Can't Get Over You

Chapter 17

"Damn it! I'm gonna be late," I cursed under my breath. I only have 5 more minutes before the bell rings and I still can't remember which room I'll be in. I texted Nash a million times already but I got nothing in return. I tried calling him but his phone is off.

"He. Is. So. Dead."

I looked at the room number, one after another and at last I can finally see where I'm headed. "128... 129... 130..." I turned to the corner then continued searching. I'm starting to panic 'cause I've been walking for a while now.

At the middle of the hallway despite the number of crowds, I saw Mr. Barnes, the school's science terror teacher, walking towards somewhere. He's know for failing a lot of students in his class but let's just hope that's I'm not in his.

"135... at the end of this hall?" Uh-oh. Mr Barnes hasn't stopped walking yet. I swallowed all my guts and called out to him. When he looked my way I dashed towards him.

Panting, I asked him with all my might, "Mr Barnes, I lost my schedule paper so I was wondering if I'm in your class?" He paused for a minute before he answered me. "Why yes, Ms. Payne. And I can see that you have just omitted two offenses just now." He said with his eyebrow raised then crossed his arms.

"What? Shi..." My eyes were closed when I froze, I remembered I was standing in frontnof a teacher so I shouldn't curse. I raised my head and looked at Mr. Barnes and found him glaring at me.

Fak. He heard me! "Oh my gads, Mr. Barnes it's not wha you think." fckshit! "I-ah.. I-um..sheet... bed sheet!" I blurted out. Great. Bed sheet, like seriously?

Of all the thing I could come up to, i thought of bed sheet to use as an excuse? Wow. Just wow. In the back of my mind I was rolling my eyes because I'm such a genius when it comes to making up excuses.

"I suddenly remembered my bed's sheet cover, I forgot to change it this morning since I promised my mom I'll change it last night. If she saw it today she'll kill me for sure." I explained, I hope he'll accept it though.

I was looking in his eyes and sighed a relief whheb he chose to dismiss it. He opened the door and said, "Come in Ms. Payne, you'll be in my class for you first period and as for your schedule sheet try to go to the registrar and ask for a new one so that you won't be in trouble for you suceeding classes."

Aaaaw, he's not that bad as the rumors were saying. He was even concerned about my affairs. I'm starting to see him in a new light. "Thank you Mr Barnes. And I'm sorry about what I blurted out earlier." "I figured as much." He winked at me.

When I entered the room, I saw Nash sitting on top of the table with his friends surrounding him. He looked so happy talking with them bet he's sharing his lame joke again. He never learned.

I was scanning the room to look for someone I know and my eyes landed me to the god who descended to earth to betwitch all the girls alive in this school. His earphone was plucked in his eyes as he listens from his phone in hand while his eyes are close.

Damn. If only you could see what I see, I bet you've been drolling by now. His fit white shirt just showed his perfect ripped body leaving little to out imagination. He must have been in the gym a lot to look like that.

He opened his eyes and our eyes met. Fak. He's so handsome. My body felt a different kind of electricity that spreads through my entire body from head to toe. It was so sweet and warm and fuzzy that it numbs me to the core.

He smiled at me and I smiled back to him. He stood up from his position and slowly, step by step, he's coming my way. He's so cute when he's touching the back of his head.

He's just two seats away from me when someone hugged me. Interuppting my precious moment. "Hey Vicky! You came on time! I'm so proud of you honey!" He yelled in joy. The fuck?

Guess who? Yep. It's Nash. I glared at him and mouthed the words "You're a dead meat." Nash took a step back and threw his hands on the air. "Woah! Chill babe, I'll return you paper after class. Easy babe! It's ruining your beauty."

I kinda panic when he called me honey so I quickly glanced at Shaun's way. He looked shocked for a second then the smile tbat captivated me awhile ago vanished. He turned his back on me to go back to his seat. I was about to stop him when Nash pulled my back to him.

"What's wrong babe?" Nash asked. I was so pissed at him that I actually raised my voice saying, "Stop calling me babe, I'm not your babe. I'm not your girlfriend and I will never be your girlfriend, you faka!"

And you know wha--" I was stopped when someone covered my mouth with their hand then wrapped the their other one around my waidt. "Easy princess. Breathe." A low and husky voice whispere in my ears.

"Don't make a scene in here you can talk about it later when you guys are alone. ok?" He said and I was fine in an instant.

I cllosed my eyes shut due to embarrassment and held the hand that covers my mouth. He slowly withdrew his hand then spun me around. Now I'm facing Shaun but my eyes were still closed.

I took a very deep breathe before I released the words, "Sorry."

I was on the verge of crying that time when Shaun pulled me into a hug and I felt relax and warm and secured. What melted my heart more was his words when he whispered in my ear the words, "It's ok. I'm here now so everything's gonna be fine. Trust me."
