Psycho "Love"

The one in the way

The same routine i have every morning was playing. Clothes, shoes, food, then the walk to school. This time for school i have a reason to be nice.
I enter the school's main doors and slip off my shoes, placing them in my locker and taking out my bag and class books. I round the corner and watch for her locker door.
"Emmily" My voice goes sweet and i smile toward her open locker. Her head peaks around the corner and a small smile comes over her face.
"Oh hello," she nods and hides back behind her locker, grabbing the necessary items for her classes. "Did you need something?" Her voice was fainter from behind the locker.
I make my way around to the other side of her locker and smile longer.
"Would you like to hangout after school today?" She looks to me quickly and studies my face.
"Uhm, i don- i have plans." She cuts short and smiles at me again, reassuringly. "Maybe tomorrow?"
"Yeah tomorrow." I turn and walk away, my smile instantly gone and a snarl appearing across my lips.
She has- Plansss? Annoying.
I enter my first hour, before I enter the class the snarl is replaced with kindness. Boys love sweetness, and the boy that i want is in here. This is the class i have with him.
I must make a good impression.
I enter the class, glancing at him. I sit in my seat. I know my face is red.. he's just as attractive as i remembered him. His dark brown hair now styled up, into slightly spiked long waves and slight layers.
His hazel eyes flashed over to me from his phone. His lips formed a small smirk, yet his eyes seemed curious. I look down to my blank paper, i had been staring at him so long i could identify every color in his bright eyes.
I tapped the table nervously, flashing glances back to him every now and then, his thoughts being occupied by his phone.
"Now to form groups, groups of twos!" Mrs. Walkins mentioned, waving a paper of instructions in the air.
People scattered to form groups, girls going with girls, boys grouping with boys. I sat there watching as people grouped together, i mainly just did projects by myself, it's done right and quickly that way.
I scribbled my name on the slot for the second partner and starting writing down the answers for the extra credit questions.
My thought process got interrupted by the mention of my name.
"You're Lucy right?"
I quickly glance up, my face going hot, he's standing in front of me..
"Y-Yes. That's me." I try to cool down and smile at him.
Confidence, that's what boys like.
"Okay, well. Mrs. Walkins has assigned me to you, since I don't know anyone here." His smile doesn't come back, he more just shrugs and sits in the seat next to me.
I try focusing on my lab and gather the supplies needed. I glance toward him, his eyes are glued to his phone. Looks like i really am working on this by myself.
The project goes smoothly and I'm halfway through it, bubbles fill the tub that the tube is in. I slide on gloves and start removing the tube slowly.
"You're already almost done? What the hell?" I stop moving as he's looking at me with amazement.
"What? This is all simple." i shrug and continue the lab, slowly, i feel nervous like I'm doing something wrong. Just because his eyes are on me.
"But that's crazy, we're not even halfway through class yet!" His phone's on the table as he speaks to me.
I nod and get up and wash all the supplies. I sit back down at the table and correct my statements and write down the last answers. I glance over to him, he's no longer amazed but he has all of my answers on his paper.
"Did you take my answers?" Nothing, not even a movement, i sit there like and idiot waiting for an answer. "Did you ta-"
"Yes, yes i did. Rather you did. We're partners, we share answers." His tone was annoyed, he didn't even glance up at me. How badly i wanted his eyes on me, how badly i wanted those lips on mine, i would give anything for him to show his love to me.
It's not time yet
I return my eyes back to my paper and rest my chin on my hand.
Class seemed to go by so slowly, sitting next to him made everything slow, the only focus was him. Every second counted by so slowly, as if time itself had almost stopped. Yet every time i glance at him my heart beats faster.
"Wow look at you two! I should partner you up more often!" Mrs. Walkins glances at both our papers with a cheesy smile on her face. She clasps her hands together, smiling, and walks off to other groups.
There's no way we're going to be partnered up every time.
"Are you going to work next time, or am i going to do it all for you again?" I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms across my chest.
"Next time?"
"Yeah, next time. You got partnered up with me today, that means it's going to happen again," His eyes still glued to his phone, he just shrugs. "Do you have a problem looking at me, or is there something too important on your phone?" I feel my jaw clench as my teeth grind together. I want his attention, All of it. Not just pieces.
He pauses for a minute and his eyes move over to me, they seem cold, not curious anymore. And then his lips twitch and a smile appears on his face. As if nothing cold was there, his face lights up with the smile.
"Do you want to hangout after school?"
I pause. Trying to see if this is somehow a joke. His smile stays as he waits for an answer. I open my mouth to say something but only a quick breath comes out. I nod and smile.
Clearing my throat i mumble, "..where?"
"My house should be a problem. I basically live by myself. I can make dinner or something."
I nod and follow his hand, he's scribbling down something and hands it to me.
"My address and my number for if you need.. something." His smile becomes a grin and he turns back to his phone. "Come by around.. 6 after school."
~~~~~~~~
My next classes were slow yet quick at the same time. My mind was in a jumble and i swear i was shaking. I'm going to have dinner with him? I can't believe it.. i need to find something nice to wear.. good thing Emmily had plans.
Wonderful
