Chasing Ronnie

- Superpower -

*Freshman year*

After our pinky promise. Ronnie and I were caught by the teacher and told to pay attention, which was exactly what I did.

Didn't have to tell me twice.

I have been a straight" A" student my whole life and I'm not allowing anything to get in the way of becoming valedictorian of my high school class. I have developed this power of being able to selectively hear only the teachers in classes, which allows to pay all my attention. No distractions in between me and my " A."

As I'm writing my notes and blocking off everything that is not my teacher. I hear something intercepting my radar.

"Pssst!"

I look up at my teacher and noticed he was still speaking about Henry VIII.

"..He was the second monarch in the Tudor dynasty and is notorious for marrying six times.."

"Pssst!"

What the?

This sort of disruption is so rare. I've had many years of practicing this power that it's almost impossible for someone to breach. I furrowed my eyebrows and tried my absolute hardest to listen to just my teacher and continue with my notes.

"....broke away from the Roman Catholic Church on.."

"Melissa!"

I panicked again dropping my pen in the process. Then seconds later a tan hand was on top of my notebook holding my pen.

I followed the golden arm up to the culprit that dared interfere with my concentration. I narrowed my eyes and snatched my pen back.

Then the I'm-going-through-puberty-kid-whose-name-I don't know, decided to keep his hand over my notebook.

"Um. Can you unhand my notebook. I'm trying to take notes, unlike some people." I whispered and purposely stared at his empty desk.

Such a bad influence.

His hazel eyes looked anxious. "Exactly my point. I need a pen and paper." he whispered back.

Oh gosh. There is so much on the line right now, I'm not paying attention in class! I gripped onto my desk as I leaned to the side and take a peek at my teacher.

"Why are you not prepared?" I whisper yelled. Narrowing my eyes to slits, reflecting my patience with this kid.

"It's the first day! I wait till the supply list is handed out." he whisper yelled back at me.

"You listen here kid." I ripped out not one, but two pieces of paper and put it on his desk. "This will be the last time I ever.." I angrily looked inside my pencil case to pull out a pen when the pen caps...

Oh the dreaded pen caps!

They were brand new. All of them. It's only been six classes, I couldn't have bitten on all of them!

I pulled out each pen one by one to no avail.

"Thank you!" he said.

Wait what? Thank you? But I haven't... I look to the side and noticed he grabbed one of my pens, with the chewed off cap and all.

How embarrassing. I seriously need to stop doing that and just buy some gum.

He didn't seem like he minded it and continued taking notes, so I did the same until class finished.

I got out of my seat excited that I finished my first day of high school in one piece.

"Hey, here's your pen. Thanks." Mr. hoodie handed my chewed up pen back. I accepted it with a deep blush of embarrassment and mumbled a "no problem."

I made my way out of school and started to make my walk home. As I waited for the red light in order to cross the street, I look back to see Mr. hoodie guy just a few feet behind me.

Is he following me?

Oh no. I looked both ways before crossing the street and walked a little faster, looked back again to still see him still behind me.

What does he want? All I have on me is a quarter, a notebook and a plethora of chewed up pens!

He seemed uninterested though, just looking at his phone like a normal teenage boy.

I chose to ignore him and enjoy the scenery. It was such a beautiful day. The leaves were rustling, the sun was burning my skin, the sound of the sprinklers trying to attack me.

Halfway home I heard a cough form behind. Is he seriously following me? I turned around ready to confront this stalker.

"Hey you..." I stopped mid sentence because I watched the kid crossing to the other side of the street. As if he felt my eyes boring into his back, he turned around and did the unexpected.

He waved at me.

He actually waved at me.
