High School Crush

Sam's Weird Mood

Chapter-11

Over the next few days classes are fun. Miss. Flower has started with Romeo-Juliet. I've gotten to know more about Sam. He is not much of a silent person that I thought him to be. In fact he is fun and yes I am liking him more day by day! Sometimes I find it hard to calm myself with all his smile and words, lips moving in animated form just beside me. Sometimes I think how it will feel just to touch that lip with mine and taste it.

Like every other day when I enter our class room I find Sam already in his seat. He smile at me when he saw me enter, I smile back but can't help thinking that he looks sad inspite of the smile he gave me.

"Hey good morning" I say.

"Good morning Katie" he replied and remained silent.

"Um..did you complete your assignment?" I ask him. So much for starting a small talk. Obviously he must have done it. He is Sam Williams! Topper!

"No. I didn't get the time to complete it" he answered.

This totally caught me off guard. I just stared at him surprised contemplating whether I heard him correct or not.

"There is no need to be surprised Katie. Me too I am a normal human student" he stated staring right into my eyes. I can't help but think why he is so sad today.

"But you are topper of our class" I say as if he is not aware of it.

At this he snorts. What's with all the weird looks and weird smiles he's giving me. Something must be seriously wrong. But what?!

"Katie don't let my marks intimidate you. Of all people I don't want you to be intimidated by me or by my marks or anything about me" he said again staring right into my soul.

"I am not intimidated by you. I am just stating the fact." I reply not knowing what to say under his soul penetrating gaze.

"Thanks" he said this time looking outside the window. Why is he acting so weird today? I can't help but think to myself.

"Then you'll have to do it five times tomorrow" I say again as if he doesn't know about it.

"I think I can manage it" He answered still looking outside the window.

After that we attend the class in complete silence, neither of us spoke a word. Today's class seems to be dragging on. Just then the bell goes off and I breathe in a relief sigh not realizing that Sam was looking at me. I turn at him and saw him staring at me again with the same blank look on his face. And just like that he got up and went away.

During lunch break when I came out of washroom, through the window, I saw Sam sitting alone at the back. I can't help but notice again that he looked so sad. I can't just walk past him leaving him like that. I have to do something. So I go straight to the cafeteria and pick up two lunch plates from there and walk straight to him. When I reach there he just kept staring at me without a word.

"Are you going to help me?" I ask and motion for him to take one plate. He took it with a questioning look.

"What are you doing out here with two plates of lunch? Are you going to eat both?" he asked chuckling softly.

Wow...that sound was amazing! I've never heard him chuckling. And yeah it was sexy too. But I need to keep aside my emotions for now.

"Don't be silly. I brought it for you" I said.

He raised his eyebrows waiting for me to explain. So I did "I didn't want to eat alone. You know these days Jack is busy with Olivia" I said as if this explains everything.
