Sera / Julian / Other

Julian was fighting to stay awake in a very boring Chemistry lesson. Chemistry was a good subject but covalent bonding was just dull. Why couldn't it be something like the halogens? His Chemistry muttered a lot and he swore that she had a strong disliking for him. After all, hate is a strong word. Julian flipped the pages of his book and started to daydream, unintentionally of course. 

He started to daydream about Cinnamon. 

'Well, Sera.' he thought.

He tried to put a face to the name and voice. Did she wear glasses or didn't she? Did she have long hair or short hair? What colour were her eyes? Julian thought about this with huge intensity. He decided, out of the blue, that she had medium length black or dark brown hair with brown eyes. He knew that she was 5'4" and probably liked wearing a lot of shirts. Her music taste told him too much. He softly smiled as he thought and conjured up his mind's idea of Cinnamon. He wondered whether she liked having her hair down or up. Probably up in a bun or a plait. Maybe even a ponytail. 

He thought about how they met. A dare. Felix dared him to prank call a random number and ask for an Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte. It wasn't his.. ok maybe it was his fault that he obsessed over that drink. Yes, yes Starbucks was heavily Tumblr-ised and "white girl" stuff but screw stereotypes and social norms. He was in love with it's cinnamon-y taste and whipped cream sweetness. 

He felt someone calling him.

"Julian!" his teacher shouted.

He snapped out of his reverie and looked at his teacher.

"Julian, have you been daydreaming?" she asked, her face scowling.

"Uh well. No."

"Answer the question then."

"Could you repeat it?"

"It's GCSE basics Julian. I asked why giant covalent structures cannot conduct electricity." she said darkly.

Even for a teacher, she was scary. Who even knew how intense her hate was for him.

"Well, giant covalent Structures cannot conduct electricity due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers." he said thankfully remembering that. Just because his teacher hated him didn't mean that he didn't put any effort into learning.

She nodded surprised. 

'Hah!' he thought.

She continued with the lesson and Julian continued to listen. That was a close slip up. He sighed and listened to covalent and ionic bonds and almost fell asleep however Felix keep on jabbing him in the ribs with his elbow when he almost nodded off.

☕

It was his first break and Julian was sitting at the table of a restaurant feeling droopy. Felix had gone to the toilet and he was tired because he couldn't sleep last night, like any other night, but last night was intense. He had thoughts that made him not want to fall asleep. He was looking through his email when he got a call.

Cinnamon.

"HELLO CINNAMON!" 

"YO JULESY! WADDUP JUJU?"

"The ceiling."

"HAHAHA. Not funny."

"Oh really? I can hear you laughing."
