Love Is A Tricky Thing

Alex's POV:

~still a flashback sort of thing~

After what happened that day between me and Rian, I had been relatively distant. I was hanging out more with his friends, Jack and Zack then I had with Rian. As much as I was grateful for Rian saving me from that girl with way too much makeup, it made me uncomfortable for what he did. I was never one for being physically close to people, it makes me uncomfortable.

Jack and Zack are alright. I'm closest with Jack. He's really sweet and caring. Zack is quiet and shy, just like me, and not much conversation happens when we're alone.

The bell rang, signalling lunch. I hurriedly grabbed my backpack and stuffed my textbooks inside before running out of the classroom. Or, at least I tried to get out of the classroom. I was halfway out the door before Mr. Went had told me to stay behind.

'Shit!' I thought. It was probably about that test I sort of almost failed about a week ago. I ALMOST failed it! Keep that in mind!

I walked slowly and cautiously back into the classroom, and waited for the other students to leave. Once they were all gone, Mr. Wentz motioned for me to walk over to his desk, and I obliged not-so-happily.

"Alex-" he started, but I cut him off.

"S-sir, if this is about that test, I only just came to the school 2 weeks ago and that isn't enough time to study half a textbook. There's also some stuff happening at home and-"

"calm down Alexander." He laughed kindly, and I shut up. "Are you ok?" He asked.

"what? Yeah. I'm fine. Why?" I responded.

he stood up from his chair and walked around his desk to in front of me. He was dangerously close to me, and I internally shivered under his gaze. But did I say anything? No. 'Cause that would be SO rude, now wouldn't it?

"Because you said things are happening at home." He said, his face coming closer to mine. I stepped back about 5 feet.

"I-I'm fine Mr. Wentz" I assured before I ran out of the classroom and to the bathroom.

I don't think I can go back in there.
