Chapter 7: I walk, breath, feel, I'm real

Chapter 7:

I walk, breath, feel, I'm real

I can't stop thinking of him.

Even in first period my mind travels elsewhere.

We returned from the beach house yesterday just in time for school and what sucks about it is that I don't see my mate half the day since he's in year twelve and I'm in year ten.

"Miss Hart?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Mr. Spooner who was giving me a questioning glare. "Yes" I replied trying to sound as much interested in the class as possible but we all know I'm not, Archer is what's interesting for me right now.

"Can you answer the question please" my eyes widened and I tried to remember the question he asked but it didn't register in my brain.

I really need to work on focusing more in class because in going to fail if I don't, not that I can actually fail because I'm the smartest kid in class but you get my point.

"Um...could you repeat the question, please?" I asked and he shook his head disappointed.

"Miss Hart, you will stay here after class, we need to have a talk" he said and I nodded distractedly.

A few minutes later I was gone again, lost in my own mind like a giant maze that I can't escape. I was so out of it that I didn't even hear the bell ring.

I was staring at the wall as Mr. Spooner called for me but I didn't get up and as soon as his dark hair popped in the room I shot up and ran in his arms.

"Hey Cupcake, you missed me?" He asked and I nodded staring at his perfect face that I fell deeply in love with.

"See, that's the problem" Mr. Spooner said but I wasn't paying any attention to him, all that mattered to me was this perfect creation in front of me.

"Aw, it's okay Mr. Spooner, she's in love with me and I with her, it's only natural she's distracted" Archer's voice was the one of a melody, I melted in his arms right at that moment, I gazed into his beautiful blue orbs and found myself drowning in its sea.

"I'm not going to argue with you, Archer, but just remember she will fail if she doesn't focus in class, the subjects are getting harder and complicated, she needs to listen"

To me all I heard was "blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blaaaaah!" Yeah I think I'm turning into mush here.

"Yeah, yeah, don't you worry Mr. Spooner Lexi is a wise girl and a nerd she will never fail a test" Archer is as cool as a cucumber, he didn't worry about anything.

"Alright Cupcake, come on lets get you to your next class" he opened the door and we walked out.

We walked hand in hand to my locker and I unlocked it grabbing my stuff for my next class which is Math.

"Alright babe, I'll see you later" he said just as Beth popped in the picture with Jason.

He kissed my lips and let them linger seconds longer before pulling away but I never want them to pull away, my heart hurts whenever they do.

"See you soon" and with that he walked away. I rushed to talk to Beth.

"I need your help" I implored as I placed my hands on her shoulders desperately.

"What is it?" She asked worried and I took deep breaths trying to calm myself as I felt Archer walk further from me.

"I need to stop thinking of Archer all the time, how do you do it around Jason?" I asked and I felt a tear drop from my eyes.
