Chapter Six

PLEASE EXCUSE ALL ERRORS IN THIS CHAPTER  AS I HAD TO TYPE THIS  ALL ON MY PHONE THANK YOU FOR READING

I keep biting my nails as I watch the minute had shift on the clock. The ticking driving me nuts. I look at the white board to the teachers blue and red handwriting but I don't make out any words because of me concentrating to hard. Concentrating on the fact in less than five minutes I will be in the drama room, regretting of saying no but glad I said yes.

"Madetlyn."

I look at the teacher and I only dare to say, "what?" Because the class erupts in giggles and laughs trailing off by the teacher.

"I said. Please pick from the hat."

I go to the sound teacher and then pull the ripped piece of paper from the hat. I look around the class. At him. He is drawing or something in his notebook and so I unfold the paper.

I gulp after the teacher asks me who it is, "uh Eli."

I instantly see his head pop right up and look at me. He smirks and nods. I can see from here his tongue is rolled into one of his cheeks and then brought back to its original spot as he bites his lip.

I sit down and then after a few people have picked from the hat too the bell rings.

"Well well well," Eli leans to me after to walks by, "would you look at that. Drama leads, lovers, and science partners. Might as well marry me now, princess."

Before I could say anything else he walks off out of the room. Leaving me in confusion for the second time today. I gather my  things and exit the room as others do. I am greeted by LeAnn and she hugs me.

"Hey girl," she says as she walks.

"What you're not walking with Luke?" I ask in a joking manner.

She looks at me funny, "why of course not. He has drama right after school." She stops in her tracks and then smiles in devilish way, "shouldn't you be there now?"

"You know," I sigh and then shrug as I go to my locker, "I have so much I have to do. I have homework."

"On a Monday?"

I roll my eyes and proceed to ignore her, "I have to do my laundry."

"You can do that afterward."

I can't be defeated yet. Not by LeAnn, "Well I have to take you home."

She smirks and then shakes hetvhead, "nope. You are cut free from now on. I am taking the bus home while you go to drama practise."

I hit my head against the locker with my forehead. I don't wabt to go there but I know I need to. I open my locker and put my things in it. I take out my science book though and pop it in my backpack, "fine I will go."

I shut my door harshly and then she smiles again,"this is all you have been waiting for ever since you came here."

"Yeah yeah yeah," I grown and walk to the room. Room 386. Right by the junior math room and the band room.

When I walk in the lights are out.

What the-

I look around and then blink my eyes, "hello?" I ask.

Someone says a "shh". I look down to where the voice is and a girl is right at a desk pointing down as if I should be there too. I furrow my eyebrows and then shrug my shoulders. I kneel down and then just one light comes on. But under that light there he is.

"For night the window breaks. She is sparkling like an amber and yet I fear not. Her snarles and snares fill my ears however that doesn't stop me from falling for her," he looks from ahead to the side.
