-Jade-

"Wait so what I'm hearing is , that Jade was, I mean is real??!" Asks Joel looking at Christopher.

"Hahaha of course she's real ....otherwise I've been bestfriends with a ghost" laughs Christopher.

"What are you guys talking about??" I question.

"Everytime I asked Christopher about the girl from that night, I mean you, He'd tell me that you had simply been a hallucination because he'd never heard of you " responds Joel .

"Explain " I glare at Christopher with my arms crossed on my chest.

"Ahaha....I was just joking " he chuckles , putting his hands in his front jean pockets.

"I thought I really was going crazy...." Admits Joel smiling.

"You kinda are bro! So you're our new student, huh?"

"Yeah today's my first day" grins Joel.

"Bye Christopher! Let's continue on with the tour" I say loudly.

"Hahaha bye pair de tontos" *pair of dummies*
Says Christopher walking away.

Side by side,we pass outside the cafeteria ; with it's walls painted with not exactly graffiti, but recycle signs in blue, and an earth in green and blue and children holding hands all around it.

Does he even remember our kiss? Or does he also think it was just a hallucination?

"Well as you can see, this is the cafeteria " I say, gesturing towards the lunch tables, seats, and booths.

he suddenly stops walking, and speechlessly stands there looking behind me.
His expression thoughtful.

No, at me.

"You ok? Do you have to use the bathroom or something?" I ask confused.

"Haha no. Sorry it's just that I was just thinking that if you really aren't just a hallucination...if you're real....then the kiss did happen...right?" He asks lowering his gaze to the ground, timidly.

Timidly? As if! He's Joel Pimentel; and if the rumors are true, that's definitely not one of his traits.

"I don't recall....just so you know, I've a horrible memory" I lie straight through my teeth.

"Well in that case..." He takes a few steps closer to me,

"Maybe I could help you remember?" he says, as we're right infront of eachother, our lips mere centimeters apart...

"Umm...I...so your first period is upstairs , in C209 " I tell him, taking a step backwards.

He sighs , and looks down at his schedule.

"Precalc?"

"Precalc " I smile.

I show him the gym afterwards, and then the location of his remaining classes.

"Where's locker 189B?" He asks.

"Ohh it's on the second floor, right next to...mine " I say awkwardly.

"Cool...nice to meet ya locker neighbor " he smirks.

We get to his locker, and he tries to put in the combination several times, but epicly fails.

"The bell's about to ring...lemme help you " I offer.

"Kk"

I bend down, and try to focus on the combination numbers in black, on the sheet, held by him .
