Living reality

Chapter 8- What party?

As soon as me and Imogen walked into tutor, I could tell something was up. Everyone kept looking at me and Imogen and smiling. It was really weird. I glanced at Imogen who had gone to sit on top of Wills desk. She was smiling and flirting and a group of people had gathered around her.

I walked over to the group and as soon as I was next to them, the whole group stopped talking and stared at me. Imogen smiled at me and quietly ushered them away.

"Hiya Mia."

I narrowed my eyes and looked at her.

"What's going on Imo??"

She crossed her arms and looked up at me.

"Nothing's going on. Why would you think that?"

I frowned at her.

"Imo you are the worst liar I have ever met. I can always tell when something's going on. You have to tell me now!"

She just smiled and didn't say anything. I gave up and turned around. Nothing I could say would make her tell me and I knew that.

The rest of the day started to annoy me. Everywhere I went there were small groups of people having whispered conversations that would cease when I drew near. I got into a habit of just ignoring everyone and storming off.

The lunch bell rang and I stormed off towards the library. Hopefully there wouldn't be a bunch of people whispering in front of me. It's really got on my nerves today. I found an empty table at the back of the library and plugged in my headphones. Resting my head against the wall, I closed my eyes. To be honest I hadn't got much sleep last night, I was up thinking about Imogen and Will. I don't know why though, its not like I like him like that... I started to doze off.

5 minutes later, I jumped as the door slammed. As if he'd been reading my mind, in sauntered Will with his arms full of books. He walked over to the library counter and dumped them on top. He looked around quickly and noticed me sitting in the corner. He smirked and started to walk towards me. My heart jumped. I must look a mess at the moment, I've been lying on my hand so my cheek must be bright red. He pulled out his phone and and smiled at me. I looked up confused. What was he doing?? Just as I opened my mouth to ask, he snapped a picture of me and laughed. I frowned and went to snatch his phone. I forgot I had my headphones in and managed to snap them in the process of lunging forward.

"Ah shiiittt! My last bloody pair of headphones-gone! Look what you made me do Will!!!"

He quickly lost his smile and started to look very guilty.

"I'm so sorry Mia. I didn't mean for that to happen."

He unzipped his bag and handed me a pair of headphones.

"Here, have mine! I'm so sorry!"

I was shocked and stood there with the headphones in my hand. He did look genuinely sorry. I'd never seen him like this. It was kinda weird actually.

"I... um...its fine really."

I started to hand them back but he took hold of my hand and gently curled my fingers into my palm. He spoke softly.

"No, its fine, you can have them. I have other pairs at home, I promise."

I smiled and looked down at my hand. One of the hottest guys at school, and he turns out to be one of the nicest.

"Am I?? That's nice aha."

I looked up startled. Had I said that out loud?? I started to blush.

"Don't be embarrassed about it."

He lifted my chin with his finger.

"You're cute when you blush, has anyone said that before??"

I chuckled.

"What??"

I looked at him.

"Nothing. Its just, no one has said that to me before and no one who is sane would."

He frowned.

"Why would you say that??"

"Because it's true! No one would."

He smiled at me and pulled me towards him.

"Well, I'll be insane and say it and be the first one to say that then, shall I??"

He bent down slowly and I found my eyes fluttering closed. He lent towards my ear and whispered.

"And maybe I'll be the first to say many more things to you...."

He stood up and winked at me.

"We should catch up some time yeah?"

I smiled and bent down to grab my bag.

"Sure, that would be cool."

He gave a heart starting smile and blew me a kiss. Heading towards the door, he stopped and turned his head.

"I'll be looking forward to it then."

I laughed and followed him out.

Fifth period was PDC. I shrugged off my coat and dumped my bag on the table. I dragged out the chair and slumped down into it. PDC is always the longest most boring subject at school especially with Mr Willis, but today it felt different. Before I could figure out what was feeling different, the door opened and there in the doorway, instead of old Mr Willis, stood a young male teacher who looked about 23.

Dani who was sitting on a front desk, stopped texting on her phone, looked up and her mouth dropped.
