Life goes on

New girl, or?

Song to the chapter this time: "It ain't me" by Kygo and Sleena Gomez !

I wake up yawning and stretching my arms first. I want to stay in my warm and comfy bed but I'm almost late for school. So I get up and make myself a coffee.

"Morning darling. Had a nice sleep?"

"Morning, too. Yeah, slept well"

The relationship with my mum is pretty complicated. Mostly she is working so we talk not much. Just some Hellos, Mornings, Good Nights here and there. But sometimes when she is at home we're talking real deep and give each other advices.

Anyway, I nearly rushed out of my apartment to get to school on time. I'm that type who loves to sleep long and hates to get up early. But who doesn't like to sleep long in the morning?

First period is German and I'll see how much tutoring helps me.

I walk in the classroom to find no Gracy or anybody I know around. There is just Jayden talking to some of his friends in the back row. Well he was very kind and friendly yesterday so I decide to go to him. Maybe there is still a free place next to him?

I headed over to him and notice that he looks so hot again. That makes me a little bit nervous. But I just say it's because of his many friends I don't know.

"Good Morning, Jay"

He looks irritated in my eyes and like I'm a stranger. Which is total absurd. But maybe he is different in front of his friends? Or he is ashamed of me? I hope not, that would be awful. Not that I didn't experienced that. Wait no, get that thought out.

After a few seconds thinking he answers:"New Girl, or?"

I simply nod. I definitely expected a different answer. Maybe something like: Oh, look at your stupid face! You didn't think I forgot you Clara, or? But no, he doesn't even remember my name.

I let it go and just sit down somewhere in the room. After a while a small girl tales place next to me.

"Hey, I'm new. I hope you don't mind if I sit here.

As a respond she shakes her head.

Not leaving place to start communicating with her the lesson starts.

"Guten Tag, bitte setzen"

The lesson is pretty boring but to my surprise I understand the most and the teacher seems to be okay. But he gives a lot of homework, we have to write a German essay in three days! Maybe I could ask Jayden to help me... But how he acted towards me before he won't help me anytime soon.

After some other periods it's finally lunch time and I search for Gracy and her friends.

" Ich weiß ja nicht, du solltest mit sowas aufhören. Das arme Mädchen ist sicher total verwirrt."

I turn around to see who talked German right now to find a boy talking over his phone. I wonder who he is.

Because the curiosity is killing me I go over to the boy instead of searching my friends if you already want to say that to them.

"Hey, ahm, I heard you talk German and I wondered why?"

I instantly regret asking that. What again do I do here?! This is so awkward. He doesn't need to have a reason for talking in a foreign language.

He laughs but not like I said something rude or personal.

"I'm an exchange student from Germany"

Yes, that makes sense. Of course, it would make sense, why wouldn't it? I nod awkwardly and smile to say I'm sorry for interrupting him in what ever he has done before.

I want to turn on my heels-

"Hey, don't go! I even don't know your name!"

Oh, he really wants to talk to me? Maybe not so bad of me to talk to him.

"I shouldn't tell my name to strangers, but..."

"I'm Leo. Now I'm not a stranger anymore" he adds grinning the whole time.

"So, Leo, I'm Clara."

We chatted a little and he is pretty friendly. It's nice that you are not all alone and have someone to talk to.

Eventually all my classes are finished and I go home while hearing some music.

Going into the elevator I start thinking again. I should search a new hobby here, because, sport is important! And it will help me to fit in here. I decide to look right through the internet for something when I'm home.

I'm passing the floor where Jayden lives. He acted so different today. So strange. Maybe I should go and talk to him about it. But it could get even worse afterwards...

I take this risk and head back down to his floor. I stand in front of his door. This could be a disaster. But I need to know why he acted so different. I breathe in one more time and slightly knock on his door.

A few seconds pass and he opens the door this time shirtless. Oh shut, he is such a god. His abs are perfectly defined and he has this perfect V-line. He is just the perfect muscular. Not that it is disgusting, hell no, and he is not unmuscular. I even think he has an eight pack!

Wait Clara, snap out! Don't stare! He acted like a coward before! You are here to discuss this with him!

"Didn't we say 6pm again?", he asks while smirking.

I open my mouth but can't speak. He takes my breath away... No, no, no! Snap out!

"Ahm... I just wanted to ask why you acted so strange in school..."

"Oh, no... What did h...me did again?"

What? He can't remember greeting me so strange? Is this a sick joke?

"Oh you just didn't remember me" I answer sarcastically.

He looks down on his foot. He is probably thinking or sorting something out.

"Clara, come in"

Now I really don't know what is going in. Why should I come in? Is he not comfortable talking outside? Is something up? What is he going to say?

And cut. Cliffhangerrrrr!!! :)

Thanks for reading.
