SHE'S MYSTIQUE

♂ Chapter 7 - I N T R I G U E D

♂ Zayden ♂

It's her. The moment I see her step out of the car, I start having so many irrational thoughts. Now, seeing her sitting right behind me, looking at me like I'm someone she knows and hasn't seen for long.. I start having those thoughts again.

You know it's her..

She does look like her, the same shape of her eyes, the same nose, the same twinkle in her eyes..

But she has brown eyes.. Shay had sea-blue ones with a hint of green to them. And Sasha's blonde.. Shay had light brown hair.

Zee man you're so desperate now that you've started seeing her everywhere.. this isn't one of your cheap soap operas. It's real life. Face it man, she's never coming back.

But what if..?

A small part of me kept hoping.

When she entered the school, all the others looked at her like she was a celebrity. Maybe she was? But I couldn't help the feeling I had, that she's someone I know. An irrational pang of jealousy shot through me when I saw all the other boys eyeing her. But when Chase said that he was going for her, my jealousy grew into fury. I wasn't usually a fierce person, so the feeling felt weird, especially because of someone I'd just seen. So I didn't join Chase when he went to talk to her.

Say something Zee, don't just sit and stare at her like she's some kind of mystical sea creature or a mermaid.

And a very pretty mermaid..!

Hell I'd never had this problem before. Conversations with girls were easy. But I couldn't say anything to her. I probably looked like a retard right now.

Just then the bell rang and I placed the pen on her table and literally fled out of class.

God, I must've looked so stupid.

I'm such an idiot..

After 3 other classes, I headed towards the cafeteria. I saw Chase coming towards me. The first thing he said was,

"Dude, the new girl, Sasha.. I spoke to her before class.."

Another pang of jealosy shot through me.

" And..?" I said sounding indifferent when actually I was anything but indifferent.

"She's smokin' man. She's hot, rich and classy. She looks athletic too. Not something you see much in girls here."

As Chase kept chattering endlessly of how great Sasha was.. I tuned him out and thought of Shanaya. The first time we'd met had been a beautiful summer day. I was sitting by the lake near our farmhouse.

I had been playing out the entire day and was entirely covered in mud. Then I'd seen a girl come running towards me. She wore a light blue shirt with jeans.
