He saved me

Chapter 5

Azaleas POV

Oh my god. He is in my English class. The guy I got caught staring at, is in my class. This is so embarrassing. What if he recognises me?

I felt someone staring at me so I looked up and my breath caught in my throat. He was staring straight at me. I didn't wanna seem rude so I smiled at him when he walked pass. Hmm, he seems grumpy. I mean I would be too if my teacher said that to me.

Ms Peterson, I think it was, carried on with the lesson. I felt him staring at me from behind. To be honest it was a little creepy. I turned around to talk to him "Do you always stare at the back of people's heads?" I asked. He just stared at me. I waved my hand I front of his face to get his attention. He looked at me with a confused gaze. It was pretty adorable. His head slightly titled to the side like a confused puppy. " I said, do you always stare at the back of people's heads?" I repeated with an amused smile to him.

In return he just glared at me. Okay, I was just tryna make conversation Mr. Grumpy pants. I turned around after it was clear he wasn't going to answer me, and just carried on listening to Ms. Peterson.

English ended a while ago. I was now in art. And you would never guess who arrived late. That's right. It was my good oul friend, mr. Grumpy pants. This time he was seated on the other side of the room. I was seated beside a guy with a very bubbly personality and I soon learned his name was Asher. He was quite the looker. Dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and a great jawline. I zoned back into the conversation we were having about how him and horse riding were to never cross paths again.

"The horse literally jumped and I nearly fell off! I tried to stay on but ended up letting go."

"Why'd u let go?" I asked. " Okay well think of it this way. I let go and I won't have to get back up again on the horse which I didn't wanna do in the first place or I coul-"

"Wait if you didn't wanna go horse riding in the first place, why'd you go?" I said very confused. "It was a birthday party and birthday parties mean cake" he said while moving on to how much he loves cake. I giggled. He stopped and looked at me.
"W-what?" I asked all flustered. "Your laugh is the cutest thing" he said while pinching my cheeks and pouting. I smacked his hands off of me and gave him an unimpressed look.

"Ow, damn violent woman. Why are you so strong!?" he said while rubbing his hands to ease out the pain. "What did you call me?" I said in mock anger. I raised my hand up again. I wasn't actually gonna hit him, it was just for effect. He screamed and said "No no, I said 'oh, that violet woman" he pointed to a place on the wall. I looked over and saw nothing. I turned back to face him and said "There's no violet woman there?" He replies with " Oh, you must of missed it"

I rolled my eyes at him with smile on my face. Hmm, I wonder where the teacher is? I looked at the clock. They're 30 minutes late. There was only 10 minutes left of class. I turned back around to Asher "Hey ash, how come the teachers not here?" He looks up at me and says "Oh, he rarely comes to class, it's basically a free to just hang out. He's a pretty cool teacher. He brightens my day after all those painfully boring classes when he does show up." He expresses, throwing his arms around in the air.

Art ended quickly and it was now break. It was only a small 15 minute one though. As me and ash walked  out of the classroom, mr. Grumpy pants came over to us. "Hey chase, you've met Nevaeh right?" He only looked at me then kept walking. "Don't worry about him he's always like that." Ash said.

"Ah it's okay I'll get him to talk to me no matter what it takes" I say with a determined face. I look over to ash to see him pouting at me again with the look of awe. " I swear I'll hurt you" I say raising my fist. I winced from the movement. My ribs were sore from a beating I took yesterday Morning for not asking my uncle 'how his day was going', even thought it was only 8 am. It was only a small flinch that no one could have possibly seen. I looked around to make sure no one had saw. I stiffened when I saw mr. Grumpy pants looking my way with a curious gaze. I looked away as if nothing had happened. I zoned back in on the conversation with ash while having a slight panic in my head. "I'm sorry cutie, I just can't help it, you look like a little angry pup when you're trying to be scary" he whined.
