Soft Spot.

A MUST READ!!
I just realized that I made a  mistake while writing. Skylar's maths teacher's name is Mr Thorntow not Mr Roderick.

Read on...

The sound of the door closing and quick footsteps getting closer cause my eyes to widen even more. While I was having a mini panic attack in my head,Gage just stands there leaning by one of the book stands,as relaxed as ever with a lazy smile on his lips.

He's obviously enjoying my freaking out-
Wait, we weren't doing anything wrong.He just helped me.

That's all.

I signal to him with my finger to follow me to meet Miss Borde. Her back is turned to us as we come out of the books stand.

"I'm right here Miss Borde... I was just putting away the books you sent for."She turns to face me immediately at the sound of my voice,but raises an eyebrow when she sights Gage behind me.

"Oh yes.Thank you Miss Davies but may I ask what he's doing here... with you?"She throws a look of disapproval at him.

Guess she doesn't like Gage much.

"I actually came to-"

"Oh he just helped me with the books...is all".I promptly interrupt  whatever Gage wanted to say."We'll be leaving now,Miss Borde."She just gives us a suspicious look, not replying.

I grab Gage's arm, dragging him outside the library.He obviously allowed me drag him all the way outside if not I would have been grunting from his weight.

"Well that went well, didn't it?"He smiles cheekily at me. I roll my eyes at him as I let go of his arm,walking away.

"Come on Shortstack,nothing happened right?She wasn't mad we were there alone since you told her I helped you carry the books."He grabs my arm to hold me back and my eyes zero in on his hands on mine.
As if he just realizes he's holding me, he quickly releases it and mumbles a "sorry".

My heart drops a little at his action but I quickly shrug it off as nothing.

"I know Gage,she just doesn't like you for some reason but thanks for your help again". I need to leave before I embarrass myself again or start to ramble about irrelevant stuffs.

"Wait...We didn't get to finish our conversation back there."He calls out as his eyes hold mine longer than necessary.

"About what?"I ask dumbly. Way to go Skye! You never seem to run out of cluelessness...

He chuckles a bit as he moves close to me,"I asked what you think of me?"
 
He's coming close again!

"I-uh I think my opinion about you doesn't really matter now, does it?"Does he want me to tell him that he's not all that he has been portrayed to be by the students or that he's actually kind and nice to people and let's not forget his distractingly looks and mesmerizing eyes too.

"If I'm going to be seeing you a lot then at least I need to know what you think of me"His gaze does not falter from mine as he responds.

Seeing me a lot?
Who said anything about that?

"I'm not certain about that part...but all I know is that you have an ego the size of this school and dating the school slu-I mean Tiana...so that's about it,anything else you feel you need to know Gage?"I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Oh you know about that huh?"He scratches his head sheepishly with one hand in his pocket. He looked almost guilty or maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me.
