Look Me In The Eyes...**(OFF hold)**

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

I was back at Wegmans in the bakery aisle putting rainbow cupcakes away and trying not to lick my fingers.

I was humming  along to another Jonas Borthers song  to myself as I spotted a familiar mess of dark blonde hair.

"Hey Jerry!" I said as he came near with a sweet smile on his face showing off his cute little dimple on the right cheek.

"Oh hey Rose" he swept his dirty blonde away from his forehead.

He slowly reached up his face and his fingers landed on his glasses. He started taking off his shades. In slow motion. I bit my lip in anticipation. He was almost there and then...

"ROSE!" someone whisper yelled.

I instantly jerked awake at the sound of my name.

"NO! COME BACK" I yelled.Still frazzled.

I lifted my head up to meet Lyla's wild blue eyes that were telling me something urgent. She kept on making weird gestures pointing to my face. Like HELLO! I just woke up! Take it slow man!

"Looks like someone got their own waterfall"

I turned my head quickly to the voice. Hurting my neck in the process. Then did I notice the string of spit on my lip.

The boy, may I add ATTRACTIVE boy, with the shades from the lunch line yesterday was smirking at me.

Oh shoot! I wiped my face blindly and tried to make it unnoticeable and cool, flipping my bronze hair off my shoulder.

"Sup?" I asked coolly, nodding me head.

"Hah. Drool face." said Shades. Hah that's right I gave him a Nickname.

"Butt face" I replied with a smirk. Not realizing how immature I sounded. I smiled when Shades gave a small smile of amusement at my choice of words.

"Channing and Fredrick...BE quiet!"Said the pointy nosed teacher. Both of our smiles vanished and our glares returned.

“I Apologize on Miss Drool’s behalf” Shades said trying to blame it all on me.

“No need to bring yo MOMMA into this!” I fired back at him.

His jaw dropped just a bit but he quickly hid it and put on a mask of anger. He want expectng that now was he?

“Take that BACK!”He yelled.

"DETENTION!"Said Mrs. Bird. Hah, no wonder she has a pointy nose. .

“Ughhhh” I whined in protest along with mr.fredrick here.

The bell rang with us both glaring at each other. Daring the other to make the first move.

i was in the dreaded room of detention that I'd only managed to make a visit to one or two times in all my life. It wasn't scary or anything but some kids are really creepy and its just wasting some of my valuable time. I put my head in my hands on my badly scarred desk and let out a sigh of exasperation. I noticed a wierd spot on my desk. I hope thats not what i think it is. A voice interrupted my desk inspection.

"Hey y-y-you... You g-g-got a spare joint?" slurred the creepy kid with bloodshot eyes and yellow teeth. He was swaying back and forth on his feet. I started to freak out. I was at a loss for words. What do they always teach us in health class? Just say…. Just say... WHAT! Oh my god. This kid's high, he could do anything. Somebody SAVE ME!

"Naw man, she gets her stash from me tomorrow." said a surprising voice. THANK GOD! The one and only, Mr. Fredrick/Shades. Whoa, I don’t even know his first name.

Oh na na, what's his name? Ha. Ha. I'm corny, sue me.

Wait, what am I doing?

"Umm I don't do drugs" I said to Shades as the high kid left stumbling over some chairs.

"Do you want me to call that creep back over here?" he said with a raised eyebrow looking back in the direction of the creepy kid passed out on the floor.

"NO!" I yelled, obviously frightened."No, no. It's okay." I said relieved, trying to cover my outburst. We both looked away for a bit. A bit of an awkward silence.

“Anku” I mumbled.

“What?” said Shades.

“I said …Thank Y-You” I said with a sour face, clearly showing that I do not want to show him an OUNCE of appreciation.
