Who Is He?

Chapter Seven • Romeo and Juliet

I walk into the school with a small smile... which slowly drops and I see Iris looking straight at me with a smile

I frown in confusion but begin to walk towards her in quick steps.

I stop when I'm right in front of her, she looks at me for a second before throwing her arms around me.

I slowly put an arm around her and hug her back in shock,"You're not mad?".

She pulls back to look at me,"Bro, I've been waiting to tell you that I wasn't mad at all for days, but my phone may of fell off the balcony".

I look at her seriously for a minute before bursting into laughter,"I'm not even gonna ask".

She smiles sheepishly and throws and arm around my shoulder and leads us to our first class.

We walk into the blocks while laughing and joking and we fall into a comfortable silence.

I walk slowly and then lift my head up to look at the classrooms upstairs and instantly my eyes connect with the boy i couldn't wait to see.

Xavier is leaning against the railing while looking at me with a smile.

I stop walking and just keep the eye contact with him, he seems a bit flustered at being caught staring but he keeps his confidence and stares back at me with a charming smirk.

He lifts his right hand off the railing and gives me a small wave, but he doesn't stop there and lifts his hand to his lips and blows me a kiss.

Oh my fu-

I look back at him surprised as he continues smirking down at me, I blush and then I lift my hand and pretend as if I'm catching the kiss he blew.

He straightens up and watches me carefully as I then place my hand against my lips with a smirk of my own.

His smirk drops and he chokes while turning around with a heavy blush on his face.

I snort and then go to walk to my class but I'm stopped by someone standing in my way with wide eyes and their jaw dropped, I'm sure you can guess who.

Iris looks at me in complete and utter shock,"What the fu-".

I Lunge forward and put my left hand over her face, not her mouth, her whole face.

She slaps my hand away and pulls me to where we aren't visible to Xavier.

She slaps me across the face,"You little bitch, what the hell was that?".

I look at her in complete shock,"Did you just slap me!?".

She nods nonchalantly,"Now tell me, are you two like friends with benefits or something??".

I grab her shoulders,"What!? No, it was just a friendly gesture, that's all".

She narrows her eyes at me,"Blowing kisses doesn't seem to be just a friendly gesture".

I roll my eyes and ignore her while walking to class, I chuckle as she calls out for me and go through classes completely dodging her questions.

- time skip

It was finally break and I was walking towards the garden while Iris walked on my right going on about this cute guy she saw...who was also one of our substitute teachers.

I'm not even gonna say anything at this point.

I kept walking with her through the crowd of students until I spotted a familiar head of blond hair.

It wasn't hard to spot him considering he was the only one in the school to have blonde hair.

He was laughing with his friends and they were all holding onto each other's backpacks as if in a train line.

I keep my gaze forward while I watch him through the side of my eye.

I see him take notice of me and he quickly let's go of his friends bags and ruffles his hair and then goes around the crowd to walk towards me on my left side.

He then walked right in front of me and looked down at me while I looked up at him.

He looked past me and then tilted himself to walk past, as he does so, his chest brushes up against my arm and he looks down at me with a small smirk.

I stop in my tracks and start blushing while Iris is looking at me shocked but with a smirk.

I look down and shake my head slightly before quickly rushing away.

I finally make it to the garden and sit against the wall like I always do.

Iris had to go for cheer practice so I was by myself, not that I minded.

As I place my bag next to me, I hear my phone ding.

So, after that night that I gave Xavier my number, he did text me saying 'Your romeo hath made it home safely like I promised, goodnight fair and graceful Juliet'

What a dork right?

I smiled to see that the text now was from him.

Xavier :)
R u in the garden?

I look at the text with a raised brow and quickly text back.

Me
Yep,why?

Xavier :)
No reason ;)

And with that, he goes offline and I have a confused look on my face.

I put my phone away and take out my sketchbook.

Just as I'm about to open it, I hear footsteps approaching and I look to the entrance to see, you guessed it, Xavier walking in with his goofy smile.

I cross my arms and he skips to where I was sitting and stands in front of me while looking down at me.

I clear my throat,"Is there a reason that you're here?".

He smirks and looks around before looking back at me,"I need a reason to admire nature?".

I smile and lean slightly forward,"You're not really admiring nature right now, you're just looking at me".

He puts his hands in his pockets,"Yeah, you are a part of nature and I'm admiring you".

I lean back against the wall speechless and he looks at me with triumph.

I scoff playfully and go back to opening my sketchbook and he decides to sit next to me with his legs stretched out in front of him.

He sits quietly while I'm busy but gets bored and starts playing with my bracelet that's hanging down.

I look at him through the side of my eye but allow him to do so since it wasn't disturbing me in any way.

I could see him watching as I sketched and moving his eyes to look at my face now and then.

I'm almost done with my sketch and he scoots closer to me to get comfortable against the wall.

I can see him closing his eyes and trying to rest for atleast a few minutes before we have to go to class but he seems uncomfortable.

I'm not sure whether to do what I want to but I quickly make my decision and whisper slightly,"If you want to rest for a while, I won't mind if you use my shoulder".

He opens his eyes lazily and looks at me with slight shock before going back to his tired face and he closes his eyes once again and slowly leans his head onto my shoulder and moves slightly closer to get comfortable.

His hair tickles my neck and I smile slightly while continuing my sketch.

And this is how we spend the rest of the break and I don't mind one bit, and I have a feeling he doesn't either.
