Don’t Cry Baby

Blue eyes haunt my dreams , sleep doesn't come easy. Every time I close my eyes I see him , I feel him touch me. Every time I hear a sound outside of my window my heart races and my muscles clench. I'm living in fear that any day now he's going to come racing back. I haven't seen him since I ended things, it's been a whole week. I feel like he's taunting me, waiting for me to crack. I can't focus on anything, not on school not Damien. Damien confuses me most of all. I don't understand what we are. We haven't kissed since the night Ty hurt him, I'm too scared to get close to him like that. I keep thinking Ty's hiding out in the bushes somewhere stalking me , waiting for me to put my guard down so he can strike. Like he's the wolf and I'm his pathetic little prey.

"Miss Walters." The stern voice of my science teacher pulls me out of my thoughts. His thin lips turn down at the corners, his bushy eyebrows scrunched together. I stare at him blankly having no idea what was going on in class. I've been sitting here the whole time , mind racing. Thinking about everything but biology. "We were just talking about the reproductive system , do you have anything to add to our discussion Miss.Walters." I bite my lip as I attempt to come up with an answer.

"Uh..abstinence is key?" Everyone erupts into laughter , my face grows hot.

"Principals office miss Walters, I won't have that kind of behaviour in my class." I grab my things , step down from the high bar stools at the table and stalk off out of the classroom with my books held tight against my chest.

The principals office is rather small. The desk is covered with papers, a computer and a name plate. He has shelves that stand tall behind the desk covered in certificates and awards. The only thing I'd like about having this office is the window just beside the bookshelf with a great view. Trees and the back field, it would be nice to sit there and think between classes. The sound of the door opening and closing brings me back to reality and principal Montgomery comes into full view and sits down behind his desk. His fat belly causing him to have to move back so that he can fit between his desk and he chair. He sits down with a huff of breath and gets comfortable. It's silent for a moment as he sorts his papers , brows furrowed.

"So Miss.Walters, your Bio teacher Mr.Finley says you were being disruptive in his class and not paying attention."

"That is true but I have a lot going on right now and I didn't mean to be disruptive." Mr.Montgomery nods keeping hold of his grim expression and bends down to search through his drawers.

tomorrow with Damien at that time. I'm sure he'll understand. "Thank you Miss.Walters you may go back to class
