Call Me Zero [Completed]

42: No, I'm not!

Avoiding Phillip for the rest of the week before winter break was not really the easiest thing in the world.

This was the only time that I was glad I didn't have any classes with him. I didn't want to see him even just for a little while. I was trying to make myself not feel what I thought I feel.

My head slowly slipped on my hand causing it to slowly slid down on my arm and to my elbow propped down on the table. In the end, my head was down on the desk and my arm became a pillow.

I knew trying to avoid him was not the best solution, but I just needed to do that. And besides, after that, it was gonna be our winter break. Maybe when I came back to school after that break, I wouldn't be so weird anymore and already had sorted out my feelings and thoughts.

Yeah, I just got everything figured out. I just needed to avoid Phillip for one more day and then I was free.

My head slowly lifted up and a big smile formed on my face. I finally had a plan with my life.

"What's wrong with you?" Eve asked from her desk behind me. I turned around to look at her and I noticed she looked concerned.

Alot of things are wrong with me.

"What do you mean?" I retorted.

Eve gave a shrug. "I don't know. First you looked like you were going to drown with how deep you were thinking. Then I thought you fell asleep. And then now you look. . .happy that I'm sure you're crazy."

I laughed at how she saw me. My best friend didn't even know what was going through my mind. I guess I was okay with that. It made me feel safe around her. I didn't want my emotions to be so close to the surface.

"Who wouldn't be happy? It's the last day before winter break. I wouldn't have to see your face everyday for two weeks." I joked, I thought she would laugh.

"I wouldn't be happy!" She exclaimed. "Our finals are coming up and we're all taking a vacation?! What is this school?"

I was taken aback. Of course she would react like this. I gave out a small sigh and my shoulders dropped. "Seriously Eve. We are so opposites I have no idea how we're still friends."

"You know what they say," Eve gave a smirk and wiggled her eyebrows at me, "Opposites attract."

Opposites attract.

"Please stop doing whatever you're doing with your face."

After that hour, I had to go through the hallway where Phillip's locker was. I was extra careful as I passed by, hiding and blending in with some groups of people I didn't even know went to this school.

Phillip was at his locker. His back was facing towards me that I was sure he wouldn't see me if I made a run for it. So I did and I survived. I didn't even see his face.

--------------

I didn't really have to do alot of avoiding that day. The only time I had to avoid him was at lunch but Princess appeared again and they ate lunch out. Where did she come from? I didn't see her for the past couple of days which was why Phillip ate with us again for those couple of days.

Today he wasn't here at lunch which made my life easier. Not.

Maven. I couldn't help but feel guilty about all this. He was right when he said I looked at Phillip differently. I didn't know it before but I felt it now. Which was why he said he wouldn't tie me down. He gave me a chance to get closer and closer with Phillip that now I just wished he didn't.
