Chapter 6 Apology

• I kept smiling in triumph even after I had gotten to the library. That would teach him not to cross my path. Not long after, Mr. Jackass approached my table. Without my permission, he sat down. "The seat's taken", I really didn't want him around. "I didn't see anyone on it". He said rudely with his deep voice as he grabbed the seat violently. I sighed silently. This dude really knew how to get on my nerve. He seemed angry so I asked "what do you want ?" He smirked then replied "you are really something... I can't believe I judged you fast" "you dated to put your hand on my face... Do you know what the consequence of that is?" He said raising an eyebrow up. I furrowed my brows " you are the one who dared me... Why would there be consequences?? You really enjoy bothering people don't you?? I can't even get a moment of peace when I'm even at school" I gave a bitter laugh then attempted to walk out on him but he grabbed my arm and sat me down. "I'm not done with what I have to say" he ordered. "And I'm not gonna wait around listening to your trash". I tried to take my arm back, but he wouldn't let go. Suddenly someone else came and took my other arm, "long time, no see" I turned to look at the person. It was Joe, Ann's friend. I have never been more excited to see anyone in my life than right now. "You forgot you were supposed to meet me. You didn't show up so I went to your room and I was told you usually got back late so I came to the school to search for you" he winked at me and I caught on. " I was on my way out but this jerk won't let me go" I said through my teeth. He took my other arm from the angry mannerless jerk and was about leaving when he grabbed my arm again "who do you think you are??" He was talking to Joe. "Can't you see I wasn't done?" He asked in a commanding tone. This pissed Joe off "and who do you think you are, to order me around??" He retorted. "You can go where you are headed alone. She stays." He said. Joe gave a wicked laugh and said "and what are you gonna do if I don't listen?". I could feel the anger rising in both guys. The air was getting more tensed by a second. 'why wouldn't the jerk just leave me be?' I was so annoyed so I spoke out. "Hey! You shouldn't talk to my friend that way. Like I said, I'm done having this conversation with you" I took my hand forcibly from him and walked away. Dragging Joe as far away as possible. From the side of my eye, I watched to see if the jerk would follow but he didn't. So I finally let out the breath the breath I was holding. "Thank you so much". Joe looked at me and smiled "you're welcome... You looked like you needed a save" he paused then continued... "But I'd really like for us to hangout sometime... And before you say no think of how I helped you today" I laughed then said "I'll think about it and give you a call" we exchanged numbers and bid each other goodbye.
• I kept thinking about what happened at the library as I made my way back to the hostel, the jerk was really surprised I talked back at him. I guess no one has ever done that. I was proud of myself. I was happy to put him in his place but I forgot all about Anna.
• Upon reaching my room, I saw Anna standing outside our door. "What's up??" I asked her. She looked really nerve racked, "umm, I'm good... I'm alright" she said. I nodded my head still confused and was about to go in when she blocked my way and yelled "wait!" She took a deep breath then continued. "Listen, Mer, I know I've been a bitch. I know I've not really been good and I know I've been a pain in the a.." "just get straight to the point Annie" I cut her off. "Okay. Listen. I'm really sorry about what happened this morning. It won't happen again. I promise" I looked at her and she looked sincere. I didn't wanna buy it but I didn't see any red signals. "Look I know you won't believe me but...." She opened the door and there was the prettiest gown I've seen on my bed with the classiest boots ever. "Oh my God, Annie you didn't have to..." I hugged her. " I forgive you" little did I know she had other plans. I dropped my guard down like the fool I was. She requested I escort her to a party to prove I had really forgiven her. I groaned at the idea but she pleaded and I finally gave in.
