Hello Stranger

After the incident between me and Cole we have been avoiding each other for the past three weeks. I walked out of my house telling my mom in particular i would eat at school, since I didn't feel like eating with my parents today .

Skip to chemistry...

I walked into class and sat down fast not glancing once at Cole. I know he's there i feel his presence and sometimes his stare. Ms. gibbons gave us an assignment without explaining but the work was pretty easy. It seems like ms. gibbons is starting to lack of class work. When i was about to grab the paper Cole tried to grab the same paper and our fingers brushed he retreated his hand away fast. He has been acting really weird, well weirder than normal.

" Cole can we go back to normal and stop this awkwardness going on it's quite foolish..." I said looking up at him with hope .

" Ok" , He looks at me dead in the eye but the weird thing is he had no expression it's been like that for so long i thought that he might be a high tech robot. He looked like he was forced to say this. I looked down at my shoes so my hair could curtain my face. I want to act like we are back to our hate relationship, but how can i fake when he won't give me a full sentence.

The bell rung and Cole sprang from his seat in what looked like a hurry and sped walked out of class leaving me confused as usual. No one makes me this confused then again it's not like i'm trying to find out . He doesn't like me i don't like him either so i get why we're confused most of the time. I walk out into the hall ruffling my hair trying to find him, but to my avail he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I went into english and sat next to jack quietly.

" Hey silver, Are you ok? You kind of look more pale than usual." He jokes, but i don't smile. This get him to stop laughing and to look more serious.

" What's wrong you look off today?" He asks worried this time. I roll my eyes and let out a laugh Darcy leans forward in her seat on the side of jack to look at me with a raised eyebrow and jack looks overly confused.

" I've been off for weeks and you now notice, wow jack what a great boyfriend you are!" I say losing my temper for  a bit and instead of jack frowning he smiles now this confused me.

" So we're officially dating now!" He smiles rubbing his neck i look at him with disbelief it's like he didn't hear anything i said. When i was about to say something back to him the door slammed open causing me and the rest of the class to jump and to look towards the doorway. The person who walked in almost made me want to run out of class.

" Ah, you finally decided to join my class Bradshaw!" Our teacher said. For the first time i'm hearing Cole's last name. He walks in farther and i swear all the girls started batting their fake eyelashes, literally. Cole's eyes meet mine but we quickly avert our eyes away.

" Well don't just stand there take a seat next to... uh Mrs. oak because you have lot to catch up on buddy. So, get moving." Cole rolls his eyes and walks to the back and sits on the other side of me and i saw jack looking at him up and down. I looked towards Cole to find him scowling at me more than usual, i clear my throat uncomfortably and he looks at the ground.

" Pss!"

"Pss!"

"Pss silver!" Jack whisper yells. I turn towards him relieved he's in here also.

" You know him or somin'? " He asks curiously with a tinge of jealousy. I smile at him and i lean towards him and kissed his cheek softly his eyes fluttered shut.

" Why would i know this..." I tried to find the right words knowing Cole can hear me clearly. " Imbecile." I said proudly. Jack smiled and pecked me quick on the lips. When i sat up straight in my chair i found Cole shaking his head.
