When I Turned the Television On

When I Turned The Television On.

| Alice Midorikawa |

I look at Seth angrily and clench my fists in disbelief.

THAT BASTARD!
THAT STUPID, STUPID SON OF A BITCH!

"Uh, Alice? I think we have a major problem here," interrupted Renn.

We both look around the room, all eyes on us.

"...excuse me"

I stand up and walk out of the classroom.
I accidentally brush past Seth, his shoulder meeting mine.

EW.

SETH GERMS!!

I run fast to the nearest restroom.
I rinse my arm with water thoroughly.

Ah, dammit!
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!

Why is he in my school?
Is he here to harass me?

UGHH!

I can't quit this school!

I rub my eyes in frustration and bend down to wash my face.
I look at myself in the mirror then try to calm myself down.

Whew.
It's okay, Alice.
You can do this.
Don't be a weakling.
You can't lose.
You mustn't lose.
At all.

Never!

I wipe my face with my handkerchief and head back to the classroom.

"Alice..."

Renn looks at me worriedly.

I sit back down and look at Sir Harvey.

"...you may start the class, sir."

He looks at me and nods.
I search for Seth when I see Aiden's face.

Whoa!
Is he my classmate?
Awesome!
I didn't know that.
Well, now I know, at least there's someone else to talk to.

He catches my stare and smiles widely.

Ah, crap.

That caught me off guard.

I smile back and admire his physical features.

Hazelnut hair.
Dark, brown eyes.
Has different kinds of killer smiles.

I get lost in my own thoughts, thinking about him.
I mean, who could possibly get any better than him?
