As i entered class i looked around and my eyes landed on Ryan. I sighed and when he looked at me, i gave him a slight smile which he returned by rolling his eyes.
Ryan used to be my best guy friend, and now we barely talk. We don't even greet each other properly if we meet at events which don't concern school.
"Alright Class, Please settle down" The teacher said, i think his name was Mr. Adam.
I looked about and chose a seat at the back of the class, since i knew i would probably fall asleep. Somehow i wasn't able to sleep, my eyes kept darting to the back of Ryan's head and i kept thinking back to how it used to be.
Ryan used to be the person i could talk to about anything, he was always there for me. He was always like a protective older brother to me. Now it was like he was an utter stranger, we didn't even get to talk things out because he wouldn't listen to anything i wanted to say.
*Flashback*
"Ryan?"
"Kathyy, Hey"
"Hey, Whatsup? Why'd you ask me to come to the park all of a sudden? i have a french quiz tomorrow!"
"I just needed to talk"
"Talk? About what?"
'"Kathy, you know you and me have been friends for as far back as i can remember, but there's something you should know. Look, i know this may come out as a shock to you but you should know that i've always liked your more than a friend Kathy.. and-"
"This is a joke right, Ryan? Im serious, this isn't funny"
"You actually think im joking? Well, guess what Kathy. I'm not, i would have told you this a long time if it wasnt for the stupid crush you've had on my cousin."
"Ryan.. Why would you tell me this if you know i still like Zac and you know how long i've liked him."
"You dont even realize do you? HE DOESNT CARE KATHY. HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT YOU. BUT OTHER PEOPLE DO, LIKE ME."
"please stop shouting you know i hate it when you shout.."
"I need an anwser Kathy. I've waited way too long to tell you this and its really hard to hear you talk about Zac. I'll give you some time to think about it, but if you don't give me an anwser in two weeks i guess we can't be friends anymore."
"What? Ryan, what are you saying?"
"im sorry. two weeks kathy. two weeks."
"RYAAAANNN"
*End of Flashback*
"Miss Kathy? Miss Kathy? "
I woke up from my daze to find the whole class staring at me.
"Umm? Sorry Sir.. What was the question?"
"I expect you to pay more attention in my class Miss. this behaviour will not be tolerated from next class. do you understand?"
"Yes Sir."
"Good"
In about 15 minutes the bell rung and I rushed out of class.My mind was swarming with thoughts of Ryan and I needed to get out of class before I burst into tears. The truth was that I'd actually really missed him.
I headed towards my locker where I would meet Macie since we had the next class together which was Chemistry.
I grabbed my books and we walked towards class. Chemisty is one of my favourite classes. We walked towards one end of the class where the teacher had collected everyone since she was assigning Lab partners. In about 5 mins she started calling out names
"Kate and Erin
Clara and Caleb
Macie and Sam
Kathy and Zac"
She went on calling other names but i couldn't pay attention to them once i realized who she'd paired me with. Macie nudged me excitedly knowing who the teacher had paired me with.
Smiling i headed towards the desk. I looked around but i couldn't see Zac anywhere and while looking around my eyes made contact with Zac's sparkling blue ones. He was standing by the door so i guessed he had just entered. i wondered if i should say something or just wait for the teacher to tell him who he was paired with.
I decided on the latter. He headed over to the teacher and said something. She pointed towards me and i saw him walking over.
"Hey Kathy, Guess we're lab partners then?" He said while smiling
"Hey Zac and i guess we are"
He smilied and me and when he did im pretty sure time stopped and i looked away hoping he wouldn't see my blush.
"Lets get started then?"
"Yeah" i said happily.
