Hidden

the last bell

Turns out Mr mundane didn't care that we were late, but made sure jordan was having a great day. He had Jordan introduce himself then he sat down. The three girls in the back gave a sigh as he sat down and I rolled my eyes at the same time. Jordan must have thought the girls were funny cause he was looking at me smiling. It wasn't until I saw his raised eyebrow that he was teasing me about something, but what? I looked at him trying to make it clear that I was completely lost in this conversation. Then he mockingly rolled his eyes and I got it. He was just teasing me. I could feel the heat that was rising up my cheeks and quickly ducked my head so he wouldn't see. But when the heat faded down and I looked back at him he had already turned his attention back to the front of the class. I followed suit and right in time to hear Mr. Mundane explaining more details about the big essay assignment we have. "you will have until Friday before the last bell rings to submit your prompt for approval. If it is not an approved prompt it will affect your grade" 

When the bell finally rang students piled out through the door ready to leave knowing the parking lot would be a mess right after the bell anyways I didn't mind that Mr. Mundane had asked Jordan and I to stay behind after class. As the last of the students scuttled through into the hallway I made my way up to the front Jordan already there waiting. 

"Jordan how was today? Not regretting your transfer already are you?" I could hear Mr.Mundane asking as I approached his desk. Followed by Jordan's laughter. From where I stood I could see his profile, his black hair curling at his neck and falling just barely into his eyes before his hand combed it all back. 

It looked so soft the way his fingers glided through it like air. For some reason I found myself yearning to touch it see if each curl were as soft as they looked. Wondering if my fingers would come back black from his hair, no hair was that dark naturally. 

I heard Jordan say my name and I snapped back to reality. When I looked at their faces and realized they had asked me a question. " Mr. Mundane said you could show me fastest way to the parking lot since I am still confused by the building a bit." " oh yea; I'll show you."
