A new leaf

12. James

"Great," Safanit said,"I can walk to class with you every morning and afternoon because we have the same timetable. YAY!"

"Yeah" I said half enthusiastically. The truth is I couldn't keep track of things my head was spinning round and round. I was feeling light headed again. The wall started closing in on my, my knees started to shake.

"OMG Zoe are you o.." I never got to here the rest of that sentence because all I saw after that was black. Screams filled the air frantic breathing was all I could here. The next thing I was aware of was warm muscular arms wrapping around my waist and dragging me up off the ground.

*•*•*•*•*•

"Where am I?" I spoke trying to sit up. Immediately I regretted it my head started throbbing and I had to lie down again.

"You are in the school nurses office. You fainted" came a voice, I didn't know it.

"I....wait...what?"

"You passed out on the floor and I carried you here." So this was my mysterious guy who lifted me.

"Forgive me but what's your name?"

"James Carstairs, but everyone calls me Jem" His deep hazel eyes looking down on me.

"Oh we'll thanks again for 'rescuing' me" he laughed oh god his laugh was so cute.

"It's ok you just looked like you needed help and so I helped you."

"So...what's your name. I should at least get to know the cute girls name that I rescued." He flushed a deep shade of red making his high cheek bones sand out even more. Back to reality. WHAT!!! Did he just call me cute. Is this really happening to me!

"I'm Zoe"

"Zoe. I like it" Jesus was he flirting with me. Well it certainly seemed like he did...was.

Zoe. Zoe. Zoe. Not even a day at this school ad you are all over a boy. Wait what since when am I all over this boy. Since his arms wrapped around you.

"So now that you are ok, do you wanna go to class cos we were in the same class and all."

"Sure it would be nice to have someone show me around." H lifted his head and smiled brightly showing off his dazzling white teeth.

We walked out of the office and down a long stretch of corridor. It was empty and to be fair it looked quite bare. It was in the middle of period 2 so all of the girls and boys will be in class. Jem  checks his timetable.

"We have Art next. I am really bad at Art" Jem said.

"I am ok but I really enjoy it." I flushed and so did he.

Walking ino Art class everyone looked up even Safanit. I was very embarrassed. I was also confused;Safani was not very good at Art. Sorry it's true.

"Hello, I am Miss Branwell. I am our Art teacher unil you leave this school. Welcome to my class. What's your name?" A Canadian Accent

"I am Zoe." I spoke shyly.

Suddenly, a blonde head lifted up from the table trying to turn around I immediately knew who it was. It was Will. Was he looking jealous. I don't really care I am in my favourite lesson and all is good......FOR NOW.
