Notes (hiatus)

Chapter 1

I searched frantically for my notebooks, as I was planning to draw for awhile. But as I looked I couldn't find a single trace of where I left them. That's when I remembered and quickly ran back to the classroom, while saying 'I'll catch up' to my friends.

I ran through the halls and stopped at the doorway, where I stood to catch my breath. Then in the corner of my eye I saw a boy figure leaving, as if he was running late for a practice or something.

I walked to my desk, scooped up the books into my arms, and ran back to Willow and Hunter. As we ate our lunch we discussed about our latest projects and talked about Shakespeare. A few minutes had passed and I had finished my lunch and had to wait for them. As I waited for them, I pulled out my sketchbook and flipped through the pages until I landed on my latest drawing. A dragon "swimming" through the air, as I started to draw I noticed faddish writing on the dragon's wings.

Without thinking I turned the page to reveal a message.

Hey, sorry for writing in your sketchbook. Love the drawings, their co

"Co?" I thought, "Do you mean 'cool'?" I shook my head in confusion, sighed, and saw that it was actually the end of the note. It was as if he or she wanted to write more but couldn't.

I looked up and thought, "Should I write something down?" A few minutes later I made up my mind and started writing.

It's fine, but maybe you should have talked to me in person. I'm not completely mad, I'm just a smidge mad. I mean if someone saw 2 notebooks on the desk and chose the sketchbooks how would you feel? But you made up for it by saying my drawings were, (I'm guessing you meant) cool. But if you want to talk, we can talk tomorrow at lunch. If you're okay with that, that is. Hey can you te

"Hey!" Hunter said, making me jump, "Sorry." He said as he saw he scared me.

"It's fine." I said, looking up from my book.

"What ya drawing there? Isn't that your book for drawing?" He asked, emphasizing the words "drawing".

"I was - just - uhh - doodling song lyrics?" I said in a confused tone, "Yeah, doodling song lyrics."

"Oh really, now?" Hunter said suspiciously.

"Yeah, you know, All Time Low, Fall Out Boy, Nirvana, Arctic Monkey, all that snazz." I exclaimed "confidently".

"Let me see then." Hunter said as he tried to get a glimpse of what I was doing.

I panicked and quickly stood up making sure to hide my book while saying, "No!"

As I said this, Willow heard and quickly ran to us saying, "What's happening here?"

"I just wanted to see what Zadie was doing." Hunter said with his hand on the back of his head.

"Zadie, what are you drawing?" Willow asked me.

"Song lyrics. But I can't show you guys because it's a surprise." I whined.

"I mean, you could've told me it was a surprise. Plus I was only teasing you." Hunter said putting his hand on my shoulder.

All of a sudden Willow hits Hunter on the arm and said, "What's wrong with you?!"

Then out of nowhere Willow starts to laugh, setting off the laugh bomb. Which made me and Hunter laugh with her.

We all stopped laughing and Willow said, "We gotta go now."

Hunter continued, "You comin?"

"Obviously, I'll just catch up. I have something to do." I said.

"Okay, see ya later." Willow said who already started to walk off. But before she was out of sight she gave me a wave and Hunter started to run after Willow.

I sat back down and finished my note off. While walking back to class I bumped into Zane Watson.

"Do you need glasses or - ", I looked up from the ground and saw Zane, immediately I took back what I said, "Sorry, it was my fault I was busy - "

"No it's my fault, sorry." He said helping me up and handed me my books before he walked off.

'Wow' I thought. Was that really Zane? I haven't heard him say 'sorry' in awhile.

Just as I said, or thought this the bell rang and before I knew it I was running.

While waiting for the lesson to be over I continued my dragon sketch. Waiting and somehow thinking about Zane.
