I paced with ease in the hallways with no enthusiasm what's so ever to walk into the classroom of hell. It had been three weeks into school and I entirely despised the class. Everyone had their friends to talk with, on the other hand I was alone. I particularly didn't like sharing my thoughts and ideas because I went into the deeper meaning of things and earned myself the title of the class nerd. Apparently my test scores intimidated my classmates enough to keep them away from me. It was pretty sad. It didn't bother me that I had no one to talk to or laugh along with, until my teacher announced a discussion in which we had to discuss as pairs. People moved around to work with whoever they wanted to work with, in the end I was isolated on one side of the classroom. No matter where I looked everyone was already seated with someone. It was painful because they all seemed so happy and I sat there miserably, it was difficult to pretend that I wasn't upset for being alone, because in reality I was. With no other option I quickly pulled out my book and began to flip to the page where I last left off. I was beginning to drown in the sea of words when I heard a chair being pulled out in front of me. I did not dare to look up and continued to read, until I felt the gaze of someone penetrating so hard they could probably see my soul.
"So, whatcha reading?"
I looked up and met a friendly pair of eyes. My face completely stiffened, I cleared my throat and quickly recomposed myself.
"The Fault In Our Stars." I retaliated with a overly exited face I mean someone from class was actually talking to me how else could I react.
As soon as those words left my mouth I felt my complexion change to a subtle shade of pink. I felt like a total idiot for blurting that out. That's it, the only friend I could have possibly made and my dumb ass already ruined it. I hung my head in shame and averted the boy's gentle eyes. I heard him laugh a bit before he extended his hand towards me.
"I'm Jesus , nice to meet you um... "
"Ale...jand.."
He quickly cut me off.
"Alejandra! Of course! I knew that!"
For some strange reason I found myself smiling. It's not that I didn't ever smile, but that it was a sincere smile. I silently stared at my paper, fiddling my fingers.
"Did I say something wrong?"
I snapped out of my small trance and shook my head.
"No not at all" I said nervously.
"Good" he responded. "Suprisingly I really like that book you're reading. One of my favorites."
With a smile I said, "Really I honestly thought I was the only one who thought this book was such an amazing book"
"We got something in common then why don't we figure out what else we have in common at lunch," he said while his eyes dazzled.
Nervously I responded, "sure why not".
"Great I can't wait to hear everything about you pewdiepie", he said as he gave me an ebullient look.
For the first time in my life I had a friend. I didn't know what to feel or say or do and he gave me a nickname already. I felt like I was blushing.
"Your cheeks look so cute and rosey when you blush" he said with a chuckle.
I didn't know if that was a compliment or not it made me blush more tho.
"Uhm thanks", I said as I giggled.
My stomach felt funny.
The bell rang for lunch. I walked out of class with Jesus. He started talking about himself and his interests.
"well for starters I'm 16 and a cat person they're just so fluffy and adorable. I know that sounds pretty gay but I mean who doesn't think cats are adorable like c'mon you know. I enjoy spending my days playing guitar and writing music"
"Cats are adorable like how can they not be?" I added. "That's really creative of you to write your own music, I bet you're pretty good"
"Yea I guess what about you, do you draw, dance or sing?" he asked.
I shyly said, "I draw here and there"
"Hey another thing we have in common we're both some what creative. Which is pretty neat you should show me some of your drawings sometime and I'll show you a song I've been working on", he said excitedly.
"I'd like that idea" I said with joy.
We both looked at each other with a smile. Just staring at each others eyes. His brown eyes were so dazzling and I couldn't resist not to look at them. His flat long shaggy hair made me want to pet him. His smile was like a winning smiling perfect teeth and shiny. I wish I knew what he thought of me and I really hope we could be friends.
