Sticking with you (bxb)

Chapter 10

Alice's pov

I'm trying to concentrate but I really can't

From the time he sat down next to me and we made that characteristic eye contact, I didn't dare to look at him. After 5 minutes Mrs. Grant came into the classroom anyway, so I had to have my attention on the lesson.

But I couldn't do that either

I wanted to hear what Mrs. Grant was saying, because I knew it was interesting, but all I could think of was those big dark brown eyes staring into mine

I sighed as I rested my head on my left hand

I couldn't understand why I was acting like this before. I should have been able to look him in the eyes and he should be the one who shouldn't be able to. He should be ashamed or something

Whenever he and his friends get the chance to humiliate us, they do it without a second thought. From the moment we met, they followed us from behind just to make us feel uncomfortable

I should have been angry with him

But whenever he looks at me with those eyes I can't think straight

Like today

I didn't know if I sat like this and thought about him and what had had happened between our groups for minutes or hours. To be honest, it seemed like hours until I felt his eyes on me and that's what snapped me out of my thoughts. It was like he was begging me to turn around and look at him

But all I did was close my eyes, put my hair in front of me to hide my face and hold my breath. I may or may not have blushed. After a few minutes I heard him sigh and assumed he stopped looking at me, so I exhaled opening my eyes and tucking my hair behind my ear

I looked at the clock and saw that it wouldn't be long before the bell rang and indeed in a few minutes all the children stood up from where they were sitting and started running with their school bags in one hand as if someone was chasing them. I stood up too, grabbing my bag

I waved to Mrs. Grant as I left the classroom and saw her do the same with a smile out of the corner of my eye. She must not have realized that I wasn't paying attention in class, not that she was telling us something important, we were just remembering some things

I was going to my locker when I heard someone running behind me and then I felt them grab me by the shoulder. I stopped and turned to them curiously. I thought it was weird to have someone sitting next to me, especially Gabe, but this was even weirder because now the same person was in front of me looking me straight in the eye while his hand hadn't moved

I definitely had that expression I had before. Wide eyes, mouth open

I didn't even know what to do

At first I wanted to start yelling, something was wrong with him today, but hen I thought about it and regretted it. In the end I remained silent waiting for him to speak. I saw him move his mouth but no words came out and then he stopped trying and looked at me worried. I didn't pay attention to see if it was like that at all throughout the lesson

He took a hesitant step forward probably expecting me to move or run but I didn't. It's not that I didn't want to do what he might have thought, I just couldn't move my legs.

All that time we were looking at each other and when he came closer to me I saw him let out a shaky breath. Then, he started talking but I could feel his nervousness

"Hey" he started, taking a more shakier breath than before and then continued "Well I know this probably scares you, I mean it's only fair..." and then he started mumbling unintelligible words and I couldn't make out what he was saying. Even his eyes instead of being glued to mine were looking everywhere but me. His hands were making strange movements in the air as if he was drawing something

He was really nervous and i felt sorry for him for a second

But if I wanted to know what he wanted to tell me, I had to stop him from all this. So I grabbed his shoulders with both my hands and shook him a little to make him look at me again and calm down. "Gabe relax just get to the point" I said a little relieved that he was looking at me again and started relaxing

He didn't speak at first as he looked at my hands, grabbing his shoulders. When I noticed him, I immediately took them away, while my  eyes didn't leave his. "Just talk" I told him again a little angry because he wasn't talking. I had to go get my books for the next class as well. I rolled my eyes as he continued to stare at me without saying a word and quickly whispered a "fuck you" as I was about to turn and leave

But then I heard him speak and I stopped were I was. It was about time. It looked like talking to me was his mission

"I just wanted to apologize for yesterday" he said looking at me expecting me to probably curse or hit him but when I did neither he smiled hopefully "Jack was very wrong to do something like that. it was very strange too" he said and took a deep breath afterwards " and I know Arthur has felt uncomfortable" he stopped again and I could see in his eyes that he wanted me to talk

But I just wanted to laugh. I didn't but I could have

I wanted to hear what else he had to say, because he seemed like he meant it and that wasn't weird anymore

it was unreal

I hope you liked it
