' Just calm down' i tell myself, but i can't calm down because if he knows then other people could know too. Oh shit! What am i going to do? All of a sudden I felt
someone grab by the shoulders and start shaking me.
"Hey what's wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost."
"W-What do you mean you know?" I stutter
" Um look i was just kidding. I was just saying that because i wanted to see how you would react. Jeez if i had known you would act this way , i swear i wouldn't have done it.' he says exasperated
Oh thank God he doesn't know. He was just kidding. I felt a wave of relief wash over me. Gosh he probably thinks i'm crazy now. Great just what i need.
" So why did you act that way when i said that?" he asks
Crap! "Um no reason?" i say to him although it sounds like i'm asking him a question.
"Are you sure, because it looked like you were scared shitless" he says the tone of his voice insinuating that he didn't really believe my response earlier.
" Yeah i'm fine i was just a little freaked out at the thought that you knew me and i didn't have a clue who you were. You know you would have been scared too if you thought you had a stalker " I say smiling trying to act all cheerful so he doesn't ask anymore questions.
H e smiles and says " Yeah i guess you're right. Well we got off on the wrong foot so lets start over. okay?" he asks
" Sure" i say beaming at him
" My name is dylan Waters. What's yours?"
I mentally laugh out of relief. I'm glad he believes me or atleast that's what it looks like.
" My name is Jade Acuna and it's a pleasure meeting you Dylan" i say politely and formally
"Well Jade you have a very pretty name" he says staring at my face intently
I don't know what to say so i just mutter " Uh thanks" blushing all the while. I want to get the attention off of me so i sart asking him questions.
" So are you new to this school? Because i haven't seen you around here before"
" Yeah i just moved here yesterday."
" Oh so why'd you move? I ask " I mean you don't have to answer me if it's personal because trust me i know all about personal questions" i ramble not being able to stop myself. I really hope he doesn't think i'm nosy.
" No it's okay its not really a personal question. I guess we moved because my parents thought our old house to be to small. Nothing really special." he says chuckling.
" We?" i ask
" Oh yeah my parents and my younger brother and sister."
I feel a pang of jealousy shoot through my body for the second time today, but for a completely different reason. He seems happy and he has what I'll never
have. A family. Siblings. People who love you and you can talk to whenever you're feeling sad. well i guess we all can't be born lucky.
" Hey are you okay? You kind of just spaced out there for a minute.' he syas sounding concerned.
" I'm fine I was"- I was cut off by the bell signaling the nd of the lunch period.
" Oh well it looks like lunch times up" he says stating the obvious.
" Yeah" i reply although he wasn't asking me a question.
I start walking away from him without saying goodbye.
" Hey wait up" I hear him say sounding close behind me.
I turn around to find myself very close to his face. Wow he really was handsome to bad he'd probably never go for a girl like me because even though i was
kinda pretty , i just never attracted boyfriend material guys.
" I was just um... wondering if i could walk you to your next class" he says blushing lightly and his warm sweet breath makes my knees go weak.
Wait why'd he blush? 'Maybe he likes ou" my inner voice tells me. Yeah right i say to myself, but deep down inside for some reason i want it to be true.
" Sure I'd like that." i say smiling at him
"Oay cool" he says sounding nervous
As we start walking there's an awkward silence between us and i decide to break it.
"So um.. what's your next class?" i ask him not being able to think of a better question
" Um hold on" he says pulling out a paper from his backpack " Oh i have History in room six"
"Oh thats tobad. I have History too, but in room seven." i say
" Aww you wanted me to be in your class" he says
" Um i just didn't want you to feel .." uh what was i going to say again. It's really hard to concentrate with him looking at me that way " you know uh alone" i say sounding like a complete idiot although i meant what i said because i knew exactly how it felt to have no one to talk to.
" Oh" he says sounding disappointed " You don't have to worry about that. I actually met this really cool guy yesterday. We actually have a lot in common" he says
" Okay that's good then, but from the way you sounded talking about him i would've said that you were gay" i replied jokingly ( A/N: I have nothing against gay people. In fact i actually wished i had a gay best friend.)
" I am not gay" he says sounding offended
I know he's not but i liked teasing him. "Okay sure whatever you say Dylan. It's not like i'm gonna judge you or anything" i say
" I'm ser"- he starts to say before i cut him off.
"Sorry to interrupt you defending your sexuality, but we're at the classrooms now and if we don't go in now we're are definitely going to be late"
" Yeah i suppose you're right, but this conversation is not even close to being finished" he grumbles
i laugh and say" Bye"
I walk into my classroom and once again doze off and before i know it the bell rings. I pack my stuff into my backpack and walk through the doors.. As i'm
walking to my next class that i'm dreading going to because Luke is in it, i hear Dylan calling my name. I turn around to face him and see Luke standing
beside him.
'" Hey Jade this is that guy i was talking about" he says
I'm to shocked to even say anything so i just walk past him angd go into the classroom. I choose a seat in the back once again and stare at the board. Great
the new guy is friends with my EX-best friend. This is just wonderful. Note the sarcasm.Well I can still talk to Dylan without paying attention to Luke. Suddenly
the doors open and in walks Dylan and Luke. They both take a seat on either side of me. I just continue to ignore them and am grateful when class starts.
The minutes tick by and finally when i think that i can't take it anymore the class class ends.
I start getting up when Luke leans towards me and whispers in my ear
" We need to talk"
