High school Fever:Wallflower

Chapter 4

He had glasses on too. Just like me. I felt a little bit less awkward. I didn't take my eyes off him yet but when he rose one eyebrow up, I did.
" Um.. hi!" I said quickly and stood up. He did too. He really tall.
" You're new here"
"Yea " I nodded then he glanced over his shoulder briefly.
" Don't mind Bobby. He always gets on people's nerves. He enjoys disturbing pretty girls " He said, his small pink lips curving up slightly into a soft smile. I smiled shyly playing with a strand of my hair. He called me pretty.
"You're friends with him?" I managed to ask. Somehow, I felt so okay and carefree around him. He had this soothing aura but I think me warming up sooner to him had something to do with his looks too.
"We're -" He said with his eyes down
" Brothers?" I chirped. At that his eyes ran up to my face.
" We're not related. We're partially friends but not close." He said with a slight frown.
   I nodded. " Well I never expected to be bullied on my first day in highschool school " I said and he blinked staring at me, quite surprised. 
Jeez... Amberlie  keep quiet. I never wanted him or anyone to know. I expected him to be like ' Is this your first time in high school?' but then he smiled at me.  I loved his style. I loved people who aren't asky. I'm not comfortable with too many questions.
" I was actually heading back to class" I said as I turned walking away with my head down.
  " You didn't even tell me your name!" He called out. I'd gotten to the exit and I turned.
  " Amberlie Sheeran!" I said out to him.
   " Oliver West" He said out his name to me with that soft smile that had me blushing.
     'Oliver West '
   I registered the name in my head. I turned smiling as I walked out of the Cafeteria.
   I didn't even know his class. Realization hit me. What if he has a girlfriend?! My face twitched at the word ' girlfriend ' I frowned and shrugged the thought of and continued walking.

                         *********
  It was unlike me that I'd be actually drooling and gawking at anyone. I was gawking at Oliver! I've been staring at him for the past 20 minutes .
Am I going crazy?
It was recess that day. Sophie had finally gotten the apartment which Drina talked about, for me. I still didn't know how she managed to talk our  parents especially dad, into it .
She just did it.
I fumbled my lunch pack at the corner where I stood peeking at gorgeous Oliver who was chatting with a girl in my class.
  I took my time to stare at him.  Auburn hair, doe leaf green eyes, small narrow nose, small pink lips that looked kissable ☺️ I'd also noticed he had a bunny teeth which only made him cuter.  He had that shy and cute look. If not that he maintained a boyish demeanor, I would had  called him a sissy 🤭  He looked like a girl too much.
  I couldn't take my eyes off him for long but I did when he turned and caught me off guard, staring.  I looked off immediately pretending to search for something. Anything! in my lunch pack.
   " Hey, hi Amberlie" I heard his benign voice and I slowly looked up at him.
    " Hi Oliver "  I said quietly.
   " Why're you alone in that corner. Join us for lunch" He pointed to the table he shared with 3 guys and 4 other girls.
     Really? I waved my head 'no'
   " I'll eat alone. I've always loved eating alone." I said as I made my way to an empty seat I could find. I sat down. He stared at me for moments with a plain cute expression then simply turned leaving without saying anything.
   Damn, damn, damn..
  I wanted him to him stay. I didn't want to seem so desperate. I wanted him to stay. Him alone no one else.
I opened my mouth and his name slipped out. He turned giving me a really calm look.
" Umm, c-can you stay, please?"  I said quietly. He nodded and smiled then turned and walked off. I squealed silently in excitement but stayed out when some girls gave me a cutting glance but I couldn't stop smiling.
I was serving some French fries when Oliver showed up with his tray of snacks too.
   " Sorry I had to steal you from your friends for some moments" I said shyly as I adjusted for him to sit. He chuckled.
'I would had come over any way" He said.
" What class're you actually?" I asked,
curious.
" 12th grade. A science program student actually. I saw you once in art class right?" He said as he bit his burger. My eyes were on his lips but I averted it back to his face when I heard him ask again.  I nodded.
  " That's  great. We have English, Maths and other subjects in common. I'll be seeing you I guess"  He said.
  Drina hadn't been in school since yesterday. I wonder if she got suspended too. Right now Oliver was the only friend I had. Fenty was always with that girl. Guess they're best friends.
Oliver lifted his green eyes to stare at me suddenly. My eyes wandered.
" Hey" He called and I looked at him.
" Mathematics is first class after recess " He told me. I felt bubbles in my stomach. I had maths too after recess and that means I'll be seeing him again.
  Can't wait!
I'll make sure we sit next to each other. There's nothing so thrilling than sitting close to a cute boy and brushing shoulders ☺️ 
Man it's exciting!
Just sitting on his thighs and kissing those small inviting lips with his hands on my waist send thrills to my body. 
" You keep smiling" His voice pierced my thoughts and I looked at him. If only he knew why I was smiling. Well I don't want him realizing that I found him attractive. We are in silence for a while and then I started to feel worry  that he was going to find me boring. I decided to engage in a conversation. I brought up the bullying talk and of course, Bobby wasn't excluded.  We talked 'bout mean and nice teachers. He told me about one Miss Mercy. He said she was warm, kind and deciplined. He also told me 'bout the meanest - Mr. Boudreaux. I frowned when  Oliver told me he did everything he could to make students fail his class.
That's horrible! I mean what if you're actually good in his damn class? He'll give you a bad grade on purpose? That's cruel. The worse part was that, Oliver told me he took English class.  English had always been my favorite subject 😒
After recess we went to maths class. I felt lucky when we sat together. Apart from the attraction stuff, I felt quite relieved cuz I was a dullard in maths. He looked clever. He should know math. Yea.
" You're sitting here?" He asked and I shrugged fairly like 'of course' . I thought struck me. His girlfriend! Did he had any? He looked too innocent to have one and too cute to be single. I resented him a little. I observed the class to see if there was anyone staring daggers at me but then the students only regarded me with a simple stare that masked unfamiliarity. I heaved a sigh of relief and sat close to Oliver.
