Alanna wasn't in my first class, but I noticed a few girls that were at the club that awful night. Taking my seat, I declined the offer to go up and introduce myself. I didn't need more people gawking at me like the shiny new toy.

"Miss Wilson if you could wait behind a few minutes".

I had only been in the class for 15 minutes before the bell went signalling it was over. Heading to the front of the class I stood awkwardly in front of his desk.

"45 minutes late to my class Miss Wilson". Mr Gallagher was a young teacher, no older than 30 I'd say. "But I'll let it slide seeing as this is your first day. Now here are notes from today seeing as you can't write anything just now. You'll get a copy after every class until your hand is healed".

"Thanks sir I appreciate it and sorry for being late. It wont happen again".

"Make sure it doesn't or it'll be a detention for you. Now off you go you don't want to be late for a second time today". There was a hint of humour in his eyes.

Giving him a nod, I left his classroom and began walking to my next one. With my books under my arm and a twizzler in my mouth I was somewhat having a good morning. Entering my chemistry class my eyes roamed around the room looking for an available seat.

"In the back with me shorty. It's the only seat that's left". Ryan pushed past me and headed for his seat. Making my way to the back I took the seat next to him placing my books on the desk. As soon as she walked in her smile dropped.

Why did the look she was giving me make me feel like I had done something wrong? I thought she'd be happy we have at least one class together.

Taking out my phone I typed up a new message. She was being weird or so it felt. This morning with the whole dating and now with the way she was boring holes into the side of my face.

'You good?'

Seconds later she replied.

'Why are you sitting with Ryan?'

No kisses or an A left at the end of her message. Yeah something was definitely up her butt. But why was she questioning where I was sitting? This was the only seat left. Making a face I slipped my phone bac into my pocket.
