Cliché But Not Too Cliché

I stood there anxiously waiting for them. Checking every few seconds to make sure I don't miss him. Then a ping came for my phone, it was a text from Sugar,my bestie.

It read:

Did you get a chance to talk to him yet?

I responded to her with a simple 'no' and put my phone away. That is when I Noticed him walking up to me! He looked fuming. Wait did he think I was waiting to mock him or something!?

Before he could say a word of accusation I blurted out, "I'm just here to ask if it was my fault she called you, not to mock you!"

He looks at me in confusion. Then suddenly his face turns into a grimace. You'd think his dad died or something!? Which might be true so I shouldn't think that.

He starts, sadness coating his voice, "they said that they will cancel my scholarship because I was technically building you". "What!?", I said with a little gasp of surprise. "Yea, what am I gonna tell my family?", he said, his voice slightly cracking from the emotions.

It broke my heart to see him like this. I admit that I don't like the guy but I wouldn't want this to happen to even my worst enemy.because I know the feeling.

" Let me go and tell the teacher everything", I said, starting for the direction that Mrs. Femaleaizawa went.

When he stopped me by saying, "I already tried telling her that you stabbed me with a pin unintentionally, but she wasn't having it and said that if she hears about this from anyone she is going to expel me".

What is wrong with that teacher! She even glared at me when she went to our class. This is going to be a long year if she is our homeroom teacher.

I sigh and ask, " is there anything I Can do to make up for this mess?" . "Well it is a big deal as I almost got expelled", he said, mischief sparkling in his eyes.

I quickly added, "I will do anything you want if it is within my power or isn't illegal."

Suddenly, His features became serious and he said, " Miss hijabi assaulter, never say that you will do anything for anyone, especially guys".

"Well if you asked something weird then I would have punched you", I said, tipping my nose up in the air and crossing my arms over my chest.

He bowed down a bit to be in my earshot. "Try me", he said, a smirk blooming on his smug face.that made me so annoyed! Typical men, always thinking they know everything.

So I punched him in the face.I could feel his molars under the soft tissue of his cheek.

"What was that for!?", he grunted, grabbing his cheek in pain and kneeling. "So that you don't think that I can't take care of myself, you don't have to be my dad you know!", I huffed, getting ready to leave this stupid guy here.

When he gave a chuckle which made my heart strangely skip a beat. Like seriously, I need to see a doctor!

Then he got up and said, " what about my compensation?". I scoffed and said, " you already got your compensation, you got to feel a girl's hand, I know that's rare for you".

"You think that is enough for almost getting me suspended", he said, the grimace coming back to his face. God! What am I gonna do with him.

"Fine, what do you want then?", I said, giving up the hope I Can slip out this one. "I want you to give me a dinner treat and I chose the restaurant" he said, a grin pasting on his face.

" You know what, fine by me at this point," I said, throwing my hands up in frustration. I started to walk back to my dorms.

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HIJABI ASSAULTER!!" , he yelled from behind. I just flipped him off ,too annoyed to even answer back.
