Cinderella's Shoemaker

Chapter 5

My hands stroking over the blush pink suede as I patiently waited in front of Kyle's dorm. He came out wearing a burgundy beanie, ripped jeans, a black t-shirt and his beloved Timberlands. He scanned from head to toe.

"Isn't that skirt a little short?" He criticised.

"What are you talking about? This is what I always wear" I responded sassily.

"Whatever let's go to class" He said.

The classroom was filled with unenthusiastic students begging to escaping the chambers. Students grew weaker as time went by, the overdose of mathematics intoxicating them. My attention diverted from the screen to Kyle on my right. His round glasses rested lightly on his nose bridge, his eyes fixated on the projector screen. His hands diligently writing notes. I felt myself smiling as I continued gazing at him.

"What?" He asked

"I'm bored" I replied with panic.

He motioned for me look on my laptop screen.

'BAKA: Usually you are so focused in math, what happened to Miss Goody Two Shoes'

'PABO: Stop it, I'm just bored ok?'

'BAKA: Why don't you talk to him? (rolling eyes emoji)'

I looked around and saw Noah looking rather down. His expression was full of sorrow, a complete contrast to his jerk self. He looked over at me and I quickly looked back at my screen.

'BAKA: Are you going to tell him about what happened last night?'

'PABO: Are you crazy? He was drunk, he doesn't even know who I am'

'BAKA: He said he loved you, that's a big deal, drunkards tend to speak the truth'

'PABO: I'm not doing it, I'm going to get heartbroken all over again'

I saw Noah as I exited the lecture room. He looked at me nervously, his hand moving from behind his neck through his hair.

"Can we talk?" Noah asked. I nodded at his request.

We sat awkwardly on the bench.

"I honestly don't know where to start, I never would have done this if someone didn't influence me" Noah said nervously.

"I'm sorry for what I did with Sienna, truthfully, it's stupid of me to say this now, but I really liked you and I just felt like you didn't like me back so I was mad and then she kissed me and I just went for it" He explained.

I just smiled. "Thanks for telling me, this person must have really changed you" I mumbled.

"She did, well truthfully I don't know her, I was hammered but I just felt so comfortable with her. I don't remember what she looked like exactly, or what her name was. But she loved me even though she knew about all the bad things I did" He said. He extended his hand to help me up. As he grabbed my hand, he looked at me strangely, I started to feel guilt wash over me.

"I'm sorry but I have to get back to class now" I said as I quickly walked away.

All the voices were muffled as I wore the enormous costume. Every ounce of energy in me, deteriorated with every motion. I can't believe I landed such a crappy part-time job. I felt a jab from behind me and turned around. The bear head lifted revealing my face.
