"Stef , you there " I heard a voice say.
"Crap, what the hell is wrong with her " I heard another, but this one was feminine.
I started to open my eyes but I felt a tingly sensation running down my arm that spread throughout the rest of me, so I kept em closed.
The first voice chuckled " Stef, just open your eyes I know your capable."
I did and I was both glad and embarrassed that I did. I saw his hazelnut eyes staring into mine. When I started to look around to see were I was I saw at least twenty people staring back at me.
"How long was I out for?" I asked feeling my cheeks warm.
" Not that long thankfully it was only five minutes " Jake replied.
"Stephine ,are you okay?" I heard Mr. Mcadam ask as he rushed through the door.
"Yea just fine thanks for asking " I replied while rubbing my hand on my head.
"The nurse wasn't in her office I looked but I couldn't find her. " Mr.Mcadam said in a frenzy.
"I'm fine I think I just need some ice for my head, I'll just go to the jym and get some."
" Are you sure your okay?"Mr.Mcadam asked.
"I'll be fine I just skipped breakfast this morning."
"Okay but come right back." he replied allowing me to leave. I stood up and headed for the door as Mr. Mcadam tried to restart his lesson.
"Mr. Mcadam?" I heard Jake ask.
"Yes."
" I think I should go with her to make sure she doesn't pass out again."
"Yea that sounds good." he replied in a rush to continue on with class.
Jake met me by the door and ushered me out. "You know you don't have to right?"
"I know." he said with a sly grin.
"so." I say trying to start a conversation. I don't know why he wanted to come but I'm no complaining I mean what if I passed out again.
Yea sure like you wouldn't want to fall into his muscular arms. A part of me said as his arm brushed against mine.
"So do you do this often?" he asked.
"Do I do what often?"I asked slightly confused.
"Do you faint often, or is that just around me." he said the smug look returning to his face.
I glared at him and slapped his arm, big mistake I started to blush. "No it's just that I was thinking......" I trailed off not wanting him to know about Marie.
"Marie?"he asked then he silently cursed at himself. Wait how did he know?Did he know her? no he couldn't have. Could he? I gave him a sideways glance."You said it out loud." he said shrugging.
Oh I did? I thought to myself we when we reached the jym."Wait out here I'll be right back." I told him, not waiting for a reply I walked away.
I walked through doors and was hit by the stench of sweat and asked the jym teacher Mr.Daniels for some ice, he gave it to me in a ziploc bag and I headed back out to Jake.
When I exited the doors I saw him relaxing against the wall when he saw me he smiled at me not a creapy peevish smile, but an actual smile like he was happy to see me and to be honest I was too.
"Everything okay sleeping beauty?"
Sleeping Beauty? oh I'm gonna have fun with this."So your saying I'm beautiful?" I say walking past him flipping my hair in his direction.
"No, I mean not no but I was talking about you passing out on the floor." He said his face turning red.
Did I just make him blush? oh my gosh I'm not even close to done yet. "So that would make you the prince that awoke me from the curse and for that I am eternally grateful" I say acting grateful.
He seems to have composed himself as he responds." Yea you wanna know how I did it?"
My damsal in distress act still not done yet I respond. " Oh yes grateful one please do tell." I say pressing the back of my hand to my forehead.
He walks forward confident and strong." I'd rather show you how the prince awoke the princess." he says walking until we're face to face. He leans down and presses his lips to my cheek. " But it would ruin it." he whispers in my ear.
"ruin what?" I ask breathless from shock.
"Why my plans of course."
"What plans?" I ask.
"You'll find out soon enough." he says with a smirk and turns around walking back to class. I run to catch up to him and we make the trip back in complete silence the only noise is the sparks I think I hear each time our arms brush.
That night I go to bed wondering if he would have kissed me and wondering what I would have done if he had.
