An Unexpected Encounter

I always know that I'm going to have a normal day when the first thing that happens when I walk into school is getting tripped by Chad.

"Whimp" he said as he walked away with his friends. Jasmine helped me up as Lyn and Amy ran over to us.

"You shouldn't take it" said Lyn.

"It's fine, really. I'm used to being bullied" I said. I still find new ways to impress myself with how pathetic I can be.

"I know how that feels" said Amy as she took my arm.

"Come on you two, enough talking like that. You got me now" said Lyn as she struck a pose. Yeah, she's hot. I looked over at Jasmine, who seemed lost in thought. Weird.

Perhaps the last thing I was expecting today was to be suddenly dragged into an empty classroom by Heather.

"The hell do you want" I snapped at her. But I stopped once I saw her composure. She looked nervous.

"I know you hate me, but I really need to talk to you" she said. Fine, I guess I could hear her out.

"What do you want" I stated. She took a deep breath and met my eyes.

"You are the first person to ever reject me. And when you did, I didn't know how to process that. I was angry, thinking how dare you and such. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized something. I'm a bitch" she said before getting more nervous under my gaze.

"My entire life my parents have told me I was better than everyone. Everyone else was dirt simply because they weren't part of our family. And I believed them" she said. Ok, that makes a lot of sense.

"But your rejection was a wake up call. I, I'm a pretty terrible person" she said as some tears formed in her eyes.

"I'm sorry for everything I've done. I know you'll probably need time to forgive me. But I like you, and I'm willing to better myself for you" she said as she held her hands to her heart. I sighed and smiled.

"You're right, I'm not ready to forgive you. But I'm willing to give you a chance to become a better person" I said. She smiled brightly and hugged me before quickly letting go.

"Thank you. I won't let you down" she said before running off. Once she left, I got the urge to check her profile. She only had one more task.

Forgive her.
