The Outside Doesn't Count (Ongoing)

Chapter 5

I stayed sitting in my seat as he signaled me to come up. What should I do. I mean, I'm usually not shy for these things but, why do I feel shy now? As I was in my own world trying to figure out what to do, I didn't notice Chess had walked to my seat.

"Come on now, don't be shy." He said as he put His hand out signalling me to hold it.

I held his hand and he led me to the front of the class. I didn't want to look no one in the face so I put my head down. The teacher said that we may resume. I looked up to start singing. All the girls in the class looked like they wanted to kill me. What did I do wrong?

The teacher said that we may begin.

I took a deep breath closed my eyes resumed from the beginning of the chorus.

You got it all
You've lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown
You're in contr...

I opened my eyes and everyone was staring at me. Even the boys that were fooling around the whole time. I started too feel embarrassed and started to blush. Do they think I sing bad? Oh well, who cares I told myself to calm myself down.

Then came the second verse that chess is supposed to sing.

Now it was my part to sing the chorus. I began to sing. Halfway through the chorus he joined me . He could have sung the chorus all along! Ugh another one one of his tricks.
I looked at him with fire in my eyes. He just smirked at me.

To be honest, we sounded really good harmonizing during the chorus. When we finished the song, everyone applauded us. Even the girls that looked like they wanted to kill me.

He started to walk to his seat. I didn't notice, for I was in my own world. When I noticed I was the only one standing up there I quickly started to walk back to my seat. (Could this day be any worse.)As I nervously walked back to my seat,I tripped on my own bag. ( I just had to say that.) As I was falling, in my head i am like ' my life is over.'

I closed my eyes, but I didn't hit the floor. I opened my eyes and there I was, in Chess' arms. He caught me. I couldn't move, I was frozen. He looked me in the face with an emotionless expression, while I was flustered. I looked into his eyes as he looked into mine. I saw something that I have only seen in my eyes when I looked in the mirror. Pain. It was getting intense so he looked away.

"Avy...." He said In a weird voice.

"Yes.."

His voice changed to a serious tone and he said," Get up, you're heavy."

I immediately jumped out of his arms and snapped back to reality. What was that?

I looked around and everyone was staring at me. Especially the girls. There's this one girl who was giving me a mad stare that sent chills down my spine. She had blonde brown hair and piercing brown eyes. What did I do to her?

I sat down and everyone resumed to introducing themselves.

2 hours later

Finally, it was break time. I brought home made chocolate chip cookies to school for a snack. I sat on a picnic bench under a shady oak tree in our school yard. I have been sitting there since I started highschool. Not much people go back there because they say it is haunted. I don't really care anyways and I like it because it limits the chances of me getting to talk to people.
