Electric

Part 8 - SHAYdy

Jae's POV

I walk into NM1 feeling tense, why am I so tense I kinda resolved things with Shay yesterday I should have nothing to worry about but as I look around NM1 I notice why I felt so tense. In silence, everyone was sitting at random spots invested in their laptops and notebooks with stressed looks plastered onto all of their faces. 

Oh God

It's... the dreaded assessment and exam week

"How could I forget," Brian screeched running hands through his hair

"Wonpil what is this gradient thing mean,"

"I don't know don't ask me," Wonpil replied to Dowoon with drowsy eyes

I looked over to find her absorbed in her laptop completely silent I stared over for a few seconds waiting for a reaction

"Jae weren't you suppose to keep track of the assessments and exams this term!" Sungjin complained loudly 

"God sorry I lost track of how many assessments do we have?" I asked praying it was only a few

"Five," Wonpil said counting papers

"So what's the grand plan now?" Brian said sarcastically

"Libary after-school," I decided quickly everyone nodding  tiredly 

"Do you want to come as well, Shay?" Dowoon asked

Shay looked up from her computer in shock

"Me?" she said in a trance

"Yes you, is there another Shay in the room?" I scoffed 

"Sure I'll come I have a free period this afternoon so I'll be there early,"

"Oh me too," I said realizing...

Free Period - Shay's POV

I swear this school loves to bombard us with essays about the most useless things, I walked tiredly to the bus stop where Jae stood. I don't need to worry about there being a 3rd electric moment right, we are obviously not compatible with this stupid charade of overthinking stops... NOW.

"Are you ready to write 1000 words about a play from a million years ago," Jae said as we waited for the bus

"Totally can't you tell that I'm just itching to get into it," I replied just as sarcastically a small exchange of laughter occurred before we got onto the bus

I felt the air being sucked out of my lungs as I walked into the bus crowded with people, suddenly everything has frozen, several pairs of eyes set on me I was now alone Jae has disappeared my feet feel like they are stuck in an inescapable quicksand which is slowly eating me up.

"Shay,"

"Shay,"

The quicksand dissolves from my feet and I find Jae tapping me on the shoulder, I look down at the ground and quickly run to the only empty seats. Jae left confused and dazed takes a seat next to me, Jae stares at me and with shaky fingers, I fish out my tangled earphones.

"Shay are you-"

"I'm fine," I say hiding my panicked emotions

As people begin to leave the bus my fingers stop shaking and I can finally breathe 

"What happened?" Jae asked as I realized I was sitting next to him

"I don't like big crowds," I said blankly

Giving up on my tangled earphones I throw my earphones back into my backpack and frustratingly shove my hands into my pocket. A few seconds later I feel an ear-phone being quickly pushed into my ear, I turn my head but a song begins to play in my ear and the volume is adjusted loudly. 

Thank you

Can Jae Park-Hyung read telepathic messages?

The slow beats of drums and soft guitar fill my ears, the song begins to soothe my shaky hands and bring into a utopia where it's just me and my music... Slowly my relaxed state begins to turn into a sleepy one the more I try to keep myself awake the easier it is for me to fall asleep... 

Jae's POV 

I knew that my god-like music would send her to sleep it's just that good, I watch as her head of knotted strawberry blond hair flops around struggling to find a spot to rest...  I reach out my hand to nudge her head onto my shoulder but my hand jerkily backs away 

"You missed a good opportunity, my dude," A deep voice says 

I turn around to find a guy with broad shoulders and a sharply defined face, sitting in a relaxed position phone in hand. What's this guys problem?

"Is she your girlfriend?" he asks

"Uh no," I respond quickly looking out the window hoping that our stop is coming up

"Great," he says smirking

I press the stop button on the bus and shake Shays shoulder slightly which didn't really wake her from her deep sleep so instead, I pulled out her earphone. Her eyelids lifted revealing her green eyes I stand up and grab my bag,

"Let's go," I say 

"We're not even at-"

Without letting Shay finish I grabbed her by the wrist and walked straight off the bus, I watched slowly hoping the sleazy guy from before DAMN IT. I see the same guy walk off looking for us what the hell does he want.

"Hey why are you trying to run away," the guy says

He then looks down at my hand still grasping at Shay's wrist I quickly let go

"I saw you at Veronicas' party you were amazing," he says flashing a blinding smile

"Could I have your number?" he continues

Shay still wiping her eyes slowly blinks a few times before realizing what she was just asked

"My number?" she questions

"Yeah I think you're really cool," he said now running a hand through his oddly cut brown hair

"Whatever sure," she admits passing her phone to him

After putting his number in he yet again smiled blindingly before waving and walking off

"Why the hell did we get off here, we have to walk all the way to the mall now," Shay complained

"Well why the hell did you give your number to that SHAYdy guy if you know what I'm saying," I replied back walking in direction of the mall

Shay smiles at my reference and quickly returns to scowling at me as we begin to trudge through a pathway the sun causing my forehead to sweat, I watch as Shay continues to trudge along with her beanie still intact with her head.

"Get that thing off before I do it for you," I say 

"No I'm fine," Shay says now pulling her phone out

"What was that guy's name?" I asked curiously

"Why," she said shoving her phone back in her pocket

"Cause... I think I've seen him around," I lied

"Noah I think," she said plainly

Noah, his name just gives me a bad vibe for some reason, it sounds like the name of the fu*k boi from one of those Wattpad stories...
