The crowd scattered, they all headed to their own classes.

I shaked my head, and bit my lips.

It's fine, maybe I'll try next time...

I took my chemistry book and dashed to chemistry class, apparently, the class was pretty far away, resulting me to be late.

" I'm sorry I'm late....( I checked my schedule) Mrs.Wood..." I said as I knocked on the door.

The teacher didn't hear me, she had big round glasses, magnifying her eyes by 3 times.

"Oh dear! It's alright, go, go, find a seat! " Mrs.Wood said, glancing at me for barely a second.

The seats were arranged in two, there was a seat on the corner and a seat beside...Sean.

Sean was sleeping...again.

I sat beside him quietly, Mrs.Wood started passing out tubes and some sort of yellowish liquid.

"Work with your partners, follow the instructions, hand them up to me after class and DON'T blow up the classroom." Mrs.Wood announced.

All of a sudden, more than 5 types of liquid appeared in front of me, and a piece of paper.

Mrs.Wood handed everyone some powder.

" You may want to becareful with the powder, class, last week, a girl blew up her desk with it." The teacher said, she seems very excited...

I took the powder and gently placed it under my desk for safe keeping, I took the instructions and scanned through them.

"Sean White !" Mrs.Wood shouted.

Sean lifted his head , groaned and rubbed his eye.

"Why don't you help your Partner with the work ?" Mrs.Wood said.

"Partner...what partner...who what..wha---" Sean turned his head and saw me with his right eye, his left hand rubbing his left eye.

I was sitting beside him, with googles and gloves on, one hand on the instructions, the other hand on a tube filled with reddish liquid.

Sean opened his mouth to say something, but closed it as soon as I look at him.

"So...are you gonna help or what ? " I said, with a grin.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Sean was staring at me, again.

I showed him the instructions and explained it to him.

He said nothing through out the class.

"No no ! Don't add that one, add the blue one, yeah like that! " I said, pointing here and there.

************

We got an A+ for our chemistry test, Sean still said nothing, after class, he swung his backpack on his shoulder and walked away.

I sighed, I grabbed my backpack and walked to my locker.

************

"Math, chemistry, English and now lunch ! " I exclaimed.

I hopped towards the cafeteria and piled me tray with food, I turned my head and I saw.

A triple layer cake.

Without thinking, I placed my tray now on a random table and speeded across the crowd, I grabbed the cake and made a U turn.

I made a sigh of relief, " Coast clear. " I muttered.

The tables were crowded, I shaked my head, and 'abandoned' this place.

Instead, I went to the roof.

Surprisingly, I saw Sean there, sitting alone on the bench, eating a sandwich , I walked towards him , " Hey Sean !" but before I can finish my sentence, he stood up.

"Stop it, just stop it."

What ?

"Please, just stop it..."

"Sean, what are you talking about ? " I asked in confusion.

Sean gritted his teeth, his hands clenched.

"Stop pretending ! Stop pretending to be my friend ! Don't you get it ? I'm a cripple ! Who would just come up to me and ask me to be their friend, what are the chances ? 1% ? 0.01% ?"

He breathed deeply, and ran towards the door , " Leave me alone. " he said before running down the stairs.

So I sat there, eating alone, I'm not surprised, should've known this was coming...

*************

For the pass few days, I've been ignoring him, just what he wanted, there have been multiple times when he's been , bullied when I walked pass him, but I didn't help him, I just simply walk away, if that's what you want, to leave you alone, sure, I'll leave you alone alright, I'll leave you alone.

I went to class ignoring him, I went to lunch ignoring him.

It was as if he's invisible.

*************

Mmmmm... Hey ! There's PE for next class !

I did my happy dance and grabbed my PE attire.

Where's the girl's locker room again? Oh right, left turn and then left turn and again.

I changed myself speedy quick, not wanting to miss a minutes in PE.

I hopped to the field where the teacher is.

"Hello class ! I see a new face here! I am Ms. Relta. The PE teacher."

I greeted her and introduced myself to the new class.

"Ok students ! 7 laps around the field go ! " She said loudly.

I turned my head to face the field, but then, I saw, Sean.

I shaked my thoughts out of my head and started running.

It was only 4 laps and people were slouch-running.

I continued my 3 laps and drank some water.

"Good A+ for you Millie. " Ms.Relta said, taking notes in her book.

"If you don't finish the lap in 2 minutes! You will fail my standard test ! " Ms.Relta yelled.

Most of the boys straightened up and started sprinting.

Half of the class wasn't able to finish the lap, they failed in result.

"Hm..Sean, you surprisingly got an A ! " Ms.Relta announced.

Sean flinched and looked at his shoe, some of those boys who failed looked at him and cracked their knuckles.

"Since half of the class passed my test, let's play a game of dodge ball."

The students cheered as Ms.Relta grabbed 5 balls.

The class was divided into 4 groups, blue , yellow, red and green.

"Red vs blue go ! "

"blue vs yellow! "

"Green vs yellow ! "

Soon enough, the teacher went to the toilet and that's when the mess started.

I was in the red group, Sean was in yellow.

A boy came and took a whole crate of balls , " TARGET SEAN GO !!"

Everyone in the class laughed and started throwing balls at Sean, hard.

All except me.
