Romance in Paradise

(6) Hope and Thanks

Merciren walked into third hour. Only to find the Janice wasn't there.
Strange she's always in here by the time I am. He wondered what she could be doing. He sat down in a different seat. They had free seating. It was closer to the front. Nobody questioned the choice. Everyone was quite surprised by it actually. The looks and faces he got proved that. Everyone had shown their acknowledgement to Janice being gone. The bell rang still no sign of Janice. Merciren sat and waited for her to appear. She never did. The bell to end class rang and she wasn't there at all. Merciren stayed after class.

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

Janice sat in the counselors office. She was called down there for some reason. She would miss English not that she cared anymore at this point. Merciren hurt her and broke her. She was glad to not be in that class today. Her mind now on what the consumer was saying.

"...spilled everything. He seemed to care. That's the reason I called you down here. He doesn't really know how to talk to you."

"Oh okay," knowing less than half of what she was just told. Who doesn't know how to talk to me and it's a guy. She was now beginning to feel excitement again. She couldn't help it. She got up from the chair and walked out. The bell was about to ring. She figured she might as well go grab what she had missed.

"Merciren, I wish I could help but I really can't. You have to figure that out on your own. I don't control her," said Mrs. Framel the English sub.

"Still I want to say how I feel about her to her face just I can't."

"You're just going to have to figure this out on your own. Sorry."

"It's fine and thanks for the he...,"

Janice then walked in. She is fine. Thank the fucking Lord. He couldn't help but be glad that she was safe. He walked away. Just before he left he said something. Something that he would have no clue the impact.

"Thanks for the other day Janice. 'Preciate it."

He then walked off. He was glad he was able to at least say that to her. He was nervous. She was just so damn hot. He wanted her to be his.

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

Janice walked out of her English classroom three minutes after Merciren did. She felt better knowing that he had said thanks. She felt restored. She felt normal again. Scared still. Yes. Wanting Merciren. Yes. She would never get to hear the joy in his voice until he was hers. Dippy your out of his league. You know that you stupid little ass bitch. Your not even that pretty. Why do you expect so much? Janice thought about it. She knew she had to do something. She would get her number to him someway or another. Maybe. So many guys at this school. Only he was right for her. She hoped she was for him.
