I stared at the figure in front of me as I walked down the hall. I began to feel nauseous as I stared at his broad back. I got this feeling every time I would see him, even though every male in this school wore the same uniform my eyes would still be drawn to him. I didn't even know his name nor what he looked like. All I knew was that I was attracted to him.......why?....Why was I attracted to someone I never even met?
As I grew closer to the one who made my heart race, a burning feeling grew in my chest and I felt as if something was stuck in my throat. I gasped and slowed down as I grabbed my throat and took a deep breath. The more I grew closer to him the more nauseous I get. I took deep breaths before a friends voice sounded from behind me.
"Is everything okay?"
I felt relieved to see it was only Garroth. I swallowed deeply before speaking, "Yeah...everything is fine."
My voice was weak and it was obvious I was lying. Garroth looked worried but didn't press any farther into the issue. We walked in silence to our classes. I sat in my seat before the bell rang. Shortly after, the teacher entered the room.
"Today we are going to have a seat change." The teacher spoke.
I groaned internally. I hate seat changes. Always having to switch my neighbors in the other seats. The teacher began assigning new seats until he reached my name. "Aphmau," He spoke, "You will be seated by the third window."
I nodded and gathered my stuff from my desk and moved to my new seat. The teacher began talking again, "Aaron, I want you to sit in the seat in front of Aphmau's."
I began to wonder who this 'Aaron' was when my eyes landed on the one who stood up. Aaron.....the one who makes me feel this burning pain in my chest....he's the one I'm attracted to....He gathered his stuff and brought it to the new assigned desk in front of mine.
No, no, this can't be happening. I thought to myself. If he's here in front of me like this how am I supposed to focus? I watched his back as he sat down. Something grew in my throat as that feeling came back. He was right in front of me now but seemed so far away. He probably doesn't even know I exist but I still had these painful feelings. I suddenly covered my mouth as something slipped out my lips.
I was surprised at the thing in my palm....it was a flower petal. A red, thin flower petal. I swallowed as I felt something come up my throat faster. I coughed and gaged, quickly standing up from my seat.
"Aphmau! Sit down!" The teacher said angrily as I interrupted his lesson.
I covered my mouth and grabbed my throat as more flower petals seeped from my lips and into my palms. It was only one to two at a time but I felt worse. I began to taste the metallic taste of blood as I rushed out of the classroom ignoring the teacher. Luckily, because of it being first period, everyone was in class and nobody but me ran down the empty, brightly lit hallway of the school.
I ran all the way to the girls bathroom before slamming the door behind me and locking it. I gaged and began to hack and cough as more flower petals fell from my mouth. Soon after what seemed like forever the nauseousness left me and I no longer had the strange feeling in my throat. Tears slipped down my cheeks as I gasped for air and sat on my knees. The floor was cold but felt good against my palms as I stared at the petals below me. As I breathed heavily, something dripped down my lips and slid down my chin.
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. My eyes widened as I saw the smeared blood on the back of my hand.....what exactly is going on?
