Chapter 3:
I quietly sit in the library reading my book, when that boy I rung up at the grocery store walks In with a lunch tray and a book. I am paralyzed. I can't move an inch. I can't let him see me. I pick up my 3 books as quietly as I can and tiptoe out of the library. I silently pray to myself hoping that he didn't see me.
Once I'm out of the library and out of sight, I head to my locker to get my books for world geography class. Might as well save time and get to class early.
After I take my seat and get out my pencils, guess who walks right in he door? None other than banana boy! My stomach does a flip. I try to hide my face with a book and act like I'm busy, but he sits right next to me.
"hey, do you mind If I sit here?" he asks. He sounds disappointed. Like he's looking for something he lost.
"uh..." I hesitate before answering, "Yeah, sure."
"thanks." he says relieved.
Some more students begin to pour In and the twitter of voices begin to fill my ears. I feel a Tap on my shoulder.
"can I take a look at your directory? I lost mine and I'm new." banana boy asks with his eyebrows hunched. I can tell he's desperate.
I decide to stop hiding and take this as a chance to... Know him.
"of course." I hand him a map of the school, "what's your name?" I ask
"Brandon. Yours?" he asks with a warm smile creeping across his face.
"Magdalena. But everyone calls me Mags or Madge."
"cool name. Haha both are names from "The Hunger Games". He laughs.
"that's why I prefer one of the nicknames." I grin.
"Awesome. You're a fan too?" he asks surprised.
"The biggest." his smile turns into a straight line.
"don't I know you from somewhere? You look familiar." he says
"well, I work at the shop 'n save. Maybe you've seen me there before." he looks a me, an then his eyebrows arch up.
"Oh yeah!" he says. He looks relieved.
"Didn't you Check me out once?" he said. He noticed?! Oh wait, he means checking out as in paying for groceries.
"Yeah I guess. You look familiar." I said somewhat embarrassed. Maybe this was the start of something.
