Old Hallways, New Hearts

Girlfriend?

Selenes POV

Tuesday

I'm woken up by the sound of the blender. "Zarina!" I yell and put the pillow over my head to muffle it out but it doesn't help. I toss the cover off and storm out my room and into the kitcken. "Zarina!" I yell again.

She turns to me and takes out her smoothie to pour it into her smoothie cup. "Good morning fellow doctor." She said with a smile and proudly.

I blush at the praise but shake it off remembering why I came in here. "Why are you blending a smoothie at 5 in the morning when neither of us have to be up until 6?" I say with my arms crossed as she sips her smoothie.

"Well, I got called in but I can't function without my smoothie. So I apologize for waking you up, I did make you one. It's in the fridge." She says apologetically and in hopes I'll forgive her.

I roll my eyes and smile. "Thank you." I run my hand through my hair from exhaustion. "Oh. Do you know where I have all my old school stuff I need to see something?" I ask looking as I'm asking.

She frowns to think and then snaps. "Ah. It's under the tv stand." I got to the stand and see the box. I pull out the yearbook and search for the woman on my mind. "Ooh looking for an old crush." She says teasingly.

I shake my head. "No a student."

"Uh why?" She asks curiously.

"She started working at the school as the new gym coach and she looks completely different. The only thing the same is honestly her eyes." I say blushing just thinking about the woman.

Zarina eyes me weirdly and smirks. "Ok let me see this girl that's got you blushing like that. I have to see what the fuss is about." She says sitting beside me on the coach as I flip through the book.

"There she is." I say pointing to a 18 year old Jordyn. She's wearing a red flannel with a white shirt under, thick glasses, braces showing in her smile, and her black hair is longer. For the basketball mvp, she looked like such a nerd off the court.

"That's the girl you're obsessed with?" Zarina asks and I nod my head. "I mean hey we all have our own preferences." She says lifting her hands in surrender.

I chuckle. "She looks so much different then this. She's cute here honestly but god Zarina, she's ethereal." I say gushing over her like a teenage girl.

"Well, if I ever have time to come by your job I'll see for my self." She says and gets up to leave. She kisses my cheek and leaves saying she'll be home late.

I continue looking at Jordyns senior picture and catch myself wondering what made her change. She looks so more mature now. No shit, she's 23. She's not a child anymore. I close the book and get up to get an early start since I'm already up. I put on black slacks and a blue button up with my glasses and put my hair up in a messy bun on top of my head. By the time I got done getting ready it 6:30 and I headed out to go get my coffee and croissant.

I make it to the coffee shop and again it's a line but it's moving and that only means, "Two mochas with ice and cream!" I hear Jordyn's voice yelling out the order to the older tan guy who I assume is Roscoe. I watch as she smiles at each customer when they speak to her and how she laughs even when they aren't even funny but I can tell it's not her real laugh because her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Next in line please." She calls and I'm next being taken out of my mind of admiring her. Three times.

"Good morning. You mine as well work here don't you think?" I say jokingly.

She looks around and leans down to a whisper. "Between you and I, he couldn't afford me." She leans back and winks and I laugh. "But what can I get for you today?" She asks.
