Oh crap. Dammit! I was not expecting to see him so soon! I didin't plan what I was going to say! Why is this happening right now?!
"Erm hi Hannah." He greets me slightly awkwardly.
I don't blame him, I did basically runaway after we kissed.
"Hi." I reply a bit more confidently after I realise he's just as nervous as me, if not more.
"Look I'm sorry if I upset you at the party, I thought you wanted to kiss me too but I guess I misread the signals. I know that your religion doesn't allow it and I still kissed you and for that I'm so sorry. I'm not going to pretend I didn't enjoy the kiss, but your friendship means a lot to me and I'd hate it if this ruined it." He says as he brushes his hand through his hair, a tell tale sign that Jakes even more nervous than he's letting on.
"No. Don't apologise it's my fault ok. I shouldn't have just run away like that. I panicked, but that's not an excuse. It was childish and rude, so I'm the one that should be apologising not you. I knew then and I still know that kissing you is not allowed in Imy religion, but I still let you and for that I take as much blame as you." I quickly say before I can chicken out.
"So does that mean my apology is accepted?" He asks me hopefully.
"Yes, as long as mine is too." I smile.
"Of course!" He breathes out pulling me into one of his bear crushing hugs.
"Jake. Can't. Really. Breathe." I barely get out before he lets me go.
"Sorry! I'm just so glad we sorted this out. I was worried you wouldn't want to talk to me again." Jake admits sheepishly.
"Me too, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried too." I laugh.
"I'll catch up with you later on, I'm already late for my first lesson of the day." I tell him as I make my way to leave.
"Oh crap me too, I've got double biology, ugh!" Jake groans.
"Me too, we can go together." I tell him chuckling.
"Awesome. We can be lab partners." Jake grins as he nudges me.
As we make our way to biology I can't help the small smile that tugs at the corners of my mouth. It might not seem like much, but it feels like some of the weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And after the last couple of months I've had, I welcome it gladly.
************
We reach our biology class just as Mr Mcclarkson is finishing up the module introductory speech.
"How nice of you to grace us with your presence Ms Noah & Mr Daniels." He says dryly.
"Sorr-" Me and Jake start.
"Just hurry up and sit down please, you've already wasted enough of the classes time." He interrupts us before we can even utter an apology.
Slightly embarrassed I turn to find the nearest empty seat. As I sit down I take a seat near a guy in the middle row. I take out my things and find myself zoning out, as Mr Mcclarkson drones on about what to expect on the course. While he's talking I turn slightly to see who the guy next to me is. I think he might be new, but I can't really tell since I can only see half his face. As if on cue he turns around and looks at me expectantly. I know I should look away and just as I'm about to, I stop. It's his eyes. They stop me dead in my tracks. They're a dark grey that look almost brown and for a second I can no longer tell which colour they are. They're not extraordinary or anything, but there's something about them that makes me feel like he can see right through me. It's a chilling thought especially since I don't know this guy, and he most definitely does not know me. Regardless of this fact it's a welcoming thought and that alarms me more than anything else. I don't know how long we sit there staring at each other, but he's the one to break contact.
Embarrassed for what seems like the umpteenth time, I turn away. Still stunned I look back at the board and focus on the task at hand. I'm not one to randomly stare at some guys eyes let alone analyse them, so what the heck is up with me? Well one thing's for sure, he's definitely new.
