Life goes on

-14-

It's been a week since that incident with Hanma and not much has changed. I found out recently that Baji is actually in the same school and grade as me! He's just in another class and doesn't really talk with a lot of people.

I wanted to try talking to him but I heard he was trying to focus on his grades from Kashi, so I just left him alone. Of course, we talked here and there but not much. The first time I saw him in school I was actually shocked about how different he looked.

His hair was pulled back in a ponytail and on his face rested huge glasses. It really was hilarious how different he looked and acted. Weirdly enough though, even if I knew that was my first time seeing him like that, it felt like I had seen him before.

Once more I was in school. The bell had already rung and I was getting ready to leave. As the room cleared out and people left, in walked in a certain blondie. His eyes looked around the empty classroom and his teal clashed with my green. As soon as it happened though, he rushed to look down.

His ears were glowing red and I wanted to smile at the soft view but refused too. He really was the cutest thing I've ever seen, but I wouldn't forget those words he said to me.

Stuffing his hands into his pocket he toed the tiled floor. I watched him fidget, wiping my face clean of any kind of emotions. Usually I let a smile slip but after all the rude things he said, I didn't feel the same happiness watching him.

"Look, I'm only gonna say this once," he starts. "I'm sorry bout the shit I said and did that one time..." under his breath I hear him mutter a small, 'and about the desk'.

"I also shouldn't have believed the rumors and called you out of your name," he said. This time he looked me in my eye. "I'm not asking you for forgiveness or understanding... I just wanted to apologize for the way I treated you. You didn't deserve that."

His voice was sincere, groggy even, and I reached out to beckon him closer. It didn't fix anything, nor did it really satisfy the part of me that had been hurt, but it was a start. Sure, he was a bit rough around the edges but so were a lot of people I knew. At least he had the decency to own up to his mistake and apologize.

"It's ok," I start. "You didn't hurt me,".

"No way! What I said was out of line and to call you a slut must have offended you, please don't try to make me feel better."

"Slut isn't a hurtful word to me. I've grown up around strong woman who were called that on a daily bases. So if being called that means I'm considered similar to them then I'm glad." I explain.

It was true. Slut shaming was something that disgusted me. People have the freedom to do what they want with their body so why shame others? It wasn't as if what they were doing defined their character or hurt others so why go out of your way to degrade another.

I walked up to him and squeezed his hand before letting go. He was cute and all, but to be honest I was done with the conversation. What needed to be said was already said so why linger? As I made my way to the door with my bag, his voice interrupted my departure.

"Let's hang out sometime," he said. It wasn't much of a question, but from the way he looked away from me and waited, I could tell he wanted my approval.

"I'll think about it," I said before turning and leaving out the door. Before walking out completely, I threw my head over my shoulder staring into his teal pools. "I'm glad you took my hair advice..." With that said, I left.

It didn't fix everything, but it was a start.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Extremely short chapter. This is basically the end of the back story, after this it'll be mobeius and that ßs, wish me luck. I'm not going to be publishing for a bit as I want to finish up the mobeius arc before posting it, just so I don't have to make multiple changes as I'm writing. I also might go back and fix grammar errors, add stuff. things like that. So ig this is a Hiatus for a bit. I appreciate all the love and views but as more come in I find myself worried about what's already here so I just wanna fix it...
