Flight

Gestures

The teacher, Mrs. Jackson entered class, I was searching for Ricky as Adeline helped me with the work I've missed out on. As things were getting started she called my name, as I stood up and as if exactly on cue Ricky and a few people were at the door, his blue eyes piercing because of the light. Mrs. Jackson then faced towards them saying, " You are all students of the same class, isn't it right for y'all to come into class before the bell?" One of the boys next to Ricky said "But Ma'am Coach Riley stopped us for some work." "Was Miss Frank required?" she asked as a blonde haired girl came into view, a tall height, lean figure and the only difference that I could make out was her eyes were blue instead of his hazel ones. Could they be siblings? Wait.. He's hot, she's hot.. They wouldn't avoid each other. She spoke then, "Well Mrs. Jackson, I am the leader of the cheerleading team, since high school, I was required without question." Wow. That's rude and if it's not anymore information, isn't she The Head Of The Department? "Fine" Mrs. Jackson said with annoyance, "Get in. All of you. Now.. Where were we in class? Ah yes! Miss Roy, introduce yourself to the class." So I got up and walked to the front of the class, straightening my shoulders as I walked ahead. "Good morning. My name is Samyrah Roy. I just moved to America this morning from Australia. I've come here to complete my masters and hopefully work here later as well in something which would have to do with publishing and writing" I spoke. Shit, I should've started with a 'Hi' instead. A few faces smiled back and then I walked back to my seat noticing that the blonde haired girl was sitting there. "Excuse Me. Hadn't I kept my bag on the seat?" She looked at me saying in curt manner "I need to sit here, next hour I'll leave. So you can have it then." The only thing I could say at the time was, "Whatever" she just sat shooting glares at me as if I told her to fall off a cliff. What was this? High school drama I missed out on? Then I spot Ricky who was smiling at me gesturing me to come to a seat next to him.Mrs. Jackson then spoke about the assignment and put the remaining students into groups. "Hey" he said moving closer to my chair. "Hi" I said stopping writing some of the details about the course and looking at him. "So, when are you coming home?" he asks, alarming me. "Sorry what?" I ask. "Yeah, I thought you'll come home.. Like you know for the project and all.. I'll have matches soon.. I won't be free later." He explains. Why is he behaving weirdly? "Oh.. Um okay. I'll let you know when I'll be free as soon as I've picked my Add-On courses. We don't have to go to your place, we can go to the library, get the information, take down points and we'll compile them later." He was looking at me wide eyed as if he were surprised or shocked.. He then said, " No one's ever passed on the offer of coming to my house, also I don't go to the library." "I'm not everyone I guess" I say, "Why, is Mr. Carlton afraid of the books in there?" I ask him then grinning like a cat. "You know, I would've found it hot that you just referred to me so formally, but just to let you know, the librarian and me don't get along" He says. "Pshh you don't have to get along with the librarian to come to the library besides I'm with you so I can help you enter" I say shrugging. He gives me his cheeky grin and comes close bringing his mouth to my ear and says," I'll enter without your help" as if he meant something else.. And believe me, it did. I'm not as innocent as he thinks I'd probably be. After a while he moves back and says,"Besides, the librarian is a sl#t. So, you should get home instead." he says, okay how does he know  "Fine, whatever" I tell him and then take down other details, then we talk about stupid write ups we've come across and keep laughing about how certain people copy their writings directly from Google and lie saying they wrote it themself. A guy threw a paper at me and Ricky took it and told me his friend threw it and it was meant to hit him and not me, I had already read the words written on it in black gel 'PRACTICE BABY😻' I thought it was for their match practice so I din't ponder much, but the cat with heart eyes? Hmm never mind.
Then he asked, "What have you picked as your add on course?" I reply saying ," I'm picking creative writing for my first half, I'm not quite sure about the smaller side programs for the other half. What about you?" He smiles saying  "Aahhh. Okay. Guess I'll see you around partner" and just walks away making me realize that class was over leaving me thinking if he's weird or just hard for me to comprehend. I then walk to Adeline and she says she needs to use the washroom so I follow her, we see a group of guys on our way ogling at us like they've never seen girls before, I had a bad feeling as if they were younger than us. We laughed about it as we walked into the washroom. I was playing around with my messed up hair, so I decided to put it into a bun meanwhile Adeline was out and she said, "You're being quite the popular crowd attraction you know?" I looked at her blankly and asked,"What do you mean?" She smiled, "Their attention has been on you for quite some time now. That guy you were flirting with.. Um Ricky? He was apparently in a head over heels relationship with that chick, Bethany Frank.. The one who sat in your seat and stuff.." I nod my head with my mouth forming an 'O', "That chick cheated on him, he and his friends had this huge party for him where even Bethany was invited and he said i quote, "The New chick will be my babe, that's why she's delaying her arrival, because when she comes she'll come with a bang" to which his guy friends were hooting and whistling and this happened in the cafe I work before you wonder how I know this."
I was a little pissed but it did not bother me that much so I said to her, " I'm nobody's book to be written, but my own. So thank you for telling me, but let's not give it much importance,  all this may just be his raging hormones talking or drinks or a coincidence even" I say. We come out of the washroom and exactly opposite the door I see Ricky staring at me and pulling his hair back, as if it was long and he was trying to put a bun too.
I walked towards him even slower holding his gaze and talking to Adeline at the same time. Next thing I know he comes towards me with his friend and introduces his friend saying, " Samyrah, meet Logan. Logan meet Samyrah.I repeat, 'Sa-mai-rah' dude get her name right" This guy makes me look cruel "Ha ha. Very funny Ricky. Hi Logan." I shake his hand and introduce Adeline to them. Ricky then pulls Logan and stands in between me and Logan and says to me, "I have to discuss topics on our assignment. I won't be free later and right now we have a two hour gap" he suddenly stops talking and I look at his face, he is staring at me and suddenly lifts his hand to my cheek I froze and my breathing hitches. He then says, "you're eyelash.. Here.. give me your hand" I do, "Make a wish" he said, I think of a white bed and a purplish duvet on whose side there's a maroon dress and red roses near the pillow case. I love thinking of it. I open my eyes, seeing him smile like a goof and hear him say," I thought you were asking for babies, you look cute with your hair like this" making me blush because it was so random.
