❇Chapter 10❇

💫 ԋιƚ αɳԃ ɾυɳ

School had finally come to an end. The awkward break I had was behind me and nobody else bothered me for the rest of the day. As I left my last class for the day, the school as crowded as ever, I walked in the direction of the exit gates.

It was always a stampede when it came to the end of the day. Everyone rushing to get out of the building as soon as the bell rang. Rushing for their freedom. Almost as though they thought high school was a prison. Did I see high school as a prison? No. Honestly, it was better than primary school. I'll tell you a few things I missed about primary school though... my best friend, some of the teachers and art class but everything else was behind me.

Too engrossed in my own thoughts, I attempted to cross a path in order to get to the gates but before I could cross someone decided to run into me. I was expecting to fall after this mysterious person ran into me. I thought this was going to be a hit and run. That this person was going to just knock me over and keep running. I closed my eyes bracing myself for the agony I was about to feel of my whole body making contact with the concrete.

This is going to hurt. I winced, closing my eyes as I waited to feel the sting of my hands and body hitting the ground but instead I felt arms around me and then I realised I too had my arms around this person as well. Whoever this person was. We were practically embracing. Hugging one another?

"Are you crazy?" Was all I could say in that moment. "Next time look where you going."

This person didn't say anything. I think he was as shocked as I was and what was odd was that we were still embracing. I was delayed well, my body was. I was quick to scold this person but not quick enough to let go of them and my head was basically smothered in his chest. I didn't bother to look up at who it was though.

"Um," I heard his voice, "you can let go now."

My eyes went wide after realising I had not let him go. "Sorry." I said letting go of him as I moved back.

"No problem." He said before he dashed off not even looking at me. I didn't even get a chance to say thank you. I know I scolded him before for running into me but at least he had the decency to catch me. He wasn't like that idiot boys in primary school I remember, who would purposely run me over just so that they could get a kick out of me falling. What asses they were.

I looked in the direction of where he was running before he disappeared into the crowd of students that were staring at me, that girl from my neighbourhood included. Everybody's eyes were as wide as saucers before things went back to normal and everybody's attention was now shifted on leaving.

They saw that? I thought. I wonder if they thought we were hugging? I mean, we kind of were but it was an accident. I didn't plan on that and I don't think whoever that guy was planned on it either. Or did he? Who plans to run into someone? Other than the childish idiots at primary school of course. They planned that. But this?

Seriously? I must be on some next level sheet (I said that on purpose) to think that. It was just an accident. I overthink too much. I just hope the other people who saw what happened don't get the wrong idea.

Making my way out of the school gates I saw the black motorcycle in the teachers parking lot. I've been seeing that bike a lot lately. None of the teachers had a motorcycle like that so it had to be a student and I don't know why but it always caught my eye. I never ever saw the person who owned it though but they probably have their licence already since the teachers only gave parking lot access to learners who already had their licence.

Practically speed walking I stayed walking on the pavement as I looked in front of me to see if my moms car was there but nope she was not here yet. Great now I have to walk and unfortunately I didn't have a walking buddy so it looked like I was going to be walking on my own.

My house was basically a 10 minute walk away from my school so I guess it wasn't so bad plus other students walked this way as well so I wasn't necessarily "alone." I just didn't walk close to them. I was still a scaredy cat though. I hated walking alone even though I knew I was kind of safe with other people around me.

Walking with someone is a lot better though because then I would at least have someone to talk to you know, get my mind off things and to not have the mini heart attack I was currently going through. Well, in my mind anyway.

I glanced behind me as I crossed the street and there I saw the boy who always, well, I assumed he watched me but I could be wrong. He was walking with his friend who often helped him set up the stage for assembly and I was walking alone. I saw his eyes catch my own as I looked at him and then he looked away.

Looking back in front of me now I sped up a bit because I wasn't sure if they were following me or what. You can never be to sure and I told you I'm a scaredy cat. They probably weren't even following me. I'm just freaking out for no reason.

I picked up pace with that Finding Nemo tune that Dory sang in my head... Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, what do we do we swim but instead mine was just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking, what do we do we walk.

I know I'm weird for this but I really wanted to get home and I was walking alone, on edge and not sure if I'm being followed by a not bad looking guy to be honest. It was the only way to remain calm and get my mind off of things. I didn't have someone to talk to after all. This was why I resented walking alone. I always felt so vulnerable like I was being watched or like something bad was going to happen. Walking with someone is way better. It's comforting honestly.

I took a turn as I finally saw my house come into view. Thank god I'm almost home. I know it was a short walk but when you walking alone it's the worst. I looked back behind me to see if they were still following me but instead they walked straight and never took the turn I had taken. So looks like they weren't following me after all.

He's not following me?
