His Lucky Charm(On Hold)

4. An awkward guy

Her blue eyes were wide open, staring at me like as though I was some sort of hippo with horns sprouting from my head.

"Alexa, oh that impertinent girl!" an angry voice boomed from the other side of the wall. That yell seemed to break our eye contact as the girl shook out of her trance and blushed a deep crimson shade before awkwardly falling off my chest.

"I-I'm so sorry!" she stammers as she she smoothens her plaid skirt and adjusts her cream blouse that rose a little up, exposing a bit of her waist.

"That's okay," I try sounding casual, trying to brush it off and making it seem like a girl falling on me happens very often in my oh so social life, but for the first time, a girl actually looked at me like a normal guy and not some gigantic sized voodoo doll full of bad luck. I smile secretly at the fact that I've made a girl blush.

She opens her mouth but is interrupted, "There you are!" I look at the iron gates open and stare at the prim and proper teacher in a business suit whose jaw is visibly tightened as she grips a pointer in her hand.

She visibly pales and jumps up in surprise. "I think we should go!" she hurriedly says grabbing my hand and pulling me along with her.

Why is she dragging me as well??

"Coast is clear?" she whispers as she glances over my shoulders while I take a deep breath due to the fact that her face was dangerously close to mine. We huddle in a small alley and she grips my arm tightly as she hears the clatter of steps.

I freeze and she grins happily, "I think we are safe now." Are you kidding me? It feels like they are hunting us down, they might be just round the corner waiting to pounce on us with an axe to hack us to death.

"My name is Alexa by the way. Are you okay? You look a bit green," she worriedly says as she glances at my unsteady stance.

"She's right. You look really sick," I hear the irritating winged guy in the tonga snicker ,"such a girl."

"You should shut up!" I growl at him as I rub my elbow which was grazed from the fall.

"You said something?" she asks as she looks around to check if her teachers are following her.

"No, no ... nothing," I mange to grin awkwardly as he lets out a howl of laughter while clutching his pot belly. I guess she can't see him, no wonder I'm cursed. "What will I see next? Flying potatoes?" I mutter under my breath.

"Actually, that's where you're wrong. Those are called French flies," Luck says before erupting into fits of laughter as I wince at that horrible pun.

"Stab me," I loudly grumble and Alexa looks at me in confusion.

"You are suicidal? You want me to take you to the hospital? We could talk to a psychologist-" her lips turn down word as she checks her phone to Google the nearest Psychiatric help for me.

"I'm fine," I tell her and she looks at me, unconvinced, before putting her phone away.

"What's your name?" she asks as we finally walk on the streets again, as she munches on some electric blue cotton candy that seems to make her eyes seem more bluer.

"Ah, it's Devon-" I open my mouth only to get it stuffed with candy.

"I haven't been out much. That school seems like such a prison!" she huffs as she looks at the sky and swings her hands freely and I watch her skip on the pavement as I quietly chew the bubble favoured candy.

She turns and smiles at me, "Thanks for catching me." Her shy smile makes me blush.

"She's definitely your lucky charm, you should date her. Till now a crow hasn't shat on your head, nor have you been hit by a bus." L whispers into my ears and I swat him away. "Forget date, marry her!" He flies around my head like a persistent bee that doesn't seem to go away.
