After Colin left, Hugo came in. Looking back, he said, "Who's that?"
"Some kid. Calls himself Colin."
"Oh."
I look at Hugo's face and try to see if he's okay or noticed.
Seems okay. For now.
"So, whatcha drawing?"
"Oh, uh, nothing." I quickly realize that my Hugo drawing is still out. I blush and feel my hands cover up the drawing as Hugo's eyes brush across my moleskin.
"Doesn't look like nothing to me," I hear him say as I quickly close my moleskin and throw it in my backpack.
Not a good idea. He grabs my moleskin and playfully teases me as he tries to open it. I scream but laugh at the same time.
There are a lot of drawings.
Of him.

After my "alone" break is done, I headed back outside where the garden was. We had a garden at our school where we could hang out but only if you really needed to. There was a bunch of colorful trees and plants and everything seems perfect.
I sat down against a tree branch, it's leaves and branches tickling me as I walked through. I open up my moleskin and stare at it.
This should be the perfect place to get inspiration.
Why isn't it coming?

I ended up sleeping.
How smart of me, right?
I was found by Colin. Again.
WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE, COLIN? I mentally shouted to him as he held out his hand.
I thought he was pissed at me for having a boyfriend.
No?
I hesitated and looked around.
No one.
"How did you find me?" I asked, staring into his black, black eyes. He shrugged and said nothing, his hand still out.
I take it and stand up, facing him.
"Seriously, how did you find me?" I asked again, looking at the fish in the pond.
He shrugs again and I sigh.
"Never mind, let's go back to class." I walk over to the door and open it. But he says something.
"Are you..."
