Because Being Together Is Enough~1

Anna's POV
I am so fed up of this life. I mean, if I ask any one of you, would you ever like to eat the same food everyday? It's not that I am eating the same food everyday. The point is my life is so monotnous. It's not the way every teen will like to spend it. I don't go out for parties, always studying inside my small bedroom, never hanging out and confined with my books. It doesn't mean that I don't like to study but sometimes I do need a change. My parents have never forced me into studies. Just one day, one day I will go somewhere and never come back. I just want to get lost, somewhere, where nobody knows me and....

"Anna? Tea's ready, darling," called my mom from downstairs.
'Coming, mom,' said I.

My day dreaming came to an end and I was pushed back to reality. I went downstairs to meet my mom waiting for me. I hugged her and then drank my tea. Mm.. It was delicious.

"Anna? You're getting late!"

I looked up blankly. Oh god, I went into that trance again. It happened with me so much!

Anyways, I kissed my mom and walked to the garage to fetch my bicycle.
There it was, my new silver bicycle. It looked so exceptionally charming, parked in the garage.

I rode my bicycle to school.

Wind touched my face, softly. I again went back to my dreamy state.

I always rode my bicycle lazily.

I looked up dreamily when suddenly I saw something. Rather, I saw someone. I snapped out of my reverie. I saw a boy with red-hair. Oh! How much I loved red hair! He was definitely not of my school. I rung my cycle bell to bring him to his senses. It was to draw his attention to the road and if he didn't see me, then probably we would crash. You must be thinking why I didn't change my way. It's because there was no way to change! I pressed the brakes but it was too late.....

CRASH

"Ow! My knee. Are you blind?" I yelled at him.

"Oh! Sorry. I-I didn't mean.. I am-" he stuttered.

I looked up at him and I started to admire his gorgeous sea-green eyes! They were so beautiful. His features were so perfect and his voice was as sweet as honey.

"It's OK." I said.

He helped me get up.

"Here you go." he said, handing me my backpack that had fallen off my bicycle.

"Thanks. I should- I am getting late," said I, hoping that I didn't sound rude. "Nice meeting you."

I didn't want to listen anything from him as if I would, I would be distracted for the whole day. I wanted to get away from him as soon as possible and so I pedalled my cycle very fast. But I thought he wanted to say something. Anyways, I didn't turn around.

I parked my cycle in the school's parking lot. Oh my, I was so obsessed with my own cycle. It was the most lovely-looking cycle in the whole row (where I have parked it). I hadn't finished admiring my cycle when my eyes were covered by of course one of my friends. I wondered who was it. Oh! Alright, I knew who it was. Em! I turned around and saw that my guess was correct! I hugged her. I almost forgot to introduce you to her. She is my best-friend Emily Wills. She is more beautiful and good-looking than me. She has so lovely red-hair (I told you how much I adore red hair). I always tell her this but she says that my jet black hair are more sexy. LOL! By the way my best friend is the most popular girl of the school unlike me. We walked towards our classroom when Emily's creepy boyfriend hugged her from behind. How much I hated Albert. Albert Temple, another synonym to "show-off". I don't think he likes Emily, it's just that he needs to show off his popular girlfriend to the school. I have told Emily so many times that I don't like him but she wouldn't just listen. So, it was time for me to go away from both of them to avoid seeing them kissing.

I quickly escaped from the love birds' company and walked to my classroom all alone. On my way, I met Serena. We both chose the last seat in the classroom.

"What happened to your knee, Anna?" asked Serena, worriedly.

"Um.."

I was getting so hot in the face. I didn't care about what happened to my knee but you know, the picture of that red-haired boy appeared in my mind. I told Serena what happened while I was coming to school and she replied what I hadn't expected, "Hmm.. That must be him."

"Him? Who, Serena?" I asked her, eagerly.

"Mike Felton, the freak." said Serena, grimly.

I honestly, didn't like the way she said "the freak". But, before I could ask her anything that why she called him a freak, Miss Dion, our Biology teacher entered the class. Was something hiding behind those innocent sea-green eyes? Something, which I couldn't see?

Well, I had no time to ponder upon these silly questions as today we were doing the most boring practical of all time.

"Phew! Finally the class is over," I said as me and Serena walked towards the school ground. Frankly, I was not very good at sports but my friends make me play anyways. There was not even one period when I did not hurt myself or some one by my careless ways of playing volleyball. Yeah, I play volleyball very reluctantly of course. We have a big indoor volleyball court in our school.

"Hey why are you getting nervous again Anna?" asked my friend Serena as she saw me playing with my fingers. She held my hand and obviously felt sweat. Whenever I was nervous, you could just take a look at my hands. I felt horrible.

She very well knew I didn't want to play. How many times did I have to tell her that?

"You know," I said rolling my eyes and putting on my sports shoes.

She gave me that smirk which I hated at especially that point of time. Did I tell you that she was the captain of volleyball team? That's why I need to bear my best friend's interests.

I stood as far as possible from the volleyball net and tried to remain out of the game. I was in Serena's team of course. I always told her not to choose me as I was of no use but she didn't listen to me anyways. And now I was praying to Jesus like hell, that the ball didn't come towards my way.

I think my prayers went to God's spam folders as I could see the white ball coming straight at my face. I backed up and closed my eyes and hit my hands almost nowhere. But, to my surprise I had hit the ball. I dared to open my eyes and saw that I again hit a girl who was standing beside me and that was my all time enemy Jane Doe... I didn't want to apologise to her. Her face needs to be broken. She gave me a death glare and I smirked at her making her even more mad and spun around to make my way towards the changing room. I quitted the game which would earn me a lecture from Serena later on how playing games is important and should be a part of our lifestyle but I don't care. I didn't want to hit one of my friends this time.

I just reached the changing room when I felt a searing pain go up through my head. I turned around to find Jane looking up to me giving her most evil smile, showing all her yellow teeth. I lowered my head to see a red, cricket ball and this had me boiling with anger. I rubbed the back of my head hoping that I just wouldn't pass out. I dared not show her my pain.

"That pains, doesn't it?" she taunted and then made her way back towards the volleyball court.

I gritted my teeth. An idea came to me at that instant. I saw a baseball bat. I wasn't a violent person, but that wouldn't hurt much, will it? I held the bat and hit it with all my force on her knees making her fall.

"Bitch!" I spat.

"Anna! What are you doing?" shrieked Serena, running towards us.

I put the bat on my shoulder showing my victory. I didn't know why Serena was worried. Jane was her enemy as much as she was mine.

"What did you do?" Serena asked me, horror-struck.

Jane groaned in pain while I grinned widely. I kicked her legs and spoke, "Well-"

I was cut off by none other than Miss Potter who was my not-so-favourite Physics teacher.I hated Physics and she hated me. What kind of a situation was this? At this point of time, I was the one looking evil. Shit!

"Explain yourself, Miss Jones!" thundered Miss Potter.

"Well Miss Potter, Jane hit me first so..." I trailed off as I was awarded with Miss Potter's most popular glare.

"Detention Miss Jones. Meet me in my office at four."

With this she went away literally ordering me and Serena to take Jane to the clinic. When she was out of earshot, Jane stopped her acting of groaning in pain and got up.

"Fuck you!" she swore at me.

How dare she?

"Hey mind your language you b-" I started.

Serena got hold of my hand and pulled me away.

"Will you please stop getting in trouble?" she hissed at me while we moved through the deserted corridor.

"She hit me first. Do you think I will let her go away so easily?" I spoke angrily.

"Yes and you must to avoid problem. Now come on."

I was pissed off the whole day and couldn't stop swearing at people who irritated me even a bit. Thanks to Serena and Emily who kept me from all the fights I could've gotten myself into and almost hundred detentions from the teachers.

I almost dragged myself to Miss Potter's office. I hated detention. Who didn't? But, I have heard that she gave the worst detentions possible.

I knocked at the door and she spoke, "Come in."

I entered her office and she spoke arrogantly, "You can't be punctual, could you? You're 1 minute late."

I was about to answer her back but I bit back my tongue so I won't end up in detention for the rest of the week.

Miss Potter stood up and asked me to sit on the desk. She handed me a bundle of plain sheets and a pen.

"Miss Jones, I want you to write today's Physics class formulae on these sheets."

I opened my bag to get my physics notebook out when she stopped me and said, "No. I want you to write them all by yourself."

I snapped my head toward her in shock. I hadn't even listened to one formula in today's class... Even if I had, I couldn't have remembered even one of those shit.

She seemed to read my face.

"Tsk tsk. Miss Jones, I am afraid you'll have to be in detention for a month. Till then, you have one hour to write all the formulae."

A month? Was she serious?

I struggled writing in bits and pieces. I even tried to sneak a peak in my book as I hadn't even written anything in my notebook. How stupid of me. I was caught and then sent back home with too many taunts...
