Minx's POV
I tried to ask Jack what had happened yesterday in school but he refused to speak. I was worried about him. No one just has a panic attack for no reason.
He was in the front seat if the car, one earphone in and looking out the window. I could see his reflection in the mirror. He was stressed out about something. But I dare not ask him in case he gets upset.
I tried leading everything together but nothing really made sense. The only thing I could think of was that he wasn't used to being around so many people but there wasn't even that much people around. I was completely clueless.
Jack's POV
I climbed out the car and shuffled into the school. I could see people giving me weird or co concerned looks in the corners of my eyes. I just looked at the ground and ignored them.
I could hear Minx and Dodger running up behind me but I didn't stop and wait. I just shuffled down the hall towards the bathrooms. I had remembered passing them when I left with Trish the previous day.
I was almost there when I felt a hand grab my arm and I was pulled back. I turned to see Minx giving me a worried look.
"Are you alright Jack?" She asked concerned. I held a blank look on my face and began turning away quickly.
"No," I mumbled as I took a step towards the bathroom door only to be stopped again.
"What's wrong?" It was Dodger this time. I turned back to them as my emotions bubbled and swirled around inside me. But u didn't let them show.
"I'm fine," I said. My voice came out cold and emotionless. I felt horrible after though. I didn't want to make them feel bad but I couldn't help it.
Then I saw Aaron walk through the front door and realized I didn't want to be there right now. I tried to pull away again but Minx refused to let go of me.
"Come on Jack, you can tell us what's wrong," She urged. I shook my head and pulled my arm free but just as I was about to turn and run Aaron called out to me.
"JACK! I need to talk to you!" I froze in place. I couldn't move. I tried to run away but I couldn't. I felt my heart racing.
"Look, I know we haven't had a great encounter in the past but I've changed since then," he said standing in front of me.
"How am I supposed to believe you? You put me in hospital so many times," I whispered. I could see the hurt on his face. "Just leave me alone."
I stepped past him and walked away. I put my hand on the bathroom door but his voice cut me off again.
"You could at least give me a chance to prove I've changed," Aaron said sourly. I baller my hand into a fist and turned to him, my face full of anger.
"You didn't even give me a chance to be a friend. You just looked at me and said,oh, he looks lonely. Let's beat him up every day, make fun of him and make his life a living hell!" I screamed. I knew people were watching but I didn't care.
"Look, I've changed since then," Aaron begged. I scoffed.
"Sure you have. And I'm an astronaut. What makes you think I'll believe you with just simple words? You beat me up for ten years! And you didn't care! I was a laughing stock because of you. I'm not letting that happen again," I spat angrily before walking away, this time down the hall.
Everyone remained silent. In my blind rage I didn't see where I was going and ended up walking into someone. I stumbled back but didn't fall.
"S-sorry, I didn't mean to run into you," a small boy said as he tried to pick up the books he dropped. I don't know what happened but I felt my anger boiling up inside me.
"You better be sorry. Watch where you're going next time," I spat and walked past him. I wanted to go back. I wanted to apologize but my body didn't let me.
When I was out of sight I ran down the hall to the back of the school. I found a small area where no one was and leant against a wall and slid down it.
My anger turned into painful tears that burned down my face. I pulled my legs up to my chest and pushed my face into knees. I let all my emotions fall out with my tears as my body shook.
"Are you okay Jack?" I shot my head up at the sound of Aaron's voice. He stood above me with an actual concerned look on his face.
"W-why do y-you care?" I shot at him angrily but mostly defensively. He sighed and looked away awkwardly.
"I know you don't believe that I've changed but I have. Because you moved away everyone started blaming me. They bullied me instead and I realized what it was like to be beaten up and hurt everyday. I moved here to start again at the beginning of the year buy some people started bullying me again. That was until I met Minx and Dodger. They're against bullying ya know. They helped stop the bullying and make me a better person," he explained softly.
"So you only realized his I felt when it was happening to you? You should have seen what you were doing to me by the way I looked and acted," I said as tears streamed down my face. I was trying to make it strong but it came out weak.
"Look, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have hurt you to begin with. I was just trying to impress all the other people and seem intimidating but in the end it back fired on me and it cause you a lot of pain. I don't expect you to forgive me but simply see that I've changed. Please."
I looked up at him. Everything inside me was screaming and telling me to say no but I just couldn't bring myself to it. I looked at the ground and sighed.
"Fine, I'll give you a chance... but don't expect me to do it again," I said sternly. He nodded and held a hand out for me to take. I took it and he helped me up and brought me to my class. I guess I could give him a chance...
