Saved from myself

Mystery guy

When I walked in the classroom I saw him. He was sitting in the back with his earplugges in. I freezed for a second but then Rena grabbed me " Oh my isn't that the hot guy from this morning, guess this is my lucky day". Elize was warning her " Shouldn't you take it slow you just broke up with Tyler?". " You see that is exactly the reason not to take it slow.." she whispered while walking towards the mystery guy who helped me that same morning. She was trying to make a conversation but he did not seem to be interested. He was completely focused on the teacher, book and later on me.. The whole time the only thing I could think about is how I embarrassed myself in front of this guy who I will have to face the whole year during History class. The fact that he didn't stop staring at me was not very helpfull either. After the bell rang I quickly packed my things and left the classroom. Later that day I was putting my books in my locker when mystery guy showed up. He stood right in front of me, so close I could hear his breathing. " What is your name?" He asked. " Who is asking?" I replied. He had this smirk on his face while he took one step back. "Joseph Windergal it is, now you answer my question sweetheart". "My name is Sophie Arendell" I answered while I felt my heart pounding. He kept looking at me and I started feeling very uncomfortable. " Why are you staring at me..?". " Oh sorry.. I can't help myself, I find you very beautiful". I starting laughing and told him he could go fool another girl. "How is your hand?" He asked. " It hurts, I guess bringing a knife with me isn't such a good idea after all". He told me to come with me to the nursing office. I refused, but he wouldn't leave me until I did. "How did this happen Sophie, are you okay?" Mrs. Grayson asked. Mrs. Grayson was a close friend of my mother and knew about my 'condition'. " I am fine, just wrap my hand so I can go." I answered irritated. Joseph looked confused at me and Mrs. Grayson saw it so she asked if there was something she needed to know. "I had a small panic attack on my way to school when Elize and Rena suprised me. Nothing unusual, the same old thing." I answered while getting up and ready to leave. " You know I have to call your mother about this? I thought the depression, panic attacks and anxiety were over? Does your therapist know about this? I am always here if you want to talk Soph just accept my help." She answered while getting tears in her eyes. " I will leave right now before I will go crazy for real. I am standing here with a classmate who does not have to know all of this. How can you even...you are being ridiculous!" I screamed while storming of. I went straight to the bathroom, but Joseph pulled me to him. He wrapped his hands around me and hugged me. I started to feel tears rolling down my cheeks and was fighting against myself. I wanted to scream and hit something..someone. I wanted to hit myself. Joseph ran his fingers through my hair. He was holding me so tight I couldn't move. I couldn't hurt myself. When he noticed I was calming down he let me go " I guess I will see you tomorrow in class?". He wiped the tears from my face and smiled " You'll be fine princess". Then Elize and Rena came up to me so we could get lunch. This was the perfect opportunity for me to flee from this weird situation. So that is what I did, I just walked away . The only problem was that my bestfriends wouldn't stop asking me questions about this Joseph guy. I couldn't help but feel flattered and even a little happy. He was probably just having a bet with someone or making fun of me. I tried to stay positive about it, but my thoughts wouldn't allow me. There was no way that, that guy really thought I was beautiful. There is no human being in the world who would think that I was beautiful. Besides he probably thinks I am a freak after what happend.
