Dranias

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 :

It was 8pm and neither dad or mum was around. Welcome to my life, people. My hands were itching to contact him. It was a tug of war between my heart and my brain. My brain was telling me to wait until at least tomorrow and my heart screamed Go Get Him. I had nothing else to do and I was feeling dead lonely. I grabbed my iPhone and typed in his number... He picked up. Amazingly he did. My heart was about to burst of anxiety. He said hello.

"Hi..? Uhm, Mike?"

"Yeah? Is this Anna?"

I cringed, "Yes. This is Her Royal Highness Princess Amelia Sienna Dranias.", jokingly so that it didn't sound so serious.

"Well forgive me, Princess, what do I owe you of this phone call ?"

"I.. I wanna say sorry for what I did earlier, you drove off so fast I swear you could beat one of those Formula One drivers in an instant."

He laughed, "I was too overwhelmed for that kiss you gave me. I didn't know what to do and I was really shy. I'm sorry you thought of me differently."

"What?! You gotta be kidding me.", I laughed it out, "I thought you were one of those boys who had girls worshiping them like a boy band?".

Ladies and gentlemen, the flirting game begins.

"No. That’s so not the type of guy I am. I'm one of those people who are too afraid to get attached to someone because I can't handle the pain of heartbreaks."

I remained silent. I never thought that he would be this fragile.

"Anna?"

"Yes?"

"Let’s talk about something else..."

We continued on talking, small talk for hours until my parents were homed which was forty minutes past midnight. I never knew that a guy who seemed so emotionless, pretty much like a living zombie, could be this sweet and fragile. That’s why they said midnight conversation meant everything. He asked me to accompany him to the music shop after school on Friday. I agreed. I was really intoxicated with his presence. I needed daily doses of him to continue on living. Even if we didn’t have anything that’s official or anything... yet.

The sun greeted me with a kiss of light ray on my cheeks. I prepared myself for school as I normally would. I was eager to meet him at school.

I arrived at school early this time in hope of having a short conversation with Mike before class started. I waited and waited and the school bell rang. He was nowhere to be found. I was devastated. My thoughts wandered off thinking on what happened to him.

A hand smacked my table, it was Mr Parker.

“Anna, have you been paying attention to what I’ve been saying?”

His eyebrows furrowed.

 “Yeah, of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” I laughed nervously.

“Be sure to stay focused when I’m teaching. You won’t be getting an A if you don’t.”

I nodded.

.................

It was lunchtime and I sat alone at a remote table in the cafeteria. Suddenly a voice spoke to me.

“Hi, I’m Jillian. You’re new here right?” she gave me an innocent smile.

“Oh hi ! Yeah I am. My name is Anna. Nice to meet you”
