Social studies class end as normal. With tons of notes. But on the contrary it's for my own sake right???? Yeah totally. History and maths period went by smoothly too. Here comes lunch time. I have been avoiding Jay all morning and although we had maths together I still try to ignore him yeah you heard right Try.. He kept nudging me in the side causing me to wiggle like worm. Still I didn't even glimpse his way. It was hard though but let's just say those words from that girl’s mouth got to me... May be if we didn't kiss then I wouldn't feel so immature about it... But what did I expect though a single hot boy walking on campus waiting for me... Hell no.. I know I should have stopped the kiss instead of encouraging it but who am I to blame he kiss me first I was just being obedient (crazy). Plus his lips are so attractive and he kisses OMG perfectly breath taking... I was stupid though I shouldn't let it happen.
But how long can I ditch him for we eat at the same table, and if I sit at a next table then the others would question it. What would I tell them? That I am mad at Jay for having a girlfriend while kissing me???? So not...so lunch time came I still don't have a plan yet but I guess I have to just go with the flow right. As usual I met sash at my locker. "Hey girly" I greeted. "Sup with the long face" she asks. Should I tell her my thoughts ask nae…at least not yet...
"Nothing just not feeling too well" she eyed me with pity which I hate but this is my friend right. I shot her a smile which is my specialty "I will be fine it's just you know girl stuff.
"Oh get well soon cause I don't like you like this” she said with a smile. "Come on let’s get lunch.
We got lunch and we were on our way to our usual table I had to hold my tray in my left hand due to the pain in my right hand from you know the tracks. Hope no one notice though.  We were close by the table and as usual I place my tray beside Jay. I was about to sit down when a pain hit me in my stomach and everything went black.   
"What cause her to faint" I heard a faint familiar voice above me. I felt weak like all my blood has been suck from my body. I flick my eyes open but a ray of light hit me I quickly close back my eyes and waited for a while before I open them back, it took a while before my eyes could adjust to the light.
"Hnhm is all that came out of my mouth. I feel so weak. I search around the place with my eyes trying to locate where I am feeling hopeless I decide to give up then I saw Jay in a corner with his hand on his head. Huh he seems to be worried about me. Why is he here anyway don't he have a girlfriend to be with or something.
As if he had sense that I am awake he shot his head up and those crystal blue eyes got locked with mine. He instantly shot up and moves towards me not moving his eyes at all. Me on the other hand want to direct my eyes somewhere else but apparently  my mind think otherwise. As he approached the bed side he had a smile on his face. 
"Hey how are you sweet cheeks” his voice was soft and plastered with concerns.
"Am okay i guess “I said faintly " where am I " I asked him.

"Oh you’re still at school just in the sick bay, you passed out at lunch"
"Yeah I remember that part just wanted to know where I am, thanks ".
"So where is the nurse?" I asked trying to ease the awkwardness between us he was staring at me nonstop.
"She went to call your parents " he said and with that I instantly gather strength and hop off the bed and like flash I went in search for the nurse avoiding the shouts of Jay reminding me that am not well. Am not even sure how the nurse look but I guess anyone in full white uniform will do  right speaking of nurse I saw a lady coming from the principal office seems like that's the nurse. She look up and saw me she was shocked. " “Hey you are awake what are you doing out without my permission?" she ask with a frown.  By passing all her question I shot her mine." Have you call my parents as yet"
"No was about to why" she asked curious.
"Please don't call them am feeling much better " I said with one of my great convincing smile.
She looked at me weirdly wondering if she should listen to me or not. By that time Jay was right beside me. Seemingly that the nurse need more convincing I turn to her" I don't want my mom to worry she can't handle pressure please am fine, really am fine "I said genuinely to her. She took the cake and places the phone in her pocket.
"Alright let’s get you check up and ready for your last class then. Thank God my mom would freak out although it is nothing serious but minor things remind her of the accident and as much as I hate her for blaming me am the only piece of Chin she have so am a try and do my best to not let her go through that pain again.
The nurse head back to her office and Jay and I followed behind. Back at the sick bay the nurse gave me some pain killers and took my temperature she said I must eat as many fruits as possible in the future to avoid incidents like this.
Luckily Jay and I had literature together so we went to our lockers. From we left the nurses office we haven't spoken a word to each other. Now and again I would see him glancing at me when am not looking. We arrived at class just in time to hear the teacher instructing the students to get in pairs. Unfortunate for me I had to pair with Jay since we were the only two  left. As instructed by Ms Allen we took out our literature book-A world of Prose that we were currently using for the past week and we were to search for a story with mostly dialog so we could practice and in the next two weeks we should be able to perform it out for our monthly grade in front of the class
. I wasn't scared of acting in front of a crowd what I was worried about was how  I am going to do it with Jay when I have been trying to avoid him all day plus the fact that he have a girlfriend and the kiss was all I could think about. As usual we did as we were told. Jay dragged his desk close to mine. I left my book in my car so I had to use his which means I have to ask him for his...
"Hey Auum I left my book in the car so can we use yours" I ask in the nicest voice possible. He was taken a back at first he was staring at me like he was trying to figuring out something, realizing he was staring he reply "Yeah sure, here choose one for us something nice ".
"Okay" that's all I said.
Since I had read almost all the short story in the book it was easy for me to pick one. I pick one which I think was easy and to make it fair I showed it to him just to confirm if he like it too.  As expected he was okay with it. We read the passage together first then we try it separately taking on the characters role
Lucky for us the characters were a boy and a girl. we recited our  lines and we both came to the conclusion that we both should study it in the evenings. The bell rang and the teacher reminds us that we only have two weeks to complete the assignment. I hand Jay his book and pack my stuff and went towards the exit. He was taken aback by my actions but he didn't say anything he just stood there packing his stuff in deep thoughts I might add.

     JAY POV

Chinnaz was definitely ignoring me a mean was it the kiss. She fainted in the cafeteria and I catch her before she could hit the ground. She looked so pale. I was frighten I hurried her to the nurse.  I was so worried I have never been so worried about a girl in my life and now this new girl got me devastated. The nurse in form me that it's nothing major and my girl friend will be okay.  I didn't even bother to tell her she is not my girlfriend at least not yet. I like her a lot though but she is going through some stuff with her parents and I know she thinks she can handle it on her own but when I look in those Brown eyes I see a broken girl hiding behind her smile. The way she reacts when I told her that the nurse went to call her parents was enough proof that she doesn't get along well with her mom. She is avoiding me though I know it she basically ice me out in literature class thank God for that project because I know she probably wouldn't speak to me through the entire session. A mean I should be the one to be mad she left me at the beach and went away with that douche guy from West high a mean come she barely know the guy at least that's what Jessica said. I really need to talk to her though. Sigh. She left me in literature class and normally we would walk out together but I guess not today. I walk out behind her trying to catch up but she was too fast. I need to know what's going on. Determine to set things straight I went to her parking spot to my surprise her car wasn't there. Where did she go so fast? Frustrated I stand there scratching my head.
"Hey have you seen Chinnaz?"A familiar voice asks from behind.  I turn around to see her friend Sash looking worried as me.
"Not since she left literature class" I said looking less worried the last thing I want is for Sash  to find out that I have a huge crush on her friend.
"I wanted a ride but I guess she had to be somewhere else" Sash said "She didn't even bother to inform me what a friend " she sounded disappointed.
"Hey chill she is not really having a great day remember she fainted I guess she just need some space to clear her head" I defended her. But it's the truth she deserve some space.
"I think your right" Sash agreed. "Anyways am going to catch the bus see you tomorrow and If you see her tell her to call me, I need to know if she is okay " and with that she left. She seems like a really good friend though. After Sash left I decide to link my boys I think they have base ball practice since its Monday. Plus I need to clear my head this girl thing really got my mind like a bounce a bout. As expected the guys had practice. Not to interrupt I grab a bottle of water and head for the bench to watch the guys practice.  Base ball seems fun no wonder my brothers love it so much on like me I stick  to one sport only Soccer. After practice the guys and I went for juice then we head home.
