Korah

My whole body eventually shut down the entire day. I couldn't fake the fact that I am happy when I'm not.
I tried explaining to Tatiana who is still astonished that I am like this because of Trevor,the guy I said I wouldn't want to have anything with. I'm also surprised myself that I'm this way but I have no control on the way I feel currently.

The only person I think can understand me right now is Evan.
"Why exactly are you this worried about Trevor?". Dawn who has been gazing at me,asked.

I sigh,adjusting the hem of my skirt. "Uh...I kind of said something I shouldn't have".

"Oh...". Dawn bit her power lip,hesitating.
"Do you think he would want to see me right now?". I ask,desperate for an answer.

She shake her head slowly,meaning a no.
"He kind of has this.. Habit of been alone. Talk more of when he's mad at you".

We walked to our lockers to get our textbooks for the next class.
"Have you thought of going to maybe..visit?".

Quite surprising to hear Dawn talk this way.

I took a deep breath. "No. Actually,I thought of telling Evan before going".
Dawn open her locker after inserting the password. "You may be wondering why I'm always clingy around Trevor".
I pause,Turing to hear her reason.

She slam her locker and rested on the wall. "He has a good heart".
A small smile form on my face as I gently close my locker,holding two books to my chest.

"Just forget how he acts outside. He once told me about a friend he lost a while back. I kind of guess..that's why he's like this".
I arch my brows in attentiveness. "A friend?".

Dawn nods quickly. "He only time I see him smile and laugh is when he's with his brother,Evan. Don't believe the bad you hear about him because he's not. He is sweet on the inside".

I blink my eyes in pure bliss. Dawn Is telling me the opposite of my thoughts.

"Thanks Dawn". I lean in to cuddle her.

"Bitch please,I'm no lesbian!". She snap,giggling.
I withdrew,laughing at her facial expression.
"Let's go to class". I said,tucking my hand in hers.

"Yeah...this is better.." Dawn chuckle,holding mine.

I take back my bad words about her.

Trevor wasn't in class throughout today. There are bunch of reasons why he doesn't want to but I am more than enough reason.
Mrs Rodanim called our class score today. I still represent my first place but Trevor dropped to fifth.

A lot of whispering occurred as to why he has been slacking off these days.
I remained quiet. I don't understand everything but what I know is enough to.. slack off.

I waited after everyone's departure from school but didn't see Trevor.
"Evan". I called Evan who is going out of school in his car,as i run towards him.
The car stopped sharply.

"Korah...thought you've left". He opened the door to come down.
I pant heavily, my heartbeat increased as I try to catch my breath.
"No..I.. I was waiting for Trevor. Where's he?"

Evan looked at me with pity. "You look tired".
I search his face with sympathy written all over my face.

"He already left". Evan poured out.
I gulp,nodding my head and turning to leave.
Evan stood,watching me as his hair flips to his face.
