Falling For You

Chapter Three!

Elena's POV

Class ended quite fast today. We were starting on a new project so Ms. Tillker talked to us about it and then for the rest of the period, she let us chill and relax. Most of the class was talking. I didn’t even bother wondering what Drew would do other than stare holes into my head. If he had destructive laser beams shooting out of his eyes, I would definitely be burning.

I didn’t know what to do so I decided to read a book. Besides I rather read an interesting book than stare into space.

A few minutes later, I could see Drew playing on his phone from the corner of my eyes. I let out a sigh when he finally stopped staring but even though Drew wasn’t staring at me anymore, I felt hatred radiating off of him. It wasn’t a nice feeling.

The bell rang and this time, it was me who jumped out of the seat and walked out of the classroom. Fast.

It was the end of the school day. It felt good to walk out of the school. Away from people who seem to hate you but you don’t know them at all. Away from people who accused me for Jamie’s death. Now, that made me struggle and it hurt me a bit but I didn’t let them get to my head.

I walked outside towards Liam’s car. I was looking around the parking lot for his grayish silver Honda Accord. On my oh so lovely adventure, I wandered around the parking lot probably looking like an old lost lady that had no clue where she was. Well, maybe not the old part, because I have nothing against old people. I love my grandparents.

Someone shoved past me, causing me to almost trip and do a face plant on the floor. When I steadied myself, I realized that it was Drew who pushed, I mean shoved pass me.  

A wave of anger swept past me. I had no idea why but I was so mad. Was it the fact that he pushed me and never said sorry or was it because he seemed to hate me even though I did nothing to him? It was probably the latter.

What was his problem anyway? I then decided to yell at him which wasn’t exactly the best choice.

“What the hell is your problem!?” I screamed causing heads to turn around and unwanted attention. I was far too mad to notice this though. I usually let things like this go but as much as I don’t want to admit it, today wasn’t a great day. It was enough that Drew was staring at me hatefully but then when I walk in the hallways, even the people that are usually friendly to me had given me glares.

He turned around, annoyed. “What?”

“Don’t act like you don’t know.” I spat out.

“I don’t know.” I had expected him to at least sound a bit annoyed but he recollected himself and his voice came out surprisingly calm.

But that wasn’t my point. What was wrong him anyway? He stared back at me with such a bored gaze that it was getting me really annoyed.

A few seconds later which felt like minutes, he was still staring back at me with that same bored look and I was getting to the point where my blood was boiling and I was shaking with anger. He really got on my nerves.

I broke the silence. “Explain to me why you look at me like you hate me. I try to be nice and you ignore me. And now, you’re shoving past me?”

“I have my reasons.”

I scoffed. “You have your reasons? What reasons could you possibly have when you just came here? You don’t even know me.”

“No. you’re right. I don’t know you but I know something that makes me hate you.”

“What huh? Tell me a reason why you hate me.” I demanded, raising my voice a little.

“No. I don’t need to tell you anything,” He walked closer to me. “You may look innocent but you and I and I’m sure the rest of the school know what you did and that makes me hate you.” He said looking into my eyes with such disgust, I don’t think anyone has ever looked at me like that before.
