The Tragedy Of Losing You (On Hold)

CHAPTER 3

"May I sit here?" He asked.

I couldn't get myself to look at him and I couldn't even get any words to say to him...

I gathered up some courage and looked at him and just nodded. He then picked the packet of crisps and the juice he gave me and put it on my laps while he sat down...

He then got busy talking to his friends who were on the other seats across us.
I didn't want to disturb him, in fact I couldn't because I didn't know what to talk about...

I had my earphones on and was listening to the playlist of my favourite songs and was completing my poem when I felt a tap on my arm.

I looked up to see that he was the one who did so. He was saying something but I couldn't hear since my songs were playing on full volume... I lowered the volume down;

"Uhm... Sorry, you were saying something?"

"Yea, these are my friends... They live in the same place as I do." He said while he pointed towards where they were seated.

I looked to see where he pointed and saw six faces looking back at me. I just kept on looking at them while he introduced me to them (again).

I waited for him to finish and they all turned to look back at me now with recognition on their faces. I just whispered 'hi' to them which I think even I didn't hear...

After which the rest went to doing their work apart from two of his friends who still looked at me and one of them was saying something that sounded like it was directed towards him but was for me to hear;

"...oh she's the one you always talk about yea?" His friend asked him.

I think my soul left me when his friend said that, I mean why would 'HE' talk about me to his friends! Oh my God I was panicking... I think he noticed me doing so and glared at his friends who smiled sheepishly before getting back to whatever they were doing.

I notice him looking at me before he quickly goes back to listening to music or I guess that was what he was doing...

'Back to talking to myself' I thought and smiled on the inside.

"What are you smiling about?" He startles me with his question.

So much for smiling on the inside.

"Nothing..." I reply still smiling.

Honestly if my brain was a person they'd be dead by face palming so much because of the stuff I say and do.

He smiles back and then makes himself comfortable on the seat, not before sending me looks I had no idea about.

After a while my stupid phone's battery died. Great, just great. I couldn't even talk to sky now or anyone else.

I remembered sky was sitting in front of us. With my poetry book on my laps and my dead phone and a shitty pen that only works when it feels like I looked at sky and stared at her back trying to get her to look at me telepathically... But it was no use.

I then tapped her shoulder and ask her for a pen. She looked at me and smirked.
What was with people and smirking at me? I then asked her for her phone and opened the icon saying 'note' .

Like all high school girls we started gossiping about this cute boy seated right next to me until he realised what we were doing.

"What are you two doing?" He asks raising his eyebrow with a sign of curiosity.

"Nothing...uhm...(ask him for a pen ya! Sky whispers from the front only for me to hear), I was asking her if she had a pen, mine stopped working..." I say.

"I have a pen...lemme get it for you" He says as he gets up to get his small bag and removes a wooden set that has all colour pencils and pencils but no pen.

I frowned and he saw that. He gave me the set and sat down. Sky suddenly calls me and hands me a pen... And I start smiling when he saw my smile and relief shows on his face only for a moment before he masks it with a smile of his own.

I start drawing minions and other small cute things when I feel a tap on my arm.

I see him looking at me very carefully and at what I was drawing...

"Let's play X-O..." He says.

We start playing and then towards the end of the game I win and probably he made me win purposely because he knew how much I hated losing a game.

I smiled at him and then started looking at the beautiful scenery and getting lost into my world of scenarios...
