Titium Heart

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

How could someone be so pretty? And the heart thing! Why did my heart beat accelerate? It was all a mystery. I just wanted to look away but I couldn't. Her blue eyes were hypnotising and those luscious brunette locks of hair.

My trance was broken when someone behind me yelled, 'Get out!' After gathering all of the self restraint in me, I stormed through the hallways out of the school to the parking lot.

I no longer thought about the humiliation; just those mesmerising eyes. I placed a hand over my heart; it was pacing at a normal rate now. My heart beat had never accelerated to such an extent, and over her? I seriously had to get my body checked from Jason, Dr Titium.

I sat down on the grass field and soaked up the sun. I wondered why I was so pale; I was nearly always in the sun but I never got a tan. Laying with my hands below my head, I waited for the bell to ring for the next class.

I had no idea when I dosed off, but I woke up with someone shaking me vigorously; it was an apologetic looking Nick. I tried to ignore it. I knew he had no control over the gossip but the gossip had decreased since started hanging out with him.

He gave me his hand and I took it willingly and pulled myself up.

'So, what did you do in class?' I asked, trying to get over the tension.

'Just...nothing much,' he replied hesitantly.

'Hmm...which class to now?'

'It's lunch, dude,' he replied, smiling.

'Sure.'

We walked side by side to the lunch table; I sat beside Nick. I got quite a few glares from the other guys, who wanted to be Nick's right hand man.

I searched the hall for her, but she wasn't there. I didn't even know her name! what would it be? Angel? Princess? Cause she sure looked like one.

I couldn't help her face swarming through my mind. Her face, those orbs and those hair; if only I weren't a freak, she would've liked me, or I would have had a chance to go out with her.

I spent the rest of the lunch mourning, and then walked to the next class; it was Chemistry. Nick didn't have this class with me, so I had to bare the ignominy of my appearance alone.

Entering the class, I was expecting mean glares but no one looked up. The teacher looked at me with detest with her eyes. I simply ignored her and sat on an empty desk at the back of the class.

I had a happy feeling in my gut, it was confirmed with a increase in my blood pressure. Other, manly, parts of my body showed excitement. I knew she was coming inside but how could I tell that? I never knew I had the power to notice someone's arrival before they actually came. I tried checking Nick's location but nothing came up. This was so confusing!

I saw her come in, this time the teacher smiled brightly and so did she. Why didn't she smile at me? Oh, I know, 'cause I'm a freak!

She handed a few papers to the teacher and then turned around and looked at me. My heart skipped a beat, literally. I gave a nervous smile but she returned it with a glower. I just looked down at my text book, trying to hide my face, as it had turned red from embarrassment. I was never like this; girls liked to be with me because I was 'unique' and most of the time I brushed them off! But why now? Why her?

She sat in front of me with one of Nick's puppets. They were all the same; the same look, same geeky smiles, and same prince-like attitude. I tried to ignore her and concentrate on what the teacher was saying but I couldn't. I didn't have that much self restraint.
