immortals

first love

we met in high school.
we were walking in the same direction,completely distracted with our own things,and we walked into eachother,dropping our things.
and i didn't care much, except when my pre-made cheat sheet for my test slipped out.

and so did his.

we both scrambled to pick them up in such a rush,and i met with his eyes.
they were glowing with competition.

"you do know your my new enemy now,right?" i teased,admiring the little freckle he had on his neck.

"i do,it's so on,opal." he smirked,his eyes exploring my body in a curious fashion,i felt my face heat up,in an attempt to try and ignore it i ruffled his hair.and because he's significantly taller than me,obviously i had to go on my tip toes.
it was only a second after i realised what i did. because now he was red,and making a hard effort to avoid the eye contact he so easily fed to me just a moment ago.

and the bell had interrupted us,and we both exclaimed "the test!" as we ran to the exam hall,because the test had started 5 minutes before the bell goes. and by the time we got there we were out of breath,and hand in hand.
"so sorry we're late!!" he huffed,leaning on the door frame.
i looked down at our hands as he persuaded the teacher to let us in,wondering if he forgot we were holding hands,or why hes holding hands with a girl he had met for the first time.

"okay fine,just hurry up and get started." mr burgess whispered,motioning for us to take our seats. and everything was great, except for the fact that me and mr competition had picked different science topics to do the test on. and we were so focused on getting answers down, i almost didn't catch his name.

on the back of the sheet.

my heart dropped to my stomach as i frantically traced over the questions,and the answers were horrifically wrong.
i looked over at him,and his face went a cold shade of white

we are so fucked.

_____________the next day____________
we sat there in defeat,looking at the fat red zeros on the top corner of our exams. he looked like someone had died

"hey,remember we're top graders,it won't effect our grade boundary!"

"my mom..." he sighed,looking ahead of him.
and i don't know what got into me,but for the first time i felt like fighting for someone
even if it was a random nerd who i failed my test with

or maybe it was because i never had to worry about what my parents thought of me. but i let myself be delusional for a while.

"grayson?"

"mm."

"i have an idea."

and now i was sneaking down the hallway,with my fake toilet pass,sneaking into a classroom where the exams were,along with the clean ones.

i picked the lock with my hairpin,and slipped into the room,pacing around trying to find the right exam.
after cleaning some boxes i finally found it,and the answer sheet.score!

i stuffed the paper down my shirt and snuck back out,shutting the door behind me.

he's gonna love this.

i walked over to him,paper in hand,feeling proud of myself.

"you.janitors closet.now."
he got up hastily,following behind me.
my heart was beating faster than usual,but i assumed it was because i had still been on a ego high after stealing that paper,but i was soon proved very wrong.

i went in,him following behind me and shutting the door.god it's so cramped in here.
"i got you a new paper." i smiled,looking up at his now warm face.
he rested his arm above me,resting it on the shelf,so i was forced to look at nothing but his face.

"thank you,opal" he laughed,ruffling my hair.
i tried to keep my  breathing at a somewhat normal pace but jesus he is making me nervous.

he put the paper on the shelf he was leaning on,filling it out,and smiling in anticipation.
"annnd done" he announced,meeting eyes with me.

"your pupils are abnormally big.don't tell me your in love with me already,opal?" he teased

i put my hand over his mouth,rolling my eyes at his muffled laughs,and for some reason that made him laugh harder.

"asshole." i laughed,letting him laugh out loud.

i'm sure everyone wondering past this closet was wondering what was happening,but honestly i didn't care.

he made me feel normal.
and once my mum found me sitting on the kitchen floor,alive with a knife in my side,she told me never to fall in love with a mortal.
but i brushed it off,she's probably just doing mom stuff.
right?
