Red Sparks

Chapter 5: The Explanation

Jane's POV,

 *some random music comes on*

'Taegan has weird taste in music', I thought aloud. I was about to hang up when he answered.

Taegan: I've been expecting you. *in a deep voice*

Me: Gee, really? I couldn't tell. Took you long enough to answer the phone.

Taegan: I had to use the toilet! *voice drops back to normal*

Me: Thanks for sharing!

Taegan: Ha ha. Ok, you win this time. So! I missed you in Ms. Kaisons class, Mr. Webb class.. So where did you disappear to? Did you go on a date with the One Direction clan? *snickers*

Me: One Direction clan? Seriously? But no, I didn't go on a date with them.

Taegan: I know! You went on a date with that curly hair dude that keeps following you around!  *laughs*

Me: His name is Harry and he's..

Taegan: Aha! So you do know his name! So what was the date like? Did he bring you food? *continues laughing*

Me: Taegan John Anderson! Are you quite finished? Do you want to hear what happened or not? *annoyed*

Taegan: Uh oh. Full name alert. Ok ok. I do want to know, I'll keep quiet now.

 *silence*

 Me: Its like this, remember during lunch you left me at the gym?

Taegan: For the record, I didn't leave you, I had a emergency meeting to attend to, the mascot was stolen remember? But yeah, I do remember that.

Me: Well I stayed on at the gym. I was listening to some music while doing my notes for the play when I sort of got hit by a basketball..

Taegan: I do know that, the blond dude or some other dude told during the meeting, but what I want to know is why did those guys follow you? To the meeting??! You know how Mrs. Lesauvage is with outsiders!

(I could almost picture his annoyed look)

Me: I didn't mean for that to happen! It just did. When I woke up in the nurse office, they were already there. Apparently, the whole time I was knocked out. I noticed it was 4pm in the nurse office and was on my way to the meeting, but they..

Taegan: They?

Me: Yes. All of them. Liam, Harry, Louis, Niall and Zayn. They wanted to make sure I was alright, and though I insisted I was and that I could make it out on my own, they were persistent on following me to the meeting. I even warned them about Mrs. Lesauvage and all. But they were stubborn. Just like you.

Taegan: Me? Why so??!

 Me: Remember that time we were thrown out of the arcade because you were so persistent on that 'Grab a Prize' machine? You were so frustrated that you couldn't win that you kicked the machine so hard, the alarm came on.

Taegan: *laughs* So I did. I am honoured you still remember that day.

Me: *laughs* How could I forget?

Taegan: Ok ok, You've made your point. But you wanna know something?

Me: Shoot!

Taegan: I think the curly dude likes you! *snickers*

Me: *blush* Get real!

Taegan: Ooooh! Someone has a crush on a pop star! *taunting*

Me: Taegan!! *laughs* I do not!

Taegan: Chill! I'm just fooling around. *laughs*

Me: * laughs*

 Taegan: So! What are you up to ?

Me: Not much. Just filled in the Browns why I was late today. Luckily, they understood. Though I did leave the part about the basketball incident out of it. How about you?

Taegan: Wise move. I'm just arranging the photographs for the school magazine. I really have to get this done before the end of the month. Mr. Duke is expecting a progress report soon. *sighs*

Me: You know that I'm always available to help right?

Taegan: I know. You've done so much! Your photos are amazing! I still don't believe that you're an amateur photographer.

Me: *blushs* Its not that amazing.

Taegan: It is! I only wish you could stay on here. Too bad you're on the student exchange programme.

Me: Yeah, tell me about it.

Taegan: Listen, I've got to go now. Have loads to do. I'll fill you in on the homework tomorrow during lunch. See you tomorrow?

Me: Ok. You bet!

Taegan: Ok, Bye!

Me: Bye!

*clicks phone*

 I left my phone on the bedside table and lay down on my bed. I stared at the ceiling for awhile, my mind running through what had happened so far until today.

I'm really going to miss this place once I go back home. Gosh I wish I lived here.

I turned out the lights and soon drifted off to sleep.
