34 days

My eyes were shining, actually not just mine but everyone who was sitting around me and cheering for Kane. Yes, he is the best player of basketball here, and I am in love, no! Not with him, but his skills. Kane brightly, 15, 5'10", dark, handsome and the captain of the basketball team. He's like everything a person can ask for and this is so clear that almost everyone is going crazy for him, excluding me and Chloe Honeywell, yes! She is not interested in him either, although she is aware that he's actually a good player and deserves love, but she thinks it's too much how girls are always ready to go all over him.

Chloe Honeywell, 15, 5'4", curly ginger hairs, fair skin, freckles, no.2 in academics and straight forward. She has everything for girls to get jealous of her, including Kane brightly, am I forgetting something? Oh! And Alex graves, that dickhead is friends with them, but the thing is he prefers to be alone, that bookworm, must be sitting in the library.

"I will be back after some time, do you want something?", I asked Chloe, as I stood up from the bench. "Well, some pesticides would be nice so that I can kill these pests screaming into my ears for past hours", she answered with a straight face, "Heh!" is all I could say. She can be scary sometimes, but she is actually nice.

...----------------...

I don't know why? But yeah, I'm finding Mr. Dickhead, so he can support his friend, not that it's my concern, I just think it would be nice.

"Oh! Look a newbie with shit on his head, hey, why don't you just dye them darker!" a heavy voice laughed at me from behind, maybe he was a second year or a senior and I couldn't turn back, I'm convinced I'm a bully magnet at this point. I was just about to get into library but at this point, I cannot even move. All the memories flooding back into my head, the laughter getting louder, they haven't touched me yet, but I can already feel heavier, a lump in my throat. "And you already look like shit, no dye can make you better…" With tears forming on the corners of my eyes, I raised my eyes to find whose voice it was, to only have an annoying eye contact with Alex, I must be looking pathetic.

"Alex, let's not get into trouble" I said with a low voice, so low that only the person standing in front of me can hear me. He ignored my words as he never heard them, "Still standing here? Are you so proud of your insolence?", he was still talking to them. I tugged my fingers on the hem of his shirt, "Please, Alex, let's leave", I whispered again. Ignoring me again, he mocked them back, "I am hoping to never hear that ugly voice of yours, farewell!", he held me by my wrist and started walking, my head was low, and he took the lead.

We are now somewhere dark, some abandoned place in the school. "What is this place?" I asked him, looking around, his back facing me. He went and sat on a chair there, "An abandoned studio, nobody comes here anymore, Come and sit…", I tilted my head and blinked at him like I couldn't understand his words. "Do you want me to speak Chinese?", he asked with that snobbish tone and I was convinced he is not possessed or anything. I went and sit beside him. "That thank you is taking too long to come out of your mouth, Blondie…"

"Huh? Thank you, my ass… You bully me too and I didn't ask you to help me at the first place."

"But your eyes were saying something else and Do. Not. Curse. In. Front. Of. Me."

Why does he have to be so scary sometimes, but he's such a snob that I can't help but talk back, "Then, why the- I mean why do you call me Blondie? I have a godd- uh- name, I have a name…"

"What's your birth date, Blondie?", ignored successfully yet again.

"5th of December and stop calling me Blondie, will you?"

"Now, listen to me carefully…", What the hell is he getting so serious for? "… I'm 34 days older than you, so you have to respect me at every cost…", he continued while standing up, "… Or else, I'll punish you", and walked away.

"Huhhhh???" Did that asshole just leave me here, and what punishment, huh?

I FUCKING HATE THIS SNOB. But the real concern is how the hell am i supposed to get out of here, ughhhh!
