My Fairy Tale

Chapter 5

“Guess what?” I squealed to Skye as I sat down. “What?” She asked confused as to why I was so happy. She wasn’t really paying attention though; she was too busy writing down math equations. Skye was the type of girl who had a plan for the future. So she spent every single second trying to achieve that plan. “He asked for my number.” I told her not mentioning any names. This got her attention. “STEFAN?” She yelled. “Shhh!” I whispered/yelled putting my hand over her mouth before nodding like crazy. “What happened?” She practically yelled, again. “Well, he asked if I was okay because of what happened yesterday. He then asked what happened between Anika and me, so I told him, but then he asked what happened to Rose, Romeo and my dad.” I started. I could see the worry in her eyes. “So I told him, and cried, but then he hugged me and told me ‘everything’s okay’ and that ‘he’s here now,’ which I have no idea what that means. But anyway. He then asked for my number before saying ‘I’ll text you’ then rushing to class.” I finished. I didn’t tell her that I felt safe, or that I told him that I think it’s my fault, because she doesn’t know that. She gave me a huge smile before writing out more math equation as I daydreamed about Stefan.

Math finally finished and I slowly walked to English. “Little hi, little hey, little ho, little low.” Logan resisted. “You got it perfect this time.” I applauded. “I’ve been practising.” He joked, I giggled. “Shelby’s laughing! She’s in a good mood even knowing we have English! Are you feeling okay?” He questioned feeling my forehead. “Ha-ha very funny. And nothing’s wrong, it’s been a great day.” I replied. “And why would that be?” He quizzed grabbing his books. “I got to see you and Skye of course.” I joked. He just laughed. “And what else?” He stated, obviously aware of my sarcasm. “I got Stefan’s number.” I replied smiling like crazy. “Ah I knew there was something else. That’s amazeballs.” He replied. I raised my eyebrow. “Amazeballs?” I gigged. “Yeah. Erase that.” He just laughed. I just nodded before walking into class.

“Are you as bored as I am?” Logan questioned. “Yes.” I replied. “What are we even learning?” I asked. “We’re supposed to be learning?” He whispered. I just laughed. “Can I ask you something?” He asked. “Go ahead.” I nodded. “You and this Stefan guy, do you want to go further?” He whispered. I thought for a bit. “I hope so.” I answered. “Does he know about your family?” He asked. “Yep.” I replied popping the ‘p’. “Do you like him?” He quizzed. These twenty questions are getting annoying. I started thinking until there was a knock on the door. I looked up and our eyes met. Stefan. “Yes.” I replied to Logan. I saw out the corner of my eye his slight head nod. “Sorry I’m late; I had to talk to the principal.” Stefan apologised. “That’s okay. Just take a seat next to Shelby.” Mr Jones instructed. Stefan nodded and sat next to me. “Hey.” He smiled. “Hi.” I smiled back. “Stefan, this is Logan my best friend, not including Skye of course, the other girl from yesterday.” I introduced. “Hello.” Stefan smiled once again. Logan totally ignored him. I shot him daggers before giving Stefan an apologetic smile. He just nodded. I don’t know why Logan was so rude? Hmmm…

After class I said my goodbyes to Stefan before turning to Logan. I slapped him. “What the hell was that for?” He shouted. “No. What the hell was up with you being a dick to Stefan? How hard is it to say hello?” I yelled. “Why do you trust him so much?” He questioned. I gave him a confused look, meaning he needed to elaborate more. “You’ve known him for two days. Two days Shelby and he already knows about your family.” He elaborated. Logan actually raised a good point. Why do I trust him so much? I have a feeling my mouth was about to answer before my brain could catch up. “Because he cares enough to ask, because he makes me feel wanted. He makes me feel safe.” I shouted.

“Thanks.” Logan replied before stomping off. Why must I be so stupid? “Logan-” I started before he cut me off. “Don’t. Just don’t!” He shouted. UGH! ‘Of course Shelby, of course!’ My conscious shouted at me. I just rolled my eyes before walking off. My next class is with Logan, and we sit next to each other, so I don’t know how this will work. I arrived at class and took my seat. I looked next to me, to a blank chair. Where is he? Next minute he walks into class. He stares right me but looks away quickly. I watched intensely as he walked to the other side of the classroom. “Move.” I heard him shout. The boy in the chair quickly scurried and slid into the chair next to me. Logan looked at me before sitting down.
