Chapter 8: New Start

My family and I went to countryside we enjoyed or should I say they enjoyed. Even on holidays they gave us homework to do. The time passed like that holidays ended sadly.

Next Morning

"Wake up Lia you have school today you will be late on your first day." Said my mom.

I was not excited, I mean what's their to be excited about it will be the same class same teachers and same school but I gathered some courage and finally woke up and got ready for school.

Marina and I walked to school, the gate was was closed not because we went early because they didn't open the gate yet, everyone was waiting for it to open suddenly a loud sound came from the road it was some luxury car, the car door opened and someone familiar came out.

"Isn't that Hazen?" said Marina.

I glanced again trying to register his face, It is him. He was walking towards someone. I turn around looking at the school gate.

"Hey." a voice came behind me.

I look back. Is he talking to Marina? Thinking that I didn't answer him and face the gate again. He walked in front of me and started staring at me as if he was waiting for an answer. I look up at him. He was talking to me. 

"Oh. Hey" I said.

"Were you lost in your thoughts?" He asked.

I am lost in my life not thoughts, I thought.

"Haha not really." I said awkwardly.

God saved me the gates opened we went inside to our new classroom, the good thing was that the classmates will stay the same until we graduate not that I like my classmates it's just that me and Marina will be together. Mr. Sam is going to be our teacher for this year.

"Ok everything explained now let's decide the seats." Said Mr. Sam as he looked at his list and looked back at me.

"Lia you will sit with Hazen." Said Mr Sam with a proud look on his face it looked like it was planned before.

Hazen looked like he was already prepared as he walked towards the seat and sat with me. 

"How were your holidays?" He asked.

"Good." I said with a slight pout on my face, I wanted to seat with Marina.

"Not happy?" Hazen stared, at my soul.

"Happy?" I looked at him confused. Even though I was not.

"Hm, my vacation was alright not the best." He said waiting for my answer.

"Oh." I said I was not really interested the only thing I was thinking about is what will I eat when I go home even though it was the first period.

"I think you really are in deep thoughts." He said with a slight chuckle.

Again I gave him an awkward smile. 

The class was over and after another two periods it was break time. I was sitting on the bench with Marina I looked over at the football field Hazen was playing. It felt like he became a different person he's playing football and is talking to other students as well.

A few weeks went by, Mr. Sam entered the class looked like he was going to announce something.

"Class, a new student will be joining us from today, he will be here in just a few minutes." Said Mr. Sam.

Knock Knock

"Alex, come inside." Said Mr Sam.

He had black hair and black eyes he had a serious look on his face. Mr. Sam told him to sit with me because he doesn't understand Spanish. He came and sat besides me.

"Hi." I said smiling at him.

He gave me a look, a look that said don't talk to me. Another rude guy, what a luck, what did I do to deserve this? why every rude guy has to magically appear in my life.

Hazen didn't come to school today, if he was here he definitely wouldn't move from his seat.

Next Day

I went to school looking like a zombie, we have a mock test today, I saw Alex drawing god knows what on a book, hey that book looks familiar?

It's my book.

"Hey?! why are you drawing satanic stuff on my book?" I said with a slight anger in my tone as I took my book back.

"Huh?" He looked annoyed even though I should be annoyed.

"By the way there's a mock test today did you prepare?" I asked.

"I told you not to talk to me." he said with an annoyed face.

"No you didn't." I said, it was true he never told me to not talk to him.

"What?" He said with a raised eyebrow. "Don't talk to me. Now I did." He said with a mock smile.

"Ok." I said taking my pencil case out of my bag.

Hazen entered the class, he looked directly at his seat he didn't look happy, of course a random guy took the king's throne how would he be happy.

"This is my seat." said Hazen with a stern voice.

"Really?" Alex scoffed looking away.

Hazen put his hand on the table giving him a tough look.

"What? I'm not moving from here." Alex crossed his arms.

They looked like kids fighting over some candy.

"What's going on?" Entered Mr. Sam in class putting his books down.

"Mr Sam that seat was actually Hazen's but Alex is sitting on it." said Laila.

"Yeah, I told him to sit there Hazen why don't you sit somewhere else for two three weeks, Alex needs Lia to explain things to him." Said Mr. Sam.

"I also need Lia." Hazen said still giving a stern look.

Mr. Sam looked speechless even I was speechless.

"Oh. Uh so let's do something we will put three tables together so she can help both of you." Mr. Sam cleared his throat as he put the tables together.

No no, why? one was enough to kill my last brain cells, now two? ugh. I want to personally talk to god, why are you doing this? I just want a peaceful life. As I kept drowning myself with deep thoughts I could feel some tension in between Hazen and Alex.

"Alex, give me your notebook i'll write down the tests we have this week so you'll have an idea." I said putting my hand forward expecting his notebook on it.

"Are you that desperate for my attention?" He smirked.

"Huh?" I gave him a confused look.

"I know girls like you die for rich boy's attention." said Alex.

"Excuse me?" I said. Another guy with a brain dysfunction. Is he trying to tell me that he's rich?. If he is rich then why is he here in a public school? why are these rich people spreading their virus to us normal living people?

"Come on accept it, you are after rich boys." He said with a smug look.

"Don't talk to her like that." Said Hazen with a slight frown.

"Why? is she your girlfriend? Is she dating you because of your money." Alex laughed in a mocking way.

"I can buy you with my money, so let's not talk about that." said Hazen frowning.

Bell Rings

It was break time.
