Interlude

Chapter 6

He looks at me with no emotion on his face. Feeling weird since i have never been in a area by myself with him. I just stay quiet, standing there and just looking at him. His eyes still focused on me, showing not even the slightest bit of happiness in them. His eyes are so dark i don't know if they are black or dark brown. My body is stiff and my muscles are all tense.

"Hi Katrina," he says again.

But this time he is walking towards me. When he is out of the door way, he kicks the door with his heel. But still his eyes on me, as he walks closer. When he is close enough to touch me if he wanted to. I quickly divert my eyes to the ground. He is standing directly in front of me and looking down at me. I am to afraid to look up at him and keep my eyes glued to the ground.

"How, i am greeting you," he whines out.

I carry on staying quiet. I hope he just gets annoyed with me and leaves me alone. He always does this to girls. He wants to see if they like him, so he gets into there personal space and looks them in the eyes. He believes if a girl is looking at him, then smiles and looks away then she likes him. Well that is what Audrina said to me because i would ask her why her husband does that to girls. Which is why i am trying to show no emotion at this very moment. He steps closer towards me, he is so close i can smell his deodorant. Marshall doesn't stand this close, he is really close. He is so close that his earphone cords could touch me. Hmm ... the boy got good taste in deodorant. Its strong but i nice strong. I actually want to ask him what it is. I just want to grab his shirt and sniff him. But he will think i am weird if i do that or even worse he might think i like him. I can feel his gaze on me and i just keep my eyes down. I know he is just messing with me.

When i hear a voice on the outside of the classroom. It saves me and i look at the door. Aware of the voice also Anderson turns his attention to the door. We both looking at the door, then it opens and its Marshall. I feel so relived that my tense muscles in my body. Begin to relax. He stops talking to who ever he was talking to and then looks inside the classroom at us. Anderson still standing there really close. He looks at me and then at Anderson individually. I am unable to decipher his facial expression. He looks at me and Anderson individually again. He walks in closing the door with his hand.

"Iman," he says while walking past me and Anderson.

This is my opportunity to avoid Anderson so i follow Marshall to his seat. Leaving Anderson where he is standing.

"Why do you hate me so much?" i think i hear Anderson whisper.

Anderson seems to forgotten about me and starts a conversation with Marshall. Marshall taking his seat. When i am standing in front of Marshall, it seems like he has forgotten Anderson was talking to him.

"Hello Iman," he chuckles out.

He smiles his winner smile at me. He then stands up closing the space between us.

"Hello Marshmallow," i whisper.

"You owe me something, Iman," he says reminding me about the promise i made.

Anderson goes and sit down in the same group as Marshall is in. He is directly opposite me and Marshall. I take a peek at him and see his earphones are back in his ears. He is sitting there on his phone. I ignore him and look back at Marshall. I gain the courage to lift my arms up indicating to Marshall i want a hug.

He takes a step towards me put his hands on my love handles. Pulling me to him,i put my arms around his neck. His body is flat on mine, and i stand on my toes to keep my arms hooked around his neck. He smells nice, its not too strong, its a weak scent. But its not as nice as Anderson's one though.

"You must do this exact thing tomorrow, Iman," he says still holding me.

When Anderson answers his phone, i pull my body away from Marshall. It wasn't a special hug it was a normal hug to me. I personally hate hugs and hate it when people touch me. But i feel it is rude when people want to hug me and i decline them. So i just hug them anyway even though deep down i am swearing them in my mind.

"You give nice hugs," i lie to him, to boost his confidence i guess.

"Its from experience," he says out proudly.

We are interrupted by Anderson who is talking on the phone, using his earphones. Making me focus on him because he is talking so loud. I walk past Anderson when he drops a pen in between his legs. He ends the call and brings his attention to me.

He is sitting there with his legs wide open and wearing the most tightest pants i have seen. It almost looks like its going to tear on him. His body structure is similar to Marshall but more muscler. But he is not to broad and doesn't have earrings.

"Fetch it," he commands.

It is directly in between his legs and if i bend down my face will be right by his ... Nope i am fine. I wonder to myself if he dropped the pen on the floor on purpose.

"No," i say annoyed.

I walk past him and go sit in my seat. I continue reading my book and wait for Audrina or Lorna to arrive. Audrina eventually arrives after six other students are in the class. She is with Lorna, Cody and Carlo.

"Helloz Kit Kat," Cody says to me and gives me a friendly hug.
