You have my heart, prince.

.:Chapter 3:.

~Nepetas pov~

As I walked away from the Strider I was holding back tears that were threatening to fall and show just to see how pathetic I was for getting my hopes up.  I walked through the halls with what seems like millions of people watching me. I was shaking furiously as I walked, I heard quiet whispers, :33<they're talking about me I thought. I saw an empty classroom and decided to hide in there for now.
Sigh. I just came here and I'm already having problems that I caused on myself.

The seat from where I sat was next to the window, and the calming silence of the empty halls was comfortable. It gave me time to think and breath. Human nature was pretty and cold. Almost everything was covered in a sheet of white.
:33<now that I think about it, Dirk probably knows I'm flushed for him, yet he flirts in front of me with some other girl.

"What are doing skipping classes on your first day?" I jumped out of the chair I was sitting in and nearly fell to the ground if Dirk wasn't there to help me.

"Nepeta looks up at the Strider wandering what he meant and asked: It should surrley have been a few minutes before I came here, no??" Dirk gave me a disappointed shake of his head. 

"Classes have ended already and I didn't see you in any of the classes we have together after Mrs. Smith, " I looked at my shoes not really feeling the urge to respond and just like that, my shoes where suddenly the center of my attention. He was talking about something, but I didn't listen and I think he must have noticed. He took hold of my chin gently lifting my face up so I could make eye contact with him. I think.

"What, cat got your tongue? You've been spacing out a lot lately. I mean, you didn't even notice me come in. "

"Sorry, " I say and forced a smile and pushed him away to get out of the room because the air instead of being calming and anti stressful was suddenly becoming  toxic to my lungs.

"Hey, " I stopped in my tracks even though I wanted to leave so badly and curl up into a ball and cry, I wanted to hear him out.

"On next Thursday after school,  can you meet me behind the school so we can discuss something?" I wasn't sure, honestly. I didn't feel to confident in my self at the moment.

"Nepeta nods her head in agreement. " And just like that, I left. Like a boss. Ran down the halls to the front of the building. I was panting a little. Out of excitement and worry. I still have a lot of time till Thursday. I can't wait!

:33<I need friends!...
