the boy next door (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

"Ms.Johnson, Ms.Johnson"

"Sam Mr.Rodriguez is calling you"whispered Sarah tapping my shoulder.

I can't stop thinking about him. He's lips that voice, he's body,that memorizing smile.

Its been a week already and I haven't been able to see Zachary do to his peroration for the concert in 2 weeks.

But every night when he has time,we always text each other.

"Ms.Johnson!!!!"

I jumped in my seat and looked at the teacher."Do you mind sharing to the class why you're grinning and not paying attention"growled Mr. Rodriguez.

"I ...I saw a squirrel and he dropped his nuts"I lied,the whole class laughed at me. I slid down in my chair trying to hide from the embarrassment.

It was around lunchtime I sat with Sarah and her twin brother Robert like we usually do. But Robert just stayed quite eating his food.

I want to say I'm sorry but I don't know how. I know he likes me but the feeling isn't mutual.

"ima go get some more ranch this salad is a little bit dry"she laughed leaving us. I felt myself heating ypt. Rob was always like the big brother

I always wanted.

"Robert I'm...sorry"I reached for his hand. "its fine"he sound annoyed. "Robert do you want to ta-"I got cut off from a text message. "go ahead I'm done eating I'm going back to class"he said storming out the cafeteria.

I pulled out my phone and read it.
