Romance in Paradise

(4) Afterwards

Hey Merciren,
I know you don't think of me the way I do. I just wanted to help you out. I want to know that you are truly safe and well. You mean a lot to me even if we don't talk. You think of yourself as an out cast but it's adorable how you view yourself. In anyway I like you.
Sincerely,
<insert name here>

Merciren read and reread the note multiple times. He couldn't get what he was reading for it seemed untrue. He really hoped that it was Janice that wrote the note. The handwriting didn't even look like hers at all. He needed to figure out who had written this. He also had to thank Janice. In some way or the other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Janice sat in her sixth hour class and waited for the bell. She couldn't believe that Merciren didn't even thank her. He is inside himself more than anything. Maybe that's why he didn't respond. No, he was trying to get to me on purpose. In some way or form that is. Stumped Janice wanted to hear the thanks in his voice but she didn't want to see him right now. He had hurt her by saying nothing. She wondered if he thought it was her. He was one of the best people to identify a person handwriting to the person. Useful for Mr. Nelcer. He was the English teacher. Her favorite class. Favorite because of Merciren. People noticed that she was moping but she just ignored them. Merciren was one of the only ones who could make her smile even without him knowing. Stop thinking about him. He clearly doesn't like you in that way. Get over yourself and lug onward. There are more fish out there. Janice couldn't break the feeling she had for Merciren. Mrs. Hansan Harvey. Nice ring to it. Something told her they were ment to be. She was ripped from he thoughts as she heard a bang from out in the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bell was about to go off when Merciren heard a bang. It was a locker. A teacher to be exact. He had stayed in the bathroom for about thirty minutes before leaving. He just started to wander the halls. He didn't know what the teacher was doing or who she was. The teacher looked up and spotted Merciren. The teacher just looked. Didn't say a thing. Merciren walked up to her.

"Is everything alright," asked Merciren quietly.

"Why, yes its just some students like to wander and cause trouble. I had heard there was a boy wandering."

"Yeah that would be me. I really don't want to go to class."

"Want to tell me and since I can see your not causing trouble, I won't write you up."

"Promise not to tell anyone."

"Unless it's bad enough to be nessacery to tell someone I won't."

"Thank you. Now where to start. Let's start at the first time I saw the girl I like."

"Oh, so it's a girl that's been your problem."

"Yeah, I think I hurt her a little. She gave me a note and I didn't even thank her."

"Oh, well want to come to my office and talk about it."

"That would be nice."

Score I get out of two classes after all today.
