In a Heartbeat

Chapter 4

Sherwin's POV

Finally it was second block, art. My favorite subject from last year. There will probably be new people this year too, hopefully one will actually talk to me. Ms. Claywell walked up to the board at the front of the classroom. "Goodmorning class! There are some new students this year, so let's let them introduce themselves." Then a random girl in the group of 3 new students walks up to the front of the classroom. "Hi! I'm Kailen and my mom is friends with the mayor. She has a really good job and gets a lot of money." She said. "Ugh" I said to myself. She one of those girls that likes to show off her money and has obviously fake blonde hair... I already don't like her.

Then the next one comes up. "H...hi. I'm, uh Logan. I like to draw." He said with an obvious fake smile. "He's not bad" I said to myself. "Maybe I'll talk to him later...or not..."

Then the last one came up. "Oh no..." I said with an obvious blush. "Hi! My name is Johnathan. I really enjoy reading and I play lot's of sports." He said with a huge smile. Then he looked right at me and waved...HE WAVED!!!! My face went completely red and I froze. He just chuckled and looked away. Then I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding. 

"Ok, Kailen you can sit next to... let's see... Bryson, please." Ms. Claywell said with a bright smile. Kailen slowly walked away and sat next to Bryson. "Logan, you can sit next to Lily, and Jonathan you can sit next to Sherwin." Once again that was my cue to freeze and my face to go red. He quickly ran over to the seat next to me and sat down. 

"Ok class! Let's start with..." Ms. Claywell began. "Claywell, I'm gonna need you for this block." Said principle Mc'call. "Oh, yes sir! Ok nevermind, you guys can have free time while I'm gone, I guess..." she said walking away.

Instantly, I got out my sketchbook and started drawing. I also got out m phone and put in earbuds and listened to music while I drew. I didn't really pay attention to what I was drawing, I just drew... then I felt someone poke my shoulder. I look over and it's Jonathan. Once again my face went completely red. I took out my earbuds. "Y...Yeah?" I said nervously and quiet. 

"Oh, it's just....it's really good..." he said pointing at my sketchbook. I look down and it's Jonathan, wearing a flower crown. My face goes even more red, if that's even possible. "Oh, I...It's nothing...." I said quickly shutting my book and shoving it in bag.

Then I feel him grab my hand. "It's ok. You seem nervous and tense... just chill out a bit. Why are you so nervous? It's just me!" He said to me. "Wow. He's talking to me!! " I thought. "Oh...sorry....um..." I just tried to start a conversation ok? This is why I don't talk to people. "Have you ever talked to anyone before?" he asked with a serious face. "Is it that obvious?" "Yeah, it really is... don't you talk to your friends?" he asked. I just looked down ashamed. "Wha... oh.....OHHH! Well, I'll be your friend if you want!" He said with a bright smile. 

I froze once again. "Come to my house 3:00. I'll show you how to talk to people...I think I worded that right ?" He said with a slight chuckle and he handed me a piece of paper with his number and address. I just sat there in awe with my jaw practically on the floor. "You may want to close your mouth before you start to drool." he whispered as the bell rang signaling fo everyone to leave to next block. "I just started the cutest ship ever." Ms. Claywell said to herself as she saw Sherwin watching Jonathan walk away. "DANG!! I AM GOOD!!" She whisper yelled to herself
