Left Behind In Her Past

Chapter Five

Lilah Pov

I hate art class already. I can't even listen to my music. And then the teacher confiscates my headphones? What the hell. As I walked out of the classroom I feel someone gazing at me so I look over. It's a guy. A really cute one in fact but as soon as I looked at him he looked away and practically ran. He looked sort of familiar though. I can't put a name to his face. But I hope I can talk to him tomorrow.

I'm not used to this hot dreadful weather. I used to love it when I was younger but now the sun irritates me. I guess I just have to adjust to Arizona's weather since I did just move back. Ahh.. Arizona hasn't changed much since I've left. As I'm walking to the next class a guy bumps into me making me drop my books.

"Oh shit sorry!" He bent down and tried helping me pick my stuff up.

"It's fine." I look at the guy and then I realize it's the one from my art class! "Hey uh.. Aren't you in my art class?" He looks up from the paper on the ground and his eyes go wide.

"I have to go I'm going to be late to my next class! Again I'm sorry!" And I continue to pick up my stuff as I watch him run away..again.. Then I hear a voice from behind me and turn my head.

"Do you need help with that?"

"Oh this no no I'm fine it's okay but thanks."

"No let me help. Here." He handed me the rest of the remaining papers. "My name is Mason."

"Lilah, nice to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine" he smiled at me. "Well I should get going to my next class I'll see you around?"

"Yeah of course."

"Mind if I ask for your number?" He took out his phone and was waiting for me.

"Oh no um hold on okay (602)298-7892."

"Thanks. I'll text you later." He winked and walked away. I was 3 minutes late to my last class. Great. Just what I needed.

"Hello glad you could join us. Take a seat. What is your name deary?"

"Lilah. Lilah Avila."

"Okay class as I was saying we will be writing a lot in this class. An essay will be do every end of the week. You are also required to read and do a book report which will be due at the end of the month."

The English teacher kept rambling..so I looked around and saw her name on the board Ms. Langley hmm.. Unusual.. I kept looking around the room for something entertaining but couldn't.

"Care to pay attention deary?" I thought she was a nice teacher so I didn't give her attitude.

"My apologies."

"Thank you" she said with a smile. She was quite talk for a woman. Looked about 5'7". Had hair as white as snow and emerald green eyes. I looked up at the ceiling. Ugh I'm bored. Why is Arizona boring. It used to be so fun when I was young. I wonder if my house is still there maybe I could visit it... I think I'll go after class is over.

Five minutes later and the dismissal bell rang. Finally first day of schcool is over! I walked over to the north gate of the campus and started to walk home. Few minutes later I reached my house and opened the door.

"I'm home." No answer. Hmm..."grandma?"

"I'm in the kitchen sweetie."

"Okay um grandma can I go out and visit my old house? I just want to see if it's still there."
