Girl In A Boy's School by Jade Blue (desktop ebook reader .TXT) 📕

 I looked down. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know.

 'He used to be really close with his dad and that's the reason why he's always naughty.' 

I bit my lip to stop myself from crying. All these mean stuff I've been thinking about Matt when the truth is I never really knew him.

All he wanted was his cousin to be with him and I just turned against him. I'm such a bad person.  I got my stuff and ran. Jack called after me but I ignored him and ran upstairs to my room.

 I heard a knock on the door. I didn't say anything and just covered my face with my arms. 'Celia, you okay?' It was Dad. My dad. The dad that I was being mean to, the dad that i wanted to suffer.

I didn't want to see my dad ever again when he left me, but the truth is, Matt won't be able to even if he wanted to.  

'Sorry, I mean CeCe.' Dad said, 2 minutes of quiet.

'Did something happen?' I said nothing. Not because i didn't want to talk to him.

But because I couldn't trust my voice and if I said anything or looked at him, i would burst into tears. 'CeCe, I may not be very close to you but we could always talk. You know, about school and stuff. Not the girly stuff though, I'm not really an expert on that.' I smiled. 

'If you need me, all you need to do is call.' He said, before closing the door. I got up and looked out the window. Okay CeCe, these are your aims for school.' 

One: Be friends with Matt even if it kills you

 Two: Don't get emotional ever again! 

Three: Make it easier for Dad. 

I was about to go downstairs, when I saw Matt kicking the ball from my window. He looked so happy with Finn. They were laughing and throwing the ball at each other. I smiled, watching them have fun. I guess I've found another reason to like Finn.  Because he makes everyone happy. Specially Matt. 

I was in my dad's office, eating. He ordered pizza so I wasn't going to dodge this. Pizza is just so damn good. 'Do you like it?' He said.

 'Yep, its erm, really nice.' I said, looking at my watch. It was nearly time for Matt's football practice and since every time I see him, I make a mean comment, I need to start being his friend.

 For Finn, obviously. 'Celia, do you need to be somewhere?' He said, seeing me looking at my watch. 

'Erm, I'm sure it could wait.' I smiled and took another bite of the pizza. 'And it's Cece.' I added. 

He smiled. 'I don't know why I always call you Celia.' He said. 'So, I wanted to talk about what happened yesterday.' 

I froze. Shoot, how am i going to explain me running to my bed looking depressed? 'Erm. I missed my mum.'I lied. Actually, it wasn't a complete lie. I kind of did miss her even though she didn't bother phoning me.

 'Oh.' He said. He was about to say something but then closed his mouth.

 I looked at my watch again. Wow, time goes fast, I thought sarcastically.

 'You could go if you want.' He said. 'I could clear everything up.'

 'You sure?' I said, getting my bag. He nodded.

'Sure. Where are you going anyways?' I bit my lip. 'Erm, I need to go study for Finals.' I lied. 

He knew that I had to leave for another but he didn't say anything.  I loved this feeling. My mum asks so much questions before I go out but my dad doesn't.

Its because my dad trusts me. And I love that. I smiled. I ran outside to see Finn, Matt and a couple of his friends walking out of school to the field. 'Finn!' I shouted. He heard me and looked back. And Matt did. I ran to him, out of breath.

'Can I come?'  Finn smiled but Matt looked at me, suspiciously.

 'Sure, I guess.' Finn said looking at Matt.

 'I mean, I've got nothing else to do so I thought I might hang with you guys, if thats-' 

'Do you know how to play football?' Matt interrupted. 

'Erm, I-'

 'Yes or No?' He said, annoyed.

 I bit my lip.'No?' 

He rolled his eyes. 'Theres no point for you to come.' He looked annoyed.

Maybe I wasn't doing a right thing and instead of making Matt happy, I'm making him annoyed. I smiled and tried to hide that I was hurt.

'You're right. What was I thinking?' I put my hand through my hair, nervously.

'Have fun.' I turned my back on them and walked away. 'Wait!' I looked back.  Matt put his hand through his hair. 'Fine, you can come.' I smiled. They made their way out of school and I followed behind them. 

------------- 

 'YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?' I shouted. 

Matt smiled. 'For the last time, I want you to get the footballs from the forest.' 

'But its dark out there.' Finn said, helping me out. 

'Look, if you don't want to do it, that's fine!' He shouted. He looked pissed off. 

I sighed. He was doing this because he wanted to seek revenge for the way I treat him. And if this made him happy, then I have to do it. He was going through a lot already. 

'Fine. I'll do it.' I said. Everyone looked at me, shocked. Even Matt looked shocked for a second. 

'Cece, you don't need to do this.' Finn said. He looked at Matt. 'Matt, tell her she doesn't have to do this.' He shrugged.

'Finn, I'll be fine. Its just a few footballs. Don't worry.' I gave him a smile. I got a bag I made my way to the forest. I looked back. Everyone was getting ready for their game. I saw Matt looking at me.

The forest got darker from every step I took.

Okay, Matt said the footballs were going to be near the left. Okay, Lets see. I looked around. Nothing.I looked behind the trees and under the bushes.

I even moved moved chunks of mud to look.I kept on remembering the aims that I did. 'Be friends with Matt even if it kills you.' I repeated to myself.

All my clothes were wet with mud and I still hadn't found any footballs. I sighed,Then I heard something from behind. I looked back to see a football floating on some mud.

I smiled to myself. Finally. Without thinking, I ran to get the ball and I slipped, landing in a big pile of mud. I screamed.All my clothes were covered in mud. And even my hair.

Tears built up in myeyes. No, its just mud CeCe. It's just mud.

10 minutes later, I found the rest of the footballs and made my way to the field to show them.I could see them playing. When they saw me, everyone laughed. Even Finn.I felt hurt but when I looked at Matt and how happy he looked, I couldn't help but smile.

'Be friends with Matt even if it kills you.' I whispered to myself.

'CeCe, what happened?' Finn said, looking at me from head to toe.

I sighed. 'You don't want to know.'

I looked at Matt. 'Here are your precious footballs.' I said. I couldn't help but get a bit mad. He smiled.

'Thanks.' He took the bag of footballs and gave them to Finn.'Come on. We're done.' Finn said.

I nodded. Everyone went. I went to pick my bag up from the side of the fence.

'Why did you do that for me?'I looked back to see Matt looking at me weirdly.

I shrugged. 'I deserved it for the way I treated you.'

Matt raised an eyebrow. 'Really?'I smiled.

'Really.'I was about to go when Matt stopped me.

'The things I say to you.... I don't understand why you would-'

'Matt, to be honest, you've been a massive ass since I met you.'

Matt frowned.

I smiled. 'But your Finn's cousin so I don't hate you.'I walked away. He quickly walked and catched up to me. 'So if I wasn't Finn's cousin you would hate me?'

'Yep.' I smiled. He stopped. I looked back. He looked stressed and was looking down. Oh, Shoot! What am i saying? I'm supposed to be making him feel good.

Be friends with Matt even if it kills you, I thought.

I sighed. 'I was kidding.'He looked up.

It took him a while to understand and then he smiled.

'Come on, lets go.' I said.

Its been nearly 3 weeks since me and Matt have been friends.

It was great.I never got angry and he never made me. We were doing a practice exam in Maths. Matt nudged me.

'CeCe, whats the answer to number 23?' He whispered.I rolled my eyes.

'I'm not telling you.

''Oh come on, its just one question.' He whispered back, annoying me.

'Matt, I can't just keep on telling you. You've asked me 4 times now.'I looked at the front. Miss Rain wasn't here today. We had another teacher called Mr Dennis who was very strict. And I didn't want to get caught. I promised myself I would not cause any trouble and I'm sticking to that promise.

'CeCe, please. I really need to know.' Matt said. I looked at him and he looked so desperate.I sighed. 'Okay, the answer is-''Celia Celhart! Matt Damon!' I looked to the front to see Mr Dennis staring at us.I bit my lip. I looked at Matt who didn't seem bothered at all.'Sorry, sir.'

I said.'No, CeCe. This is the 3rd time I heard you two talking in class!'

He shouted.'Sorry, sir. It won't happen again.' I said.

'Of course it won't. Both of you. Get Out!'

My eyes widened. 'But Sir-'

'Don't talk back to me!' He shouted. He pointed at the door. Matt got up and walked out like nothing was wrong. Everyone stared at us. Finn looked at me
