Chapter 3:

Meloney:

The rest of the class period passed by uneventfully. After Liams introduction, the teacher silenced us, and we were put to work, but I could still feel his burning gaze on the side of my head. I wanted to look over, but I knew if I did I would get lost in his chocolate eyes, and look like a complete idiot, just staring at him.

When I heard the familiar ring, signaling the end of class, I bolted out the door, getting as far as I could from Liam. He was really nice and everything, he just gave me feelings that I weren't used too, which made me nervous and.. scared.

"Mels!" I heard Elly yell from somewhere in the hall. I came to a stop and waited patiently on the side of the hall, away from passing students. "Hey.." She said to me, breathing heavy. "You ok?" I asked. "Yeah, just nearly got knocked over trying to push my way through the halls." She replied. "Oh.." I whispered. We stood in silence, I took the time to admire her long black hair that was perfectly straight. And her bright blue eyes that were always filled with humor. "Where are your books?" She finally said, breaking our silence. My eyes grew wide in an instant. Crap. I was completely, utterly, no denying, stupid. Before I could answer, the warning bell sounded, signaling 1 minute was left before we would be late. "Well, I have to get to class." She said, starting to walk off. I nodded and headed towards my class, I would have to borrow someones pen and paper, and just get my books after class.

I took my seat in the back, away from everybody, and rested my head on the desk. I. Am. So. Stupid. I told myself. I was still zoned out when I heard a 'Thud.' I looked up, and for the third time today, was met with those chocolate eyes. "Forgot something?" He asked, with a hint of humor. I looked down, and there were my books. "Thanks..." I whispered. He didn't say anything, just sat down at the desk next to me.

The next 40 minutes passed by fairly quickly, and before I knew it, the bell had rung. I heard Liam clear his throat beside me, "Yes?" I asked, ready to go to lunch. "Well.. I.. wanted to know if you wanted to hang out this weekend.. like a movie or something?" I was definitely not going anywhere alone with him, or any other man for that matter. "Uh.. I actually have plans." I said, a little too quickly. Disappointment and rejection flashed across his eyes, but was quickly covered up with a small smile. "Well maybe some other time?" He questioned. I just nodded my head, and went on my way to lunch.

I felt bad. Really bad. I couldn't even eat my food, I was so disgusted with myself. But what bothered me more was why? Why did I feel like a complete jerk, just for saying I had plans. I've done it before, Elly wanted to hang out and I wanted to stay at home, so I just told her I had plans with my Aunt. I didn't feel like a total jerk, I mean sure, I felt bad about lying to my friend, but the feeling I was having during lunch was more like really bad depression.

The rest of the school day passed with no distractions, and no sign of Liam, he probably had a class in a different wing, which was kind of a disappointment. I know it's weird to say but.. I missed Liam, even though I've known him for a couple hours. I had this strange feeling about him, that he would protect me, and I could just be with him, and feel normal. Yep. I'm definitely crazy now.
