Chapter 27

Things aren't supposed to be like what they seem when all you think about is how you screw things up.

Believe me or not, I couldn't take Matt off my head. The way he held his tears back and the way he kept pushing me off him.

I know I can be a little rough. But hey, it's not my fault that his weak. Right?

What am I saying? Of course his weak but I took it for granted and now I pay the price.

Sighing, I took a stick of cigar on my pocket and a lighter. I lit my cigar and breathe in and let the effect of nicotine overtake my lungs and my mind.

I closed my eyes and huffed out some air.

Cigar always makes me feel free. It's fucking addictive.

"You're smoking again?" Xander asked.

Yeah I smoked earlier when before I drive myself to school. Got any problem with that?

I opened my eyes and turned to him.

"Isn't it obvious?" I asked sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes and shooked his head.

"You do know we're in school property? Right?" He asked.

"Duh. We're in the back building and no one ever goes here and since we've decided to be late in our first period, this is the only thing I can do to waste time. Now shut the fuck up and let me enjoy my cigarette." I spat.

He give me a glare and crossed his arms.

"Give me one stick." He said, giving up.

I smirked and grabbed my pack of cigar on my pocket. I threw the pack of cigar at him with the lighter.

He quickly caught it and picked on stick and lit it. He put it against his mouth and breathe in and huffed out.

"What flavour is this?" He asked.

"Menthol." I stated while looking up the skies.

"Fuck, it's so minty." He said and huffed.

I chuckled.

"Say, I never got to hear you anwser my question." He randomly said.

I turned to him and raise a brow.

"About what?" I asked him.

"About you ditching the party. Dude, the chick that you were about to bang was totally into you!" He said.

My eyes widened. I flickered my cigar and throw it off the ground and slowly stomped it.

All the memories from that night came coming back to me like a sudden flashback.

Fuck, my consciousness is eating me up again!

"Can you just forget about that. Please?" I said with pleading eyes.

"And why is that?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes and leaned against the brick wall.

"Because, I don't wanna talk about it dipshit." I muttered under my breath.

"You promised me that you're going to tell me." He argued.

"Promises are meant to be broken." I retored.

He shook his head and throw his stick of cigar somewhere far. He then turned to me with an annoyed look.

"What's up with you? It's like you're hiding something from me." He said and frowned.

"It's nothing personal dude." I simply said.

He sighed, his expression suddenly changed into a pleasant one.

"Is it about a girl?" He asked with excitement, curiousity fills up his blue eyes.

I huffed and looked at him irritatedly.

"No." I said.

"Is it about a guy?" He randomly asked.

I frowned deeply and quickly punched his left arm.

"You think I'm a fag?!" I angrily asked.

He glared and slowy caress his left arm. Pain plastered on his face.

"What the hell dude! I was just kidding!" He groaned while caressing his left arm.

"You're abusive side is showing up again." He mumbled

I huffed and crossed my arms. My temper is getting high again and to think smoking can cool me off, it failed me this time.

"Come on, let's go to class." I said and picked up my backpack.

He nodded and picked his backup as well. We both quickly went inside the school premises.

I glanced at my wristwatch too see what it is.

8:50

Great. I'm fucking fifty minutes late.

When we got inside, we both quickly ran to our classrooms. Xander has Science class for his first period. Ha! Sucks to be him.

We both went to our seperate ways. He went upstairs because Science class is upstairs while my class, English class, is only at the ground floor.

Again. Sucks to be him!

I slowed down when I got nearer towards the door. I opened the door and as expected, the English teacher give me a glare and everyone was looking at me

"Mr.Davis... You're late again!" She stare at me with a glare.

I rolled my eyes and didn't bother her and just went back to my sit. I walked across the aisle.

I was about to sit down but a pair of eyes stopped me. I quickly looked at that person.

My heart starts beating fast when those hazel eyes stares at me.

Matt Evergreen? You're.........something...

I quickly looked back when he stares back at me. I sit down and pretend to listen to the teacher.

Those eyes. They're so....breathtaking. I never realized hazel eyes were those beautiful.

I shooked my head. What am I thinking?!

"Zac, come here please. I need to talk you."

I groaned. I walked towards the teachers table. She looked at me with a frustrated looked.

"Did you help Matt with your project?" She asked

I nodded my head, obviously lying.

"The truth Mr.Davis." She demanded.

I sighed and shooked my head.

She sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Matt. Can you please come here." She said.

My eyes widened and my hands started sweating. I turned around and stared at him.

My heart rate starts going up when he notice that I was staring at him. I quickly looked away, trying to hide my blush,

I moved a little bit closer to him,when he got closer to us. I touched his bare hand that I use

My heart beat starts beating fast. I can't

"Mr.Evergreen. I'm giving Zac here a second chance to help. Since your project is almost finished, I expect that to be finished by next week." She told Matt

Matt nodded and smile in response.

The english teacher turned to me with a promising look.

"Zac, I hope you can help Matt. I know you weren't much of help judging on how the project was done. Everything is in Matt's point of view while yours is empty. Just please help him." She said.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead and nodded.

"Don't worry.After this project, you two won't bother spending time together. I can see it bothers your Mr.Davis" She said as she narrowed her eyes to me

I didn't say anything.

Okay, maybe I screw up thing before but maybe he'll forgive me when I finally helped him.

I shooked my head.

"Not at all. I'll help him. I promise." I said as as I looked into his hazel eyes.

His hazel eyes that hypnotized me earlier stares back at me. God, he's really something.

"Now the both you can go." She said.

We both waked away. Matt quickly walked to his chair. I eyed him intensely, wishing he could stare at me again.

I sighed and sit down, bowing my head and groaned in frustration.

"What are you doing to me Evergreen?"
