You Coloured My World

Chapter 2 Hatred at first sight

Days had passed since that first day of school that I spoke confidently to Jason, and majority of my classmates had started giving me nicknames like 'wonder girl', 'confident nerd', "crazy right!?"...lol, but I didn't let this get into my head, I just enjoyed spending time with my new friends and Lory had also been telling me of how she's caught Jason staring at me on two different occasions recently.
       "Lory, that's not true. And even if it is, he's just thinking of a revenge plan towards me. Please don't get me more scared." I'd always tell her. But today I actually caught him staring at me, it was while Lory and I were returning from Our desks, he and his guys were headed our way, while Lory and I were headed towards theirs, I didn't want to look towards their direction but Lory kept pestering me to look at my side and lo and behold when I looked, our eyes met and for the first time at that moment, he had a warm look in his bright brown eyes, then almost immediately those same eyes turned cold and he took his gaze away.
     "Lory, did you see that??" I asked Lory, staring at Jason as he and his friends kept laughing while walking through the hallway.
  "Uh...yes, I did. He was staring at you so warmly"!! Lory said almost in an elated scream.
   " Why are you ignoring the other part?? You also saw how his gaze turned cold in that same moment in that same eyes too. It's obvious he hated me." I said seriously
  " Girl, okay what if he really hate you?? I mean, haven't you heard of love stories, which were from hatred at first sight to an happily ever after".
  "So??" I asked, fully aware of what she meant.
  Sooo, it's possible Mitchell and Jason, could be a 'thing'." she said staring at me mischievously.
  " Urge, Never." I rolled my eye at her and continued walking.
  " Com'on, mitchie. There could be a   'jachell' or 'mitson' ,at the end of this school year". She added slyly and I just stared at her and shook my head at my stupid bestie and smiled.
  " See, you're smiling" she said
" I'm only smiling at your weird imaginations towards Jason and I.I mean, you just come up with really good ideas and creative imaginations but why do you waste your imagination on stupid things regarding that bully and I ". I pointed out to her, but her mood changed.
  "Stupid...uhn"? She said sounding downcast
  " I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way"." I said apologetically
"Apology not accepted until we make a bet". She said staring straight at me.
  " A bet?Why?" I asked my mischievous Lory
  Let's make a bet that by the end of this school year, you and Jason would be a cute couple". She said jovially
" And what if we don't become a thing"? I asked
" Tho that's not going to happen under my watch, but if nothing lovey_ dovey happens between you two by the end of this school year, then you'll treat me to a nice dinner on Christmas Eve" she said giggling
  " Why shouldn't I be the one doing that? Shouldn't it be otherwise?" I asked her also giggling at my crazy bestie.
" That's what your cute bestie wants and she gets whatever she wants". She replied and playfully hit me on my arm and ran away laughing, I just had to play her...
      

             Sunday 9:00 am
Church is an important part of my life, the church is like my second family and because of the Christmas season coming soon there were a lot of meetings going as well as preparations.
While I was going to the teenagers department I felt a strong grip on my arm, and I was dragged to the side of the teenagers, tho I can't scream as a girl or how normal girls do. I thought I was been kidnapped until I opened my eyes and I was so shocked to see Jason.
    "You??!! What are you doing here?" I asked releasing myself from his strong grip
  " What are YOU doing here??" He rephrased the question back at me.
" Uh, isn't it obvious this is my church". I replied
" Well, same here" he replied cooly.
" So, why did you pull me over here like a kidnapper?" I asked staring at him with a serious look. But instead of giving me a reply, he held my hands carefully and pulled me by the waist closer to his body.
" What are you doing?" I asked slowly and softly. His touch was warm and for some reason I felt comfortable with his touch.
" Look at me". He said softly but I was trying kinda hard to free myself from his touch.
  " Let me go, please". I said finally staring at him. His gaze was settled on me, for a moment, his bright brown eyes were so warm like the other day but suddenly he let go of me and pushed me away.
" What's wrong with you??" I asked angrily.
  " What are you?" He asked coldly. His question was really confusing me.
  " Uh, I'm a human being, the girl whose pair of glasses were broken twice on the first day of school by some arrogant bully who happens to
be you. That's who I am". I replied coldly and left him.
