Chapter Text
It had been over 2 years since Me and Rafe stopped being friends. He’s still a dumbass, I heard he had to even go to a camp now! As for me, I’m a 9th grader. So I’m in my first year of Highschool now. Which doesn’t actually erase everything from the past.
I still love art, it was even one of the classes I chose to take when I had to move to a new school. But unlike the cathedral, Rafe’s not there. I’d usually say this would be a great thing, I mean he snitched on me! Just to get away from his problems! But I’m exchange, I had nobody besides the pencil in front of me and the project I needed due by the end of the hour.
I was just staring blankly, usually I was overflowing with ideas. And it wasn’t like the project was hard! It was just learning how to blend crayons without it looking like a complete mess. I did that a billion times before at the cathedral. But this time was a bit more different.
This is just stupid, why am I obsessing over a random boy who screwed me over! I didn’t have a crush on him back then, so why does it feel like it now? Just 2 years ago I was heartbroken and making Rafe’s life miserable. It’s like he’s got a perfect way of winning me over, even if he doesn’t realize it.
When I was lost in thought, my art teacher tapped me on the shoulder. Which made me impulsively jerk back. Which is probably the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever did in class. But at least it was a good distraction.
‘Your paper is blank, you haven’t even written your name on it.’
The teacher blankly point out, I was silently praying that nobody else was listening as a swiftly apologized and wrote my name along with the date.
When the teacher walked away. I took a quick glance at the time, and terrible news, there was only 10 more minutes left. 10 minutes left, and I did nothing. All that time I was thinking of a boy. A boy who I hated. Well, hopefully hated.
Ps: it was safe to say I got an F on that assignment.
