The rebirth of planet Resoria Z9

Chapter 20

                                                          Jessica's point of view 

I marched to my dorm and the closer I came to the small hallway leading to his dorm I was not able to walk away. It was more than frustrating to not have my calls called back by him or even a simple text that could make this anxious feeling fade away. I could not spend the rest of my day worrying for him and decided to walk over to his dorm and knock on his door.

I wondered if he had come back and gone to the study room. There was still a likely chance he would do that considering how much time left he had to study with me for a brief moment in the study room when he was on his way to his family reunion. I could not hesitate anymore and allow too much precious time to be wasted on me not being able to make a simple choice. I was a little bit embarrassed by how many times I called him and now I was standing in front of his dorm. I ignored my thoughts and just as I was about to march to his door. A door flung wide open, making me startled for a quick second. 

The silver plates on the door with the number two caught my attention and I took a step back when I realized who it belonged to. I did not want to make it more difficult for Thomas if John were to connect the dots now the reason why I was visiting his dorm. John only saw us in the hallways if he knew we were closer than that he would have made greater attempts to shatter my sense of safety and comfort. 

I hoped I had enough time to turn around and walk away before he could see me but as I took another further step back and changed my direction his voice called for me and the words that recklessly came out of his mouth made me stop in my tracks and my breath caught in my throat. 

'' Looking for him already? I can't say I am surprised knowing how you lose your manners for a brown haired puppy like him.'' Said John with a low voice and amusement glistening in his eyes.

I was embarrassed and felt the blood rushing to my cheeks. It could not be that obvious I tried to convince myself but seeing how his lips turned slightly to the corner I knew he was already aware and could see through my feelings. He stood there waiting for me to answer him back but I was thinking about what he meant by that I was already looking for Thomas. Did he do something to him? I started to wonder and choosed my words carefully in order to make him reveal some valuable information to me. 

'' And by that you mean you were already expecting me to look for him?'' I said with a calm voice and answered with a question knowing he had to respond. 

I noticed how much I truly despised him as he stood there tall and proud with his signature white shirt paired with a black long sleeved shirt under and dark pants. He stood out from the rest of the students who wore a vest over their white shirts. But as usual he refused to follow the dress code. I also noticed how his hands were not in a tight fist but resting comfortably in his pockets as he stared down at me and closed our distance. 

He laughed a little before taking more steps closer to me. I had to put up with this in order to make him talk. He was too close for my liking and to the unknown eye it seemed like a chemistry was going on between us by his closeness. It was odd to see him being in a good mood. He always met my eyes with hatred and frustration. Even his calm, relaxed posture made me more anxious that the cause of his relief could be that his attempts to hurt me in ways I could not understand were fulfilled. 

'' I got him a surprise on his way home. Let's just say you won't see him for the next hours.'' He said with another calmer voice with empty eyes but the moment fear flashed in my eyes he smiled for a brief second. 

This must be another bluff or empty threat he would make in order to break me I believed and pushed him away and knocked on Thomas door. The only thing I could hear was the faint sound of John's shoes as he turned around watching me knock on Thomas' door. I knocked once again hoping he would open it but the dreadful feeling lingering on my back because of John standing there taunting me made turn around with red eyes on the verge of tears. I know what he was capable of and what lengths he would take to make me feel alone and isolated.
