The Day We Met

Chapter 7

Annie's POV

I took a deep breath and tried to ignore how much I didn't want to do this. I opened the door to my homeroom and made my way to the front of the classroom. 

"Miss LeBlanc, you're late!" Mr. Crawford yelled when he saw me. "Sorry Mr. Crawford, I have a note," I said, handing it to him. He looked at the note and I saw his eyes get slightly larger as he glanced back up at me. He nodded and I walked back to my seat. I felt all the eyes on me as I sat down- well, more specifically, my bruise and cuts. I tried to keep my head down as Mr. Crawford began taking attendance. 

Even though everyone was facing the front, I still see some people glancing at me every once in a while. I was super relieved when homeroom ended, but my other classes ended up the same. I guess the word got around about the incident, and people were just really curious.

As soon as the final bell rang, I got out of my seat and to my locker as fast as I could. I had almost succeeded in making it out of the front doors until I felt someone grab my wrist and say my name. I turned around and saw Brennan standing in front of me. 

"Annie, I-I just wanted to say.." he stuttered, "I just wanted to make sure you were okay." He looked down and put his hand behind his neck. "I-I'm sorry.." he said quietly, turning around and walking away. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what. I also wasn't sure if even really wanted to talk to him at all. I continued to walk out the building and into my mom's car. 

When I got home, I went straight up to my room to start my homework. As soon as I sat down, I realized that I really should've said something to Brennan. I grabbed my phone and opened snapchat. 

annieleblanc: i'm sorry

annieleblanc: i should have talked to you

I bit my lip. What if he didn't respond? He might hate me. Then again, I might hate him, I'm not really sure. 

brennan1103 is typing

I held my breath.

brennan1103: it's..whatever.. but are you okay?

annieleblanc: eh..i'm alive so yes??

After a few minutes he still hadn't replied. I saw that he had just posted on his story and i got really suspicious, but what was on it shocked me. It was a black and white selfie with his eyes scribbled out and the caption, "i think of you all the time, but you'll never think of me. i wish you knew how much i loved you <3".
