Not a love story!(Daniel Simmons)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The depressing weather made the day even harder t endure. Today was the first day back after the summer break. New school year. Kalmia walked to school that day with her headphones in playing rock music. She looked behind her to check if there were any cars coming and saw him. Her heart dropped.

Kalmia's POV

This English weather is more dramatic than Holyoke's. One minute it's sunny and the next it raining and then you see a rainbow some where out of no where. I walked my usual route to school. It wasn't that far. Trying to cross the road, I looked behind me to see if cars where behind me, instead I saw him. I should probably tell you that we live near each other, but I rarely see him this early, or like ever. He was wearing a light blue shirt, navy tie and black suit. When I saw him my heart dropped so fast and came back up. It always did that when ever I see him. But I wish it would stop.

Maybe he is just going to his college, I tried to tell my self. So occasionally I looked behind me and acted like I was looking for something. It's been about 5 minutes already, and he is still behind me. This is getting really uncomfortable now. Please don't come to my college. I fucking beg you. I can't go through another year of being near this guy. When I was near the gate, I knew my prayers were not going to change the fact that he will attending her. Now I will see his face every. Single. School. Day. Great.

Is it too late to enrol else where? 

End of Kamila's POV

The head of year teacher gathered both 1st and 2nd  year and sorted them out. Kalmia was relieved when she found out that she had no classes with him, but also secretly sad that she won't see him as often but she managed to convince her self that it was a good thing.

When the group were introduced, some of the students who were from Kalmia's old school welcomed him back. But everyone parted, but it was only Kalmia, him and one other student that were asked to stay back because the teacher needed something from them.

Kamila's POV

Please just hurry up. I just want to get out of here.

I did my very best to avoid eye contact so I just pretended to stare at my phone, you know. Looking productive. But that got boring after a while. So I just gazed into the distance instead. But then I noticed someone approach me. What theI

"Hi" I looked to see it was him.

"Hi, welcome" but I didn't actually mean it. Please go.

"How are you" he asked

"Fine, you?" I said back

"Good" he said, but then the teacher called my name. I was so fucking relieved.

"Well...see you around" I said before I walked away, without looking back.

But no, he decided to pull me back and hug me in an awkward way.

The fuck? Did this guy just?

I pushed him off after patting him on the back awkwardly. What else was I supposed to do.

Was he trying to patch things over?

********6 hours later******

I was in the common rooms, and there where a bunch of people in the 2nd year that were there, which I was also apart of. I was peacefully doing my work, then he walked in with a guy who was his friend from our old school.

Looks like he has already settled. Then I see a group of 4 other girls who surround them, who also went to my old school. I knew one of them liked him from the last year of our school year. She was trying to hard to get him but he wasn't interested. So let's see how this turns out.

Wait why am I even seeing who likes him. Fuck Kalmia, focus. But I couldn't help but look at the corner of my eyes.

She was giggling and bantering with him.

Yup she still does like him! But he completely ignored it. Lol. Guess he still ain't interested.

This is going to be a long year. I can tell already.

*******couple of weeks later*****

I have the urge to just talk to him all day but I know I would look desperate. I was in the common room and I was on the group table along with other people in my year, but I had my headphones in and on my laptop. Suddenly someone tapped me on my shoulder. I take of my headphones.

" hey Kamila, do you think he is good looking" some girl asked me.

He get up from his seat and says "she is just going to say something rude"

"Just be rude back to her" one of his friend said to him..

I should probably tell you that I have been acting really cold towards him. But then I looked a him dark peach lips, dark brownish green eyes, and strong structured face. At that moment I just wanted to jump at him and play with his lush black sticky hair and kiss olive toned body. But I won't, I needed to move from, I have had enough of his cold ass. No more.

"Not in my eyes....but I'm sure someone does" I knew when those words left my mouth, it would hurt his pride.

"Don't worry man, what does she know" someone said, and then in the next few minutes I heard a lot of people complement him on how good looking he was, even guys.

*Few weeks later*

Today I felt like socialising with people, so I spoke to my peers and asked how things were going.

Then I just sat on the table in the common room. Then he came up to my, trying to get my attention by pretending to punch and kick me. So I just reciprocated because I felt like it. Then when we stopped. He came really close to me. Almost towering me. My heart pounded. I swallowed saliva. Pushed him away playfully.

" you know, I like short girls" he said, clearly indicating something. But I acted like I didn't care.

"That's nice" I said. Then I saw him walk towards his clique. You remember the girls I was taking about? Yeah, them and the other guy who was his friend, became an official group.

At the corner of my eyes I saw him go back to flirt with the girl that liked him two years ago. Damn she must of really wanted him. I thought to my self. Well she is pretty and tall and slim. I have convinced my self that they suit way better than we ever could. And I needed this to get over him. I needed to see them two together to finally get it out of my head that we could never be. It wasn't meant to be.
