Mystical High

Chapter 6: Jackson Agrizon

"Hi..."

Amazed by his words, I didn't know what to say. What he said was exactly the same as my dream that night!!! I could feel his stare piercing into my very soul. My heartbeats accelerated. My eyes locked its gaze on the floor. My face turned bright red.

"You sure look cute when you are embarrassed." Jackson chuckled.

Oh, that charming voice.

Making eye contact with him, I forced a slight smile on my face.

"You don't have to be awkward with me you know, I'll take you around the school."

With that, he grabbed my hand and led me to the first room- A lab for making potions. As he went on and on throughout the whole school, I couldn't help but feel my body burning with shyness. Geez, that was my first time having such feelings towards a boy! I wondered how I should communicate with him...Perhaps ask for his number? Hell no! Girls don't ask for a guy's number! Only guys do that!! What about... Following him around school secretly and find out his interests? Nah... That could be too obvious! Maybe I should stick with stalking him online? That had to be the best idea. Yes! Online! Immersed in my own thoughts, I smiled in happiness. I totally did not notice Jackson staring at me, grinning.

"Damn, she's cute." Jackson muttered under his breath.

"Back to Earth Jewel!"

I shook upon seeing Jackson snap his fingers infront of me. I blushed again.

"Sorry..."

Jackson beamed and continued the tour. Well, since he smiled, I guess he had forgiven me.

After the tour

"Yep. This is it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Jackson gave me a wink and left. I sighed. Even though I did not talk much in the entire tour, I liked his presence. Seeing him leave me, my soul seemed to crave for him more and more. Shrugging, I turned away and headed for my locker. Little did I know that Jackson actually turned back to look at me once...

Such a cute guy like Jackson, he probably had a plenty of girls after him right? And he had probably given more than one girl a school tour right? So what the hell was I thinking? The chances of him falling for me seemed really slim. Maybe I should stay as his secret admirer...

Carrying my books, I made my way for my first class: Dreams. That was the class I exactly needed. Learning about my special abilities were definitely more fun than academics! Once I stepped into the class, feeling excited, Jackson came into my line of vision. Many other Mysticians were there too. Just then, Jackson pointed to the top. I looked up. At that split second, a pail of icy water spilled onto my head, sending chills down my spine. WTF!!!! OMG THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING!!! The whole class erupted with laugher... Including Jackson.

"That's how I have decided to welcome new Mysticians this year. Thanks to my fabulous idea." Jackson smirked.

Shocked and angered, I screamed," JACKSON AGRIZON, YOU RETARD! YOU'LL REGRET IT!!!"

With that, I dashed to the toilet. It was only the first day of school and I had been humiliated by my "crush"!!! Trying to clean myself up, Mdm Roziana came into the washroom. "Sorry dear, I have heard about it. Jackson is an infamous bully who has been playing pranks with new Mysticians ever since he came. I have some clothes that can probably fit you. Here."

I took the clothes and chose a light pink knotted top together with white shorts. After thanking Mdm Roziana, I changed, took a few breaths, and quietly slipped to class without anyone noticing.

"It's nice to have you back, Jewel. Jackson is currently in the principal's office. You need not worry about being embarrassed. Everyone had been pranked before. Cheer up okay?"

"Okay..."

Still feeling the flame of anger in me, a devious plan slowly formed in my head...
