Paul & Moi

Chapter 15

Paul's point of view

Turn off this fucking alarm clock! It's Monday today. I don't want to take my head. I will prepare for high school quickly.

Once in my car, head to high school! Great.... I think of Nina. Why did she ignore me all this weekend? I remember the accident, the fear I saw in the back of his eyes masked by his beautiful smile. I really appreciate Nina. She is interested in who I really am while most people stop at my physique. But I'm not in love! I want to enjoy my youth.

When I arrived at high school, I decided to wait in front of the high school to ask for explanations. I hope she's not tired of me. I'm waiting for 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes, she's still not there.

I see Jake arriving almost late. He is moving towards me.

"Hey man! What are you doing here? You're going to be late and you know you didn't see the main one well!"

We are going back to high school.

"I don't care about the main one! I'll be there in 2 minutes." I answer.

I'm going to Nina's locker. And I write a little note. I sign with a heart to earn points. I would really like to know what she blames me for. I slip the little word and go to my physics class.

A blonde, Nicky, Polly I don't know too much is approaching me.

"Hey, how are you, Paul?"

"Move, I don't have time" I answer by dodgeing it

"That's not what you said in bed in the past" I hear him say behind me.

I don't know and I go back to the physics room.

"M. Davis! We have to arrive earlier!"

"Excuse me" I answer.

I'm about to sit down when the physics teacher intervenes.

"No! Get out!"

"Ex'm sorry?"

"I don't want others to take your example! Here, it's not a brewery! You don't disembark whenever you want!"

I am surprised by his reaction. I can do any bullshit in her class and this teacher never fires me. I approach her and stare her straight in the eyes. She seems a little embarrassed and unconfident.

"Are you sure of yourself, madam?" I ask.

There is a long silence.

"Get out of my class Mr. Davis!"

I grab my bag and slam the door. Anyway, his class is shitty.

I get in my car and I decide to go for a walk before Nina joins me. I pass by a coffee shop and decide to buy peanut butter cookies for Nina. I know she loves them and I really need to put all the chances on my side. As I go to the checkout, I notice that the cashier is looking at me. She's very pretty by the way! I take out my drumble smile and she winks at me. I see her writing something on the receipt.

"Call me" she whispers to me.

I smile at him and leave the shop. I put the ticket in my pocket. I get back in the car and go back to high school. Nina should be done in 5 minutes. In the meantime, I turn on the radio.

I've been waiting for 10 minutes and she's still not here. I hope I didn't get the wrong locker. I should have done like normal people and simply text him. She does not know me.

I'm not the sentimental type and no girl can keep me in a relationship. I am the type to go see from right to left and fly from flower to flower. And it's not Nina who will make me fall in love. I already told him "I love you", certainly but I didn't think so seriously. Finally, I think. I just want to know what she blames me for. What if...? No! There is no way she knows. In short, I'm not going to stay there for 10 years! I get out of my car and go to my next class.
