I looked outside the window, focusing on those wet crystals staining the translucent barrier between the outside and I.
I couldn't focus in class, and I didn't want to.
Vertin was missing class on purpose again, probably wondering around our endless faculty as I was stuck in this stupid, closed, prison. I wanted to go with her so badly it even put me in a bad mood, causing my eyebrows to stay furrowed for the duration of the day.
My strict, no good, and unfair teacher never even bothered to console her poor student due to giving more attention to the smartest girls in class; Matilda and Sonetto.
I really have nothing against them, in fact, I was really good friends with the grey-haired girl. A few days ago, she revealed her secret; which was that she had some sort of infatuation with her fellow orange haired rival—which was unusual to me.
The only thing the gears of my brain could function in that moment was to sneak away while my snotty teacher was busy spoiling our 2 dear girls.
I took the risk and slowly slid down from my chair, ending up under my desk. Then, I got on all fours and carefully crawled my way towards the door—praying my teacher won't see me.
I finally got out of that godforsaken classroom and wondered down the halls, looking for a certain grey-eyed big brain.
As if it was instinct, I instantly knew she would be reading every book inside the library, so I headed there.
I arrived at the library after it seemed like forever, sighing mentally because I still have to find her through these never-ending shelves of boring books.
Seriously, why do we even need them?
That thought plagued my mind as I lazily looked for her in each aisle, almost falling face-first on the dull floor because I was tired of walking.
On the last aisle that I checked—which was the history one—I finally found her. "Jeez, Vertin! I finally found you! It took me forever y'know..." I panted as she looked at me with a blank stare.
"But you chose to follow me instead of attending class, so you brought this upon yourself." She turned back to her book, not caring about the effort I spent on finding her. "You're so mean...I just wanted to be there for a friend, it's not worth it I suppose..." I turned my back with sadness, regretting I even came out here.
"...Hey, sorry for being mean...it just came out wrong because you've accused me of such matters..." I heard Vertin's voice ring in my ears. I instantly turned back to face her with a happy expression, "Hah! I knew you cared about me!"
"But I've always cared about you...it's just that you don't try hard enough to see..." Vertin carelessly sways me with the her words, making me flustered and grumpy at the same time. "Hey, watch your words...! They can have an effect on other people...-" I say, embarrassed.
She just walked up towards me, holding one of my hands as she used her other hand to rest it on my head.
"You're warm, do you feel sick? Do you feel nauseous? Is your nose runny? I'll take you to the nurse right away." Her monotone, but caring words just ended up making me have a more fuzzy feeling inside my stomach; long story short I hated it but I loved at the same time.
"No! Stop! Stop acting pretty around me, it's sickening!" I exclaimed, almost forgetting we were inside the library, I quickly slapped my hands on my mouth—still flushed.
"You think I'm pretty?" Vertin questions curiously. I swear I was about faint from embarrassment.
I suddenly heard the voice the librarian, oh no she must've heard my loud mouth.
"That's a bad sign, (name), come with me, unless you want to get caught." She lifted her hand for me to hold, We'll still get caught either way, but I'll take your hand this once.
I took her hand and made a run for it.
