I knew I could've done better... I know what I did was a horrible thing to do and I'm paying for it alright, it's probably what tore us apart. I don't regret what I did because it freed her from the monsters underneath her bed, but it added more to mine. It's been a year since I was given my freedom back however I never got her back. 

You've got to be shitting me, this girl is probably one of the coldest people I've known. For the last twenty minutes since I walked in she hasn't even looked my way.When I try to say hi she flinches away and stares at me with a hateful look... The fuck is wrong with her I haven't done anything yet, but I will.

Might as well give her  a real reason to hate me.

"Can you stop that!?!!?" The princess said.

"Stop what?" I said as I looked at her with the most innocent puppy eyes.

"If you don't know, staring at strangers is creepy and it's a stalker tendency so I really hope you went to a shrink and got that checked"

Haha she talks and has a big mouth! I feel the need to make her keep talking to have more of her attention. Her caramel long hair put in with her baby blue eyes give her this angelic look. I can't drag my eyes away.

"I'm trying to protect my poor self from the evil witch's glare" I told her with a humorous tone but I believe she didn't catch that because if stares could kill someone I'd be dead right about now.

"Just to make things clear you don't have to talk to me nor do we have to make small talk. I'll do the work and you just shut up and keep out of my way" Kimberly looked away and started writing notes for our final project. 

What the hell if she seriously believes I'm going to let that slide she's completely wrong. So I raised my hand.....

"Yes Mr.Jansen what do you need?" Mr.Benjamin asked

"I wanted to know if we could work on this after school, I certainly believe we need more time to work together on this." I emphasized the word together to make my point clear. I need to figure her out no one has ever disliked me so fast if anything they would've been kneeling at my feet.

I felt her her eyes burning a hole on the side of my head so I looked at her and smiled.

"Yes! of course. Everyone has to do so since we don't have enough time in class to finish everything. Great question!" 

I looked down at Kim's hands to see them gripping the pen so hard it seemed as though it would snap if she didn't stop strangling the poor pen. 

At least she's feeling something towards me, it's better than being ignored. 

All of a sudden her pen fell to the floor. I leaned forward to grab it for her as she did the same. I grabbed it and as I handed it to her I intentionally grazed my fingers against her and that's when I felt it. 

The spark that started on my finger, traveled through my veins, and reached my heart. Filling it with something I've never felt before.

I immediately sat back, feeling startled.

I pretended to be listening to Mr.asshat's lecture. However, the only thing I could do in the moment was stare at Kim through my peripheral vision.

She felt it too, I know it.

 She's so still, that if you looked at her in this moment you would think she was a statue.
