Stairs to the stars

Chapter 6 : Cinderella

I kept on staring at what Jeff drew. How is that...? No, no, no I'm over thinking this. He could've drawn it with no reason at all. But it still left me a heavy feeling.

Ignoring the confusing coincidence, I left to the cafeteria. But then, out of the blue something or someone grabbed the back of my collar, stopping me. This didn't make me feel better at all. I turned my head around slowly, trying to identify what was stopping me. Not to my surprise, it was Jeff. But before I could even make a sound he dragged me to the cafeteria.

Sure some people stared us, but I was just as confused as them. Some even scowled at me, who were the girls. Finally arriving to the cafeteria. I had no idea how he manage to avoid all the fan girls, but now I'm sitting on the same table as him, also no one around us. But it still attracted 99.999% of the people in the cafeteria.

"What is it" I asked directly. But a sly grin crawled up to his cheeks. How good would it be just to wipe it off with a mouldy sponge? Waiting for an answer I crossed my arms. My shyness always get destroyed either when I'm with Mary, Sahara, Luke, Jeff, and even Beth. Jeff leaned forward as I leaned back words. His silver eyes made me sleepy, and it always does! Is it normal for that to happen. I still had my energy to listen what he has to say. "Seems like your BFF is still sick, meaning that my pet is lonely for the whole day." He teased.

I remembered again about the whole 'Master' deal. I'm still not a huge fan of it though. "So? What does that have to do with you?" I shot back. His grin got wider, which did scare me. "Tell you what, I'll sacrifice my lunchtime and hang out with my pet" he offered.

No way that's gonna happen! I prefer to be alone this lunch. Just when I was about to reject it, he stopped me. "Also this is not an option" he added. My positive energy shattered to a million pieces. I sighed with stress, also groaning. "Fine..." I moaned. I looked at him again, and this smile turned peaceful and honest.

Girls ran towards Jeff when he smiled and that was my signal for escape. I really hope no one heard us though... Actually this is a good time to invite 'Mystery guy'. I took my phone out and realised that people giggled at me. That's right, my phone is in the wrong generation. My phone has ant-sized buttons, a screen the size of a thumb and it can only send messages or call. But I don't care, so far this is the least important thing in my life so far.

I quickly sent a message to 'Mystery guy' just to see if it worked. All I typed was 'Does it work?'. Suddenly another message popped out. I didn't expect him to reply so fast. All it said was 'Yes'. Then I got another text. 'With this you can contact me any time or any where... That is if you have data 😛' he said. I giggled at the reply and soon stopped. It wasn't that bad I guess...

The bell finally rang, and I made my way to English. The hall was way too crowded. I really hate these times when you're late for class, when it's not even your fault. I finally made my way to my locker and grabbed my text books. Surprisingly the people in this school is pretty tall. I imagined a couple shorties, but so far I'm the shortest of all the people I know. This lead me to a disadvantage. I don't have the strength to move the people aside and go to my class.
I looked at my wrist watch. Five minutes left, I might just make it.

Diiiiiiing! The bell rung and I finally made my class exactly on time. I quickly took my seat. I looked the at the empty, blank seat next to me. He's skipping, what an idiot. We only had to learn vocabulary. It wasn't fun at all to be honest. I quickly went to the direction of my Physics class. Unfortunately for me I definitely saw Jeff entering Physics as well. That's right he does physics with me, I totally forgot.

Speaking of which I remembered that I had an appointment with Jeff. Maybe I can avoid him... I took my seat and I turned around and saw William. I only knew his name. Phew the last thing I want to see right now is probably Jeff. Speaking of which... Where is he? It only took me five seconds to find the silver eyes that he owned. He was sitting right behind me.
