Destined

Chapter 6

Thanks to @liyanga_the_bookworm for the comments, much appreciated. Would  try to write in just the past tense.

School, was really great that day. It's been a week since that encounter with Tamara and Josh and I were closer than ever. We talked doing lessons (we had every lesson together), even when we aren't sitting next to each other, we always passed notes and we got detention for it. We were in maths when this happened. He passed me a note five minutes left of the lesson because we were done with the classwork, when Mr Stevens sported us. He came right up to me and grabbed the paper away from my hands and read it out loud.

"Have I told you how beautiful you look today" He read off the paper, today I had made extra efort to look good and I had little makeup on. "You are properly going to be blushing when you read this and have I also told you look cute when you blush and I love it when you blush because of me" He finished. As he guessed, I blushed. Everyone was looking at me, girls with jealous eyes, boys with curious eyes and I lowered my head to the table- embrassed. "Well you can tell how wonderful she looks in detention"

I had never been to detention but I had to say, it was better than I thought it would be. the teacher wasn't really paying attention to us, so we spent our hour in detention talking and playing charades. At the end he asked if I wanted to go to the park and I said yes.

We continued our conversation in the park, I told him about my parent's death, my aunty and pretty much everything about me. I found that I was very comfortable around him and I felt I could tell him anything. It was going so well when all of a sudden he asked

"How many boys have you been out with?"

"Hmmm none" I replied taken aback by his question.

"Why not?"

"No one has really asked me out"

"Well they are crazy" He whispered. I looked down to my hands, while blushing. He lifted my chin for my to look at him and we sat there looking at each others eyes. I stared at his magnificent golden eyes as he leaned towards me. Was he going to kiss me? I panicked, so I broke eye contact and cleared my throat.

"So do you have any ex-girlfriends?" I asked trying to clear the atmosphere. Something seemed to snap in him because he quickly got up.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"Nothing... I just remebered that I have to be somewhere" He said as he rushed away. What the hell just happened? If he didn't want to talk about his previous relationship, he could have just said. Maybe he didn't want to scare me beacause he has dated lots of girls. As soon as I thought that, I realised it might just be true. I didn't really know him that much except the basic facts about his family that he told me. As I tthought of it over and over I started to have doubts about us. If there even is a us. I mean boys as hot as he is are usually players and they use and dump you after they have gotten what they wanted. I mean, I have no previous experience but through observing Wendy's "relationships" and hearing things from around school, I knew about it. What if Josh was like that? He doesn't raely seem like that kind of person but why did he leave like that?

My phone beeping snapped my from my thoughts, I looked at my watch and realised it was 7 already, I quickly grapped my bag from the bench and walked out of the park. That's when I heard footsteps behind me. If I turned around, I wouldn't see anyone and it continued like that until I was by my doorstep when I heard my name. There was still no one there, I actually started to feel really scared because Jessica isn't back yet.

Someone follwed me, that was what i concluded as I drifted off to sleep.
