yourself, and they will get over it. Don't worry about it." I said

We stayed in this position for the whole day. We talked just like we used to, and we got incredibly warm and cozy.

Skipping one class ended up skipping the whole day of school.
