Shock Therapy

Chapter 4

Storm's P.O.V

I walked to 1st hour, pondering what was happening for the past week. Everyone is still talking about Belle's disappearance in 2nd hour a week ago. I mean, it's weird that she left out of the blue like that, but the teachers said that it's under control. Plus, I know that she's alright. She's strong. And nice...

and smart,

funny,

talented,

sweet,

beautiful,

extraordinary,

courageous,

shy,

and clumsy.

I wish I never broke up with her. Well I guess I could talk to her about it.. No! I can't, my parents will kill me, plus I need to focus on work. But I never do, i'm too distracted by staring.

At her.

I was in first hour, listening to the lesson. I don't watch, because i'm an auditory. I listen better. Then I heard a conversation."..She just walked past me, with her head up, proud and all. I think she may be on drugs, because she was never had confidence like that. Did you see her outfit, I bet she's just acting it out for attention. I mean she was never like that. Ever! Oh.. Wait, maybe she did. She did before Storm broke her heart, then she was in pieces, if only Storm knew how much damage he did.."

They turned to glare at me, Paige and Taylyn, and I had my head up when they mentioned me. Who did I break? What damage? Why would they talk about a person like that?

"Who were you guys talking about?" I asked, wondering who was the new-confidence in this school.

"Belle, of course! She came a bit late, but still got a lot of attention. She;s back, saying she came back from Los Angeles, in a Shock Therapy Home, an Asylum!I mean, it's the same thing right?"

Their perkiness is getting on my nerves, but I need to cooperate with them, they saw her today. Plus i can't be rude to them, you were raised better then that Storm. Ya.. Being raised.. I wish..

"Oh, and you should talk to her Storm, she might want youuu.." She gave me a wink while I groaned, and put my head back down. I just concentrated again, listening to the lesson.

The bell rang, and I ran out of class, waiting in the hallway. I walked to my locker, waiting for Belle to walk out of class. Did they just make that up? Is it a rumor? If it is, it's a sick joke. Just then, she walked out, causing me to drool.

she was wearing a purple crop-top, black high-waist shorts, with black and white converse. Her dark brown hair that used to be in a low pony-tail, is now loose in gentle, wavy, curls going down to her waist. Her blue eyes border-lined in black eye-liner. Her long eye-lashes brought out with mascara. She didn't need any blush, because her cheeks where naturally flushed. She had a golden, skinny chain, hanging from the top of her right ear, tied to the bottom of the same ear, clearly for show. As said, her head was held high, walking through the hallway, a slight smile on her face. Who is this person? This is not the Belle I knew a week ago.

Just then, her eyes turned on me. She didn't look away, confusion drawn on her face. She turned to Alexa, not taking her eyes off me. I couldn't look away either, stunned by her beauty.

Like always.

She turned back to me, then started walking. Towards me. I panicked mentally. what should I say? What would she say? Would she make fun of me? Of how ugly and fat I am? What if she's nice to me? What would I say? She stopped in front of me, two-feet away.

"Hi! I'm Belle. Are you new here? I could show you around if you'd like."

My heart stopped beating.
