Chapter - 12 ( climbing over wall)

Ellina's P. O. V

Reading Wuthering Heights sure is a torture, I even didn't understand a thing like is this even English? Sorrowfully I keep my book back in my bag and proceed to get up from my seat. I stay here during lunch this time wanting to read a few books to widen my knowledge, I must admit it only give me headache and done no good . But, on the other hand I think I looked fairly  studious, even if I don't understand a thing I'm sure that I looked like I was reading it very carefully. Unfortunately, if one bother to looked carefully I haven't even turn a page the whole time.

Secretly ashamed of myself I went out to get a breath of fresh air, I never thought of it deeply but I miss home. I didn't probed further into this or pay any special attention to it as I don't want to feel more homesick. I looked at the empty corridor feeling a little desolated, this part of the school is usually empty during lunch , the first floor and the playground is usually packed with people during this time around .

I shudder when the wind blow , inhug myself trying to keep myself warm, I don't understand why it was so hot in the morning and now it's windy , cold and the sky start to darken . I felt cold on my back, my instinct telling me that I was not alone here, I looked back focusing my eyes at the the edge of the classroom wall, there is a feeling that someone is watching me which make me particularly uncomfortable. I quickly walked away not wanting to stay here any longer, I gulp still feeling the piercing gaze making my hair stand on their end , I let out a breathe that I didn't know I was holding as I could hear the loud noises of people from afar, fastening my footsteps to the point that I'm already running.

I slow down reaching my destination  , am I just being paranoid? But, I clearly felt it, “ Ellina! I thought you were in the classroom? ” I looked at John who was walking towards me still a little scared.

I forced a smile, “ I was bored so I come here. ” I answer trying my best to hid the tremor in my voice,  John smile at me but paused  his gaze shifting towards my back, “ Rue? Where are you going in such a hurry? ” I heard the footsteps behind us stopping next to me as I turn to looked at the person , Rue also looked at me as she studied my expression , when she looked at me with those eyes I always feel like she could see through me and read my mind, the feeling that I don't like.

I looked away, will it looked too intentional if I leave? What will John think? How will it looked like to others? If I go now would they think it was because of Rue? Maybe , I should stay a little longer and leave, better if I had the chance to talk to her about the extra credit work? I didn't have any other thing to do anyway so I better seize the chance . I had already put what happened at the very back of my head after I reached what I felt was a safe place , blaming it on my cowardice and convincing myself that I was just being paranoid.

, “ No particular reason. ” Rue reply finally looking at John, “ Didnt the teacher asked you to come to him during lunch break have you go? ” John is one of the best students in our class sonthe teacher probably called him to talk to him about something study related.

, “Shit! I've completely forgotten about that. Bye!! I gotta go. ” he had already bolted right out running in a hurry.

I stand still in my place, “ Rue can we talked about the extra credit work. ” I move along  Rue who walked towards the hallway, it becomes more and more packed with people as we move forward

, “ Let's talk later, ”

, “ But, you said later last time too, ” I didn't even say much , she appear a little frustrated but I'm not planning to let her go yet. She didn't know how much I search for her, she is just like Will O the Wisp, appear and disappearing whenever she wants and when she didn't want to be find it's impossible to see her.
