In a world where love does not exist.

She is some girl (C.10)

I was going to chase after this mysterious girl but as soon as the bell rang I knew that the girl would already be in class and I could not bare to be seen in school for one more minute. I strolled out of the bathrooms and walked past the hallways into the heads office.

'Excuse me?' I knocked, the head teachers door to the office was half open and i let myself in.
'Oh, Alaila. What are you doing here hun?' Miss Smith; the head of the school stood next to her desk, Blaise accompanying her.
'Blaise?' I was in shock but i remembered that he had been sent to the office earlier that day.
Blaise bit his lips gently and nervously. He looked Miss Smith up and down.
'You seem to know him. As you know he is being punished for the actions he has placed in the school grounds.' Miss said to me, smiling and licking her lips. Once again Blaise and the teacher had exchanged weird glances.
'Sorry i was just going to ask if i could have the next couple of lessons off? Ive not been feeling good as everyone has been...' Before I could properly finish my sentence; Blaise interrupted.
'They have been bullying her, the kids in the school have been punishing her for my actions.' Blaise said to miss with an angry tone, not even taking a second to acknowledge me. It seemed like he was embarrassed yet proud of his actions; he protected me like i was someone special. Like i was his.

'Its fine Blaise, really you dont have to-'

'Its my fault, covering for you is one little part of it. I saw you suffering hard in class so i decided to do what i should have done this very morning. Again, this is all my fault and i want to be blamed, me not her.' He turned to miss and nodded, implying that he should take charges for everything he had done.

'I understand, Alaila your not taking any days off as everyone already knows that this is Blaise's fault and they wont be interrupting your school life anymore, i need to talk to Blaise please leave.' The teacher says to me smiling.

'Yes miss, thank you.'  I nod as i leave the room. Im not sure what feeling overcome my body at this point but i can feel my face heating up, my whole body looks like some tomato. I am blushing but at the same time i... i like Blaise's nice gesture and im not sure how to feel about it, im not sure what i feel but i dont like it either-

'Hey, watch where your going.' A girl nudges me by my shoulder and walks past with an infuriated expression left on her face. I notice that i am now in the hallway, i take a look at my arms and theyre red; i can only take a guess that my whole body is like this. Not only can i guess... i know from everyone stares.

I find myself walking closer and closer back to the bathroom.

'HEY! Everyone back off, walk away yes walk away.' Blaise, i should have expected this from him. He is like obsessed with me. I laugh it off in my mind and start to smile but quickly that smile drowns away and im left in the hallway with only lockers and him.
