English is a class I actually enjoy. Yeah, I know. What?! The nerd doesn't enjoy all of her classes? According to my mother, I'm more left brained, because math, science, architecture and all that stuff. Yes, it can be enjoyable. But writing your own story, with the power of your own words seems, I don't know, more meaningful.

The power of speech is from education, which is a right, which as a women I've earned.

Unfortunately, this is also a class I have with Chris.

However, lucky for me, he's not in the room right now. I sit down, near the middle. Not too far that I can't hear the lecture, but not too close so I don't get tormented. I fiddle with the neckline of the sweater Piper assaulted me with this morning. Why did it have to reveal both shoulders?

And then they enter.

I hate how I still notice him.

He cheated on me. I should hate his guts and never speak to him again, much less notice him.

Stupid heartstrings.

He's wearing a letterman jacket, one that I regretfully have too worn before.

Hell, I kinda missed it.

Chris lazily slides past my seat, but not before eyeing me up, everywhere.

I don't know whether to feel disgusted or more disgusted.

Once, I might've blushed.

Now, I just glare.

He has the nerve to wink at me, and then drop down in a seat right behind me.

Oh gods.

The first yellow sticky note flicks onto my desk. Of course why am I surprised, star football player, star table football player.

I bite my lip, but my self control loses and I open the note.

Someone looks hot today ;)

My fist clenches, and I write back Fuck off.

I can hear his soft chuckle, Fiesty, if I'd known this side of you, I would've kept ya.

I feel hot all over, and not in a good way. Oh no, I only reserve this side for dicks with a pea for a brain, that probably have an erectile dysfunction.

As he reads it from behind, I can feel his burning gaze.

See Anna, this is why no guy wants you, no matter what you try to do. I'm glad Drew saved me.

I suck a breath in. Of course, he would pick up on my lack of desirableness.

Really, cuz I'm getting mixed messages Chrissy.

Fuck off Annabeth.

I don't reply.

Ignorance is bliss.

a/n: shortishhh happy early holidays everyone! winter is here!
