Jules's P.O.V

"Good afternoon, class", Miss Jenson greeted.

She didn't wait for us to respond, but continued.

"Today I'm going to introduce you to a new member of the class...he's new so don't be rude, and he's quite cool too."

Miss Jenson said blushing.

She looked like a tomato.

REALLY! I think I saw wrong. SHE WAS BLUSHING. A TEACHER WAS BLUSHING... and because of a STUDENT!

I can not believe this.

She was busy blabbing about how fresh the guy was blah blah ...The girls were squealing and blushing, whiles the boys were waiting to give him invitations to join their crews.

Normally I will be in the same state as the girls, but I don't know I just wasn't falling for him.

Like, there was something wrong about him, I was feeling it.

Something just wasn't right. I just put my head on my desk, too bored to listen to what Miss Jenson was blabbing about.

It wasn't long before I heard a  voice say, "Hi everyone, I 'm Raymond but you can call me Ray."

I excluded myself from the introductions, so I wasn't surprised when the new guy stood at my table a few minutes later.

Why will I be surprised?

He never took his eyes off me for one second, since he stepped into the class.

Is he a stalker?

Or worse, is he a pervert?

Pervert alert people!!

He bent down and tapped me on the back.

I reluctantly rose my head from my desk.

He was like, "Hey do you remember me?"

I wanted to say, "Hey I don't know you so HOW WILL I REMEMBER YOU!!"

But I went with a cool, "Am I supposed to know you?"

He looked shocked but he quickly recovered.

"No, I didn't think so."

"What's your name again?", he then asked.

I stared into his eyes and asked, " Did I mention my name before?"

"No."

"I didn't think so", I just said using his words against him.

Then I stared into his black eyes and he stared into mine.

"Wait! Do you know him?", someone asked.

Everything became so weird.

The air and the atmosphere changed, and the class waited anxiously for our reply.

I stared at him and he stared at me some more.

" No", I shook my head and turned my attention to the class.

"No", he also clarified.

"I definitely don't know Jules from anywhere".

Then he let out an awkward laugh.

Why the awkward laugh?

WAIT! Why does he know my name?

Only my closest friends call me Jules.

Maybe he is a stalker after all.

*sigh*

What can I say?

I'm too famous.

Miss Jenson cleared her throat and clapped her hands.

"Okay Raymond, since you are already there why don't you just sit beside Juliana at the front"

If death glares could kill, Raymond McCarthy would no longer be found in the history of humans.

Raymond cleared his throat awkwardly.

"No thank you, ma'am. I prefer to sit at the back. My presence at the front will distract your class, I believe", he said.

Miss Jenson then said," Aww, he is so considerate."

If considerate is a simple word for 'scared of Jules's death glares', then I agree with Miss Jenson.

For the rest of the period, I felt someone's gaze on me.

I knew it was Raymond but I didn't dare turn.

Not once.

Instead, I typed in the number used to ring the cops and kept my finger above the call button, ready to tap it when necessary.

At some point in time, I couldn't take it anymore and was about to scream, "Hey! Freak! Stop staring at me!
It's enough! Too much of everything is bad!"

But that's when the bell came to the rescue.

I packed my books and rushed out of the class, with Kally in front of me.

So when a pair of strong arms reached out from the dark...

It wasn't Kally who was grabbed.

______________________

"Let go! Let go!", I screamed.

But because my mouth was covered it probably sounded like," Yeh fo! Yeh fo!"

"Be silent!", the kidnapper hissed pulling me back into the dark classroom.

I yelled for Kally but she didn't hear a thing.

She didn't even notice that I was gone.

Some best friend she is.

I bit the kidnapper's palm and he let go immediately.

I turned and it was...
(cue the beating drums)

"Surprise!"

It was Raymond.

*sigh*

Why am I not surprised?
