Serine

***

Impatiently I began drumming my fingers and kept glancing at the clock every 2 seconds. Hoping that the bell would just ring any moment.

5 minutes Serine.

Just five more minutes.

Chill.

But I absolutely couldn't. I don't know what was out there for me ever since Alexander told me to meet him after his practice, it hasn't left my mind.

Another thing that just refused to leave my mind was that night. Where I kissed him. I, the person who hated Alexander's guts from the first day, I kissed a few months later.

Why?

You're asking who exactly?

aaannnd she woke up. Duh, myself. I rolled my eyes. Allow me to ask, why else would a girl kiss a boy she never liked in the first place?

I don't know... maybe it was on impulse.

That's really all you got? You still haven't realized that you like him.

I snort.

All heads in my homeroom snap in my direction-  including Mr Rossini who was giving me questioning look through his spectacles.

"May I ask what the joke is?"

Perfect.

Look what you got me into you, little witch.

"Its nothing Mr Rossini, I'm just not feeling too well and my throat is a little itchy." I lie and he stares at me, squinting his eyes as I maintain a straight face.  "Next time, please do it somewhere else." I nod almost a little too soon and mumble a 'Yes sir' before gluing my eyes on my notes.

I didn't want to get distracted anyways but that was easier said than done. I'd have to force myself because next week is when I begin writing my finals. I shut my eyes closed, trying to make myself read the notes in front of me.

History notes.

As if on queue, the bell rings. I immediately shut my book closed and stand up, preparing to leave early today. But Mr Rossini doesn't agree with that as he calls me. "Williams," his voice stern.

Fun fact, this man was truly a teddy bear. 110%

"Yes sir?" I turn around. "I wanted to show you your history test results."

I frown.

Huh?

I've always been a average on my history so I really didn't see the point in seeing my results earlier than anybody else did. "99%"

What?

"From your usual 54+ percent, you have the highest mark in the whole grade." I blinked. "Congratulations." He cracks a smile. "I'm very proud of you Serine." The edges of my lips rise. "I- thank you Mr Rossini. Thank you." I say staring at the paper that was on his computer and he nodded happily. "Thank yourself my child. "

Moments later, I'm outside the door, telling Levine about everything and she begins singing about how intelligent I am. I chuckle as I watch her, scream with a smile on her face as we make our way out. "By the way," she begins as we reach the parking area. "What was with that snort in there?"

I open my mouth only to close it again. "I don't know" I shrug. She folds her arms- giving me that 'I know you too well' look and I sigh, "Okay fine, this is going to sound crazy and you won't believe it." I pause.

"Well... tell me." I let out another sigh and look at her. "I thought I- this a going to sound so stupid."

"Girl do you want to die before you tell me?"

"I think- I thought I liked Alexander." I blurt out.  My eyes widen as I realized how badly it sounded, especially how she could misinterpret what I actually meant.

It wouldn't have sounded better even if I had said 'hey so I was randomly pondering and boom my subconscious says I like Alexander.'

How stupid would that sound right?

Levine stares  at me as d saying I'm the most dumbest and slowest person on planet Earth. "What? Say something." I plea. "I-" she chuckles. "You didn't know?- I- ok." I blink this time. "What are you talking about?"

"It's so clear that both of you like each other." she says and I burst out laughing. "You're- you're kidding right?" she stares at me blankly. "Right?" she says nothing.

"Holy shit you're being serious." My eyes widen. "Vine- I don't- I don't like him. I've gotten somewhat close but nothing like that." I say. "We talk sometimes and we kis-"

"What?"

oh no.

"Forgot that one little detail?" I smile innocently. "I can't believe you didn't tell me."

"I just- okay never mind that ok? Tell me, what makes you think I like him. It's only a pure friendship that exists."

"A pure friendship that you never wanted to begin with.  The fact that you never cared about him and Kelly to begin with but the hurt was easily seen in your eyes when she kissed him. How you guys were lost in your own universe as you stared into each other's beautiful eyes before bungee jumping. Oh bestie, you have forgotten that there is a fine line between love and hate."

She was right. 

And I couldn't believe it.

I did.

All along I had all this bottled up inside and I never realized that because I hated him.

I had feelings for Alexander McCann. "Hey,"

My heart stopped. My feet were no longer on a cement floor but a green one this time.
I rose my head and saw all the familiar faces of the boys of the sports team.

I was at the field.

"You came."
