Pure Soul

Part 2

The next day you woke up in the morning and felt something strange in your chest. Like your heart was trying to get out of your body, it was beating furiously. You didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at that.
So as the minutes passed before school you quickly took a shower and tried to decide what to wear as you didn’t want to be late. It wasn’t that easy. All you took on seemed like didn’t suit you properly, you wanted to look great.
But then you remembered how Andy said that he had many posters so that meant he liked rock music and that meant a band shirt would be the best thing to wear.
So you decided to wear your “Asking Alexandria” shirt, as the latest album “The Black” was your favourite you had the cover picture of the album on your shirt.
You also chose a pair of black jeans and a very cute backpack with a little teddy bear on it. You looked in the mirror again and whispered “great”.
Packing your things seemed to be kind of hard. You took your books and decided also to take your prof. camera with you, as you didn’t take new photos for your wall for a while, you decided to correct that mistake. Since you were a little girl one of your old friends, before leaving the town, gave you his camera and since then you had been taking photos of people, places, other things and all those photos took their place on your wall. It looked really beautiful.
As you were ready to go out, you decided to keep quiet not to wake your dad up and fortunately you could do that. Kelly was waiting for you outside your house. You smiled and hugged her.
“Hey beautiful”,- you said.
“Heyy”,- she hugged you back.
“How are you doing?”,- you asked as you both started to walk to school.
“Well I’m okay, but I’m sure you are not. Well at least you weren’t yesterday”,- she said seriously. You refused to go out with her yesterday because of that guys. You were kind of insecure, and that’s why asked Kelly to come and take you to school.
“Yeah. I’m sorry I wasn’t feeling well”,- you answered.
“Tell me whatever it is, come on. Was it Andy?”.
“Huh? Well, kind of”,- you said looking down.
“Oh, fuck. What did he do?”
“Saved me I guess”,- you smiled.
Kelly stopped for a second seriously looking at you.
“What?”,- she looked confused.
“Well. Now. I will tell you everything if you promise you are not going to tell anybody, or panic, or kill some people”,- you stopped and said.
“So?”.
“Promise?”
“Promise! Come on!"
“Well”,- you  took a deep breath,- “yesterday few guys from our school came after me and whatever the wanted to do it didn’t seem good. Luckily Andy was there and he saved me and took me home. Besides he asked me for help with maths and I said yes”,- you said looking at Kelly. Her face was scared/confused/angry.
“What the hell did you just say to me?!”,- she shouted.
“Ow ow! You promised!”,- you said trying to smile.
“How can you say this? What if they did something bad to you?”,- she asked confused.
“But they didn’t I promise I will be more careful okay?”
“Okay. So. I will take you home every single day!”,- she raised her voice,- “only then I can promise you that I will not do anything about this. Deal?”.
“Deal”,- you said and she hugged you.

Few minutes later you were in school. You entered the class and started to look for Andy. But you couldn’t find him. Maybe he wasn’t feeling well that day that’s why he didn’t come. Your mood changed and you were already sad about the fact that he wasn’t there.
You sat on your desks and Kelly looked at you smiling. She saw that you were sad and were trying to comfort you.
Next few hours were really long. Classes. Classes. Classes. It was so bad you couldn’t get him out of your mind. But it was a launch time so you went to cafeteria to eat something.
You and Kelly walked to find a seat for yourself when you heard Andy talking and laughing with some guys. They were eating pizza and seemed like they really were enjoying themselves.
You and Kelly sat and looked at each other.
“Wow. The new student already misses the classes”,- Kelly said.
“Seems like he found friends”.
“Yeah, those are Toby, Jacob and…”
“Ashely”,- she whispered.
“Ooh no. Not again. Look they are good boys. Maybe the only good ones at this school.  But Ashley? Ashley Purdy? THE Ashley Purdy? Come on Kel. He dates only the popular bitches of this school”,- you said.
“What am I that bad?”,- she asked looking down.
“No Bluebird( that was her nickname ), you are beautiful and funny, the only difference is that you are not a bitch”,- you said laughing.
“Oh god”,- she laughed too, -“ whatever. He is very cute and funny and, yeah. I guess I have a crash on him”.
“Awe poor girl”,- you said and you both laughed again.

On your way home with Kelly you talked about random staff like bands and clothes. But suddenly you heard a familiar voice from behind.
“Hey guys!”,- he said.
You turned around and it was Andy. You smiled but Kelly didn’t.
“Hey”,- you said.
“How are you today?”,- he asked.
“Worse than you I’m sure”,- Kelly answered.
“Kelly!”,- you whispered looking at her.
“Well. If it’s because of that I didn’t appear at the classes today, that wasn’t my fault. I promised guys to play football with them so I did”,- he smiled.
“Oh you were not at the class today? Really? I didn’t even notice”,- Kelly smiled.
“Kelly!”,- you whispered again smiling.
Andy smiled too and you melted.
“Okay”,- you said,- “so what’s up?”.
“I was wondering if you could help me today. I will have to give Mr. Green some algebra paperwork it would be great if you could check it out”,- he smiled.
“Well. I will be happy to”,- you answered and looked at Kelly.
“Oh. I will go home then. I have to help mom with packing some stuff for granny. I give my treasure to you Andy. Be careful”,- she said sharply looking at Andy and he only smiled.
“Yes, madam”,- he answered.
Kelly left and then you were alone. He looked at you and smiled again.
“So?”,- he said.
“Soo, I have a special place here near the beach I always go there When I need to think.  Maybe we can go it’s quiet there”,- you said as you didn’t want to take him home your dad was there.
“Sounds great”,-  he smiled.
Next few minutes you walked in silence. That was a really heavy one. You could say he was kind of nervous. And so were you.
As soon as you reached the place you said.
“There it is”,- you pointed at a big rock in front of the ocean.
“Wow, beautiful”,- he whispered and you both sat leaning on the rock. For some seconds you just looked at the ocean.
Then he handed you his paperwork and for the next hour you started to give him some advices and correct few mistakes.
“Are you a scientist or something?”,- he laughed as you finished.
“Haha, no”,- you smiled looking at him.
“No really. For this few days I know you there wasn’t one problem of maths you couldn’t solve. I’m impressed”,- he said and you felt being red already.
“Why weren’t you even talking to me?”,- you smiled and looked at him.
“I was shy or something”,- he said. You just smiled and took out your camera.
“You take photos?”,-  he asked.
“Yeah”,- you smiled and got up. You started to take photos of him walking along the beach and then he took photos of you. You laughed at each other and had a lot of fun. Then you felt tired, sat back, looked at the photos. They were beautiful.
Your eyes went on the ocean. You felt the relief, it made you feel relaxed and happy. The moment of silence came across. You were just looking at the ocean and hearing the wind.
He broke the silence few seconds later.
“Thanks, Y/N, for your help. You are a good girl”,- he held your hand and looked you in the eyes. You did nothing but smile. He didn’t let go of your hand and that only made you smile more.
“So, will you walk me home?”,- you asked.
“Sure”,- he said and you both got up and as soon as you stared to walk he complimented on your shirt and you talked about “The Black” album all the way home. He didn’t let go of your hand since then and you didn’t refuse.
That was the most beautiful moment of your life.
You didn’t even want to reach Your house. But as you reached you had to go and he had to go away too.
“So. Thanks again”,- he said.
“I had a good time.  And yeah, you’re welcome”,- you smiled.
“Yeah, me too. So, see you tomorrow?”.
“Yup”.
He finally let go of your hand and slipped away smiling. Once again you were standing in front of your house smiling like an idiot.
