Undercover love

Chapter 2

His eyes were so blue like the deep gigantic ocean, I was starting to get lost in it. I don't know how long we stared at each other, but soon he broke it.

" We'd better get to class now. We're late," he said as if nothing had happened.

" Uh.. Yeah of.. Of course!" I stuttered. I hate it. Why do I have to talk like that in front of him? Why can't I control how I feel?

" Hailey?"

"Oh I'm sorry. Just spaced out a little..."

" Oh it's ok. Let's get to class."

Today was the first day I actually talked to James. It felt... Good. But after that short mini conversation we had, he did not look at me or acknowledge me. Soon, it was break time and all of us rushed to the cafeteria. As usual, I went to the secluded table at the corner to meet Anna and Daphne.

" Hey guys! So what are we gonna talk about today?" I said happily. Anna and Daphne looked at me in confusion.

" What?!" I asked.

" Is something wrong with you..?" Zoey asks.

"Or did you have a good encounter with James??" Anna said cheerfully. I smacked her head.

" Well.. Uh .. Yeah actually.. But.. It isn't really something big.." I said softly. Then I told them everything that happened.

The next day, I was more eager to get to school and see how James reaction would be when I saw him. But... He did not come. I was disappointed, but I guess he was just sick or something. But the strange thing is, he never came back. Months and months later, he never did. Everyday I had a feeling that he was coming to school but he never did.

Soon, I lost hope. Deep down inside my heart somewhere, I felt sad. Even though I was not related to him someway or another, I just had that really sad feeling, like my heart was burning into ashes.

A year later...

I had forgotten about him. I had found a new life. I had my awesome best friends who stood by me and a really sweet boyfriend Alex.

I woke up, not as eager as before, and trudged to school.

"Hey babe," Alex popped out of nowhere and slid his hand around my waist.

"Hi.."

"What's wrong?"

" Nothing. Just feeling tired."

" Oh hope I made you feel better," he smirks as he says.

"No." I said just to spite him.

"Hey!" He laughed and kissed me. I smiled as we walked to our lockers.

The bell rang and I was sitting on my desk already. Suddenly, I heard gasp from people around and I looked up. The stood the familiar ruffled hair with ocean blue eyes walking in. Well, just... hotter. I felt my heart picking up in speed as he walked passed me normally. I inhaled his scent. It smelled the same after a year... I thought he was never going to come back. And here he is...

" Alright class!" Our history teacher Mr Grumps said.

" Today, we have a new student, or should we say an old student who is back. I'm sure all of you have noticed him, he is James. Now we shall start our lesson." He said as he started his boring teachings. I spent my time daydreaming and spacing out. do I still have feelings for James? I can't. I already have Alex. I can't cheat on him. Why is my heart beating so fast? Well, I guess it's just hormones. And so, class ended quite quickly today. As the bell rang, I immediately packed my bag and rushed out of class. Again, I was stuck among all the students and was last to go out again. Everyone was pushing and all of a sudden, someone grabbed me from the crowd.

" What the hell are..." I stopped as I stared at James.

" Hey," He said as he got closer to me.

"Uh.. Yes??" I stuttered.

" How was life when I wasn't around?" He asked.

"Why do I have to tell you? You aren't even related to me..." I muttered.

" Sorry?"

" Uh... Nothing. What do you want?

" Umm...Well..."

"Spit it" I snapped. I am not that shy girl anymore..

"Whoa when were you like..." I looked at him boredly

"Spill" I said once more

"Oh fine. You see... I just came back and I don't have a place to stay and..." he used his hand to mess his hair further making him look hotter.

"And??" I said impatiently.

"And I hope you can rent me your house" he looked down.

"What?!" I kinda said too loud.

" Uh nevermind... It's just that I don't have parents and... no one here is related to me.. and I need a place to stay...and I heard you're staying alone so..." He said as he looked at me pitifully. I just looked back with a I-don't-care look.

"Oh fine! I shan't bother you anymore... I will TRY to find a place to stay.." He said emphasizing on the 'try'. He walked away slowly with a sad face plastered on him. I actually felt sorry for him...

" Wait! I could rent to you a room... Since I have plenty of empty rooms in my house... So, see you later after school? We could go get your stuff and move in..."

"Really?!" His face lit up with a smile,"Yeah sure!"

*

"Hey Alex, I need to tell you something" I said after school.

"Uh.. I'm kinda busy now, another day please?" He whispered as he was on the phone.

"But..."

"Please??" He said pleadingly. I nodded and decided not to disturb him so I walked away, a little irritated on the inside. These few days he was always on the phone. It's not that I'm forbidding him to be on the phone, but he has started to drift away from me.

James was already waiting outside the school with his luggages. I walked over to him.

"Hey" He said happily.

"Hey. Let's go. We've gotta walk. No car" I said a little rudely.

"Someone's having a bad day" he teased.

"Shut up" I scowled and walked off not waiting for him.

" Wait up!" he shouted running towards me.

James POV.

I need that box. The box that keeps a very important secret that those people are looking for. Inside is where Hailey's parents live. I need to find them quick.

So now that I have completed my first objective, that is to stay with Hailey, the next is to make her have feelings for me. So that I would know where the box is.

I never noticed her a year ago, but now that I have noticed her, she seemed prettier.

But I can't fall for her. I was told that I could not fall in love, at least until this mission is completed...
