I Found Myself Falling... Not For The Right Thing Either.

31: Teardrops

“I’ll see you guys later.” I waved to Katie and James, leaving them besides Katie’s locker.  They both waved to me and then continued on with their conversation. There was something about today that made me feel bubbly. I didn’t know if it was the fact that we had a long weekend or the fact that I was dating-

Craig.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I stopped at the voice and turned to see him leaning against a locker.

It’d been officially one week since we started dating. I don’t know if you can call it official since we were the only two to know about it, but it sure as hell felt amazing when we did get chances to be together.

“I’m going to class.” I mumbled, looking down so my hair would fall in front of my face. People were starting to stare in our direction. We never talked during school and ever since they saw the two of us at that party the one night people were watching us skeptically.

“Nope, you’re not.” My head snapped up so I could look at Craig full on.

“What are you talking about?!” I questioned. The bell was going to ring any second and I was most likely not going to make it to class on time if we didn’t stop talking soon.

“Sorry buddy, but you don’t control me.” I informed him. He reached for me, grabbing my elbow slightly and pulling me against him.

“I’ve got an interview with a scout tonight and another on Friday so unless you don’t want to see me this week… you’re coming with me,” was all he said, getting a little closer than usual in school to whisper the rest, “so meet me in the band hall as soon as the bell rings.” He pulled away, but not without kissing my cheek softly first.

I frowned slightly. That wasn’t a very fair option, but when his lips brushed against my cheek for that mere second I was in his power. I have no clue how he does this to me, but whenever he kisses me I’m flying on sky nine.

“The bell’s going to ring.” I mumbled, taking a few steps back so that we weren’t close enough to be suspicious to others.

“Then skip class.”

With that he pushed himself off of the locker he was leaning against and started down the hall towards the science wing.

My lips pursed. He had said the band room and yet he was headed in the total opposite direction. He wasn’t making a fool out of me, was he?

I laughed silently to myself. Craig wouldn’t do that to me, no matter what anymore. So, I decided to hide in the bathroom until a few minutes would pass.

A few girls exited the bathroom, giggling a bit. I recognized them, but they weren’t the type I hung around with. A red headed girl smirked when she saw me, but I just rolled my eyes and continued into the bathroom just as the bell rang. This gave me just a few more minutes to wait. Craig was obviously going to take a bit getting there since he went the total opposite way.

I decided to check myself over. I know I sound pathetic, but I hated looking bad in school especially when I had a guy to impress. I dressed simply in a bright yellow cardigan and a black tank top with a pair of light blue skinny jeans. It was a simple outfit, but it looked cute.

I pulled back my bangs to see if I liked them back or forward when I heard a cry. I instantly jumped and turned around, but nobody was there. I slowly turned back to the mirror I was looking in before thinking of how I had probably waited long enough since the bell had rung when I heard a sob.

“Hello?”

There was no answer, but I heard another sob and it was coming from the stalls.

I bit my lip debating on whether to go and find Craig or find out who was crying in the bathroom. I could just think of how long we could make out in the abandoned hall, but too bad my good instincts kicked in and I walked towards a closed stall.
