Somebody else's shoes.

I'm unsure 8

Mondays, the worst day of the week and all I wanted to do was crawl back into my bed. Sadly I couldn't do that and I had to go to school. I looked around the room for something to wear only for my eyes to land on a shirt that read 'Senpia don't notice me.' With a sigh I threw on the shirt, some skinny ripped jeans, and custom painted vans with sunflowers on them, my favorite flowers. Before I left my room I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled to myself. Today will be a good day.

As I pulled up to school I felt the pain of me wishing that it was monday but I couldn't just magicly make it Friday even if I tried. With a deep breath I stepped out and walked inside and to my locker. Distant whispers of students lined the hallway since most were outside and mostly males. Silence surrounded me as I opened my locker and reached for my books. A mirror in my cold locker sat on the door to show every mean girl pass by with their stupid boyfriends.

The sound of someone next to me opening their locker made me jump knowing there was someone next to me and most likely watching and listening to my every move. In the corner of my eye I saw a male with pinky hair put his stuff away in his locker. He was asian and had a black long sleeve shirt on. The male suddenly turned towards me as if he knew I was looking at me and thought I was weird but I couldn't blame him.

"Nice shirt." I turned slowly to see the guy who shyly looked at me and smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you-" I stopped only to realize that he was wearing the same shirt and smiled with more confidence.

We exchanged a few giggles then went back to awkward silence. I felt a pit in my stomach to the thought of me not asking his name, a paper was in front of my face and I took it as the guy walked away. James  it read with a phone number on it. I smiled and slammed my locker and went to class.

Through out the day my mind wandered and I didn't pay attention and I was almost shocked that it was lunch. Maddie sat in front of me and ate his food in silence, a few glances towards me made me focus on his actions. As soon as I started to pay attention Maddie exhailed loudly and looked into my eyes. In fear my mind couldn't focus on his movements and just overall shut down.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

Maddie rubbed his eyes and looked down at his food once more as if he had heard nothing from me. Annoyed I tried to get in his face or at least get his attention but he didn't respond. I gave up and felt anger rush through out my body and made it so I couldn't think straight. Trying to hold it in I got up and walked away only to see Maddie look at me as I got farther away from him. My heart started to tear as I thought, what did I do? 

Tears then started to form in my eyes the more I asked questions. A stream of tears came down my face as I suddenly fell to the ground questioning everything around me. Did I do something wrong? Does he hate me? What's wrong? I'm fine, you're fine....right?  My body started to shake as I thought more and more until I started to scream in my head.

YOU ARE OKAY! STOP BEING DRAMATIC! STOP CRYING YOU CRYBABY! As I almost laid on the ground a figure stood above me, as I looked up James bent down and gave me a hug. All of my hurtful thoughts then suddenly stopped as I closed my eyes. I felt warmth, comfort, and love. As I opened my eyes James and Maddie both held me and blocked the world out as they sat on the floor with me.

"It's okay. " James said as he pulled away.

Maddie still kept a tight grip on me and kept me calm. James smiled and walked away with the look I'll leave you two alone. I stood up and looked at Maddie who stood in front of me. Everything rushed back and I walked away.

Suddenly arms wrapped around me as a single tear came down my face, Maddie held me tight once more.

"Shhhh. It's okay. I'm gonna hug you even without your consent." Tears poured down my face as thoe words came out of his mouth.

Slowly I turned around and cried in his arms and felt happy. Maddie rested his head on mine and made all the thoughts go away and my feeling disapear. After a minute or so we both pulled way and I looked up at Maddie who smiled. Silence stayed between us as the bell rang and him walking  me to class. Before he left me Maddie smiled and made his last words echo in my brain.

The rest of school was stupid and right as I got home I fell onto my bed in the weird formation of a disney princess. With humor I sat there and waited for my fairy godmother to appear and save me from my sorrow. In disapointment now godmother appeared but a Maddie godmother did send me a random text of him in an odd outfit like out of  a christmas story.

'How do I look?' It read. I smiled and tried to keep my laughter in.

'Fabulous.' I responded.

A few minutes passed as soon as I got a sudden message from Maddie. As soon as I opened it I felt my heart sink.

'Do you like me?' in shock I starred at the words.

'I don't know what I feel for you right now.' The read sign popped up and no answer from Maddie made me scared out of my wits

Did....did I answer bad?
