"Hi, my mum wanted me to drop these off as kind of a welcome to the neighbourhood kind of thing. I Hope you don't mind"

I had just moved into my new home when I heard a knocking on the door. I came as fast as I could! When I opened the door, I saw a girl staring at me like she had seen a ghost. Not just any girl tho. A girl from my maths.

I remember.

My mate, Jackson, had made a silly joke, which left her embarrassed and lead to her running out of the classroom. I couldn't blame her. Everyone was laughing where as I felt bad. And I didn't feel bad often. I don't know what it was about her but just her whole essence made me curious and seeking to find out more.

This felt different. I had never wanted to know someone. It was always the same; date them for a week and then dump them the next. It's not that I wanted to but no one had that thing that made me want to stay. I always got bored and found someone else but it wasn't my fault that people trusted me so much, even though my track record.

But it was something about her.

Sophia.

That intrigued me.

And that was making me loose my mind.

"Sorry, um yeah thanks, i'll give them to my mum." I replied breaking the silence I kept for so long. I grab the muffins from her hands and whisper thank you. She replies with a nod of the head before stepping away to face me again.

"I better get going. I guess I'll see you around" she said, not breaking my eye contact. Our eyes were locked in place, neither one of us moving or backing out.

All of sudden, she turns around and starts heading away, looking annoyed with herself.

I knew something was wrong.

I don't know what came over me but the urge to check on her was there.

Then that thought.

Did I do something wrong?

But why did I care?

Why did I care about a random girl who goes to my school?

I cursed my brain for making me confused and went back to searching for reasons why she could be mad at me.

I never understood girls. Their feelings and how they get mad so easily or how they can fall in love in a heartbeat. They truly are confusing.

"Sophia, wait, did I do something wrong," I say sprinting up to her. I caught her up in a few long strides. I guess that's one of the pluses of being 6 foot tall.

"Jay, just leave me alone, I'm not here for games." I stood there, confused out of my own brain. Was I missing something?

Games. What games?

"Sophia, I don't know what your talking about, please elaborate?"  I questioned still puzzled at her last statement.

I had done a lot of things to piss off a lot of girls in my school. But Sophia. I didn't think I had. Or did. A lot of them forgave me, thanks to my amazing apologies. Well. I never really emphasised the word sorry in there. You just tell them what they want to here and it works just fine. Well it does for me.

"Do u wanna know what, I am done talking to u, it is clear that u are just trying to manipulate me like u do with everyone else in the freaking school. But no jay, not to me. Not anymore. I can see through u. I can see under all that confidence is a scared, insecure boy who thrives on people's downfall."

Before I can say a word, she storms off leaving me stunned.

What the hell just happened?
