Immortal (MJ)

Chapter Eight

Physical appearance of Grey above^^^

     I was walking into school with no one at my side. I wish Randy was here, but I do need my alone time. Still nobody new has talked to me at all. That's alright, I have time. I came here to learn, not to socialize.

     But at the same time I do have to socialize in order to learn. I walk into English class alone and take a seat right next to the boy who wouldn't stop staring yesterday. I wanted to say something to him. "Ok today I'm going to give you an assignment with the person sitting next to you. I need you both to analyze Estella in one paragraph. You guys have the whole class period, get started." The teacher informed. When she was done, everyone started to converse with the person beside them.

     I awkwardly turned to Grey who instantly made eye contact with me. He gave me a smile and giggled. I returned the favor and held out my hand. He gave it a light shake. "I'm Bliss. Bliss Jackson." I introduced myself. "Grey Parson." He replied. I knew who he was. I just didn't want to sound like a creep.

    But that wasn't my concern right now. Jackson?  Why did I say that's my last name? It's not my last name. I'm not a Jackson.

     I don't even remember what my last name was. But why did I say Bliss Jackson? I look down that the blank piece of paper then back at Grey. "How would you describe Estella?" He asked me. "A bitch." I replied honestly.

     I fully told the truth. There is evidence in the book of Estella being the coldest bitch I have ever observed. Grey laughed as he adjusted his glasses. "Please be serious." He stated while laughing. I playfully rolled my eyes.

     "Well, on one page Pip describes her as beautiful but insulting." I tried to say in a logical way. He nodded and wrote it down on the paper. We were finished within less than five minutes. The remainder of the time we had to ourselves. It was awkward. I didn't really know what to say.

     "Tell me about yourself." He began. I raised an eyebrow. "What's there to tell?" I asked. "Anything. Such as where you're from." He suggested. "I'm from Georgia. I moved here with my, boyfriend." I said.

     What? Why did I say Michael is my boyfriend? He's far from my boyfriend. He's not even an acquaintance. I could even go as far as to say I hate him.

     I don't know why that came out of my mouth. I'm such an idiot for saying that. "And your parents are ok with this?" He asked me. I can't cry responding to him. I'm dead too, so why am I upset?

     "My parents are dead, and Michael is all I have." I told him. In a sad but truthful way, I was right. I have been alone for the past three years. I have not lived with anyone in a long time. Living with Michael is a huge change to my entire life.

     I looked over at Grey and he seemed to be understanding. "I'm lived in Alaska for almost my entire life. Now I live with my mom here because my parents are getting a divorce." He explained. I felt so bad for him. He shouldn't have to go through that or have to choose between the two of them. "I'm so sorry." Was the only thing I could say.

     He shook his head. "I'm fine. I feel that I might be better off with them separated." He answered. I don't know how to reply. As long as he's happy, that's all that matters. The bell rings and everyone gets up and out of the classroom.

      We walked down the hallway and watched people go inside from class to class. We turned to a long hallway where my government class is located. "I have to go to photography. Can I see you at lunch?" He asked. I nodded. Suddenly he placed a kiss on my lips.

     I took a step back. I'm so shocked he decided to pull a move on me this quickly. He looked very embarrassed. I didn't want to hurt his feelings at all. I actually enjoyed it and wish it lasted longer.

     "I'm so sorry. I couldn't help it." He said. I smiled then kissed him again. We began to kiss passionately as the late bell blasted in our ears. I was into my first kiss and I enjoyed it. Until I heard someone clear their throat from a distance.

     I separated from Grey and turned to see Randy standing right there.
